Sofie POV.

After a while the car stops driving. I slowly open my eyes and see Calum staring at me with a worried look in his eyes. I smile weakly at him. We get out of the car and see it's already getting dark. When I look around, I see we're standing near a pretty big house. Am I going to live in there? We walk inside, so I guess I am.

"First we want to introduce ourselves," Calum says. I nod and follow him into the living room. We sit down on the couch. This time 'Lucas' is sitting next to me. I immediately get very uncomfortable and try not to look at him.

"I... Uhm... Where's the bathroom?" I ask.

"Hallway, first door left," the boy with the red hair answers.

I nod and quickly run to find the bathroom. I actually don't really need to use the bathroom, but I just don't want to sit next to 'Lucas'.

Why hasn't he talked to me yet actually? Doesn't he recognize me? Or isn't he the REAL Lucas? I don't even know his name! Maybe he's a real different person. I think I'll just have to wait and see.

When I walk back to the living room, I see there's still an empty chair left. I sit down in the chair and sigh in relief, because I don't have to sit next to 'Lucas'.

"Do you want to start introducing yourself?" Calum asks me.

"Uhm... Okay," I say softly. "I am Sofie and I'm 11 years old, but I have no idea what else I can teen you..."

"How did you lose your parents?" the red haired boy asks.

"MICHAEL, you can't just ask that right now!" Calum exclaims.

My parents... I traded them for new parents... What would they think of it? I actually prefer to have my own parents back, but that's impossible, I won't ever see them again. I couldn't even say them goodbye. A tear finds his way down my cheek and I wipe it away quickly. I don't want the boys to see me cry.

"Uhm okay... I'm sorry," the red haired boy says. "So I'm Michael and I'm 22 years old."

"My name is Ashton and I am 23 years old," the boy with the light brown hair says.

Now it's 'Lucas" turn. "I am Luke and I am 21 years old, but some people call me Lucas."

It's like the time just stopped. I still see the boys move, but I can't hear them anymore. The only thing I can hear are the voices in my head. He is back! What's he doing here? What does he want from me? Is he going to hit me again?

Just stay away from him, so nothing can go wrong.

"Sofie, are you alright?" I hear Ashton say.

I blink for a second. "Uhm yeah. It's just... I'm a bit tired," I say.

"Do you want to go to bed already?" Calum asks. I nod and after the boys have wished me good night, Calum brings me to my bedroom. There's a bed for two people and a few other pieces of furniture.

"We didn't know what you'd like, but we can see still change your room like you want it to be," Calum says.

"Okay," I say. "And... Uhm... I don't really have something to sleep in actually." I shyly look at the ground.

"Than we'll have to buy you some clothes soon, but right now you can sleep in one of my shirts." He walks out of the room and comes back with a shirt, which he hands to me. "You can change now, I'll be back in a second."

I nod again and start undressing. I put on Calum's shirt. It's much too big, it even covers my knees.

After a short time Calum comes back and smile when he sees how big the shirt is on me. He approaches me and pulls me into a hug. A warm feeling fills my body. I really needed this.

He let's go and looks at me. "Good night," he says. I lay down on the bed and he covers me with the blanket.

"See you tomorrow," I whisper when Calum leaves.

I actually like Calum, he's really nice, I think. I close my eyes and fall asleep.
