Lost

Chapter Three - My Past

OK, now I have decided to tell you about my past.  When I was born, my mom, Jenna Kolten, abandoned me with only my drunken father to take care of me.  He beat me and did all sorts of terrible things.  I had never had a birthday, hug, "love you", or the family I wished I had.  Eventually at the age of seven, my dad, Roy Kolten, left and left me at the shack without food, light, and water.  I was almost dead when CPS came to take me to the hospital.  At the age of eight I was adopted by Skipper and Carrie Keaton and was soon moved into a mansion compared to my old home.  I discoverd I had three new brothers and two new sisters.  Abby was a quirky little ten year old who had no sass only smarts.  She had blonde hair and brown eyes.  Madalyn was the little princess of the siblings, being only five,  with her sassiness and attitude.  She had blonde hair as well, but blue eyes.  Kolbi was the quiet one, he always stayed up in his room listening to loud music and occasionally no music at all.  It all depended on his mood.  He was ten with black hair and blue eyes.  I considered Alex more mysterious than the rest, he was eleven but I knew he was hiding something.  He had black hair and brown eyes. I occasionally caught him pulling down his jacket sleeve to hide the cuts.  He was a depressed kid who needed help, but he never asked for any, so no one ever helped him.  Then there was Josh, he was only nine but a very athletic kid.  He had brown hair and blue eyes.  All I know is that he played footbal, soccer, baseball, and he swam.  One word, amazing!  When I was adopted I was a little scared.  I mean who wouldn't be, you were going into a house of people you had never met and that were supposedly your "new family".  I soon came to love them, even Alex.  I just never understood the meaning of a real family.
