Chapter 1: Clear skys

I run out the back door, I hear the door slam behind me, no shoes just the dirt and grass beneath my feet. I was staying in a small house with a large backyard. The tree behind was large and in full bloom, I wanted to get up onto the branches so I climbed the metal poles keeping the over hang up next to the tree, I picked the flowers and I climbed down and missed the last circle to the metal loop and I land on my ankle wrong. I lay on the ground looking at my leg rubbing it. I was left behind by my parents, they left me with the neighbors next door, who were elderly. They shouldn't be looking after a 7 year old but they were and I didn't care what happened to me, I felt so empty. I drag my leg in uncomfortably and I managed to get to my undersize toddler bed meant for a 4 year old. Better than nothing.
