Becca's POV

   "Becca! Help me!" My mom yells. I ran upstairs to my mom. Before I got there, I heard a gun go off and I knew she was gone. I heard footsteps and I started getting scared. I hid in a closet and wouldn't leave for anything. After about three hours, the door opened. An officer was there. "We got him. Also we couldn't save your mom so we're sending you to a girls' home." He said. "Okay." I said. I packed my stuff and someone came and sent me to the girls' home. 

   I woke up to my alarm going off. I slapped it off and got dressed. Then I ran downstairs to get breakfast. As I reached the lunchroom, someone shoved me and I fell. Sadie, a ten year old girl with long red hair, started laughing. "Why don't you learn to walk you dork?" She asked. I started to get up but she stepped on me to get to the lunchroom. "Jerk." I muttered. Sadie whipped around. "Did you just call me a jerk?" She asked. "No. It wasn't me." I said. Sadie grabbed me and pinned me against the wall. "Never call me a jerk again. Ever." She said. I tried to move but she kept a grip on me. "Do you hear me?" She asked. I tried to move again. She tightened her grip on me. "Do you?" She asked louder. "Yes." I said weakly. "Good." Sadie said. She dropped my arms and I slumped against the wall. I ran upstairs and went into my room. 

   After about twenty minutes of watching YouTube, I heard the adoption bell ringing. I sighed. "Time for more humiliation." I said to myself. I ran downstairs. Sadie came up to me. "Might as well cry now. You'll never get adopted." She hissed in my ear. The door opened and a young couple walked in. My eyes widened. "No freaking way!" I yelled. Every head turned to me and I blushed bright red. Sadie grabbed me and pinned me against the wall. After a while, she let go. I slumped against the wall. Lizzie whispered something to Joel and he laughed. I ran upstairs and cried.

Lizzie's POV

  Joel and I looked at each other. Why did she run off? I went upstairs to find her. I finally found her in her room crying. I sat down on the bed. "What's wrong?" I asked. She lifted her head up. "Y-you and Joel probably hate me now. A-and it's all because I noticed you." She said. I rubbed her back. "We don't hate you. We were laughing because that one girl has anger problems. I made a joke saying that she probably ran away as a kid." I said. She laughed."Yeah. We don't hate you." Joel said coming into the room. "Joking about me?" Someone yelled. "No. We were just joking around." Becca said. "Liar." The girl said. 

 Joel's POV

 The girl ran in and started hurting Becca. Lizzie tried to stop them but the girl kicked her in the stomach. Suddenly I pulled Becca off of the girl. I looked at Becca. "Pack your stuff. We're getting you out of here." I said. Becca packed her stuff. I helped carry her stuff. I paid and we left. I put her stuff in the car and got in. Lizzie was already in the car with Becca. We headed home. With our new daughter.
