I finally got back into my room after a violent beating. I wiped up all the blood and went to school. No one noticed the bruises. I went and sat down alone. Then some boy came and sat down next to me. I didn't recognize him.
"Hi" He said
"Hi" I said back
"I'm Ryan" He smiled
"Ashely" I said still confused "Why are you sitting here?"
"Wow rude" He said
"I didn't mean to sound rude but no one ever sits by me"
"Oh well this was the only seat open and you looked lonely so I sat down here"
"Oh"
"Yeah"
We sat and talked to the end of lunch. After school I went straight home. My mom was doing drugs and my father was waiting for me to walk in the door. He started to hit me. After five minutes my brother came in. He fought my dad and called the cops.
"Ashely?" Drake asked
"Leave me the fuck alone Drake!!!!!" I screamed as I got up
"Ashely what's going on he could of killed you" Drake yelled
"So what!! Like you care!"
"Ashely I care about you"
"Drake the day you left he started to hit me!!!! Why did you leave me here??"
"I didn't know Ashely. I'm sorry"
"I tried to call you but you never answered"
"Ash I'm so sorry I didn't have any idea. I shouldn't of left you here."
"Yeah you shouldn't of but you did. So just leave like you did before I'm fine here"
"Ash don't push me out"
"Leave me alone!!!!!"
"Ash"
"Just go" I let a tear slip down my face.
He walked outside and got into his truck and drove away. I fell to the ground and started to cry. The cops showed up and arrest my mom and dad. They took me into custody and put me into a foster home. I told them I didn't know where my brother was.
"Okay I am going to ask you questions and I am going to need you to answer truthfully" My case worker said
"Okay" I said
"Full name" She said
"Ashely Faye Carter" I answered
"Birthdate"
"September 23 1999"
"School"
"Greenville high"
"Grade"
"Nine"
"Okay so do you want to stay here or be moved?" She asked
"I would like to stay here but if you need to move me that's fine to" I answered
"Well I will try to keep you local Ashely" She smiled
She typed on her computer and then it dinged. She looked confused but kept typing. It kept going off. She finally smiled and looked at me
"I found you a home for a little while" She said
"Who?" I asked
"A women who lives with her son who is in 9th grade" She answered
"Okay" I said
"Go pack your stuff"
I went and got my stuff. They drove me to my new house. I was a little nervous at first. When we got there the women came outside. Her son Fallowed her. I recognized him. He was the kid who bullied me every day at school. He pinned me against the lockers.
"Mrs.Kea this is Ashely. She goes to the same school as Dean" The caseworker smiled
"That's great so what's her story" She asked
"Ask her let her tell you" The caseworker answered
I got my stuff and went inside. They showed me to my room then we had dinner.
"So Ashely how did you get into foster care" She asked me
"Oh umm......Well......You see......My brother moved out and then my father started abusing me. My mother started doing drugs." I looked down.
"Oh Ashely I'm so sorry" She said
I saw the look on Deans face when I told that he looked ashamed of himself. I felt bad I wanted to talk to him alone. After dinner I went to his room.
