My Life Torn Apart.

When You Were Here..

Hi I'm Kaitlin! I'm 5 years old and I have brown curly hair with light blue eyes. My brother is 12 and he has brown hair and brown eyes. I love him so much! His name is Drake! I have a mum and a dad. I look like my mum but Drake looks like our dad. We were in the car on our way to the park. We are a happy family. My mum is always smiling and so is my dad. They never yell or get mad. My brother annoys me sometimes but loves me to death! I love him more though. He's like my hero. I look up to him. We are driving and singing. I don't really know the words though.. The next thing I knew somebody else's car went right into the side of ours. Then I fell asleep. I woke up in a bed. My brother walked up to the side of my bed. He told me that mum and dad were gone. I asked where they went and he said they died. The doctor told us that we would be put in foster care tomorrow. "Drake, what's foster care?" He sighed and told me to get some rest.

Later that night I felt someone caring me. I opened my eyes and Drake was carrying me. We were outside. "Drake, where are we going?" He looked at me and smiled. He kissed my head then hid behind a dumpster. "We are running away." "I'm scared! Where's mum?" He started crying a little. I wiped his tears away. "Don't cry Drake, please!" He stopped and hushed me. "Drake please can we go back!" I kept asking and asking. He go angry and yelled at me to be quiet! I started crying. Why is he mad at me? Two men came over and asked us if we were ok. Drake told them everything and they invited us to live with them. Drake carried me to there car. They took us to there house. It was cool there.

• ONE MONTH LATER •

My room is finally done! Yay! I have pink walls and a princess bed! Drakes room is done too. I'm so tired. These men are so nice. They are married. I didn't know boys married each other! That's cool. I walked into Drake's room. "Are you going to marry a boy?" He turned around fast, ran over and shut the door. "Kaitlin! No! They are gay. Don't ever say stuff about two boys or two girls. Not that it's wrong but you might hurt their feelings!" I started to cry. Why did he yell at me? "I didn't mean to hurt their feelings.." He picked me up and carried me to his bed. He held me in his arms and shushed me. "It's ok Kaitlin." Later that night we had dinner at 5 and Ben one of the men said he was going to take Drake out for some boy bonding. Erick the other one said I'd stay with him and we'd have fun playing with my toys. This went out until 10. Drake walked through the door. I ran into his arms. He asked if I was tired? I just nodded my head! He chuckled and carried me up to bed. He tucked me into bed and kissed my head. "Drake are mummy and daddy ever coming back?" He sighed but soon answered, "No. I'm sorry. This is our new family. I love you Kattie." He always calls me that. It makes me laugh. "Ok. I love you too bubby." I always call him bubby. Only because brother sounds weird. He laughs and hugs me tightly. He sits in my room and tells me so many different happy stories. "Bubby why is there a scratch on your arm?" He looked away. "No reason. Now let me finish telling you about Spider-Man." I sighed and he soon continued. I tried so hard to stay awake. I loved listening to his stories about superheroes. It was my favorite time of the day. He always seemed so happy. I made fun of him one time and he tickled me to death. He's always been there for me. I love him so much! He went on and on. Before we knew it it was midnight. He laid in bed by me. Hoping that would help me. He soon feel asleep. I hugged him. Honestly this is the only way I've been able to sleep. I get scared without him. He's my brother I need him.

The next day after dinner when he got home he gave me a teddy bear with a big K sewed on the left foot. I jumped up and down. He picked me up and brought me upstairs. He laid me down but this time he laid by me and I was almost asleep when I noticed a cut on his cheek. "Bubby where'd that come from?" I pointed to his cheek and he said oh nothing and wrapped his arms around me. I fell asleep wishing mum and dad were here.
