Jiley: why me?

Family?

Riley's PoV

I hop in the shower and have a quick wash. I get out and wrap a towel round myself. I blow dry my hair and put lose messy curls in it. I do my make up with a smoky eye and red lip. I go through my bags of clothes to see what I have to wear. I don't have that much fancy clothes to be honest but I'll find something. I finally match up a black crop top, white pencil skirt and simple black heals. I head over to my dresser pick up my sunglasses and put some of my Chanel perfume that Deborah bought me last week when we went shopping.

I head down stairs with my bags and set them at the front door and everyone stares at me from the front room. I head in and take a seat next to Haley. Haley is 9 and I've been like a big sister to her since she got here 4 years ago. I love her, she's like the only real thing I have to a sister and I'm not letting that go. When I was out with Deborah I bought Haley and I matching necklaces. It's a gold necklace with a small heart on it. I grab Hayley's hand and take her into the kitchen where no one is about. I give her a hug.
"I'm gonna miss you"
"Don't worry I'll come and visit you, I'm not going to forget about you" I say
"But you'll have a new family and it'll be like I never existed" she says a few tears slip down her cheek. I wipe them away.
"No it won't, Haley your the closest thing I have to a sister and I'm not letting that go"
"I love you Riley" she says hugging me as tight as possible.
"I love you too, I got you something so you'll always remember me" her eyes lift up, every time one of us are given something special it's like we've just seen Santa. I take out the two gold heart necklaces and put hers on.
"One for you and one for me, sisters for life" I say.
"Thank you Riley, forever and always" she says hugging me.
"Riley honey there here" the words I've been dreading to hear. What's going to happen next I don't know.

I walk through and everyone stares at me. It's like this when anyone leave you get jealous, you wish it was you leaving not them. I see him standing there, my heart starts to pound in my chest. I can't do this. I have to though, I'm getting too old.
"You ready Riley?" Deborah asks
"Yeah, I think so"
"Say goodbye, James darling get her bags and put them in the car. Well just be waiting in the car, take as much time as you need" they leave and everyone of the kids run and hug me but Harry. I let go and say good bye to all the careers.
"Yo Riley, come here" Harry says and I follow him into the kitchen.
"What Harry please don't spoil this for me"
"As much as I hate to admit this I'm gonna miss you" he says giving me a hug
"I'm gonna miss you too" I say hugging him back. I let go and he looks at me.
"Do you think I'll ever get out of this hell hole?"
"Honestly Harry I don't know, you just got to hope for the best and maybe it'll happen"
"Thanks Riley, see you around?" He asks
"Yeah see you around" I say smiling at him. I leave the kitchen and say one last goodbye to everyone.

I watch as they all walk inside but Harry and Haley. Haley is crying her eyes out and Harry is being some what nice to her. I wave and smile. I'm gonna miss them a lot.
"Riley this is going to be great don't you think?" Debris he asks but all I can think about is how heart broken Haley is. I was fine before they came. Why me? Why'd they have to pick someone the same age as there smoking hot son and not Haley.
"Yeah, sure whatever" I say looking out the window.
"What's wrong sweetie?"
"Why me huh? You could of picked any one of those girls but you pick me" I say slightly agitated.
"Well David wanted an older girl so there was no drama"
"I was fine before this and those little girls have been through so much more than me and hey deserve a family more than I'll ever"
"Riley!" I jump slightly. David pulls over and turns around.
"What?" I asks with slight sass
"Don't you dare start acting up cause you can go right back where you came from"
"Go on take me back" I stare him dead in the eye.
"David honey, don't be so silly she's just upset about leaving her friends aren't you?" Deborah asks. The right thing to do is agree here but I don't want to. I have too.
"Yeah, sorry it's just they've been the only family I've had so it's a little hard"
"I want no more of these little outburst you got that?" David says. I've never actually spent time with him and he kinda intimates me a little.
"Yeah, sorry" I say turning to look out he window as he drives again. Is this really how a father acts towards his new daughter. I'm not so sure I want a family anymore, if this is how they act. I know I'll never be one of them but I don't know if I want to anymore.
