I never met my parents

My foster mother always said my father was a kind and loving man that only did what was best for me.

But I call bullshit.

No one in their right fucking mind would let me grow up in the system.

TW: Self Harm, mentions of rape

I woke up, the sun shining through the curtains being too bright to bare.
I lifted myself up off the bed and smacked my lips, tasting old alcohol that I had drank last night.
I groaned and got up, walking to the dirty and unwashed bathroom and opened up the medicine cabinet and grabbed my tooth brush.
I stared at my reflection in the dirty and grimy mirror and grabbed a dirty towel laying on the floor and tried to wipe it off so I could properly see what I looked like.
It only smudged the dirt and mold but it was good enough for me. I brushed my teeth and scrolled through my phone as I heard my foster mother's feet stumble up the stairs. When I heard the door to my room open I put my phone away and continued to brush my teeth.

The clink of a bottle got my attention when I turned to stare at her. She had messy blonde hair and was wearing a black band t-shirt to go with her brightly colored underwear that peeked through the bottom of her shirt.

"Hey kid... can you get me some cigarettes and beer?"
My nose scrunched as the scent finally made it's way to my senses.

"You smell like shit."
I said as she walked over and sat on the closed toilet.

"Yeah..."
She said, slurring her words.
She took another swig of the bottle and threw it in the trash can. She smelt of vomit, liquor, and cigarettes.

"You should take a shower Cathrine."
She laughed a bit.

"We can't afford that much water. I'm living on the water from the sink."
She said motioning to the sink as I spat out the remnants of toothpaste from my mouth.

"Use the checks."
I said placing my toothbrush back and walking out.

"I will."
I left the bathroom before I heard a loud gag and a splatter. I made a look of disgust as I heard her continue to vomit.
I grabbed a jacket and a pair of sweatpants before snatching the headphones on my nightstand and running down the stairs.
As I made my way down the stairs, I stopped on a step midway when I heard bottles smashing.

"damn it. Richard is in a bad mood."
Not wanting to get beaten today, I ran back up the stairs and opened the window that was nailed shut.

"Where you going Tenshi?"
I heard Cathrine say through the bathroom door.

"For a walk. You want anything besides beer?"
She said no and I continued to jumped out, landing in the dead tree just outside.

As I climbed down, I heard children laugh and saw that some of the neighborhood kids were playing soccer in the street.
As I walked past, I heard someone shout so I turned and immediately caught to ball that was headed towards my face.

"SORRY- oh wait it's Tenshi!"
The little boy yelled out.
As the kids gathered around me I held up the ball and spun it on my finger.

"Last week you guys were playing basketball. What happened to that?"
I asked tossing the ball to the eldest.

"Kenny was shot near the courts. It's a crime scene now."
He said sadly.
