The social workers name i learned was miss lorelle and boy was she a pain kept dragging on and on about rules and expectations for children in her care i was too focused trying to fit tbe pieces together to notice a word coming from her coffee stained breath if she was found in her bands van surely they where the ones that called it in but theyd never do anything to hurt her suerly they wouldve told her first if

The car stopped infront of a dingy falling apart falt complex with graffiti and crushed tin cans scarttered everywhere she felt as if she needed a booster shot just to smell the air she stepped out of the car and kept her head down walking inside with her suit cases miss lorelle showed her to the apartment the stairwell may have been more disgusting than the outside she groaned at how much gunk was all over as she swore she saw a pizza slice get up and run away the door creaked open and there was a rancid smell from the apartment and her noise recoiled in disgust looking around seeing bags of bullshit and rubbish scattered on the floor and 4 other children all more grubby than the last pop there heads from a corner to look at her
"You will adress me as miss lorelle and yoy will do your chores after coming home from school if i so much as get one phone call home about your behaviour i will theow you into the system to rot are we clear"
She looked at her shocked
"What the hell amkes tou think you can talk to me like that"
"I am the adult you are to respect me ash such and we cant afford to keep you in home school youll be going to brookland around the corner yoy start tommrow"
With that she undid her blazer and shirt ans sat on the couch with her feet up y/n looked hopelessly and walked to the only spare room well more like a broom closet was this gonna be her life? Broom closets and pizza rats? She sat on her bed and ran her hand threw her hair ans her phone rang casper a member of nicoles band was calling her she picked up
"Hey i heard about what happened im sorry"
"What do you mean you heard didnt you report it?"
She looked confused
"No how could i report it? I never saw her jump?"
"Jump?"
"Yea off the bridge into the river"
"Sorry ive bearly slept or eaten my minds fuzzy was she not performing last night?"
"Yea but we finished early and she drove back and thats when she mustve...."
"Its ok do tou know where the van is she left something important and i need it"
"Yea i have it"
"Can i come over to see"
"Of course you can (y/n) its yours now"
"Im 14 so i dont know what good that ill be"
She laughs a bit and she could hear the pity in caspers voice
"Ill see you soon"
He hung up anf she instantly stood up she knew she couldn't go out the front way so she closer her eyes and played back her walking into the complex and realised that there was a window on every side but there wasnt one in her room she looked confused and opened her door .looking around ,her room stuck out and looked newer than the others it was a conversion she stepped out of her room and looked at the creaking floorboards she had to figure a way out there was small matteess with flies buzzing around it placed on the other side of the corridor it was a big jump was it worth the risk? She thought to herself it mustve been one of the other childrens beds she saw them in the living room waiting hand and foot on miss lorelle she looked at them with pity, and knew the only way to help them was to escape so she took the risk and got a running start from her room......
