"A Child Called It" and "How I Live Now"
'David why did you do that!" Davids mother screamed, "what?" Davis asked in a hushed tone, "You know exactly what you have done ruined this family!" yelled mother. With a sigh, yawn and a quick slapping by mother he was ordered off to bed in the cold, damp garage for the night. Right then and there he wished he could find somebody who would understand he insane lifestyle and his pain from it.
"Daisy, hurry your father is waiting out in the car you dont have all day." Daisy new stepmother called. " Sorry i was just packing up my last few things, im a little nervous about the trip" Daisy exclaimed. "Change is always good, you know" her stepmother replied, "I guess.....opps i completly forgot" said Daisy "my flight, see you in eight monthes" she called as she put her bags in the car and drove away. Minutes later she was at the airport, her dad left her and she was by herself waiting to boared wondering if she made the right decision leaving her family and freinds. Here, Daisy sat wondering if she could ever meet a freind who could understand her crazy and disorganized and heart breaking life.
It was summer, a time for fun and enjoyment but for these two kids, many miles apart were looking for one thing a true freind. Daisy aka Elizabeth is a New Yorker she lives with her dad and her father new wife. Reciently her stepmom became pregnant and to avoid excess drama in the house hold Daisy decided to spend the summer and a few more monthes with her cousins and aunt that she has never met.
David is a 11 year old boy from a small town in the midwest he lives with his four brothers, father and insane mother. During the coarse of his life he was beat and put through great amount of torture by his mother. All David wanted was to be treated like a kid and have fun like his brothers always did, instead of being treated like a slave in his own home.
After Daisy spent almost a year and almost a year and a half because of an outburst of wars in the england this made it unsafe for Daisy to fly back home, for monthes Daisy roamed with no sign of her cousins and fought for her self willing to survive. Finnally, Daisy was able to fly back home to her family. At the airport the same day David was flying into to New York, to visit family and for a vacation, all he could wish for was that mother wouldnt hurt him and use him as a slave. As David walked off the plane and into the the airports waiting room, he noticed a girl this girl was Daisy. Daisy noticed him and usually a shy girl went up to him and like old freinds started a conversation. Unfortunatly time passed to quickly and they both had to leave to go with there family they exchanged number quickly and then rushed off back to there normal everyday lives.
When David arrived home a week later he decided to call his new freind Daisy. The two started talking about family and freinds. Soon the two knew everything about each other and how David mother abused him and Daisy new stepmom who she disliked. The two shared a very strong freindship even though they were miles apart.
David and Daisy taught eachother many things. David taught Daisy that when things are going your way to watch for that little ray of sunshine even though skies may seem gray, Daisy taught David that one day you will have a good life and that this stage of it is only a bump in the road.
Daisy and David showed the true meaning of freindship even though it seemed like they were from differnt times.
