Broken glass

Georgina is very happy because her parents have left her for four days so that they could go to the Bahamas for holiday. But what happens when her parents are not at home is devastating. 1

Phew finally peace and quit, I thought to myself, im al alone. So quit, I guess I could just call Elizabeth maybe she has something interesting to talk about. Come one pick the phone up please...Darn it she’s not there, well I can talk to Sarah instead, oh no she’s at skiing lessons. Hmm I’ll need some eggs to make pancakes for dinner I guess ill have to go shopping. Right I have keys, money, phone...that’s all! Once Georgina found the eggs she got back home and she was cooking. “Just a spoon full of oil helps the pancake bake, Well duh im not that dum, cookbooks who needs them”. Five minutes later she’s tucking into dinner. Yum I never knew im such a first-class cook! What!! Its ten o’clock time fly’s by! So Georgina had a shower, brushed her teeth, combed her hair and got into bed. If mum was home she’d be yelling at me by now to be asleep ha-ha oh well she’ll never find out, good thing to.2

Yawn, aw im so tired, I have slept for four hours and it’s still only two in the morning. Georgina went to the bathroom and washed her hands, but suddenly, CRASH! Aahh! What was that? It was probably an owl flying into the window. Then again BANG! CRASH, SHATTER, I can hear a door creek incredibly loud. No that’s no owl! It can’t be, it just isn’t possible, that, that, and there is no way that there is a drunk or a burglar in the house, or is there? If I go down stairs ill find out, but if there was someone I’d be killed or worse attacked by drunks and burglars? 3

No, I have to stay im my bed where im safe... Or am I safe up here? What do I do call the police, scream, NO if I scream I’m shore they will come up. I’m going to call the police there is no other way. Georgina is franticly trying to find her phone still hearing voices down stairs. YES found it. She called the police and got helped by a nice woman who is sending help round. She put the phone down feeling a lot better. OH no they are upstairs lock the door I thought I ran to the door as fast as possible and locked it quickly. Oh dear please let this be over as soon as possible please, please, please. There she is sitting in a corner of her room crying, cold and shaking. It felt like hours went by until she heard police sirens. The sound is coming closer Yes, Yes please get here quick im terrified, im so scared she hears knocking on her door and a strong firm voice screams  “Is miss Georgina Joondalup in here?” YES, Yes I am Hello I am!! I’m screaming my longs out. Im in here, come and get me. Large crash thunders trough the room and there in the doorway there are four or five police men. I am walking as fast as I can to the doorway tripping crying hurt and absolutely terrified. Suddenly I every turned bright yellow everything was bright, I am blacking out I can see black squares in my vision. Georgina indeed had blacked out. 4

Hello Georgina, hello can you hear me im Dr. Mahin Harper. I opened my eyes and a worried faced woman who I didn’t know was sitting next to me and a doctor hanging over me checking something.  Wake up sleepyhead; you’re at the Perth Police Health Service. Don’t worry we will take good care of you. I looked outside it was daytime, and then I realized I was lying on a hospital bed and my right arm and left leg has plaster casts on them. Where did you say I was the Perth Police Health Service? That’s right indeed. I took another good look around the room, I noticed a bunch of roses and about sixteen cards where surrounding my bed. What happened? How long have I been here? You had been knocked out and have some minor injuries, and you have been here for er about three days and seven and an half hours now. You’re time here is nearly up young lady. You can go home in a day or two. Oh I was thinking. Dr.Harper left the room and so did the other woman who was next to me. Then a  police man who seemed familiar walked up to my bed and sat down. Who are you? I asked him, but the world seemed small and tense.  He started explaining what had happened, and then when he had finally finished his story I decided it was a good idea to ask how my house is, He says “Your house is fine but you’re missing things like the two televisions you had the computer and printer, your Ipod, Cd’s, videos and CD players are all gone plus... it’s a right mess. Oh yes and before I forget happy birthday Georgina, oh yeah it’s my birthday? It is? Oh I guess I forgot well thank you anyway. When can I go to my house and see what’s happened?  Not now, because we are still investigating all the damage. But when you do go don’t be to scared it is a big mess. The windows are all broken. Most things are missing. Your parents will be back tomorrow so you just have a nice rest and relax, and he left the room. 5
