BETHANY POV
It's been 2 weeks sense my mom left, and there is nothing to do. Joseph has been going out with Beth a lot lately, it's probably been 2 weeks since I've talked to him. The dance is in one week. Maybe Joseph would take me shopping.
"JOSEPH!!"
"What is it Bethany?"
"Can you take me shopping?"
"Ok but be ready in 5 minutes."
"Ok!"
I walked over to my closet and picked out an outfit. I chose my Poop Attack tee shirt, my black jean shorts, my black beanie, and my high tops. I ran down stairs and saw Joseph sitting on the sofa in his Minecraft tee, his jeans, and his black converse.
"Ready to go?" He asked.
"Let's go!"

*time lapse*

After about looking around 15 different stores I think I finally found one. It was a dress with a peach color on top, with a black skirt with pink and white flowers on it. I went into the fitting room and tried it on. It fit perfectly. I walked out to show Joseph. When I showed him he stood in shock.
"Y-you look beautiful!"
"Oh shut up!"
"No I mean it Bethany, you look amazing."
"You really think so?"
"Yes I do!"
We paid for the dress and left the store. When we were walking to the car Joseph got a phone call.
"Hello...yes this is Joseph Garrett.........oh....tomorrow..........ok thank you bye."
"Who called you Joseph?"
"No one." he said fake smiling. I shrugged and walked to the car. I wondered who called Joseph so I asked again.
"Who called you Joseph?"
"You will find out tomorrow."
"What's going to happen tomorrow, Joseph please answer me?!?"
"Ok then let's start at the beginning,"he took a deep breath and spoke up "Bethany you were put up for adoption when you were born."
"What?!?!?"
"I'm not done ye-"
"Stop the car, stop the car!"
"No Bethany you are not going anywhere!"
"Joseph stop the fucking car right now!"
He pulled over to the side of the rode. I swung the door open, and ran as fast as I could. I didn't know where I was going, but not home.

*time lapse*

I was running down the street when I ran into someone.
"Oh, I'm so sorry! Are you ok?" I looked up and saw Squid, he looked down at me.
"Bethany what are you doing out here this late?"
"Running....."
"It's 7:00 at night and your running."
"I-I guess so..."
"Why don't you come to my place?"
"O-ok sure why not."
Squid is always there for me if I need help. He cares.

*time lapse*

I ran into Squids house and plopped myself on the sofa.

SQUIDS POV
Why was Bethany running? Was she running away from home? I know her mother abuses her, maybe that's why she was running away? I went into the living room to talk to her.
"Bethany why were you running?"
A few tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Bethany what's wrong, you can tell me."
"My brother just told me I was put up adoption when I was born."
I pulled her into a hug. Then I got up and ran to my room to call Stampy.

STAMPY POV
More tears rolled down my cheeks. Where is Bethany? Why did I tell her? I wasn't supposed to tell her till tomorrow. I felt my phone buzz in my pocket, and I immediately answered. I looked at the screen hoping it would be Bethany, nope just a slippery squid.
"Hey Squid."
"Hey Stamps what's up?"
"Bethany ran away."
"Do you know where she is?"
"No."
"Well maybe you should check the sofa in my living room."
I hung up the phone, and drove to Squids house.

*time lapse*

BETHANY POV
I heard a knock at the door.
"Squid someone's at the door!" I screamed.
"Ok I'll be right down!"
He ran down the stairs to the door and opened it. It was Joseph. I ran up to him and hugged him.
"I'm sorry I ran."
"It's ok as long as your safe."
We left Squids house. I ran to Joseph's car and plopped myself in the front seat.

*time lapse*

When we got home I ran up stairs and plopped on my bed. Joseph came into my room and placed his hand on my lap.
"Bethany, mom wants you to move to a foster home. We are going to look at one tomorrow." Tears were rolling down my cheeks.
"Do I have to move?"
"Well mom is supposed to make the decision, but she's not here so I guess we have to.." And with that he left the room. I laid on my bed that night thinking about living in a foster home. I would probably get bullied even more, or not fed. Just thinking about it made me shiver.

*time lapse*

We arrived at the foster home. It almost looked like an apartment building, for how tall it was. "Whoa." I muttered under my breath. I got out of the car and so did Joseph. I ran up to him and held his hand. I probably looked like a 4 year old holding there moms hand but I didn't care. No way was I moving to this place. We walked inside and an old lady greeted us at the door.
"Hello you must be Bethany!"
"Yes and this is my brother, Joseph."
"Oh it's so nice to meet you! Why don't you come in." We walked in side, and if I had to describe it in one word it would be scary. The place looked like a haunted house. There were a lot of kids here, some of them recognized my brother. The kids looked under fed. Some were skinny to the bone. I was definitely not going to move here.

*time lapse*

We finally left that horrible place. In the drive home I asked Joseph
"Do I have to move there?"
"No way! That place was awful, you are not moving there."
"Good!" I said laughing. I plugged in my earbuds, and listened to music the whole way home.
