Drawn Roses

Chapter 1

"Mamma I love you and daddy so much." The little girl squealed. " Really, how much do you love us?" Questioned her mother with a bright smile. The little girl stretched her arms out as far as she could "This much!" She exclaimed. "I lov-"

"Ms. Jennings, Ms. Jennings." Said the worker lady sitting in front of me. I looked up at her, she had on a pant suit with her straight blonde hair pulled back into a tight bun. Her name tag read Tallia. "Uh...sorry what did you say?" I asked feeling embarrassed that I zoned out while she was talking. "I asked if you had living relatives that could take you in?" She asked again. I instantly thought of my brother. "Uh..yes ma'am my older brother Isaac Jennings." I said. She gave me a tight smile before turning to her computer and typing away. Afterwards, she called for me to be escorted to my temporary room.

Right now I'm at the Department of Child Protective Services, because the neighbors heard me screaming and called the police. They in and saw my father(if that's what you want to call him) beating on me.

They were charged with abuse,resisting arrest,and assaulting an officer. They are now in their prison cells that they will be in for the next 15 to 25 years.

The door to my room opened and the same lady came and stood in front of me, while I sat on the uncomfortable cot. "Ms. Jennings we contacted your older brother and he set up a plane ticket for your flight tomorrow." She said. I looked up from my feet. "Where to?" I asked out of curiosity. "California, your plane leaves at 9:00 a.m. and he asked me to make sure you get there safely and on time, so get your stuff and come with me" she finished. I stood up"where are we going?" I asked. "To my house so you can get a good night's sleep, because I know that cot is uncomfortable." She said with a smile.
