:Nalla POV:

*Door slam*

"Where is it, where did you hide it, i know you took it you little piece of shit!!"

I was awoken by the screaming of my drunk father

II heard him screaming from the other side of the hall

I rushed down the to the door to see why my dad was screaming. Once i got there i saw my father barley on his feet with Soda on the floor silently sobbing

" I dont know what you mean!!" Soda cried

The loud sound of my fathers hand connect with my brothers face instintally had me running over to him and protecting him from the father

"Out of my way, snort!!" my father screamed, connecting the back of his hand with my face just like he did my brother.

He always hits me on my bottom with his belt and it hurts, but this hurts so much more

"Daddy stop!!!" i yeld while holding my hand to my face

I see him almost fall when Soda jumps on his back

I start crying uncontollably

'no, no, no, no, no' i kept repeating

My father grabed a wierd long silver thing and hit my brothers head with it and he was on the floor with his eyes closed

'NO, NO, NO, NO, SODA WAKE UP, NO, NO, NO'

"WAKE UP , WAKE UP, NALLA WAKE UP" I heard Soda's voice and instantly opened my eyes wide, panting and searching his head for blood

"Its okay, Its okay, sshh, Its alright, im fine, see im fine" he whispers showing me his un injured head.

I let out a deep breath, huggung him tightly

"I .. I just ... I thought "

"I know.. Its okay"

There was a moment of silence

"Can.. Can you sleep here tonight.... I just need to know that your okay" I break the silence

"sure" he gives me a sympathetic smile

He lies down next to me with his one arm around my waist and his other one under my head.

We just stay silent. All that is heard is our breathing.

"This is the 7th one this month" he says, breaking the silence

"I know ..." i say weakly

"Maybe we could get you some help" he suggests

"NO.. no .. Im.. Ill be fine"

"okay.." He breathes

I glance at the clock that blinks 4:39 am

I stare at the baige seeling until slowley drifting off to sleep

...........................................................

The loud beeping from the alarm clock wakes me from my deep dreamless slumber .

Turning off the alarm, I turn my head finding Soda snoring with his mouth wide open.

Lowely chuckling, I playfully slap his face to wake him but he continues to snore

"FIRE!!!" i screamed in his ear and is eyes shot wide open. Freaking out which causes him to fall off of the twin size bed

I start laughing like crazy

It takes him about 3 seconds to realize that i was messing with him.

He grabs my wrists and pulls me down on the floor with him

"ah!" i yelp

"Now you cant laugh becuase ill laugh right back" he says in a baby voice while pinching my cheeks

"Let go" i whine, motioning my face away from him.

"hmhm.. Im just playing" he giggles, patting my thigh.

He gets up and walks to the other room

Once he leaves I realize that im in an unrecognized room.

I take a moment to gather my thoughts from what happened last night

Me and Soda got put in into a new foster home. I think our new Foster mom is named ..MarryJane? ... AnnaBelle?... something fancy like that.

The sound of the door swing open interupts me from my thoughts

"MarraBelle Made us breakfast" Soda says with a satasfied but surprised face

Marrebelle... I was close

"uh.. yeah... yeah ill be down in a minute"

"alright" he says before closing the door

I look around the room once more before taking a deep breath and exiting the room.

.......................................

I walk out of the room and the smell of pancakes instantally fill my nose and i feel my mouth begin to water

"OH Nella, darling, please come, have a seat" she motions me to the table and I slowley oblige. ignoring the urge to correct her on my name.

I take a seat next to Soda who is already attacking the food on his plate.

"would you like some pancakes"

I nod eagerly "yes..please"

She gives me a warm smile before she places a plate of pancakes under my nose. I stare down on it, not knowing weather I should start eating or not.

"Is something wrong?" Marrebell notices discomfort

"oh.. I.. uh.. wasnt sure if you say grace or not"

"oh,, no, but if you do" she trailes off motioning her hand in my direction

"No I just wanted to make sure im not disrespecting anyone"

"Oh hunny dont sweat it, really, dig in"

I smile at her and cut a piece off of the pancake before stabbing it with my fork and placing it in my mouth

My eyes roll back in satasfaction. these pancakes were increadble

"mmm" i grunted while goboling my food

"when was the last time you kids ate?' Marebelle questions

"uhm" he pointed a finger asking her to wait while he swallowed his food " like, Monday?" he faced me and i nodded. "Its wedsnesday" i informed her

"OH, you poor things" Marebelle slouched her shoulders and placed her hand to her heart.

"you know there is a really popoular cafe down the street called Flyy. Alot of kids your age go there. If you're ever hungry and im not home you could just go down there. You know what? you guys go now, get anything you like, My treat" she smiles

"oh no, we couldnt"

"Sure you could, look" she reache out for her wallet and pulls out money "heres 20 bucks get yourself something to eat"

I hesetantly took the 20 and gave her a smile

"Thank you"

she smiled back and motioned her head to the door
