You are safe with us

Chapter one

Jade's pov*
"Come on jade we are already behind we were supposed to be at your new home an hour ago" shouted my case worker his name was Nick and honestly he was pretty annoying. I don't know why they keep trying to put me in homes they should have just let me stay in the group home until I was old enough to be on my own but it's whatever.
"Finally let's hope they aren't to upset with us for being late" said Nick as I put my trash bag of clothes in the trunk of the car before hoping in the back seat. I'm not really expecting much with this new home because it'll be the same they'll hit me or they will send me back because I'm to much to deal with. I know better now than to get my hopes up. I wasn't given much information on my foster parents all I know is that they are a lesbian couple which doesn't bother me one bit. I'm surprised they are letting me stay with a same sex couple because these people are freakishly religious that make it seem like a cult to be honest like at the group home we had to read the Bible for thirty minutes everyday and we were supposed to pray a lot. Some things are a bit extreme religion shouldn't be forced upon someone because your beliefs don't match up with someone else's to each they're own. I'm just afraid about what would happen if they found out that I don't talk much I have a habit of stuttering a little bit It would make my old foster parents mad.
"Hey Dumbass we are here" shouted nick causing me to flinch at the volume of his voice.
"Hello ladies sorry that we are late this one was taking her sweet time packing but I'm just going to check the house and then leave" said nick after they opened the door. One woman had blonde hair with blue eyes instantly reminding me of the ocean at the beach relaxing. She was a little shorter than the other woman who had brunette hair and brown eyes.
"Hi bambina I'm Carina and this is my wife Maya" said Carina as she bent down to my level and I was a little confused about her accent.
"Everything looks okay so I'm gonna leave I'll be back in a month to make sure everything is going well" said nick as he left leaving me alone with carina and Maya.
"Do you want to see your room or do you want to do something else" asked Maya gently instantly making me nervous because I'm supposed to answer her question. I'm not sure what they were told about me and I don't want to make them mad because I won't speak.
"Oh hold up" said Maya as she ran out of the room making me a little confused on what was so important that made her nearly run out of the room like it was on fire or something.
"Don't worry she does that a lot sometimes makes her a little weird but I love her none the less" laughed Carina when Maya came back into the room with a white board and some markers that were different colors.
"We were informed that you don't really speak much which is fine with us so we thought this would be easier for you to be able to communicate with us if you need something" explained Maya as she handed me the board and the markers.

Carina's pov*
"We won't ever force you to speak to us bambina this is all at your pace" I explained as I noticed she kept staring at the board when she started writing something down.
"Thank you" she wrote and she had really pretty hand writing for her age.
"No need to thank us bambina now is there anything you want to do right now" I asked letting her have the control to do what she wants.
"What are the rules" wrote Jade looking at us nervously.
"Well there isn't really much no hitting obviously and no screaming at us obviously but if you want to scream because things are to much let us know we can take you to Maya's work and you can scream as loud as you want and nobody can hear you and no throwing things Maya doesn't do well with people throwing things and it's okay to feel whatever it is you are feeling no matter if you are angry or sad we will respect your feelings and take them into consideration and we won't force you to do anything that you don't want to do if you want to not do something that's perfectly okay we won't force you to continue even if you are tired" I explained wanting her to know that no matter what she would be in control of any situation if it would make her feel more safe.
"What about punishment" wrote jade as she took in all the information I was giving her but she looked a skeptical about everything which is understandable for what she's been through I mean we don't know much her file gave us little to no information at all which is a red flag we will come back to that when it's necessary though.
"We will never lay a hand on you if that's what you are thinking I don't tolerate hitting kids as punishment or anything" explained Maya who looked far away for my liking but I'll deal with that later.
"She's right bambina we will talk about punishments later okay sweetie now do you want to see your room" i asked.
"Yes please" wrote jade with a small smile on her face.  She was pretty small for her age like weight wise and had blue eyes and had brunette hair. She had a couple teeth missing but I'm sure it was because they were baby teeth.
"Come on then little one" said Maya as she lead Jade to her room.
"Alrighty here's your room we can decorate it however you want which is why it's not painted yet" explained Maya as she opened the door and we let Jade walk into her room by herself.
