* Valerie's P.O.V*

I woke up to the daylight sun peaking its way through the window. I barely had any sleep, with me waking up every second in sadness. I had several nightmares, of the men.

The men who invaded my home and took the lives of my parents. Why was I so stupid? Why did I run for myself and not help them? " We'll be okay sweetheart run!" They said.

They're in coffins now, thanks to my stupidity. I will never be able to live with myself, knowing its my fault my parents aren't breathing anymore. I will feel guilty forever.

I have no where to go. I can't stay in a hotel for the rest of my life. I can't live like this. I'm a 18 year old girl, I'm supposed to be having fun living my life, finding a job, applying for Universities.

This is the age I've always wanted to be, I always wanted to be independent and now I am. And I don't like one bit of it. I was thinking of how miserable my life was when my phone made a beeping noise.

I jumped up in shock and confusion only my parents called me of texted me. Who else had my number?

Scared to read the text I tapped the iMessage icon and waited. '

Meet me at 430 Lamonde Drive at 11:00am. ~ Jane, Social Services Agent xxxx'

First of all how did she get my number? Second why does she want me? I checked the time and realized I only had 30 minutes to get ready.

I slipped out of bed and rushed to bathroom and got myself fixed up.

As I stepped out of my hot shower and wrapped myself in a towel I looked at the reflection in the mirror.

Horror over took me. I hated how I looked, just everything about me was wrong. I wasn't a people person, I had no social life, no one liked me and the only people I had in my life that I loved are gone now.

Soon my sadness turned into anger. This is normal, it's part of my routine now. I studied every aspect on my face. I never liked anything about my face. I mean some people had few flaws, but me? No. It was like I was the flaw magnet. No wonder I had no friends.

I slipped on the last piece of clothing of my outfit. I didn't even pack my clothing, some women I don't even know did it for me. Weird. I grabbed my phone and purse and gave my reflection on last glance. Leaving unsatisfied and angry I left my suit.

It took me about 3 minutes to figure out how to lock the door. I looked back at my phone it was 10:50 crap! I ran across the hall towards the elevator pressing the down button repeatedly.

I just wanted to leave, leave everything, I don't have much to leave anyways. I just want to leave this world, I hate everything and everybody. Just as I was about to insult myself the elevator doors opened and I walked myself in.

Pressing the lobby button I hummed away with the elevator song that was playing. " A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri was playing. I loved that song. I always used to sing myself to sleep thinking maybe one day I could have that song played in my wedding.

I needed to stop dreaming and come back to reality. The elevator stopped signalling me to leave. I exited the elevator not caring about my surroundings when I bumped into someone.

I wasn't even in the mood for talking so I just mumbled a few apologetic words and walked away.

Surprisingly I knew exactly where 430 Lamonde Drive since it was right in front of the hotel.

I stepped into the coffee shop shockingly right on time. I looked around searching someone who could be signalling at me. I turned around facing a beautiful brunette who's eyes were hazel brown. Everything in her face defined her, she seemed so heartwarming and lovely. I was studying her when I realized I probably looked like a creep.
