MJ hasn't had the best start to life, her dad died in a car crash which caused her brother to become paralyzed when she was 6, her mum turned onto drugs and alcohol and got a new boyfriend that abused her. She went into care when she was 8 with her...
I was sat in the office next to Leanne while she was signing paper work saying I was now part of the Elm Tree House residents, I started to zone out thinking about my dad and how much I missed him. I was brought out of my thoughts by Mike telling me,
"Now MJ you've been kicked out of 19 care homes for fighting, turned down foster families and don't make friends very easily why is that?"
"I was kicked out of my care homes because they either were asking for a fight, had taken mine or Charlie's stuff, defending myself or protecting my sister but one of them fights caused me to get split up from my sister, I refused to be fostered because I didn't like the foster parents or their kids and the reason I don't make friends easily is because I have all the friends I want to have those are the friends I've known since I went into care." I said looking Mike dead in the eye
"Alright and you don't share rooms with people either unless that are familiar with your situation or are family correct?" Mike asked I nodded and said
"The only people I ever shared with were Charlie and my best mate Dylan she understands why I have the nightmares and understands me for me not a messed care kid." I said looking between Mike and Gina
"Okay now for the rules," I sighed "No fighting, No swearing, Don't go in other peoples rooms without permission and Treat the other kids with respect. Do you understand?"
"Yeah whatever." I said and slumped down in my seat
"Well I better be off I've got more paper work to fill out for other people. I'll see you soon MJ." Leanne said standing up and giving me a hug, secretly I always thought of Leanne as my mum ever since I went into care
"Bye Leanne." I said and she walked out
"You can leave now if you want now MJ and go and unpack your things if you want or you can go in the lounge and talk to the other young people its your choice." Gina said looking at me
"I'll go unpack my stuff." I said and went upstairs towards my room.
