Not nearly over

I've lost all my friends, I didn't speak to them and I don't want them to worry about me. I've also matured a lot because of what's happening to me while they are normal, I don't fit in anymore. I come to school with bruises and sores all over me, the teachers worry but I told them I do a sport that I fall over in a lot so they don't worry anymore. I also go to the hospital quite a lot. We've managed to stay at one foster house for a while now, but they're just as bad as the last few. Paige is in the same place I am, she's lost her friends for the same reason as me and gets badly hurt except her teachers never even noticed. I still refuse to speak, there's honestly just no point. I'm i year 4 now and Paige is 17. One more year and were both safe but until then we live in constant fear. I have more of an understanding of what's happened to me but I've completely shut myself down in school and out but I study a lot at hospital so I'm above average grades. Same as Paige, she also calls me "street smart" I think it's because of what we've been through. Paige hasn't stopped hurting herself, in fact it's gotten a lot worse. I'm scared she's going to to too far one day. Since I don't go out much, or at all and Paige won't teach me about that stuff I still have no clue why she does it or anything about that. But I'm scared. Tonight she wrote this in her book:

**********

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and fall down

**********

Why don't any of these ever make sense to me?

I love her.
