Left behind

Down hill

I remember being crowded by lots of strangers I've never met. Everyone was asking me questions and not leaving me alone to think just for a second.

"Whats your name?" "where is your family?" "How old are you?" Asked the people surrounding me.
"My name is Sidney Martin, im 12 years old." I said
"Do you know where your parents are?" Asked the store manager. "N-no they left me. I saw their car leave" i said shaking in fear.
"they left you? What do you mean they left you? On purpose or accident??" He asked worried.
"I don't know. I guess on accident? I think. I saw their car leave fast" i said.

"No that cant be on accident. What kind of parents do this?? They have no heart. This is unbelievable. I can't believe This" a customer in the store rages.
"I dont think my parents left me on purpose i mean come on, what kind of parents do that? They love me very much. They wouldn't." I thought to my self.
"Yes, she is just sitting here she said her parents left her -Yes m'am." I hear the store manager say on the phone with the police."
I remember sitting on the cold floor in the gas station for about 1 hour just thinking about what was gonna happen next.
The police arrive 30 minutes after the call and try to talk to me and see what happened exactly.
"Im officers Michel and I'm gonna help you okay? All i need you to do is answer some questions for me is that alright ?" "Yes" i said nodding my head.
"Ok great! Whats your name sweetie?" Officer asked.
"my name is sidney martin sir" I answered.
"Do you know where your parents went? Do you guys have an argument before you came here?"
"No sir, my parents picked me up from school and came her and they left without me. They will be back right?" I asked holding in my tears. My throat hurt so bad because i was holding them in. I should've let them out but i was to afraid to do anything.
"Yes hopefully will get a hold of them! Do You have any family here? Any aunts or uncles?" Officer michel asked. "No I don't. most of my family live in Florida." I said.
"Okay that fine! Thank you for answering all my questions." He said walking away writing down my answers on his paper. I remember the police driving me to this really big house that lost of kids stay when they dont have family or parents. They are called orphans.
"You are gonna stay her until we get a hold of one of your family members okay? They have lots of kids here your age. Get to know them make friends!" Oh-okay.. Please hurry sir i just wanna go home!" I said pouring tears out from my eyes.
"Calm down honey ill see what we can do. Have a good day" the officer said. I turned around walking to the doors. I took a deep breath before knocking. "Here we go" i mummered to my self. The rest of the day was basically a blur to me. I didn't want to know what was gonna happen to. I didn't want to know anything i just wanted to go home.
