It's been 8 years since our parents died. We continued to live in the house we bought. Uncle John took care of us. We started Home school, we couldn't go to school anymore. We didn't want to mix up with others. I started reading books, my mom loves reading books, and reading books gets me distracted from what happened 8 years ago.

"Liz, does this dress look good on me?" Nina asks. Putting the dress close to her body and looking at the mirror.

"How am I supposed to know that?" I ask looking at her angrily.

"Oh, come on Liz, just tell me how does it look on me?"

I examine the dress "I guess it looks okay" She squeals. "Wait, were are you going to now?"

She drops the dress in her dresser."You know that cute guy, Ethan"

"Everybody knows Ethan". I wasn't being sarcastic, Ethan is so popular that every girl has a crush on. He's smart, cute, cool and talented. Like literally he plays the Guitar, piano and he's a singer. Every girl is tripping for him and it makes me sick.

"Well, he's sister Ciara is having a party" she smiled

"Oh" I said sarcastically. "Wait, is Nita following you"

"Uh, ya sure" She said trying the dress on. I had to admit she really looks good on the dress, she looks like her mother.

"Nina it's 2:15 let's go unless we'll be late" Nita says as she walks in.

Nita looks at me."Liz are you coming with"

Really."No, I still have to finish my book". I rolled my eyes looking at my book.

"Well you're loss"Nita says as she carries her coat.

"You two be careful, okay"

"Okay" They answer in unison. They head for the door. "Wait!" I call out. "Did you guys forget something?"

Their check their pockets. "All good!" Nita says.

"Ok, be back home early".

"Sure" Nina assures me.

A knock on the door. I get up and head to the door.

"I knew you guys forgot something.." I open the door and and see some people.

"Hello" I ask looking at them very confused.

"Hi dear, I'm Remy Tetrazzini, head of the child services" She puts out her hand to shake me. I shake her back.

"Uh.." She shuts me up. "I heard that you are living here without an adult supervision". My eyes open wide.

"Um you told you that" I ask looking very confused.

"Were are your parents" A large man asks.

"Uh they are in Toronto" I say

"So who is staying with you?" He asks again. What's with all this questions

"My uncle" I blurted out. "He's staying with us until they come back.

"Were is he now" Another woman asks taking notes. "He's out"

"Is there anyone living with you?" Yes my sisters" I didn't call them my cousins because I know they'll have other questions to ask me.

"Ok dear, maybe we'll come back later so that we can speak to your uncle" Remy said.

"That'd be great" I say as they walk away. I looked the door and quickly grabbed my phone and called Nina.

"Nina, come home now, there's trouble". I said pacing around panicking.

"What's going on?". She asked sounding panicked.

"Child services, they came here"

"Really, were on our way" Nina says
