What they said to me

In a Hospital Bed

21st October
Today I woke up, and found I was in hospital. It had been 16 days since the window incident. Meggi was nowhere in sight, but I decided to stay quiet. It began to get confusing, so I have decided to write a part of my diary in 3rd person. Here it is:

Mimi faints behind the bins, the binmen come along. Meggi distracts the binmen, the binmen walk around the corner and discover Mimi ,unconscious. They phone hospital and police immediately. Mimi is given stitches. Meggi is questioned by the police, and she tells them the entire story. Mimi was taken to a foster home where she could live happily with her sister. If her sister could make it through.

So yeah! I missed all that! Oh, I hope Meggi is all right, bless her. Oh, I nearly forgot! My dad was sent to...prison...for child abuse. He's got 'depression'. I only hope that one day, he'll be happy again.
It turns out, the girl with the fake tan...her name is Cate....is moving schools! Oh, happy days! The only thing is...I can go to the school disco now, because nobody will tease me. But I haven't got a dress so...
Oh my! I've just noticed, my cut...it's got stitches...! Quietly, a nurse came through to my ward.
"Hello dear. It's g ood to see you awake and well!" She said, giving my arm a pat.
"Thank you. When will I be able to leave? Can i see my...sister? Hang on, sssssss, sssssss, sssssissssster! My brace...it's, it's gone!" I said, almost jumping up and down with happiness!
"That's right dear. They had to take it out, because it was the wrong size for you. It gave you an infection, but it's gone now. You'll be seeing your sister this afternoon at 2 o'clock. I hope you are looking forward to it."

At 2, Meggi arrived with a man called Glenn, I mean, "Uncle Glenn" and a tall, kind, flowery woman, called Louisa, or Auntie Lou. Guess what! Auntie Lou gave me a present, of my favourite possible thing. It was basically a box...but...it was filled with my favourite things: Dress Making Materials! The box was full of creamy silk, white netting, pearly white ribbons, beads, clear sequins, and a gorgeous strip of cream velvet.

I knew exactly what I was going to do.
I was going to make myself a dress for the disco!
