She and Pete only had a one-bedroom flat, but they said I could stay for a few days. I called Daniel to tell him what had happened, and he came over. He was shocked, and told me he loved me and would do his best to find us a place to live together - but it would take time, because he didn’t have much money. I was so glad that he wanted us to be together - I wanted to be with him too. But in the meantime I still had nowhere to live and no money. Not only was there not much room at Pete and Tanya’s, but Pete was making a living dealing drugs, and I felt really uncomfortable being around it. The whole place stank of cannabis, which was smoked day and night by all the people who came round, and I hated it. I needed somewhere else to go, and Tanya thought of Sally and Rod, the couple who were now living in Terry’s old house, across the road from where we used to live. Tanya knew them and she went to see them and suggested they might like to have me as a lodger, for a bit of extra cash. They agreed that I could move into their spare room, so I went to see social services, to tell them what had happened and see if they could help with money.
