Staying or going?

Erzas POV:

Today i didn't wake up to an alarm or arguing, I woke up to silence. I didn't want to wake up, i didn't want to see how Liam was going to be with these foster parents. I just laid in bed for alittle, i didn't check the clock, i didn't even open my eyes, i just laid there in the silence.

After what felt like ages i opened my eyes and rolled over to see the time, 10:02... i had missed breakfast but oh well.
I got up and put on a patterned brown jumper and some oversized beige jeans and a brown beanie. I put in my Mp3 and went downstairs

Everyone had left the kitchen by now and was either in the living room, outside or in their rooms, i didn't know where Liam was but i knew if i saw him he would just fuss about me being lonely. I wish i didnt tell him now.

I walked into the kitchen where Tracy was washing up Again.

"You want any breakfast?" She asked but i just shook my head in response, i didnt want to eat, i felt sick if im honest.

"You will be okay if he goes, you were okay before" she said drying her hands and walking over to me

"But I thought..." i stuttered but stopped myself "Nothing"

"Erza its okay to be upset" She said placing her hands on my shoulders

"This isnt even normal. Siblings dont get split up" i said throwing my hands up in frustration

Tracy couldnt say much to that because she knew it was true, Siblings didnt get split up.

"Forget it" i said walking out the kitchen and going over to Mike who was setting up the Quite room for when Liams Potential foster parents show up.
He looks over at me and smiles sadly

"come here" he said opening his arms to me

I walk over and let him hug me as i feel tears developing in my eyes, "Why do we even get split up." i splutter

"You and Liam are a special case, A foster family ,unless very specific, cannot meet both of your needs" Mike explains "Your both very sensitive kids who need alot of individual attention that most foster families can't provide, we can as professionals but normal families cant" he said stroking my hair

I dont say anything, mostly because i dont know what to say but also because if i open my mouth i will start bawling.
Mike lets go of me and gives me another sad smile and walks past me.

I walk out the Quite room too and decide to go sit in my room but as i get to the top of the stairs Liam, surrounded by like 5 others, sees me and grabs my wrist and brings me to the toy cupboard.

"Sorry, didnt wanna talk feelings and that with them watching" he said closing the door and rubbing the back of his kneck "You oka-"

I cut him off "Liam stop asking me if im okay" i accidentally snap "Sorry, sorry" I immediately apologise

"Whats wrong?" He says worried while staring at me

"Nothing but ever since i told you about feeling lonely the only thing we talk about is feeling. Im over the gooey stuff Li" i say rolling my eyes
"You dont need to freak out ill tell you when somethings wrong" i explain as Liam stands there silently

"Your right, sorry...Your my little sister and it-" He starts explaining but the words wont come out his mouth

"I get it okay?" i look him up and down "I thought we agreed on an outfit? what is this" i say pointing at his clothes

"Hey!" he laughs "I'll find you right after they leave i promise" he says opening the cupboard door

He catches back up with the other kids but one stays behind, Sapphire.
