Little Miss Purdy

Chapter 1

Lewis's POV

Flash back 

I sat up on my bed, listening to my mother argue with my father over the phone for child support yet again while my brother cried in the opposite room. I sighed realising this was constant on a Sunday at the Kingston household.

I use to think living with just my mum and brother would be perfect but the truth i my mother is as bad as my father now, they'd only pay attention when childline pays a visit.

I decided I had enough and jumped off my bed, I crept out my room and down the creaky stairs yet my mum still didn't notice. I ran to the door and opened it revealing a woman in black clothing with two men dressed the same behind her.

"Hi there sweetie, I'm Emma from childline, if you don't mind you and your brother will be coming with me for awhile ok ?" The lady said bending down to my level,

"MUM, MUM"  screamed but It was to late, by the time my mum came running I was already being marched out into a black car and the two men were already upstairs.

"Lewis, Lewis wake up" someone said shaking my shoulders,

"Wh, what" I stuttered rubbing my eyes.

"You were crying again" Lacy said sitting on the side of my bed,

"Huh ?, oh yeah" I said realising I was doing it again.

"You know I have some pills for that right" she said getting up and going through her draws,

"No, no it's good" I said laying back down.

"Suit yourself " she said knocking back a pill, I went back to sleep considering it was 3 in the morning.

***

When I woke up for the second time today, Lacy was finishing her hair with a pink hairband and lots of hairspray, making me cough.

"Lewis, get ready now we got visitors" She squealed looking into her pale reflection in the mirror. I sighed knowing exactly what 'visitors' meant, some new couple looking for a young innocent 8 year old. There's no point even getting ready, they'd never adopt a 13 year old were all to 'damaged'.

"Yeah yeah" I huffed shaking her off, I pulled out a pair of black jeans and a red sws top with a pair of black converse. I brushed my long black hair and quickly added some eyeliner before following Lacy out the door.

"Who even is it this time ?" I asked Lacy as we walked down the stairs,

"I'm not sure, probably some new ..." I didn't hear the rest of what Lacy said as I looked down the stairway I saw something or someone even I don't usually see in person making my jaw drop.

Ashley Purdy

"Miss Downing and Miss Kingston how nice of you to join us" The head carer is Grayson said blocking Ashleys way,

"Sorry" Lacy muttered for being late as we walked down the stairs.

"And you miss Kingston" She yelled after not getting a reply,

"Sorry" I said sarcastically, regrouping with the rest of the girls standing in horizontal lines, the carer scowled at me before making her way back to Ashley . Why would someone like Ashley Purdy want to adopt a girl or let alone a child ?

"Mr Purd this .."

"Purdy" Ashley interrupted Miss Grayson.

"Mr Purdy" she corrected herself, "I think your find most interest in our infant girls here at Chapman's all girl foster home" She said proudly guiding Ashley to the line of the youngest girls making me roll my eyes, she never gave us older girls a chance.

"Thank you Mr's " Ash stopped himself,

"Miss Grayson" she falsely smiled.

"I'll think I'll find my own thank you" He said making his way to the last line, my line. 

"You" He said pointing to the girl next to me, I mentally sighed and tried not to show my discomfort.

"Really" She squealed waving her arms up and down.

"No, her" He said pointing to me making the other girl tear up, I think in that very moment my heart skipped a beat.

"Are you sure ?" Miss Grayson asked making her way over to Ashley.

"Definitely" 

"Well come on Lewis let's get you checked out" She said urging me to follow the two the office where I hear disappointed sighs from the other girls follow me.

"Lewis go pack your clothes, while we do paperwork" 

"Sure" I muttered under my breath as I went back into mine and Lacy's room, it will be weird not sharing a room with Lacy I have since I first got here and she's been a sister to me since.

I packed my very few clothes into my black backpack while Lacy came into the room also looking tearful.

"I'm going to miss your little emo ass so much" She laughed hugging me while sneaking something into my hand.

I gave her a confused look and she put a finger over her lips,

"Just a little something to remember me by" She smiled.

"As if I could forget you" I smiled back.

"Lewis, It's time" Miss Grayson interrupted us,  

Lacy gave me a quick nod and I followed Grayson out the door, as I walked down the stairs every girl started at some smiling others crying or some even swearing.

'Good riddance' I thought as I followed Miss Grayson to a black hummer.

This is where my old life ends and my new one begins.
