Chapter Two

You know that saying that everyone says? I think it went "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." That's what I keep telling my self every time I get put down.

I played with my pencil in my hands. I was supposed to be writing about my favorite things to do. My favorite thing to do is drawing and taking care of Jakey.

I didn't want to write it down. I don't want people to know about me. Its better to stay hidden and quiet. Know body will know what happens in my house. No matter how hard I try to tell someone, I just can't seem to let my self go and speak. Its almost like something is holding me back.

I just don't know what it is that's holding me back.

"Okay class, as you all know its picture day today so I want you to all line up." The teacher told us.

I knew it was picture day but I didn't dress up, I never do. I mean what the point in dressing up if your invisible! My parents don't buy my pictures any way.

I stood behind this boy with dark brown spikey hair and dark brown eyes and is short too. I felt bad for him too because he gets picked on for being short.

"Next!" Said the camera guy. He looked scary to me. He had brown hair almost no hair. He is tall and chubby.

I sat on the stool and looked at the camera. I didn't bother to smile. Instead of smiling a tear came falling from my eye and down my cheek. I whipped it away but I whimpered because it hurt when I put pressure on my cheek from the bruise.

"Okay thank you please go back with your class." The camera guy told me.

I got off the stool but I didn't go back with my class. Instead I went to the girls bathroom.

I dropped my bag on the ground and went to the corner. I fell to the ground and put my head on my knees.

I sat there for about twenty minutes then I got up and went to the sink. I looked into the mirror. I had a black eye and bloody lip. My hair is all knotted up and my skin is pail white. I looked like a zombie to be honest.

I ignored my appearance and turned on the water to cold and took a drink out of the tap.

The bell rang and I went out side. About hundred of kids were getting on busses. I saw girls laughing and walking in groups. I saw boys joking around with each other.

Then I saw older girls and guys hugging and holding each other. I want something like that when i'm older. Someone to love and have someone to love back. Someone to trust and talk to.

I ignored every one and walked home or so called home. My little brother is waiting for me.

I set my bag on the floor and sat at the kitchen table. Jake is sleeping so I decided to do some home work before I could open my math book I heard sirens. I don't think the house is on fire? I got up and saw dad and mom talking to these two men and a dude in a black and white tux. Then dad turned and started to run.

"Hey! Get back here now!" Yelled one of the men. He chased dad and tackled him to the ground. The man put these weird round metal thing on his wrist.

The man started taking him out to a car and then my mother started running to him. "Wait! No you- you can't! Please don't take him away!" She yelled while running then another man stopped her and tried to comfort her.

The man in the tux came up to me. "Hey there Zoe I'm Zach. I'm going to take you-" I didn't need to here what he was going to say next. I knew he was going to take me away. I ran out of the house as fast as I could. The man started chasing me. I got into the woods then I felt arms wrap around me. "No you can't take me away! You can't split Jake and I up!" I cried and struggled out of his arms. Of course it didn't work.

Zach set me on the chair and told me to calm down. I did calm down but tears still ran down my cheeks.
Zach handed me a glass dall. It had curly black hair and chocolate brown eyes. She is wearing a white long sleeve dress with blue poke a dots and white dress shoes.

I held her tight in my arms. For some reason it made me feel better.

"Are you ready to go?" He told me and I node.

I grabbed my bag of cloths and my doll and put it in the car. I saw Zach holding Jakey in his arms.

He closed the door. Wait I thought Jake was coming with me? I start banging on the door window and tried to open it but it was on child lock. "Hey I didn't say good bye!" I yell. Then the car started to drive away.

Where am I going? Where is Jake going? Why can't I be with him? I want to go home.
