"When I was born, March 4th, our parents loved me, they played with me, feeding me, taking me to the park, hugs and kisses every single night and day, they truly loved me...." Aiden looked down and sighed, "but, once Chloe was born, May, 16th, something changed, something in them just, snapped, I was 2, and, I had to be the parent, mom and dad went out to get high and drunk, I had to grow up pretty fast, and, even though, we tried our hardest to stay as far away from them as possible, they still blames all their problems on us, and would beat us..." Aiden stopped, he whipped tears from his eyes, and looked away, Chloe then said, "I'll continue" Molly and Larry nodded, "everyday we would be beaten, in and out of the hospital, moving to house to house, being new kids over and over again, covering up the brushes, some kids wanted to be our friends but we pushed them away, we didn't trust them, we didn't trust anyone, our parents made sure of that" Chloe looked to Dawn, "then a year past and on Aguest 10th, Dawn was born, we kept thinking if they hated us so much, why keep having more kids? Aiden looked after me and Dawn, and tried to save us from the daily beatens, but it didn't work, and we were rushed to the hospital again, Dawn wasn't even 4 months, the doctors and nurses asked us what happened, we had to lie! We couldn't tell them what happened!" Chloe exclaimed, "why?" Asked Alex,"because" Chloe started again, "our parents threatened us, they threatened to kill us! They threatened us everyday! We couldn't escape our living nightmares!" Chloe whipped tears from her eyes and hugged Aiden, Dawn pat her on the back, then said, "my turn" Molly and Larry nodded, "during the years we grow and grow, and grow to be angry and depressed children, never trusting anyone, never telling anyone, and moving place to place, when I was 2, mom and dad give birth to.... Twin boys, named Max and Kevin, our parents adored them, but not us, they said we were mistakes, that they only wanted twin boys, but instead got us, they neglected us even more, but did everything for them" Chloe whipped a tear that was falling from her left eye and continued, "when I was 4, Chloe 6, Aiden 8, and the twins were 2, we went to the park, we were all playing happily together, untill..." Dawn stopped, "untill what?" Asked Larry, "untill a bunch of men came in a big white van, all but the driver ran to us, they tried to grab us, but failed, but, they got the twins! When we ran home and told our parents, they ripped us! They said it was our fault! They said we better pray the twins were okay, if we wanted to live to see our next birthday, but, a month before mom knew she was pregnant with Ava, two police officers came by the house, mom and dad pleaded to them, pleaded for the twins to come home, but, that wasn't what happened..." Dawn whipped tears away and ran to the same corner Ava was in, and started crying, Chloe went to cunvort with Dawn, Aiden looked at Molly and Larry, "I guess, I'll continue" he said then cuddle Ava, "the police told our parents, they found the twins... But floating face down, at the beach, dead, our parents lost it, they blamed it on us! They beat us so bad that night, saying we were the reason their special angels were dead! Then... On July 1st Ava was born, mom and dad really despised her, they said the twins died because Ava was born, that was why mom and dad beat her the most, she nearly died at 8 months, from being locked in the basement, tied to a chair, for a full day, it wasn't till we found the key for the basement, till she got feed, had milk, and got her bum change, we protected her 247 then, but, mom and dad still got their hand prints on her, and, dad got her pants down, and when Ava was at age 2 we were all rushed to the hospital, from the worse beaten of our lifes, they made up plenty of stories, but never the truth, at that point we knew we would have a short life living with our parents, and we were so happy when we were took out of that hell whole!" Ava started crying, "I sorry" then she hugged Aiden "awe, Ava..." Aiden said and tried to hold back tears, "it wasn't your fault Ava" said Chloe, "we just had bad luck" said Dawn, then they went to Aiden and Ava and hugged them, "was that the end of the story?" Asked Molly, "not quite" said Aiden then looked back at the foster family, "two months after Ava's 4th birthday we all moved here, to California, we moved from Tennessee, we were beaten still, but thankfully we told our teacher Mrs. Honey, which caused us to go to loss of foster homes, get separated, get thrown out, then the group home we were in last, Ava got abused there to, but we had no clue untill a few days ago, that's why we came here" Molly and Larry looked down, "well, we're happy you're here!" Said Lily then hugged the 4 siblings, the 4 siblings were shocked, then the rest of the foster family got into the group hug.
The kids then felt relief, and at that! Was a heart touching moment! That would change the kids lives forever!
