Florida Boys

I ran from my burning house. Everything I ever loved, gone. Including my parents and my brother. When I got home there were flames blazing out of the windows. I should have known better then to run into a burning building, but I needed to make sure that my parents and my brother were out. I found them huddled up in a corner, passed out, with fames all over them, Their burnt flesh was bloody red. There was no way they were alive, I could feel the heat radiating from their skin.

So here I am, Sitting in an ambulance, waiting for my mother's friend Brenda to come take me. I guess I should be happy that I don't have to live in a foster home. Before my brother and I were born, my mother made Brenda promise that if anything ever happened to them she would take care of us. So now she is keeeping her promise from 15 years ago, and bringing me into a house, with 7 boys. It might as well be a foster home with that many kids in the house.

We would visit them every few years or so, but we stoped when they moved to Florida becuase of Mr. Smith's work. The had 4 kids then; Chris, Ash, Peter, and Seth. My mother said a year later that they had had twins, Andrew and John. Finally 5 years later, they had their last son Noah.

Thinking of all the boys made me miss my brother so much. He was 3 years younger then me and was a pain in the ass, but right now I missed him more then anything in the world.

Before I knew it, I was crying my heart out, and nobody cared. The police were too busy trying to find out the cause of the fire, and the fire departement were too busy trying to get my family's bodies out without damaging them. Like it mattered, they were so beat up from the flames.

Brenda should be here soon. She and my mother were going to have a girls weekend. The police had already callled her to tell her what happened, and that she could take care of me, or I could go to a foster home. She, of course, said that I was to come live with her and the rest of her family.

Just then a red pontiac sun fire pulled up beside the ambulance. I knew right away that it was Brenda. But then a boy got out of the car too.

"Oh Bree! I'm so sorry!" Brenda said as she hugged me. I could tell she had been crying. I guess she caught me looking at the boy, because she stoped hugging me and introduced me.

"Oh yes, Bree do you renember Peter? He was going to stay at a friends house here while I stayed with your mum, but I think now we are just going to go home. I have to go talk to the chief, I'll be back in a minute." She said walking up to the head police officer.

"Long time, no see." He said with a smirk.

I ignored him and walked into the back seat of the car.

"look, I'm really sorry about your parents and your brother." He said sincerely as he followed me to the car

"Yeah, you and me both." I muttered.
