I was sitting in my bedroom staring out of the window, it was cold and miserable outside, exactly matching how I was feeling. I had told my Dad that I had homework to do, but honestly I just wanted to be alone. I had felt like that for over a year now, ever since the day my Mum had disappeared. I tried to visualise her face, I did that at least 3 or 4 times a day, I was so scared that one day I would forget what she looked like.

We had no idea why she had gone, one day she was there, the next day it was just me and Dad. I missed her so much, I missed her singing in the kitchen and the sound of her laughter when Dad told her one of his jokes. Since she had left there had been no more happiness in our house. Dad and I were just existing.
