Kassie walked in the front door to see a huge mess in the kitchen. Could they honestly not clean up after themselves?
"Kassie where is that water I asked for", Tif said as she wandered into the kitchen. She still looked like she had a hang over. That's usually how Kassie saw her. The only time Tif and Rob were sober is when the social workers came to check up on them.
"Where the hell is that water." Kassie walked out of the kitchen and down to the basement. "YOURE GROUNDED YOUNG LADY!" She sat down on her bed and pulled off her boots. She'd be out of here soon. Soon she'd be eighteen and free. She'd have a huge house and a fancy job...
She fell asleep quickly and woke up to a slam. Kassie ran up the stairs to see Camie pushed against a wall. Rob was holding her by her shirt and she was crying.
"Please no. Let me go! You're hurting me! Please no." Tif was standing in the corner laughing and Rob looked like he wanted to slap the crap out of her. "Hey! You can't do that!", Kassie screamed as she ran over to the wall to slip in between the two. "Kassie get out of the way", Tif said. "Stop or I'll call nine-one-one", Kassie yelled. Rob backed up and walked into his bedroom. "You're grounded for ruining our fun", Tif said before following her husband.
Kassie pulled the crying girl down the basement steps. She sat down and the bed and let Camie cry into her shoulder. "Are you going to tell me what happened?" "I-I walked into the the kitchen and an-bam", she said. "Are you okay? Are you hurt? Did he say anything to you at all?", Camie started to cry even harder. Kassie laid down with her still crying into her shoulder until she eventually cried herself to sleep.
"Camie do you want to talk about it?" "No I'll be fine", she said as she put her long blonde hair into a ponytail. "Where's your box?" She walked over to her bedroom mirror to put on some foundation. She was going to Sam's house to study for a big test they were going to have Monday."Okay well if you want to talk to me about it then I'll be home all day cleaning. I might go running-" "Kassie I'm fine really", she lifted her arm up to fix her hair and Kassie saw a bruise near her armpit.
"What did they do to your box Camie?" Camie looked down and Kassie went to stand behind her. "They burned it. You don't need to tell anyone okay Kassie."
Kassie shut the front door and walked into the kitchen. There were plates and cups in the sink. There was cereal on the floor. Someone dropped an ice cube and it melted. Of course they didn't clean up. Why clean when you can have drunken sex all night?
Was that the first time they did that to Camie? It must not have been, she didn't seem fazed by it... Kassie had to call someone. Someone had to know. She couldn't just watch that happen to someone. Especially someone like Camie.
"Where are you foster parents Kassie?" A lady with a red ponytail and tall high heels walked through the front door. She was in a suit. Kassie was used to her, her social worker. Ms. Johnson.
"Knowing them they're probably having sex right now." Kassie led Ms. Johnson to their bedroom and sure enough Tif was passed out on top of Rob.
