Monday
The school concert is coming up, I am so worried, I’ve been practising like a maniac, but I don’t know why, really - Mum and Dad aren’t coming, but I guess I should have expected it. Mum being too drunk to care and Dad being away and all. Now off to sleep as I haven’t got much else to say.
Tuesday
Today I went for a walk to the beach, and aren’t I glad I went! I was just sitting on the shingle making a small Mount Etna
Monday
Court hearing today. Guess what? I’m staying with the Hopes!!! For the ‘indefinite future’! Everyone was hugging when it was announced – I feel safe for the first time in years. At last, my Christmas is going to be with a real family.
Wednesday
Jermaine asked me about Nicky today. I told him she’s got the flu (she’s actually just skiving off college). He said to ask her if he could see her. I was very cool with him, I
Tuesday
I’m getting ready for play rehearsal. The mystery invitation is on my bed; my brother must have put it there. I still don’t know who it’s from, but I’ll figure that out later.

Monday
I can’t stop thinking about what Nicole said. She has to be a nutter or something. She must have made it all up, I don’t remember her…
Later
I just got back from work. Let’s just say I don’t have to wait until after Christmas to get away from that place. I just got the sack. Yep, can you believe it! I had Nicole on my mind all day, what she said. I think about how I was back then. I was out of control, drinking too much,
Monday After the great news on Saturday, I’m still completely confused over what I should do. I went to talk with mum about it, but she wasn’t a big help – all she told me was that I didn’t have to go if I didn’t want to. I told Jason as well… he was really excited that he might see me on Match of the Day! Dad really wants me to go, considering it’s a big opportunity and all, but I have no idea what I should do. I’d really miss Louise
