Opal's Story

Opal's Letter

It's been a couple of days since we went bowling and since then I've settled in relatively well, Tracys been a godsend and I'm so lucky to have her

I head down to the office when a set of letters shoots through the letterbox I pick them up and rifle through

Tracy Beaker
Michael Milligan
Liam Donovan

I stop on one and smile

Opal Summers

I know the handwriting already, I head into the office, tucking my letter inside my pockets

'Two for you both' I say handing the letters over

'Thanks Opal' Mike says

Tracy gives me a smile and I head out of the office leaving Liam's letter on the side I run upstairs into my room, sitting down I open the letter and read through

Opal! I miss you so much! I've been fostered but it isn't really that fun without you, I hope your okay, don't be sad...I believe in you

Hopefully you can come and visit me soon! It might take a while as we both need to settle in but if you can that'll be amazing I'll have to ask my foster parents and you'll have to ask yours! Hope things are going okay!

Thank you for protecting me, I wouldn't have survived in that house if it wasn't for you backing me up and keeping me safe x

Gotta go now, Lucy's taking me to the cinema! (that's my sister, but don't worry she's nothing compared to you)

Love you lots like Jelly tots

I wipe away my tears and keep re reading the letter, how could a 7 year old be so intelligent

Tracy walks in and I smile at her

'What's up?' She says

'I got a letter from my sister...I miss her so much' I say, letting her give me a cuddle

I hand over the letter and let her read it

'Wow she's so intelligent isn't she?' Tracy says, smiling

I nod, feeling tears coming to my eyes I hide my face

Tracy places her hand on my shoulder, giving me a small smile

'She sounds like she's happy' she says

'It's all I wanted for her...I just wish she could be happy here, with me' I say

'Oh Opal...come here' Tracy says, giving me a hug

'Is there any way I could see her?' I ask

Tracy bows her head a little before answering, as if she's heard this before

'I don't know, she sounds settled' Tracy says

'She needs me I'm all she has' I beg her

'I'll see what I can do' Tracy says, smiling

'Thank you!' I say pulling her into me

'My pleasure' she says before leaving

With Tracys help, I'd be reunited with my sister! And it would be perfect
