Alex's Pov

I woke up to somebody shaking me really hard.

"Alex get up!" This was my mom's voice, least it wasn't my dad's he's so much worse if I don't get up.

"Do I have to?" I mumbled still half asleep.

"Yes. You need to get up and pack your bags, we're taking you somewhere."

I didn't want to go anywhere I just said 'okay' then my mom left my room. I dosed off again just for a few more minutes to sleep some more. I knew it was a bad idea because...

"DID YOU NOT LISTEN TO WHAT YOUR MOM JUST SAID GET THE FUCK UP, YOU LAZY BITCH!" With that my dad walked towards me grabbed my hair into a ball of fist with one hand and his other hand getting ready to punch me in the face.

I was waiting for the hit, but it never came, I i opened my eyes to see what he was doing. I regret opening them now. Wanna know why? He pulled off his belt on his jeans, turned me around.

"TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRT!" I didn't listen I was to scared go do anything.

I was going to take it off. But he beat me to it, he literally ripped it off me, doesn't care if it hurt me at all. But I was afraid what was going to happen next.

"YOUR GETTING 20 LASHES ON YOUR BACK SINCE YOU DIDNT LISTEN TO YOUR MOM!" He was still shouting at me. I was in beyond in tears now, I didn't want this to happen not again.

"COUNT THEM, AND IF I HEAR YOU SAY ANYTHING ELSE YOUR GETTING MORE UNDERSTOOD?!" I didn't answer I was trying to hold back the tears.

His grip on my hair tightened. "I SAID DO YOU UNDERSTAND!"

"Y..y..yes I d..d..do." I was stuttering because I was in pain, but in the next few minutes I know it'll be worse than this.

He rose his right hand and whipped my back.

"1, I'm sorry I was bad, can you give me another one." This is what I had to asy each time after every whip on my back.

"2, I'm sorry I was bad, can you give me another one."

"5, im sorry I was bad, can you give me another one."

"10, im sorry I was bad, can you give me another one."

I was in full tears, I had to bite my bottom lip from screaming. I must of been biting down on my lip quite hard, because I taste blood.

"15, I'm sorry I was bad, can you give me another one." I was starting to see stars in my vision.

"19, im sorry I was bad, can you give me another one."

"20. Thank you for my punishment dad." I was in so much pain it hurt when I tried to move.

"Good girl. Next time I'll do so much more to you." With that he kissed my forehead, and walked out the room.

I decided to go and get ready, shower, brush my teeth, comb my hair, put my clothes on. Putting my clothes on was really hard it killed me just trying to move my arms so they were above my head, pulling down my shirt.

10 minutes later i finally got dressed. I packed my suitcase with all my clothes and photo's, and met my parents down stairs.

"Where are we going?" I dreaded asking because normally when I do, I get a slap across the face. But this time I didn't.

"Somewhere, you'll love it trust me Alex because you will." My mom said in a sweet tone, which is very rare.she never does unless she wants something.

"Okay." I didn't want to say anything else so I stayed quiet.

20 minutes later we arrived outside this large building. It looked quite nice from the outside, but the inside I was scared to see what was threw there. We walked up the steps towards it and my mom gave me a note.

"Stay here sweetie, we'll come back for you soon." Her and my dad both kissed my forehead, and walked away after they tend the doorbell.

"Wait where are you going?" I was in tears, yes I may only be 11 years old but I love my parents, even though they hurt me all the time.

"We're just going somewhere, we'll be back for you soon, don't forget to hand the note to the lady who answers the door." With that they were gone. They just left me, standing there in the freezing cold till someone came to the door.

This young looking lady came to the door and gave me a sweet smile, I returned it just to be friendly. I gave her the note and she took it.

She read threw it and then turned to me.

"Hello Alex, I'll take you up to your room."

We walked up some stairs, this place was at least 2 or 3 floors high. We got to the room where ill be staying for now till my parents got back, well as I thought they would.

"Just unpack all of your things then, you can come down and have some lunch. With that she was off.

I unpacked all my things and walked slowly down the stairs. I was greeted by the lady who brought me to my room. She showed me around the whole place. We went to th e living room to were some other girls are looking around my age, and a couple who look only 4 or 5.

Some came up to me and greeted me while some just carried on what they were doing.

A little girl only looking about 4 years old. She came up to me and put her arms up. I looked at the lady confused.

"She wants to be picked up, she wants to see you."

I picked up the little girl and she on there arm around my neck and her legs round my waist, I winced slightly from my back before I came here. I looked into her eyes, she had a crystal colour of blue in them.

"What's your name sweetie?" I asked so nicely since she was only little.

"Olivia" she spoke, but she was shy she buried her head into the crook of my neck.

I looked at the lady, who was smiling away at me and Olivia.

"She likes you already. Usually she takes ages to like people who come here."

"What do you mean who come here, where do they go?" I spoke with confusion written in my voice.

"Well, there are lots of other girls who stay here, but some go with other people who come to this place. Do you not know where you are child?

I shook my head.

"Alex your in an orphanage, your parents put you up for adoption."

As she spoke this, I was in tears. Olivia who was still on me hugged me tight to comfort me. I hugged her back just as much.

"Alex can we go to your room please." Olivia spoke into my neck and looked up at me to see my answer.

I just nodded my head, and walked up to my room, I put Olivia on my bed and I did too. I pulled her close to me, to make sure she was safe. After a while I heard her soft snores telling me she fell asleep. I brought the blanket over us and let sleep take over my body.
