Prologue

Beth POV

   I had just seen my entire family shot. Right in front of my own eyes. I jumped over the leather seat thinking this only happens in the movies. I started running in zigzags out of the room, down the stairs, and out the front door.
   I screamed, running through the neighborhood until I heard sirens, and before I knew it, I saw the mystery person in handcuffs, and forced into the squad car.
I'm Beth Ericsson, and this is my story.

Gabbie POV

I was staring at the screen as I watched Shane's video: "I ADOPTED A CHILD!" thinking wow. I wish I had thought of that. He's so smart. Wait. What if I did that for real? Oh wait. They would probably hate me anyways...

Beth POV

   Some lady was coming to my neighbor's house to see me today, and ask me some questions. I heard the annoying chime of their fancy doorbell. There she is. I heard her come upstairs to me. We sat in their game room, and she asked me some basic questions like "What happened?" and "How do you feel?" Which, to the latter, I replied with "How do you think I feel? Happy?" The other one I wasn't able to answer without crying. Then her last question: "I think you're not safe here. Where would you like to relocate to?" I answered, "I don't know... um... LA? In California?" "Ok," the lady said. Then I thought about my relatives. "What about my grandparents?" I asked. "Your parents' will said that living with relatives is just weird," she responded, "well, see you tomorrow to take you to the airport!" She left the neighbors' house and drove away.

I had just gotten to the girls' home with my raggedy patch backpack when a lady shook my hand and guided me to a room. There was a girl inside already. "Hi, I'm Jaz," she said, " you sleep over there. I can't wait for us to become friends!"
But as soon as the nice lady left the room, she smirked at me and said, "You're gonna be fun. I can't wait!"
