maybe this isn't right
Bobbi knew tensions were high in the house and Daisy had locked herself in her room but she really wanted to go to this party.Mom and Dad had said no and that she was too young for partying especially with older kids. Then she got the ‘You need to set an example for Daisy and Leo talk’ from Mom.
Bobbi managed to get dressed and put her makeup as quietly as possible, as she sneaked out of the corridor she saw the sight of Mom fast asleep on the floor next to Daisy’s door. Now Daisy’s door was slightly open and she peaked in climbing over Mom. Daisy lay on the floor still in her clothes from dinner.
“Honey let’s get you into your PJs and you want to go to bed?”
Daisy looked up with her face all puffy from crying and nodded. Bobbi picked Daisy up like a young baby and helped her into her soft PJs. Bobbi was about to put her down but Daisy hung onto her like a monkey.
“Do you want me to go or stay and cuddle ?”
Daisy quickly looked up and signed ‘no stay’.
“Okay let me go put on my PJs and we can cuddle together.”
Bobbi forgot all about the party in those moments and realised Daisy was finally opening up to someone and she felt so happy that Daisy wanted her to stay. As she walked back in Daisy’s room she scooped her up and lay on the bed with her cuddled in her arms.
‘You are my sunshine my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You’ll never know dear how much I love you
So please don’t take my sunshine away
Bobbi’s singing helped her little one drift off into a silent slumber.

Bobbi woke with a start remembering this was not her room she had fell asleep in. The bed felt oddly cold someone had opened the window and Daisy wasn’t in bed. She was trying not to panic but Mom would actually kill her if she lost Daisy.
Trying not to alert the whole house of Daisy’s disappearance while trying to find her was going to be difficult.
“Daisy where are you? Daisy, Daisy!” she let out in a strained whisper.
She opened the back door into the garden where the large and beautiful oak tree stood, casting shadows over the house as the sun rose.
“Daisy what are you doing you might fall ? Please come down.” Bobbi screamed as she saw her further up the tree than anyone had climbed. The panic began to rise in Bobbi’s voice as Daisy just ignored her and continued to climb higher.
“MOM MOM, wake u-up!” Bobbi screeched through the house
Melinda jumped out of bed in an instant running down the stairs and out the house followed by a tired looking Leo and Phil.
“What’s happening where’s Daisy ?” Bobbi just pointed up to the tree.
“I can’t get her down.”
“Daisy come down honey we aren’t fighting anymore, we are sorry, please you are making us all sad, we are scared for you being up so high.”
Instead of climbing higher Daisy just sat on the branch while watching the sun rise the whole family just stared up at the small girl who was still a mystery since day one.

Melinda had to finally admit to herself she was out of her depth with Daisy.
“Phil I can’t do it anymore she’s currently 10ft off the ground in a tree which none of us can get her down from, I think we should call social.” She let out a sob not managing to finish the sentence.
“I think you’re right baby.”
“Hi this is Melinda May-Coulson I’m calling regarding Daisy who we are currently fostering will we be able to set up a meeting. Thanks that would be great.” Melinda put the phone down
“They are calling the CPS team that’s in charge of more difficult cases. They’re going to come get her this afternoon.
