Chapter 13:
I was sitting on the floor of a big house, I was little, maybe 3 or 4.I looked to my right and saw my sister. Connceted at the shoulder. I was looking up at a pot belly man with a beard and twinkle in his eyes next to the fire. It was my dad. He was making a funny face at me and I was sitting on my mother's lap. I started laughing and then there was a bang and the sound of glass being shattered. A scary man came in the room with a gun. My father said one word.
"Run."
And that's when my mother took me and my sister up and ran. Then I heard a bang, and my father screaming. Tears were streaming down my mothers face. I screamed.
I woke up screaming. I sat up and noticed I was sweaty. I was more scared then before. It was wonderful seeing a fuzzy picture of my dad and my sister. I missed all of them with all of my heart. I do anything to get them back. Anything.
I hugged my knees and felt and arm go around me. I looked to my right to see a sleepy, but yet smiling Cody.
I froced a smile back. It's really scary re-seeing your dad die. More like being murrded...
I was so scared and sad. I started slightly crying...
Cody pulled my head on to his shlouder.

I woke again. The sunlight room was briiigghhhtt. I rolled over and saw Cody. I slighty smiled.
He opened his eyes.
"Good morning." He said.
"Yea.."
"Care to tell me about your dream?"
I did.. expcet the part about my sister... I don't know why... I just didn't.
"Wow.. poor you."
"Yeah and the worst part is it actually happened."
"Say what?"
"Yup."
"Wow."
"You say that alot."
"What?"
"Wow."
"Oh."
"Yeah." I smiled. :)
He got up and so did I. I'm not so very afraid of Ali, but I had the courage to ask her for clothes... for some reason I feel like i've done that a lot.
After I showered and changed and all that, Cody gave me a bowl of cereal. I smiled and took it greatfully.
I <3 Cereal
I sat on the couch and ate it. Then a memory hit me that made my eyes swell with tears.
I changed and went down stairs were cereal was being poured. I walked down stairs smiling. But Angie seemed sort of sad.
"Have you heard any news on my mom?" I asked sitting down.
She sighed and motioned for me to follow her. I gave Cody a confused look. But he looked as clueless as me. I shrugged and got up.
"Destiny...." she started. And then I knew it. She wasn't coming back. (tear!) "They found her dead in the street."
My mouth opened a little. I nodded sadly. "Thanks." I said and went back up stairs to my room and cried.
Cody came and sat on the couch next to me.
"I just remembered your mom telling me that mine was dead." I said sallowing hard.
I looked down at my cereal and pushed it around with a spoon.
"Oh..." Cody said.
----------
Ali and Angie took me shopping yesterday to get some clothes. It was fun, but I was really shy.
Today were leaving for Florida. We were at the Airport waiting for the plane when another memory hit me. It was of some guy hitting and shouting at me... I'm not gonna discribe it... It's bad... D:
Cody put his hand on my wrist causing it to slide back a little which revialed a large bruse...
"Where did that come from?" Cody asked in concern.
"Umm... I don't remember..." I said lieing because I didn't want to talk about it...
"Your lieing."
"I- I just don't want to talk about it right now, okay?" I said pulling my arm away and covering it back up. Then our flight was called.
