I walk inside my aunts house, even though I live here now I doesn't feel right to call it my house and I am sure I never will

"Carter is that you" Aunt Helen calls

"No I am a robber" I say walking into the kitchen and seeing her making pizza

"Very funny Carter" she says

"I have something to tell you" I say

"I know your sister is pregnant" she says

"WHAT" I yell

"Did she not tell you" she asks

"If she did would I be surprised" I say pacing back and fourth, I have anxiety so pacing back and fourth is a normal thing I do it everyday really

"I am sorry you had to find out' she says sighing

That makes it easier to tell her so she wont be as mad

"Its fine but I have to tell you something" I say

"Is it about your brother" she asks concerned my brother Robbie is in the military our mom wanted him to go so he promised her he would when we were at the funeral, I don't know where he stationed at I wasn't close with him before my parents died he did live down the hall but we didn't get along and my sister Lily I am not surprised she didn't tell me she was pregnant we didn't have a strong relationship either.

"Go ahead" she says

"I put my self up for adoption today" I say looking at the counter

She spits out her soda and doesn't bother about it, yep she is mad

"CARTER NICOLE WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU DO THAT YOU HAVE A LOVING FAMILY RIGHT HERE" She screams

"BECAUSE WHENEVER THE FAMILY COMES OVER THEY ASK ME HOW I AM AND TALK ABOUT MY PARENTS OR MY SITER AND BROTHER AT SCHOOL ITS ALL SYMAPTHY TOWARDS ME AND I TIRE OF IT, ITS HARD ENOUGH THAT EVERYONE HAS TWO PARENTS WHEN I HAVE NONE THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO CHANGE MY MIND ITS MADE UP" I scream back and stomp into my bedroom.

"We aren't done with this conversation" she yells to me

"Well I am" I say slamming my door

"Carter we need to talk about this" she says knocking on my door

"Fine go ahead you say stuff I will argue with them if there wrong" I say sitting on my bed

"Though the door" she asks

This is my aunt she never like being mad at someone she yell then forgive them.

'What other way is there" I ask

"The people who adopt you could kill or hurt you" she says

"I researched adoptions last night the family services makes surprise visits in the first 2 years" I say

'Well you have it all planned out then don't you" she says

"Yep" I say smirking

"Aunt Helen I have school tomorrow and I am tired so I am going to get in the shower then go to bed" I say

"I will see you in the morning" she says walking away

I go to my dresser and grab underwear, a bra, and soccer shorts, and lastly a t-shirt, I know a weird combination to sleep in but its comfy, I open my door and walk into the bathroom and turn on the water till its the right temperature I quickly strip off my clothes and let the warmth take me over.

"Carter get up" my aunt says shaking me

"I am up" I say rubbing my eyes

"You have school get ready" she says walking out of my room

Its a Monday I wont do anything special for my outfit, I walk over to the closet and pick a purple multi-colored tribal pattern shirt, white jeans which I roll up to be long capris and my black convers. I walk over to my dresser and plug my straighter in my hair is naturally straight but I fell asleep with wet hair so its a mess. I walk into the kitchen and put toast in the toaster and pour a class of apple juice. 

"Carter hurry up we are leaving in 13 minutes" My aunt calls from her room she drops me off on her way to work everyday

"I am almost done" I call out

Great I get to be at school at the most in 20 minutes, kill me now
