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...
So I'm Dylan and I'm going to tell you the day I went into care when I was 7.
Flashback
I was sat in my nan's living room watching my favourite TV show Nina and Neurons waiting for my mummy, daddy and Liam to pick me up.
I had been staying with my nanny while my family were at a football match in Germany for Liam, they were coming home today and I was very excited.
I was sat there enjoying the Sciencey TV show while my nanny was in the kitchen cooking biscuits. I've always really liked Science its just something I really understand.
I watched about 6 episodes until I switched TV show and started watching Lazy Town (A/N: I love Lazy Town in real life poor Robbie Rotten actor with stage 4 cancer).
Hours later nanny came in the living room and asked me,
"Dylan where's your mummy and daddy aren't they meant to be here by now?"
"I don't know can you call them please nanny?"
"Of course sweetheart." Nanny picked up the phone and dialed mummy's number when someone answered nanny's face dropped it wasn't mummy on the phone it was a strange man, I only heard half the conversation which was nanny's side.
Nanny ended the call and her face went scaringly pale, as if she had seen a ghost, I asked,
"Nanny what's wrong?" I looked up at her and her eyes brimmed with tears
"Oh sweetheart mummy, daddy and Liam have been in a horrible accident, they're not going to be back for a while." She said her voice cracking I knew what she meant mummy, daddy and Liam were gone I burst in to tears and sobbed into nanny's arms.
(A/N: New Flashback into when she actually goes into care 2 months after the accident)
2 Months Later:
Its been 2 months since mummy, daddy and Liam died I have been living with nanny and its okay but nanny doesn't look very good.
I heard a crash from the kitchen so I ran in and saw nanny lying on the floor motionless. I panicked and grabbed the phone and called 999 (911 in America) and an ambulance came shortly after.
I was sat in the waiting room waiting for news on nanny, a doctor came out of nanny's room and he had a look of sadness and sorrow in his eyes,
"Dylan is it?" I nodded "Your nan has sadly been diagnosed stage 2 lung cancer and can't look after you for now so this nice lady Leanne is going to take you back to your nan's house, get your stuff and take you to a place where you can be looked after." Tears brimmed my eyes nanny was ill and I couldn't help her "Is that okay?"I nodded a few tears rolled down my cheeks and I turned to see a kind looking woman walking towards me and the doctor with a look of simpathy to me she looked at me,
"Dylan right I am Leanne I'm going to be your new social worker because your nan is to ill to take care of you I'm going to take you back to your nan's house, get your stuff and take you to a care home with people who can take care of you. Is that okay?" I nodded my head and asked
"Can I say goodbye to nanny before we go?"
"Of course." Leanne said simpathetically and the doctor lead me to nanny's room. I walked in and saw nanny lying there staring at the wall. When I walked in her head twirled towards me and I ran to her bed and gave her a huge hug, I sobbed into her shoulder and she lifted my head up to look at her,
"Listen to me sweetheart no matter what happens never lose sight of the good in the world and the good in people no matter what happens never forget me okay?" I nodded and gave her the biggest hug I could give her
"I promise nanny I'll be good while I'm gone but promise you'll try and fight this, but if you can't anymore tell mummy, daddy and Liam I miss them and I will miss you so much while I'm not with you I love you nanny I'll see you soon I promise." I said and released nanny from the hug and smiled at her, she had tear tracks down her face, I kissed her cheek and walked to the door but before I left I turned around and blew a kiss to her and then walked out where Leanne was waiting for me.
We went to nanny's house and I got all my things, packed them in a suitcase and went back downstairs to Leanne to see her looking at pictures from I was little. She stopped at a picture of me and Liam in front of our old house,

I was 5 and Liam was 11 I was annoying him by squishing his face and me looking like a monkey I cleared my throat and she turned around I walked over, grabbed the photo and put it in my bag I kept hold of my favourite teddy Bing a rabbit I have had since I was born while Leanne put my suitcase in the boot.
I got into the passenger side of the car and waited for Leanne. After she got in we started making our way to my new care home.
End of Flashback
So that's how I went into care I was 7 and my nan sadly didn't win her battle with lung cancer and died when I was 10.
