Remember Me When I'm Gone

The new boy| part 1

Its already 10pm and I cant get to sleep. The beds are like crap in this place. I have to share rooms with 3 other girls in one medium sized room. We all got a single bed (the ones you saw in the hospitals in the older times) and a white desk with a stool and a really, really small wardrobe. I can barley fit 5 pairs of outfits inside it.
In just 2 weeks its gonna be my first year in this orphanage. People come and go but usually its the much younger children that get adopted. I'm 13 years old. I have cold, dark blue eyes and a tanned light brown skin with long brown waist length hair.
My only friend is Caitlyn, we had a connection since day one. Her parents past away the same way as mine; in a car crash. She has blonde pixi hair cut with green sparkling eyes and pale skin.
The boys and girls are separated in the building. The girls are on the left side and boys on the right side. We have basic classes for the day from 9am till 1pm.
As im laying in bed I can hear crying from below. I get up from bed and sneak down the stairs were I can hear sister Jane (she ain't my sister shes a nun) talking to a police man and is holding a boy under her arm and signing a paper just like the one when I was bought here the first time.
The boy looks my age. He has real bad bruises on his whole body I wonder how he got them. The boy looked really frightened and he had tear stained cheeks. I snuck down some more so I can fully inspect what is going on. As Jane is speaking to the officer the boy spots me but before he could say anything I quickly put my finger to my mouth showing him to be quite. He noddes and gives me a confused look. I just looked in his eyes and smiled at him then continued to tip toe in the kitchen and pretend like im drinking some water "oh my god!! What are you doing here Cara? Its past your bed time" "chill, I only came to get some water." she nods her head "well this is Justin and he will be staying here for a while but first prepare some food for the boy hes starving. I'll get the first aid kit and be right back" she hurried out do I took my chance to speak to him. "Hey Justin" I greeted him with a small smile "h-hi C-Cara" poor boy Is shuttering he needs serious help "so what food would you like to have?" "A-anything will d-do" "okey so I'll do do my favourite of the night. Its warm milk, digestive biscuits and toast with butter and jam how dose that sound?" "Really good" I pour milk in a glass and put it inside the microwave while I put toast bread in the toaster "how old are you?" I asked curiously while putting the biscuits in front of him " fourteen, a-and you?" "Thirteen. So how come you're here?" I got the milk and toast out and put it in from of him "I-I dont want to talk a-about it" he said with a broken fragile voice as he began eating "its okey I understand" I give him a small smile "w-what are the chances of me g-getting out of here" he looked up at me from his plate with the cutest honey brown eyes I ever witnessed.
I don't know what I should tell him, I cant get his hopes up but I also cant tell him that he's going to be here until he is eighteen and then he gets thrown out on the streets "I-I don't know" I said trying to look anywhere but him
"Justin get eating and then let me fix you up. Cara your done now so go back to sleep" Mary said as she walked through the door. I just rolled my eyes at here and got up "your wish is my command" I said in a sarcastic tone but before she had a chance to speak up I already passed through the door and headed up.

Next morning I woke up and quickly gotten a shower before the girls were awake so that left me with more time to get ready. Its Saturday so that meant no classes. I decided that today would be a lazy day for me so I put on a pair of black leggings and a white tank top With a black zip up hoody. Our shoes are all down stairs because a crazy rule is 'no shoes are to be worn in our room' I put my hair in a ponytail and went down.
I sat on the couch and just looked out the windows. "Hey do you mind if I sit with you. I don't really know anyone besides you" I looked up and seen Justin standing over me I smiled at him "no of course not. Sit down at least I'm not alone as always" he sat down and we kept out eyes at one another.
"Well, well, well who have we got hear ms. Slutty Cara and her fuckboy huh" I didn't even need to look and I already knew who that bitchy voice belongs to. "Francesca what a surprise, I thought you might have died already from all the crap you speak" I innocently smiled at her. I looked at Justin and immediately hated getting in a argument with this slag cause Justin look freaked out "who's this with you" she darted towards Justin "Just a friend, something you dont have" I pointed out to her before getting up and walking past her. I looked at Justin for a sec and he seemed to be really scared "hey Justin wanna come?"
"Y-yes" my heart broke when I herd him shatter again.
I walked up to my room and pulled my curtains that divided the room In four quarters. I sat on my bed and so did he. "Why was that girl s-so mean to y-you" he asked looking at my two walls "I guess that's what people are like. Like life ain't a fairytale people are gunna be mean and rough to you. I saw the look on your face when she was having a go at me . Are you easily scared of people" I scooted closed to him so our shoulders were touching
"Its to do w-with why I'm h-here. I'm not n-normal no one cares about me I guess l-life was not m-made for e-everyone" he whispers the last part. It literally tore my hear apart with those words, I know where he's coming from I been there a lot until I changed and became a girl who just doesn't give a fuck. "Hey don't say that, just because you're having a bad day doesn't mean your whole life is going to be bad" I honestly didn't know what else to say. "If I- it's just a bad d-day then why didn't I have at least one day without s-sadness, all my l-life I felt n-nothing but h-hurt"
" I believe everything happens for a reason, the day you give up on yourself is the day others will too. If you believe in God then look at life as a challenge you need to pass" I looked in his eyes but before he could reply I took out one of my favourite books 'all alone by Holly Web' and handed it to him. He looked at me confused at first before I spoke. "Read this book when you're feeling alone or sad or just simply want to escape reality, its really good I'm sure you'll enjoy it and reading also helps with shuttering"
He gave me a genuine smile and nodded "t-thank you for being so nice to me C-Cara"
