I just got back home and my dad was speaking with a man. Adrian must be coming here. I heard Darcy shrieking. I began running fast, but my dad grabbed my wrist. He jerked me back and I fell into someone's arms. I got up and looked behind me. Adrian stood there, smirking. I looked at my dad, my eyes begging for him to let me go take care of Darcy. He just grinned and shook his head.

"Constance, meet Jar Sternly and his son. Adrian.", my dad said, motioning to Adrian and Jar.

"We've met at school.", Adrian said. Darcy screamed louder.

"Constance, go take care of Darcy. She's been screaming for a dang hour.", my father said, scowling. I nodded, meekly, and began walking up the stairs.

"Wait. Connie, go get Darcy. Bring her down here when you get her.", Adrian said. I just nodded and walked upstairs. Who the hey does he think he is!? I'm not a little child who needs instructions! Gosh, why do I even stay here? I could pack my stuff up, get Darcy, and run away right now! But, I'm not gonna. I have money, but I can't leave my dad. He will find me and kill me and Darcy. Darcy sat on the floor, crying. I picked her up and carried her downstairs, after I gave her a bottle. Adrian was whispering in his father's ear. When, he saw me he smiled. I smiled back for the first time in 10 years, and actually meant it.

"Do we have a deal, James?", Jar said to my father. He had a big stack of money, holding it out to my father. He smiled and took the money.

"Sure, but she isn't good for nothing. This for both of them?", my dad asked as Jar nodded. I looked around, confused. I looked at Adrian as if I was asking for an explanation.

"We know you can talk, Connie.", Adrian said, crossing his arms.

"Ok! You tell them?! We barely know them!", I said, glaring at my father. Adrian walked a step closer, and in instinct, I backed up.

"It's ok and don't worry, your little sister can come too." I nod, taking Darcy upstairs. Wow I'm going to be living in a strangers house. Greeeeeat. I'm going to be die. I'm leaving my dad to live with a stranger. Perfectly horrible.
