Dear Diary,
Ok sorry. Had to pack a little more. Back to the story.. Where was I?
Oh. Right. We found our mom at Chloe's house.
Josh said, "Mom?"
"Who are you guys? Blondie? We've got some strange kids that showed up at your house.."
We heard footsteps and Christi pushed our mom out of the way.
"Kids! Come in, what happened?"
"Maybe we should be asking you.." Paige managed to get the words out.
"Your mom showed up here and had no idea who Me, Chloe, or Clara were. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU GUYS? YOU LOOK AWFUL! PAIGE & JOSH, WHY ARE THERE BRUISES ALL OVER YOU?"
Josh and Paige both broke down. They were both unable to speak
"Our dad.. Hit them. Paige and Joshua came home late from a party late and he punched them" I answered for them
"I wonder if that's what happened to your mom.. she can't seem to remember anything. I wonder if she has any damage to her head. Well, obviously."
We all started crying. Christi decided she'd leave the three of us with Chloe and Clara while she drove our mom to the hospital, then to the police department to explain the situation with your dad.
Christi ended up being there all night, and when we woke up in the morning our mom was permantatly in the hospital, and our dad was in jail.
We began to wonder what would happen to us. The Lukasiaks couldn't adopt us because they couldn't handle three extra kids financially, and they didn't have the space in their house, anyway.
I almost blacked out when I heard the words "Foster Care" come out of Christi's mouth when she was on a phone call.
Which brings me to where I am now, packing everything and anything I can fit into this zebra print rolling suitcase.
Love,
BMH
