It’s not going to get better overnight, it will take time, but you will get there Mum, I promise…” Anna has a special gift of making people feel like everything is going to be OK, even when it isn’t. She has been that way ever since she was little. She is the oldest of four so it is perhaps only natural for her to mother her younger siblings. She always looked out for Peter and Ryan, but she completely doted on Abbey. They were incredibly close despite the 9 year age gap and Abbey grew up idolising her sister in every way. When Anna left home to go to University, Abbey was devastated. She was only 10 years old at the time and she cried for weeks after. Anna came home often though, and their relationship if anything became stronger due to the distance. She would always visit as much as she could no matter how much she had going on in her life. Anna has always been a real family person, kind, caring, and a lot of fun to be around. Beautiful on the outside as well, with soft features and a heart shaped face, framed by her long, light brown hair. She is going to make an incredible mum.
    Yet despite their closeness in the past, Abbey still can’t help sensing a change in their relationship. The alienation she feels towards Anna might be nothing compared to what she feels towards the rest of her family, but it is still there, that slight difference. ‘It shouldn’t be surprising really’, Abbey muses to herself, ‘nothing’s the same anymore’, and with a lingering sadness, she turns and slips quietly out of the room, unable to watch the bond between Anna and her Mum any longer without feeling the crippling loneliness that she tries so hard to bury. She can’t resist one last glance at the TV screen as she leaves, but instantly regrets her decision as she sees a 16 year old Ryan waving and laughing at the camera. A few weeks after that footage was filmed, he was gone.
    Abbey’s second and third week at school are much more successful than the first, and as the days pass her time at Eden Comprehensive seems to be gradually improving. After almost a month spent hiding away in empty classrooms during her lunch hour, she finally decides that enough is enough. She is being pathetic, deep down she knows it, and it is about time she gets over her constant sulking and starts trying to make the best of her current situation.
    The sun is shining today and Abbey finds it strange how a change in the weather can make such a difference to her mood. Things are strained at home; in fact it’s the worst it has been since her family moved to Leeds. Abbey and Janet aren’t talking, mostly because Abbey is avoiding her. Peter is making minimal effort, which is usually the case, and Anna and Dom are busy transforming their spare room into a nursery as well as making various other preparations ready for the new addition. All of them are occupied with their own lives but Abbey isn’t overly bothered, these days she prefers being left alone to deal with things in her own way. It is, at the very least, a nice day, and despite her current problems at home, she finds herself humming along to her ipod on the bus as she makes her way to school.
    Her first few lessons are productive, even enjoyable. Now that Abbey has settled into her routine and caught up with the work she has missed, she finds that she is very much on top of her A-Level courses. She knows and likes all of her teacher’s and has even started talking quite regularly with a few people in each of her classes. Still only polite conversation, but it is better than nothing. The horror of her first week is waning slightly, and although she is a long way off from liking Eden Comprehensive, it is starting to become more tolerable. It is these positive changes that make Abbeyall the more determined to finally venture out of her self-imposed, solitary confinement.
    Her class is one of the first to be dismissed for lunch, which she is thankful for. It means that she can beat the rush
