Kaylie's POV

"Lookee what I brought." I say as show my group of friends the bottle of vodka

"Alright!" My friend Jackson yells excitedly as I open the bottle of vodka

I take a big gulp out of the bottle and it warms my throat as it slides down it

I pass the bottle to Jackson before Justin offers me a cigarette which I happily accept

I put the cigarette between my lips and lean over to Justin before he lights the cigarette for me

*1 Hour Later*

I slide down the yellow slide as I take another swig out of the bottle of Vodka

Sirens fill my ears and blue and red lights blind me

"Fuck!" Jackson yells before he and the others take off running and the cops run after them

"You seem to be the smart one out of the bunch." A blonde female cop says as she walks over to the slide and I set the bottle of vodka down on the ground

"Name and ID." She says as I pull my wallet out of my purse before pulling my ID out of my wallet

"Kaylie Roberts." I say with an eye roll as I hand her my ID

"Kaylie Roberts, are you aware the legal drinking age is twenty-one?" The cop asks as I fold my arms over my chest and ignore her question

"Well, you're about five years shy of that, now aren't you?" She asks as she hands me my ID back and I drop it in my purse

"Hands behind your back." She says as she pulls her handcuffs out

I let out an exaggerated sigh as I turn around and put my hands behind my back

-1 Week Later-

"Heard you're getting out today." One of the 'tough girls' in juvie says to me

"Yeah, so?" I ask in a sarcastic tone as she glances back at the guard before she and her friends start to wail on me

*2 Hours Later*

The doors buzz as they open and I step outside allowing the San Diego sun to beam down on me

My eyes fall on the cop that arrested me standing outside of the gates with my social worker

I walk over to them and cross my arms over my chest

"Kaylie, this is Stef Foster. She's offered to take you in." Bill says as I look at everything but them

"Cool." I say nonchalantly as I glance up at her

She gives me a small warm smile before I look away from her

-Later That Afternoon-

I sit at the end of the small table in the kitchen with Stef as a mixed woman walks into the kitchen

Stef gets up and pecks the woman's lips before their eyes land on me

"You must be Kaylie." The mixed woman says with a small smile

"Kaylie, this is my partner Lena. Lena, this is Kaylie." Stef says as she introduces us and I give her a small smile

Four teenagers around my age and a boy about twelve walks into the kitchen with us

"You're Kaylie, right?" A caramel skinned girl around my age asks and I nod my head in response

"These are our kids. Mariana, Jesus, Callie, Jude, and Brandon." Lena says as she introduces us
