Chapter 29: 29

Vallea lay in bed sleeping. She was so tired she’d been there two weeks and only had four weeks left to the beginning of term then she would plan her escape out of this hell hole and return home if she knew where this hell hole was. It was always sunny, and hot she had a feeling that she wasn’t in the U.K. any more they’d moved there before she had begun high school because the heat in Italy didn’t agree with her or her delicate skin. She was supposed to moisturise her skin daily, her skin had begun to blister and she was feeling the sun stroke become worse, she had become nauseous due to the heat, was she back in Italy? If so, where was she?

The knock came to the door she wanted to tell them to go away. ‘Val are you up’

‘Go away.’ She groaned.

‘It’s me Domienico can I come in.’

‘Go away I don’t feel good.’

‘I’m coming in.’

She screamed into her pillow.

The door creaked as he opened it. He walked over to her bed. ‘Don’t play the shit over my eyes Val I’m not dumb.’
