The boys sat talking in front of me for an hour. I watched the hands on the clock across the room slowly tick by. I tried not to listen to what they were saying, but I heard fix her, love her, and I thought I heard adopt. I was frozen with fear. What would I do if they adopted me? Would they be as bad as daddy was? Or would they be worse 'cause there's more of them?

They stood up, startling me from my thinking. I continued to shuffle backward, holding back screams. The curly haired and the red haired boys waved at me, then they walked across the room. Halfway there, Kiara met them. I can see her talking to them, flipping her hair and twirling it around her finger. She points at me throws her head back, laughing.

As I watch the 4 boys, I see their postures changed. They don't look very friendly anymore. They look more like daddy when he gets mad. I'm scared. I don't want them to come back over here and hit me. That's what people do when they're mad. They hit people. Kiara looks at me again. She looks confused. The boys look angry. they walk away from Kiara, towards Ms. Cole. Now I'm confused. If they are mad at Kiara why didn't they hit her? That's what happens when you make boys mad! They hit you.

I start to try and make my way back upstairs, but Kiara comes storming towards me. She's very mad. I know that I'm going to get hurt. Very badly hurt. I try to run up the stairs, but she grabs me. her friends make a line so Ms. Cole and the other kids can't see what she's going to do.

"You little b*tch. You stole my chance at getting out of this h*ll hole. 5SOS is my destiny. I'm supposed to be their child. Not you! You're just a little brat no one wants!"

She starts to kick me, then punch me. I start sobbing and screaming.

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut Up!" She screams back at me, kicking harder and harder. The world started going black. I knew I was going to pass out. Daddy had made me pass out sometimes if he hit me really hard. When I woke up, he'd start hitting me again. I close my eye and wait for the world to fade out.
