•••chapter one•••

I woke up in a gasp, barely breathing. Hyperventilating in my damn new foster home.

"Hey hey hey relax Millie just breathe. Breathe in breathe out. Okay it's just a dream." Said the redhead whom I just met earlier.

She came beside me holding me close to her.

"What's going on?" Said a teenage girl that also lived with us she had brown hair like I did.

"Millie had a bad dream." Sadie the redhead said.

Natalia the other girl with brown hair. Sat on the other side of my bed trying to comfort me.

"I wish it was just a nightmare." I said finally getting words out.

Sadie and Natalia gave me weird looks. If only they knew my horrible past.

"Hey what's going on girls?" Said the nice lady that took me in when I escaped. She stood by the door way.

"Millie had a bad dream." Natalia said.

"Sorry ms. Ryder ." I apologize.

"Oh Millie how many times do I have to say it call me Winona."

"Sorry Winona." I corrected

"Now why are you apologizing?" She asked as she came close to me and sat on the end of my bed.

"For waking you up." I said shyly.

"No sweetie it's not your fault and besides it's actually almost time for all of us to wake up."

Today was my first day in a new school.

I sighed.

"Don't worry mills Natalia and I will be happy to show your around our school." Sadie said.

I simply nod my head.

"Okay I'll go make breakfast!" Natalia said.

"Get ready girls." Winona said to Sadie and I.

This wasn't the first time I've had that same flashback. It's a haunting one. One that you wish you could forget.

I have a sad, depressing life. Since birth actually.

"Whatcha thinking about?" Sadie asked.

"I wish it was a nightmare but it's not. It happened. It really did happen." I answered

"You know that happened to me too. I would have these horrible flashbacks, wake up screaming. I never told anyone my story until I met Winona and Natalia. Winona was different then any other foster parents." Sadie said.

"I honestly don't think I'll ever be ready to tell my story. And if I have well, let's just say my mom was drunk, my dad was with a slut." I said.

"Oh no it's okay you don't have to tell me anything just know that I'm here for you." She said.

"Thanks you know, you and Natalia have been super nice to me. I expected some annoying wannabe bitches but I guess not." I said chuckling

My comment caused Sadie to laugh.

"Well you are very lucky. As someone who had been moved to different foster homes over and over. I'm glad your second home is good. Unlike my first and second home."

"Not to intrude but what happened" I asked curiously

"Oh well my mom got knocked up by one night stand, and well, she didn't want me, so she left me in a garbage can, and my dad well he obviously didn't want anything to do with me." She said confidently.

I was honestly confused, I would break down if I was her but maybe she's okay.

"I-I'm sorry I didn't-"

"It's fine. I don't really mind." She said.

I smiled at her.

"Besides I like to believe my dad is a famous person and in a huge success."

I smiled admiring her confidence that I wish to have.

"I like you confidence a lot. I hope to have that one day." I said

"You will."

"Alright girls time for us to go to high school." Natalia said signaling for us to go.

"Well time to for me to meet new people." I said sighing with absolutely zero enthusiasm.
