Episode 16

Tears filled my eyes as I stood there in shock, not knowing what to say. Mrs Philips was fuming in anger. The broken plates were still lying on the floor and the broom and dust collector just laid beside it. I was not expecting this from her and it hurt me so much. I looked between her and her son as David continued to stare at both of us.

"I just asked what was going on here? What happened?" David asked again.

"Ask that silly boy. Don't you ever break any of my plates again, or else you will regret it," she warned and left the kitchen.

David looked at me sympathetically. "Are you okay?"

I shook my head. "I was just hungry and came into the kitchen to get something to eat. I didn't mean to break any of the plates. I didn't mean it," the tears flowing Del from my eyes.
