Foster Kids

5

All the girl get settled in our hotel rooms. Two rooms for girls and two for boys. I called the couch bed with Dam's cousin Mia Casper.

"I saw you talking to Victor Tate on the bus, y'all seem pretty close."

I roll my eyes at Mia and shake my head.

"Well he was my seat partner and I didn't wanna be bored so I talked to him. He's not that bad."

"Sure except he's a Jerk of a Jock, am ex criminal. Oh yeah and a foster kid."

She whispers the last part like being a foster kids bad. In this while school only Dam knows I'm one. I'm surprise he never told Mia. She his favorite cousin or was till she started sluting, he still likes her, not so much love though. She stills a good friend.

"What'd so wrong with being a foster kid?"

"Well you know."

"No I don't."

"They either have one or both parents in jail, no family to take care of them or family didn't want them. Some come from really bad homes an become bad themselves. A lot of them don't finish high school or/and become problems of society."

"Not all foster kids are like that Mia. You don't think that way do you?"

"Oh I do. My aunt, not Dam's mom, was a foster kids. A lot of foster girls become teen moms, she would of be one if she didn't do drugs and let her foster dads rape her."

"That couldn't be help."

"Sure it could and her brother was a list saying that he was also rapped. Boys don't get rapped. He wanted it. "

"What happen to them?"

"He's dead. Joined a gang and got murdered. She was just released out if jail last month."

"How long was she in an for what?"

"28 years for second degree murder. She murder her brother and last foster dad."

My blood ran cold at Mia's words. I told her I was going to check on my cousins in the boys room. Javon and Nick were my only real family. Never knew my dad and my moms in jail for a hit and run drunk. The only reason I couldn't live with my cousins were because they live with their step dad since their mom died and he's not allowed ti be around females under eighteen cause of rape charges. Luckily he's homophobic, which just makes him an Ahole, and doesn't touch his step sons.

"Hey Toni, what's up?" They both ask at the same time.

"Just checking on you guys. You guys share a room with Victor Tate?"

"Yeah the rooms go by last names. Quill, Queen, Redd, Ryan, Smalls, Stack, Steven, Stocks, Stork, Tane, Tate, Thomas, Thorn, Todd Udine, Xavier, Yama."

"I know, I know. Only One hundred of us came on the trip for spring break. Just tell him to meet me in the lobby with a free pass in twelve minutes."
