It was a Friday. It had been a long day at school. I go back to the orphanage and flop on my bed.
This orphanage wasn't for a good cause, but only the kids here knew that. It was more like a prison, getting wipped with every wrong we do. But, I'll live. I've survived here all my life. It was torchure. I'm now eighteen, living on this hell hole with my little sister, Jackie.
Jackie came at me with a running start and jumped on my stomach. "AGH.. JACKIE... YOUR SUFFOCATING MEEEE...." I say acting. I played pretend with Jackie a lot, she loves it. "Oh come on I'm not that heavy!" She giggled.
Though, Jackie was 14, she always acted like a kid. Just like me. It was fun, we would play pretend. But what was funnest of all, is watching Youtube. We loved to watch Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, Wade, and Bob play Prop Hunt. It always made me and Jackie laugh.
"So, whacha up to?" She asked. "I was resting.. Until you came around!" I sat up and tickled her. She laughed uncontrollably, I laughed and stopped. "I-- Y-You got m-me there!" Jackie said, out of breath. I smile and rap my arms around her, "I looooove yooooou!" I yell. "I looooooove yoooooooou, toooooooo." She responded, mockingly. I've taught her well.
The rest of the orphanage piled in the room getting into Pj's. I tucked in a Jackie that was already dressed, "Why are you dressed so early?" I asked her, curiously. "Tomorrow we have a family meeting us, and I want to get a goods night rest!" She said cheerfully. "Well ok. Goodnight." I chuckle as she's already asleep, and I kiss her forhead.
A family.. Wow....
I got into my bed and got under the blankets. I pull out my phone and watch some Markiplier and Jacksepticeye play some 'Who's Your Daddy'. I laugh out loud and stop strait away. Cant make noise... I thought.
I put my phone away and turn over. I let the darkness take me as I fall asleep.
~Saturday~
I awoke to the sound of Jackies scream on top of me. I shoot up and jump on my feet. "WHAT- WHERES JACKIE?!" I scream. Jackie giggles behind me as everyone stares at me.
"Eheh.." I laugh awkwardly. Andddd that just got them another reason to tant me. Everyone here hates me.
I grab Jackie and run to the bathroom. "A-Am I in trouble?.." She asked scared. "No you are not, I just was about to have an angsity(Sorry spelling sucks ,_,) attack." I awnser calmly. "I'm sorry.." She spills, I shrug and kiss her forhead.
We get ready and a loud voice comes over the intercom, "ALL ORPHANS RETURN TO THE SEATING ROOM". I pick Jackie up and put her on my shoulders as we walk down the halls.
We get caught, "Ms. Ritt (<-- Meh last name.) What do you think your doing? 10 lashes for both of you!" Mrs. Brown said. Jackie flinched. "No, its my fault. I put her on my shoulders. Im sorry..." I said truthfully.
"20 lashes for you then!" She snarled. I smiled slightly, looking to the side I see to men staring disbelieving at my bravery. One with green hair and another with darker hair. Wait is that.. I start to panic.
I turn around so I dont have to look at them, I took Jackie off my shoulders. Mrs. Brown took me by the ear and pulled me to the torchure room, so I call it.
I came back with fresh scars along my neck. The two men were there, and now with my sister. It had been a while since the acual showing started a while ago. My sister pulled me into a huge hug. I hug back and smile, "Whats going on?" I ask. "They want to ask us some questions!" She said reassuringly, seeing my worried face. "Wait..," I look up at Mark and Jack, "YOU GUYS WANT TO TALK TO ME?!" I screamed. Mark smiled and Jack laughed. "Yes, Im asuming you know who we are?" Mark said. "Hell Yeah!" I shout.

The girl walked to us and her sister, confused. Her sister in braced her. They look at me and scream, "YOU WANT TO TALK TO ME?!" I laugh. Mark asks, "Yes, Im assuming you know who we are?" "Hell Yeah!" She replies. "Guess he's a loud one!," I laugh, "Just like you, Jack." Mark said, laughing.
We take a seat at a table and ask a few more questions. "How long have you been here?" I ask, Her smile quickly faded. "My whole life, same with Jackie." She said, "And she is 18! Im 14!" Jackie quickly added. What a bundle of energy she is. I smile slightly. "What is your name?" Mark said, looking at the blond haired girl. "I-Im Keegan..." She turned his head, obviously shy. "Thats a nice name ye' got!" I say.
She looks at me strait in the eyes. Her green eyes meeting my blue. Her eyes look worn out, tired, and sad. He's been through a lot, I can tell. She smiles then breaks eye contact quickly. Marks eyes fixed on the scared on both, Keegans and Jackies neck. He looked at me and we both nod.

SHIT.. I fucked it up.... Didnt I.....
They walk out of the room to talk to Mrs. Brown. I walk up to the crack in the door and listen in. "Are you sure you want..... Him? He is quiet the trouble maker." Mrs. Brown protests. "Yes." Mark said firmly. What? They wanted... Me?
Mrs. Brown caught me again. "Evesdropping young man?," She boasts, "20 slashes!" "B-But my scars still hurt!..." I cry. "To. Bad." She grabs me by the ear and drags me to the room. I look back at Jack and Mark and they stare. Jackie cried. She wasnt used to me getting wipped often, but I was.
I came back tear stains down my cheek, "I'm sorry Mark, Jack, and Jackie...." I mumble Jackie runs into me, hugging me. I hugged back, chuckling at her concern. Jack then hugged me, then Mark joined.
Finaly what I wanted... A family.
