As the men and women came into the room the younger kids smiled with hope in their eyes that someone would take them away from this nightmare of a place.

I've been here for what?, 7 years. Yeah I for one know that theres no chance anyones gonna adopt a 15 year old street fighter/badass/crack head/reckless bitch. So I made my way out to the backyard and climbed up a very large oak tree. 

When I reached the top I straddled a tree branch and smoked a joint. 

A few minutes later I heard two people below me.

"excuse me why are you up there" said the man below 

"why arn't you in there" I said gesturing to the house were the other kids were laughing and playing with the other adults.

"Whats your name" said the man

"well that doesn't answer my question but i'll answer yours. My names Saphire, you" I replied

"Well hello Saphire my names Mark Black and this is my wife Ava" said Mark

I put the joint away and started climbing back down the tree. Standing face to face with the couple, Ava asked.

"Saphire, why arn't you inside with the rest of the kids"

"Because, who wants to adopt a 15 year old girl when you could have one of those cute little girls inside"

"well my husband and I would much rather adopt and older girl that could take care of herself than a younger child in need of a lot of attention. This may be a bit soon but we would love to adopt you Saphire, would you like to come home with us." Ava asked 

A chance to get away from this place

"I'll go pack my bag" I replied quickley

I ran up to my room I grabed my clothes and my ipod. What it's all I had.

I ran down the stairs screaming 

"See ya bitches, I got adopted and I'm never comming back"

and I swear I heard someone cheer.

I jumped into the black's car, pluged in my head phones and played 'American Idiot by green day'. As the car started I looked outside the window, and watched the house I had lived in for the past 7 years slip away.
