Adopted by Simon Cowell

Chapter 2

    I walked out the door acting cool, but when I closed the door I ran to where Ava and Ms.Cady were waiting. They had big smiles on their faces. We walked out the door and then I lost my happiness. The foster home I lived in has two people that take care of us. Ms.Cady and Ms.Janet. Ms.Janet is really mean to me but nice to everyone else. So she told everyone not to like me but she never had the chance to tell Ava. Ava was put in foster care only a week ago.
    Ms.Cady and Ava are the only nice ones there. When Ms.Janet is around they act like they don't like me, but when she's gone they say sorry for what they did. The drive is about a hour so I have time to feel a little happy about what happened.
    When we got back the first thing I hear is, "Ms.Janet the talentless freak is back." Ava and Ms.Cady looked at each other and let out a fake laugh.
I didn't pay any attention to this comment as I was use to it.
    "How was living your pathetic dream?" I was terrified. How did she know I went to go audtiton? "Well? How was it to breath the fresh air outside." Thank godness.
   "Um... Fine I guess."
   "Great." she said sarcasically. "Now we have guest coming tomorrow. So you have to clean the house and in the morning you need to make those cookies you make everytime. I don't know why but people actually like them. What are you standing around for? GET TO WORK!" she yelled. I grab the stuff I need to start cleaning. Having to clean everyday I manged to make a little spot in the laundry room for all the stuff.
   It was about 12:05 now and Ava ran down the stairs, gave me a hug, sayed goodnight, and ran back up. Being almost done with the living room I had to decided if I should finish tomorrow morning, or finish tonight so I can sleep in. I put all my cleaning stuff away and went to bed. Knowing Ms.Janet I would be up early anyway.
  I had the worse dream ever. Here's what happened. I was sitting in a room unable to move. I was screaming, but no sound was coming out. My mouth felt really dry. All of a sudden, the door flew open. It was Ms.Janet. She looked more angry then usual.
  "You no good freak! You went to audition for The X Factor? You have no talent in you! You are just a talentless, useless, ugly girl that I got stuck with. You will never be adopted! I'm going to put you in another foster care. I will not care for you anymore!" she yelled as she was beating me. "Wake up! Wake up!" she said. I felt my body being shoke by something. My eyes snapped open. "About time you got up! The guest will be arriving in a hour! This house better be spotless by that time, or you will pay the price!"
   Ms.Janet stomped out of the room. She slammed the door shut and I jumped. I looked down at my hands and they were shaking like crazy, but I wasn't focused on that. There was bruises on my arms and legs. So she did acual beat me. I walked over to the mirror to see how horrible I looked. There was a big bruise on my eye. Great. I used a lot of makeup to cover it up but nothing worked. It was still very visible.
   I looked at the clock and saw it was half past seven. As I walked down the stairs the girls whispered comments about Ms.Janet yelling at me. I hurried and cleaned the house and made the cookies. Everything was ready for the visit.
