"Zoe come on you're gonna be late." The social worker said. I just looked at her and grabbed my stuff. "When we get there you've got to be good." He told me. I just nodded letting him know I heard him.
On the way there all you could see was the trees, some water, and all of the happy kids. Why can't I be a happy normal kid? I thought to myself. "Zoe were here." He said turning around looking at me. I got out and saw we were in front of a mansion.
We walked up to the door and knocked. "You must be the social worker." A teen girl said "That is me." He smiled at her "You must be Zoe. My brother can't wait to meet you and take care of you." She told me. I just stared at her. "I'll explain while we talk to the family." He told her. I'm guessing she nodded because we were now inside the house.
"Everyone Zoe's here. Get in the living room." She shouted while i covered me ears and started to pout. "I'm Savannah by the way and I sorry for shouting." She told me. I nodded. She sighed and brought us to the living room.
"Hello I'm Mr. James and this is Zoe." He said sitting on a couch next to a table. I sat next to the table. "I'm Todd. That's Julie my wife, Savannah my youngest girl, Lindsey my oldest girl, Grayson my youngest son, my ma, Chloe my granddaughter, and chase who is Zoe's 'Dad'." Todd said."Zoe doesn't really talk much. She's afraid of shouting, doesn't like dresses, and you've got to show her that you all really care about her." He told them
"If she acts up just call me, I've got an idea how to fix it." He said heading out. "Bye thank you." Julie said. I was still sitting next to the table and everyone looked at me. A few seconds later they looked at Chase.
Chase got down and say at the end of the table near me. "Zoe you can sit on the furniture you know." He told me. I just looked at him from the side.

He sighed and let me be. "Grayson why don't you and Lindsey show Zoe her room?" Julie suggested "Okay." He said heading towards the stairs. Lindsey walked over to me and held out her hand. I looked at it and at her. "You'll be fine Zoe. I promise." Chase told me. I looked at him and nodded taking Lindsey's hand.
"Chase why don't you go with them?"Todd said "Alright." He said grabbing my other hand and squeezing it. I looked up at him and smiled.
+Skip to Dinner+
"Zoe let's go eat." Chase said popping in my room. Suddenly I had a flashback.
'What the hell are you doing.' Dad asked coming in 'Me and Gray were gonna eat.' I said 'Neither of you deserve the food.' He yelled at me 'Jack don't yell at her.' Mom came in 'Shut the fuck up you whore.' He said grabbing a knife and cutting her. That's when the police came in. They pointed the gun at him while the man grabbed us and brought us to a car.
"Zoe??" Chase asked worriedly "I-I'm Not h-hungry." I told him "Zoe please." He begged wiping my tears. I nodded my head no. "Alright but you're eating tomorrow." He said. He kissed my forehead and went down to eat.
'Maybe just Maybe my life will be normal.' I thought as I fell asleep.
