I get my room and walk up with Cameron. We decide to get to know each other.

"Do you wanna go first?" I say.

"Uh sure." He sits down on the couch and I sit on the floor in front of him.
"Okay so I'm Cameron Alexander Dallas and I'm 21 years old. I'm from California. I've got a beautiful mother named Gina and an amazing sister named Sierra. I don't really hear from my dad so yeah. Uh when I was younger I used to get bullied. One day I defended myself and they stopped picking on me and went onto other people. I wanted to help those people so I did. I made a few friends who I never grew apart from on that journey I took. From then on I wanted to do a whole heap of things to help people like those boys and me. So when high school finished I joined the army force. It wasn't the best idea I've had but at least I could protect the people I lived and more. That was the important thing. I came back from there a few months ago and it felt so good to be home. And now that brings me here with you." He says waving his hands around the room. I laugh.

"Wow that's some story."

"Yeah. Now let's hear yours." I nod and sit cross legged on the ground.

"My names Aaliyah Rose Highland and I'm 19. I used to have real parents and they were the best. We had so many good memories together but that all went away when I was 8. They died in a huge fire and that's when I moved in with my foster mom. She only took me in cause the place I stayed in was going to pay people to look after the children they got. It was an awful place. While I was with my foster mom she also got four other children. She was super rich by this point. I became best friends almost sisters with one of them, her names Milly and she's the most cutest thing. When I left last night I promised that I'd go back for her and she would stay with me forever. I never break promises I make and especially to her. I also took money from my foster mom so I could live a life so she's probably after me. And that brings me here in this room with you." I feel a tear fall down my cheek. I look up at Cameron who's got the saddest look on his face.

"It's amazing what you find out about a person. On the outside they seem fine but on the inside they could be hiding the deepest secrets of their life." I shrug and stand up. "Wait where are you going?"

"I'm going to get Milly. I can't leave her there anymore. She made that place a living hell for me and because I'm not there anymore she'll start on someone else. I'm not letting that happen to Milly Cameron." I grab my phone and walk out the door followed by Cameron.
