"Mum help help I cant move" I screamed ! Mum was teriffied she flung for the phone she dailed 999 so quick it looked like somebody had fast forwared the event. I woke up I had no idea where I was or what was happening I thought I was dreaming till I saw mum stood staring at me as if I was in heaven I new I wasn't. Mum explained to me that I had been diagonosed with diabetes I wondered what it was I now have to take insulin injections everyday 4 times if my blood sugars are correct if they are not I have to have more. I had a dream it was to find a secret place where I could write and write with no one to bother me I would write books about my myself me Mia who is 9yrs old. One day I went for a walk in a dark dark wood then I saw something sudenly move underneth the moss. I searched every where and couldn't find anything except some rubbish then I heard a whisper it said you didn't try underneath. Startled I stood still and asked if anyone was there they said "yes i'm in the trap door under the moss!" I walked through a tunnel that led to the most amazing place I had ever been it had roses craling up the walls the smell flew up my nostrils. Suddenlly mum rang me and told me to go home she said it was getting late the sun was still beating down on me. I slowly strolled home It was 8.00pm,when I got home so I deiced to go to sleep.I went to bed but I was restless I just couldnt get to sleep then images started flying around my head like stilll's out of a movie.I couldnt make out what they were I sat up and started to shake I realised that I was shaky. I told me she woke up rubbed her eyes and went down stairs to get me somes snackes to bring my blood up. She carfully walked up the stairs with a cup of milk and a pack of raisns. When I was 20yrs old my dream came true my books got published and my life was good and my diabetes were easy to manage.
