Emma POV
I keep replaying all the memories from my last home. I can't take it. I know the lady was trying to be nice but she could've said something different. Why sweetheart.
|flashback to last home|
Emma POV
"Emma, honey, dinner is ready." My foster mom yells up the stairs. I come running down. This house is staring to feel like home. This is the longest I've been in one spot. 7 months! I have a mom, dad, sister and a little brother.
"Where's dad?" Sara, my older sister, asked.
     "Dada?" Sam, my baby brother, said
"I dont know, I'll text him." I said. I go to get my phone.
Hey, wondering when you'll be home. Dinners ready.

Hey Sweetheart,
I'll be home in a little. I'm gonna be a little late today.

I love when he calls me that. Sweetheart.

Ok, do you want us to freeze some food?

After that I see the typing bubbles. No answer. Whatever he's probably driving. I go downstairs and eat with my family. I like the sound of that.
A few minutes after dinner we start a movie we wanted to stay awake for when dad go home. About half way though the movie mom gets a phone call. She starts sobbing. I get a pit in my stomach. Oh no. Sara looks at me concern in her eyes. Sam is upstairs sleeping.
     "H-he's dead." She manages to say. Sara falls to her knees and starts crying. I just stand there, shocked. Mom hangs up the phone.
     "H-he was t-texting when a c-car hit him." She sobs, "We n-need to get t-to the h-hospital." Why? He's dead, he's gone. Why go to the hospital. The car ride is filled with sobs. Luckily the hospital is close. At this point I'm sobbing and shaking. How could this happen this was my one chance at a family and now we are all broken. I can't be broken.
     Once we get to the hospital a police stops us.
     "He died trying to text a contact under the name of Sweetheart." He says as he leads us to him. I stop frozen. I'm Sweetheart. He died texting me. I could've called him and he'd still be alive. Sara notice I stopped.
     "Y-your Sweetheart. You killed my father! You the reason he's dead! I hate you! I never even wanted a sister! Yet, here you are and you ruined our lives! How about you just leave?" She yells at me. I sob, my hands cover my mouth. I ran out of the hospital, past the car and onto the street home. I hear them calling my name. It's no use I'm gone.

Killian POV
     I open my eyes. Everything hurts, I'm laying on my back and I am still feel the belt whipping me. I cry out in pain.
     "Ahhh, please help!" I scream, the pain is unbearable.
     "Please help! Help me!" I scream. I keep screaming until a team of nurses run in. They try to calm me down, all I can do is scream. I scream and scream. I try to get up I want to run away, away from the pain. I'm so confused I don't even know where I am or what happened. I confused on how I got here. Where are Liam and dad? All the sudden they burst in.
"Killian!" Liam yells over me. He looks so scared. The pain gets worse I scream louder.
"Do something!" My dad yells. The nurses put something over my mouth. The pain goes away, I'm tired. My world goes black.

Liam POV
My dad and me hear screaming, Killian. He gets up and runs. I follow, when I get in the room I see Killian he's screaming.
"Killian!" I scream, I'm terrified. I watch as my dad yells at the nurses. Killian is trying to get up he's in so much pain. All of the sudden they pin him down and put a mask on his face. He stops screaming and falls asleep.
"Dad?" I say crying yet again. He just walks over to Killian's limp body. He kneels down and cries.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He mumbles over and over again while crying. I walk over to Killian I cry harder and hug my dad.

Emma POV
I get the courage to get up and keep going. I walk to a nearby park and sleep on a bench. I'll be found in the morning and put back in foster care so it doesn't matter where I sleep.

Killian POV
I wake up again. It doesn't hurt as bad. This time I'm laying on my stomach. I can feel my hospital cover  open. I see Liam and my dads feet. I hear them crying. I want to say something but I'm afraid if I move it will hurt more.
     A few minutes later a nurse walks in and my dad feet leave. Liam's are still here.
     "He did not only get whipped in the back but it seems like he got a few hits to the neck, which can be very serious." The nurse says, she sounds sad.
     "What do you mean? When will you know if it's serious or not." My dad says in a quiet voice.
     "Next time he wakes up we will take him into x-rays. The police said the belt wasn't leather but more hard like metal." The nurse says. I feel Liam touch my hand. He bends down to make eye contact. I close my eyes, I can't risk Liam saying something.
     "I'm sorry Killian." He says into my ear. I open my eyes he stares at me. Somehow I think he knows that I want him to stay quiet. So that's what he does.

Emma POV
     3:59am and the cops are everywhere. Nice. I thought I'd sleep through the night before I had to go back to foster care but I guess not. One police officer comes up to me.
     "We got a call about a missing 9 year old. Could that be you?" She asked. I shake my head no. I'm tired I want to sleep.
     "Well, because you ran away you foster family is reconsidering you adoption. So until then you will have to go back to foster care." She said with a sadden expression on her face. I want to cry but I'm can't show weakness.

Authors POV
     Emma and Killian both had a really hard weak. Emma was put back into foster care which brought on extreme depression. Killian was left with a very serious spinal disorder. Both of them grew but continued to struggle with the effects of their past.

Ending was rough
