Sweat pouring down my head as my heart quickened and my feet tried not to give up on running. As I quickened so did the footsteps behind me coming closer. Falling to the ground as my legs gave up someones hand wrapped around me and sliced a knife piercing my skin. I woke up sweating and breathing deeply the only thing to be heard the sound of my quick heart beat. 

Instead of just sitting there I decided to go downstairs and clear my head as much as I could. I walked into the front room expecting to be able to just turn the TV on and watch anything but no I was wrong once again. Everyone sat somewhere they could and the only space was next to their daughter. 

"Right we can get this family meeting started." Mr Cole spoke 

Why the hell would this family see me as their family. I wasn't going to argue but it as I've done that so many times before. If they see me as family I don't get it cause all I've done at the moment is causing mayhem and that's all I'm going to do. They weren't my family to me they never will be. They need to get it through their thick skulls. 

"I know this is going to be strange and hard for you guys that Talon has moved in but we must welcome him. He will in a weeks time be starting sixth form with you Thea. You must show him around. All of you we will not allow what happened earlier on to happen again. We spoke to your social worker about what happened and spoke about a few issues including you quitting smoking. We bought you a shisha pen to help. We will be giving weekly update calls to your social worker. Do any of you have any questions or want to discuss anything?" Mr Cole discussed 

Acting like they can and want to help me they never do they just give up on me. I was going to get up when one of the boys spoke. 

"That's not fair if we were caught with a shisha pen even a cigarette you would have ago at us and punish us not encourage us." One of the twins spoke angrily. 

"And I don't think the fighting will stop. I also don't get why you still want him living with us he'll just cause too much problems." Zac protested

"Well, it's not your choice, Zac. All of you will deal with this as adults. End of discussion." Mr Cole demanded 

You could tell Mr and Mrs Cole was not allowing any of this. They all just and everyone went back to what they were doing. Mr Cole passed me my shisha pen that I wouldn't use and ran upstairs. 

As I was walking towards the room I was staying in someone walked into me. 

"Watch where your fucking going." I aggressively spoke to Mrs Cole's daughter. 

"Sorry prick." She mumbled as she picked up her stuff from the floor. One of the books interested me. I grabbed it and ran into the room, I was staying in and made sure the door was locked. I sat on the floor leaning my back against the side of the bed and started flicking through the book that interested me so much. It seemed to be some sort of sketchbook. I flipped through the pages taking in the detail of each piece of artwork. I sensed someone walk into the room from the side door and sit next to me and I knew exactly who it was. 

"You're a good artist." Why did I just compliment her she didn't need to think I cared. I didn't care. 

"Thanks. Wait one sec, my mom forgot to give you something." She spoke and walked out and back in with a few things in her hands including a clear box full of things. 

"We bought you some stuff for school. In here you have all your stationery, all your art stuff, your school uniform we guessed your size and finally a new school bag."

Why were they buying me all these things? To try and get me to be more part of their family? Be part of the Cole family? Never going to happen, or to get me to be at least their friends? I pissed her the sketchbook and sat there still. 

"Can you fuck off!" I shouted 

She got up and quickened her pace towards her room the door slammed shut. I didn't need her or her useless little family in here or becoming any part of my life. I wasn't allowing it to happen.

A few hours later I decided that sleep would be best for me currently so I wasn't any harm to any one. I stripped off to just my boxers and got under the covers and once again let sleep take over me.
