Being released like the many times before this. But this time it was different this time I had nothing. Just the clothes on my back and the stuff I came here in. When I got outside the doors I saw a female police officer. She had long blonde hair and was in her uniform. Was I in trouble was I being sent to jail? I am only 14. I need to get my stuff form the my last home.

What am I going to do. Is she my new foster mom? Will they hate me. Oh god my scars my hair loss oh god this can't be good. What if they send me back to a mental hospital. What if they find out. How will I survive like this.

"This is Luna." My case worker Bill told the lady.

"Hello Luna my name is Stef. Are you ready to leave here?" Stef asked me.

"Uh sure." I spoke With that we got in the car.

"So Luna what do you like to do?" Stef asked. I stayed silent

"Okay you don't want to talk at all that's fine." She kind of muttered to her self. We sat in silence the rest of the way.

We drove for about 20 minutes before we came to a stop in the drive way of a normal two story house. We walked in and I was led to the dinning area Their sat another women but she had slightly darker skin than Stef. She also had black curly hair she was very pretty. I also saw 5 other children sitting around the table. It makes sense it is a Sunday afternoon. Their were three boys and two girls not counting Stef or the one with curly hair.

"Luna this is Lena my wife and then these are our other children." Stef told me.

"Hi I'm Brandon." The oldest looking boy said.

"Callie." A girl with wavy brown hair said she seemed nice.

"I'm Mariana." A Latina girl spoke up.

" Hey i'm Jesus." a Latina boy said they must be twins.

"I'm Jude it's nice to meet you." The youngest one said.

"Hi I'm Luna." I spoke up.

"Well let's eat." Stef spoke up.

"I'm not hungry." I told them.

"Come on and eat." Lena urged.

"I'm not hungry. I had a large breakfast." I lied.

"Oh okay then. Your welcome to be in the back or in the lounge room." Stef said.

"I will be in the back." I said and walked out the door.

They already trust me. That won't last long. I went and sat around the side where they couldn't see me from and pulled up my sleeve to see all the healed or stitched up cuts and scars on my arms tracing each and every one of them with a finger. It was like I was in a trance.

I was like that for probably 30 minutes before I heard foot steps. I quickly pulled down my sleeves and looked up to see all 7 of them.

"Did I do something wrong?" I asked tensing up waiting to be hit.

"No not at all. Why would you think you did something wrong Luna?" Lena asked me.

"No reason." I lied again.

"We were just getting ready to play a game. Would you like to join us?" Jude asked

"What game?" I asked

"Twister." Jude replied

"I'm good no thank you, but I will watch." I told them Their are two very bad things that can happen during twister. 1 My scars show 2 my wig could fall off and they could see my patches of missing hair. I subconsciously rub a spot on wig.

"Is something wrong Luna?" Lena asked me

"Nothings wrong." I said and walked inside and to the living room. Their I saw a piano. I wonder who plays. I took my seat on the couch and watched as everyone had so much fun. I can't have fun I have to much wrong with me. I must have gotten lost in though because I was pulled from my thoughts by someone grabbing my arm to pull me up. Ripping my arm from their grasp I stood up and bolted to the other side of the room while trying to see if stitches were ripped open. Luckily for me nothing was put of place. Or so I thought.

"Hey what happened your hair it looks different." Callie said.

Reaching up I gently fixed my wig and sat down sliding down the wall to the floor.

"Whats wrong."Stef asked while her and Lena came to sit in front of along with the rest if the family.

"I just don't like to be touched I guess." I lied.

"Luna will you please tell us what is going on?" Stef asked me again.

"When can we go and get the rest of my things from my last home. Their are a few things i can't live without their?" I asked trying to change the subject.

"We can go and get them right know as a whole family." Lena told all of us. "Come on let's go." She said holding her hand out for me to grab. She pulled me up and off we went to get the rest if my stuff.

Everyone was really quite which seemed to be weird for these people. As we drove closer and closer to the house where my stuff is Callie started tense up and was almost having a panic attack. It was just me and her back here.

"Callie calm down okay. Look at me. Good. Deep Breaths In Out. In Out. Breath with me." I spoke gently to get her to stop hyperventilating. It worked and she calmed down really quick.

"Thanks Luna."

"No problem Callie." We pulled up to the curb and Me Stef and Lena got of the car. As we walked up towards the door Callie came running up to us.

"I can't let her face him alone." She told Stef and Lena.

"Why not Callie?" Stef asked her.

"Because this is Liams House I just can't let her face him alone. Not like I had to." She spoke.

"Okay." Lena spoke.

With that Lena knocked on the door. When the door was opened their stood Liams mother the one who caused my whole mess.

"Oh you brought the little emo child back." Liams mother taunted

"No we are here to get her stuff so if you Would please step aside we can be in and out in a short amount of time." Stef said.

By this time my case worker Bill must have shown up and was telling her to move her ass so I can be placed in my new foster home. She moved and we were able to get my stuff with no trouble at all.
