Elizabeth P.O.V.

"Michael, where's mommy and daddy?" I asked my Older brother Michael for the second time.

"Give them a minute Eliza," he called me by my nickname that I loved.

"But Michael, it's been 2 hours. How long do they need in the backyard with uncle Jack?" I had wanted to go and play on my monkey gym. Mommy had looked so sad when uncle Jack came. Uncle Jack had given me a lollipop and said they would be done soon.

"I'm gonna go check Mikey. Are you coming?" I had said. I didn't know this would be the worse mistake ever.

"Okay Eliza but just to see what is going on."

We started walking but when we opened the curtain all I saw was my mommy scream and Uncle Jack shoot her.

"Noooo!" Me and Michael screamed at the same time.
Before I could stop Mikey he opened the door and ran to uncle Jack.

Daddy was already on the ground trying to wake my mom up when I ran to her.

"Blame this on your parents Elizabeth!" Uncle Jack continued "They should know by now to pay me when I say to pay me."

Jack escaped Michaels hold and shot my daddy too. They both lie there limp and pale.

"Nooo!! Please stop it. Daddy! Mommy! Wake up!! I need you. I want you! Make this all go away." I was screaming at the top of my lungs and now Michael was running off of anger and pain. He went to Jack before I could stop him.

But Jack stabbed him in the stomach. He fell to the ground with the stomach and before I knew it my body was dragging me over there without fear of Jack.

"NO POOL PLEASSSEEE HELP! Anyone! AHHH." Screaming louder than I ever had I looked at Jack he had no bad marks on him. He was smirking.

"This is how I am going to kill you Elizabeth: Keep you alive so you have to suffer the pain of having no one in your life. You will be in your adoption center without any family. Because the rest of your family is gone."

He then walked away like he hadn't just killed my family I loved so dearly. I looked down at my brother and I knew it wasn't good. He was pale but he was still moving.

"Eliza, you need to get to the police station and get someone. Quick before Jack gets you too." Mickey said this and right after he started coughing up blood.

"I can't leave you here to die Mikey. I wont!"

"Please Eliza, please.
I love you Minnie mouse."Mikey said.

"I love you too Mickey mouse."

That's what I wake up too because my bestfriend Kelly was shaking me telling me too get up. Not telling me more like yelling at me.

She stopped when she saw I got up.

"Eliza, you were having the nightmare again." Kelly said.

"I'm sorry I woke you but It just felt like Mikey was still here and he was telling me he loved me."

"I know Eliza. I still see my uncle sometimes."
Her uncle used to hit her and when she had those nightmares I helped her. I never understood child abuse.
It seemed useless to me. Although it happened to me It was never to scar me as much as seeing my beautiful parents covered in blood. As well as my brother.

"C'mon Eliza, let's go to bed. Miss Hattie says there is going to be a band to adopt a girl. They are special"Kelly told me this.
I look at the clock and it is 6:47 right now so I just get up anyway.
"As always as I say early bird gets the worm."

"Elizzzaaaaaaa, how many times do I have to tell you that when you say early bird gets the worm I say EWW who would want a worm?"

"Oh Kelly, I just like being early and besides those people are coming at 9 so I might as well get up then rather be late."

I didn't hear her response because she muffled it in to her pillow so I heard "jfjfkfhfb"

I got up and took a nice shower. I washed my hair with mango shampoo and coconut body wash.
I look Down at my wrists and I see the scars going away. I haven't cut in so long because my best guy friend Will told me that I could die and that I don't want to die, I want to relieve pain emotionally.

I got out of the shower and when I went in the room it was 7:23.
I chose a plain blue and teal shirt with some faded jeans. They aren't skinny sadly. I guess when I was sad about everything I am a stress eater and I gained weight that is hard to get off. I hate it. It adds to my many flaws that I have.

I woke up Kelly right after and told her it was eight o'clock and that they were coming soon. She reluctantly got up and made way to take a shower.

When she was in there I was writing in my journal. I refuse to call it a diary. No matter how many times Kelly says it's a diary I know it's a journal. Anyyywayyyysss.

Journal entry June 30

I just had that nightmare again. But this time it was worse. Kelly had to yell for me to wake up. It just felt so real and I couldn't control.

Today there are going to be people coming to see if they want to adopt a child. I know it isn't going to be Me. Who would want a fat 14 year old who has problems? All the girls here are skinny and perfect. Everyone wants them. None would even think about me. I have chosen to accept this but still I just wish I was different. Better than I was. I am making a fool of myself and my past family. I just hope they know I am trying. I really am. Kelly just got out of the shower and she says we should be first down to eat. But I don't want to eat. Kelly has the perfect body. She has her chest and her butt and a flat stomach. Maybe even some abs. Every guy here is in love with her. Hell, I would go les for her. She has the perfect Brown and black hair that is toned to a perfect color. It is shorter than her elbows but long enough for a pony tail. Enough about her perfectness.

I have to go now. I dread when people come because I know I am not being adopted unless they just want a slave and a rag doll to take anger out on.

----Eliza----

I shut the book and went out the door to see all the girls out of there rooms already. So was Kelly so I stood by her and waited.
