...at the man that stood in their living room."Mum,who is
this?"she asked.Her mother stared at the man in the living
room,then said,"this is your stepfather hon".:WHAT!!!!"yelled
Jane."This is not my father,mom what is this?"."Hon,me and Jamie
werent getting on very well,so we had to divorce,there is no way
he is coming back now,he has a wife in california already and I
decided to get married to my boyfriend"said her mum.Jane looked
at her mum again then stared at the tall man.He looked very
handsome and tall,with dark hair and blue eyes.His facial
features were amazing,but he was not her father,he would never
be. The man said,"I know this might be hard for you,but your
fathers gone,and Im here to stay"."Nooo,you will never be my
father"yelled Jane as she ran upstairs to her room.A loud bang
was heard and the sound of a locked door,followed by a loud
weeping.Jane wept in her room for hours and hours.Why did her
parents divorce,they argued a lot but that didnt mean they
shouldve divorced.And why did her father move to california?He
told her and her little brother he loved them very much.Then why
did he leave.Hours later,her mum knocked on her door."Leave me
alone,"yelled Jane."Jane,open the door"said her mum. Ï told you
to get out",yelled Jane even harder."Honny,you have to acept
it,you might not understand at this age why me and your dad
broke up,but youll understand when youre older".Jane was quiet
for a while,then she unbolted the door and opened it."You might
say I dont understand,you might say that man is my
stepfather,but I will never,ever regard him as my father".said
Jane.Then she cleaned her eyes and walked downstairs.

...at the clock on the wall. It said 10:00pm, they were running
late. "Jane! If you don't behave, I am going to leave without
you!" "But mum!" "No but's! You get changed so we can go or I
will leave without you!" Jane storms up the stairs to her room.
She doesn't know why she has to move in the first place. She had
lived in this house all her life and now they were moving, why
she wondered as she changed. As soon as she was done she headed
back down the stairs. "Mum! I'm ready!" Jane looks around.
"Where are you mum?" She looks at the clock and realizes now
that it took her 30 minutes to change. Had her mother left her
here? She didn't know and now she feared what would happen.
"Mum! Please mum, I am ready!" Jane screamed, with a tear
rolling down her face. Jane was so scared. She had been left by
her own mother. She decided to go outside to look for her. When
she got outside she saw a car that looked like her mothers
driving away. "Wait mum! I am here!" She screamed. As she ran
after the car she began to cry, making it hard to see. She kept
running regardless of her impaired vision, hoping to catch up
with her mother.
"Jane! Jane! Wake up dear!" Jane woke up, she had been in the
car with her mother, she hadn't left her after all, but she had
been so scared. As she looked out the window of the car, Jan saw
herself in the mirror and saw that she had recently been crying.
Thought's go through her head, what really happened, was it a
dream? "We are here dear." Her mother said, as she got out of
the car. Jane got out and saw her new house and knew that life
wouldn't be as bad as she had once thought, she thought all this
as a single tear rolled down her cheek, leaving her sorrows
behind with it.
just came up with this in about 5 minutes, hope it actually
sounds good.

... but not at Jane. She was staring at the angel which had just
fallen into their kitchen. The angel was unconsious, wings
fanned out infront of her, her long eyelashes closed. She looks
beautiful, thought Jane. And so did her mum. They both carried
the angel upstairs and left her next to where Jane's snoring
stepfather was. Jane and her mum both got a camera and took a
picture of the stepfather and the angel in bed together. But,
unluckily, the angel woke up at the sound of the flash of the
camera. She sat up in the bed, eyes filled with shock and
horror.
'Who... Who are you?' she whispers, in a beautiful, holy voice.
Jane was too stunned to speak. She didn't know that angels spoke
English! But her mum was chatting away to her, telling the angel
about our life history, as if they were best friends. But all
that chatter woke up Dave, the stepfather. He shot out of bed,
and stared in astonishment at the angel.
'Who... Who's this?' he asked, his teeth chattering.
Jane's mum answered quickly before the angel could say anything.
'Oh, honey, don't be scared, it's just one of my friends playing
at dressing-up. She was going to go to a fancy dress party
later,' she gabbled, hoping that would stop Dave from doing
anything drastic.
But it didn't work. Dave snatched the camera from Jane and
looked at the photos. When he saw the one of him and the angel,
he went as red as a beetroot. He took a step towards Jane's mum,
and before Jane could step in the way to protect her, he punched
her in the jaw. Jane's mum screamed and ran out of the room.
Dave pushed past Jane fiercly and ran out too, catching up with
Jane's mum. Jane was so distracted by the whole commotion, she
didn't see the angel fly out of the window, a look of anxiety on
her face. Jane heard a high-pitched scream, and a thump as
something fell down from her bedroom onto the garden floor
below.
Jane went running down to the garden to see what it was. Was it
her bedside lamp? Her giant dolls house?
But this was something much more expensive. Jane saw a person
down there, a woman, with long brown hair and big brown eyes.
This woman wasn't moving. It was hard to tell who she was
because her hair was all over her face. But Jane knew instantly
who it was.
It was her mum.
She looked over at Dave, who was biting his lip anxiously. He
looked Jane in the eye, and he ran off to the pub, not even
bothering to take his car. Jane lay beside her mum, stroking her
hair, whispering in her ear, hoping that she would wake up. But
nothing worked.
Jane knew that now she was on her own.
