You can forgive, but you can't forget

Chapter 2

Sophie was already downstairs by the time i came down. She was eating a bowl of cereal. Lucky charms, particularly. I took a seat with her, then remembered that my dinner was still in the microwave. Whatever. "What are you thinking about?" Sophie stated, interrupting my thought.
"Oh...nothing."
She nodded but made a strange face at the same time. I could tell by her puffy, red eyes  that she'd been crying. I wanted to ask her if she was alright, but there's no point in asking because i already know she's not. And anyways she would just lie, and cover it up. The sun peaked in through the kitchen window, blinding me. "Oh my gosh, it's so sunny out."
Sophie swallowed, then said, "I know right, it's been a while." I nodded and got up to go to the microwave. I opened it and took the plate out. "Want my dinner from last night?!"
She looked at me and laughed. "Yea right."
I smiled, and went over to my dogs dish and put it in there. Marley wagged her tail and gobbled it up in seconds. "Geez, you must be hungry." Suddenly, Marley ran to the door and started barking. Moms outside? I wandered over to the window and peaked out slightly, Hiding my body and only my eye showing. We had no curtains on this window, so i had to be extra cautious when stalking my mom or dad while outside. It's weird, but it's for a good reason. I saw her talking to a women outside, which kind of scared me. "Sophie, there's someone here.", "They're talking to mom."
She got up and came over to me. "Who is it?!"
"I don't know."
I shook my head, wondering what was going on. Then, a thought hit my head. "Sophie...I think it's DCFS."
She stopped dead in her tracks, and turned around. "What?!"
"You heard me. I think it's DCFS.", "And that that they're here to interview mom."
Her face turned pale. "What- What about dad?"
I didn't feel like talking, so i ignore her. "Alex!! What's going on?!!" I rushed over to get my shoes and put them on so fast that i was breathing so hard. "ALEX!!!"
I could tell Sophie was getting pissed, but i didn't really care. I shoved past her and walked right out the back door. I hid behind a bush as i watched the lady and my mom talk. Think. Think Alex. What now? Then, an idea sparked in my head. An awful idea. Fuck it. I didn't have anything, besides myself. But i'm not going back to my house to get Anything. I'll just have to figure it out, i guess. I waited for a good 10 minutes, until i just decided to get up and run. I didn't look back. Not once. The only thing that was on my mind, was getting out of this hell life. Goodbye Illinois. Hello Michigan.
