Left Behind

Chapter 6

Sam's P.O.V.

"Welcome Sam!" An old lady sort of yells. "How are you?" She asks. "Uh fine I-I guess." I whisper. I'm not really a social person, I normally just keep to myself and don't contact with people. The officer walks over to me and hands me my phone before grasping my shoulders and squeezing them. "Th-thank you." I whisper to him as he hugs me. He nods and then walks out of the door.

"Well Alexa will you show Sam her room?" The lady asks some girl watching t.v. "Uhh! Why can't Xavier show her?" Alexa yells. "I told you too!" The lady yells in a very scary tone and Alexa nods and jumps up and pulls me up the stairs. I'm kind of scared of that lady now. Once we reach the top of the stairs Alexa unlocks one of the doors at the end of the long hall. I don't know why but the locks are on the outside of all of the doors. She unlocks it and pulls me in, closes it, and puts her back against the door. "God!" She yells. "I-is she always l-like that?" I ask. "Yes, you just don't want to get on her bad side. If you think that's bad, you're in for a treat. I swear she's like Satan himself." I just sigh. Great this is the last thing I need in my life. More stress! "Yeah and I wouldn't really get involved with some of the others because they are very... Uh how do you put it? Um they're all b**ches." "Great." I sigh. "So is this my room? Like to myself?" I say while pointing to the ugly grey colors on the walls which are bricks. "No actually, you're going to be sharing with Christina and I." "Oh, is Christina a-" she cuts me off and says, "Bitch?" I nod my head and she laughs, "yeah, I was a little excited to hear another girl was coming and staying with us. I can't stand being in a room alone with Christina at night! She just torchers me and uhh!" "Are you guys not aloud out of your rooms at night?" I say pointing to the door handle. "Actually we have to be in our rooms at 10:00 p.m. and Miss. Kraine locks all of our doors and our windows have bars on them." She sighs. "Why?" She looks around the room and starts to say, "I d-" and she got cut off by the lady with a name now. Miss. Kraine slamming the door open. "I said show her the room now come downstairs dinner is ready and Sam you have a phone call." Alexa and I hurry down the stairs, she goes to I'm assuming the dining room and I go to the phone. Who could be calling me? "H-hello?" I ask. "Is this Sam?" "Uh... Yeah? Who is this?" I question hearing a male voice. "My name is Michael..." He pauses. "Okay? Who are you Michael? And how do you know my name?" "Oh, yeah. You know Skyler right? Well I'm her boyfriend. She's told us lots about you." I sigh. "Okay? And what do you need?" I ask in a very b**chy tone. "Right well I just wanted to tell you that me and my good friends are not going to let you stay in a foster home. It would mean the world to Skyler if you got out of there and here as soon as possible." "I can't, I can't get a flight for a month." I state. "Yes well, my friends and I are going to make some arrangements to get you out of there in about a week or two. Would that be cool?" "Umm... How are you even going to get here how do you even know where I'm at?" There was a short pause and he finally said, "Sky has like non-stop talked about you since we got a call from the hospital and she is really scared for you, we all are." "Sam! We have rules around here and no more than 10 minutes is allowed on the phone!" I hear Miss. Kraine yell to me. "Who was that?" Michael asks. "So she's apparently my 'foster mom' I don't even know, but I have to go." "Uh okay could you call me later at least?" "Yeah, I guess so but I'll call you on my cell so I don't have limited time." "Alright well see ya Sam." "Bye." I then hang up and head to the dining room to see tons of food.

"Sam eat up." Miss. K says. "No thank you I'm not hungry at the moment." Looking around the table everyone is looking at me. I give a confused look to Alexa and she nods her head to my food. "Maybe we can all tell Sam our rules around here. Anyone have a rule Sam should know?" She looks around the room and everyone just puts their heads down. "Very well then. Everyone go to your rooms!" She demands. I get up to go follow Alexa and get cut off by someone grabbing my wrist. "Not so fast Sam." I hear the old hag say and her grip tightens as I try to pull away. "Let go of me!" I yell and everyone looks at me like I just slapped her or something. "You do not speak to your mother like that!" She yells. "You-you are not my mother and never will be!" I yell ripping my arm out of her grip. "Knowing that you're mummy and daddy are dead I'm all you have child! You are living under my roof and you will give me respect!" She demands. There was a long pause and everyone is still just standing there and I have my fists balled up trying to calm myself down. You only have a week here Sam. Don't get into trouble! "What are you all looking at?!" Miss. K screams. Some girl just laughs under her breath as everyone begins to walk out of the room. "You think this is funny Christina?" She yells to the girl that laughed. "Kinda. This girl thinks just because she's new that everyone will like her and that she can talk however the hell she wants." She bursts out into laughter. "Very well. Go to the quiet room Christina." Her face drops as the laughs choke up into her throat. Everyone just looks horrified. "M-miss. K, I was just joking." Christina barely chokes out. "No jokes in my house! Now go!"
