I woke up to my alarm clock blasting music in my ear. Sure it was panic! at the disco but it was still unpleasant.
I rolled over to the side of my bed and looked out the window.

"Another day mom huh?" I say picking up my frank Santra record I got from my foster mother last year and played I'm a fool to love you. I pick out some close a jean jacket and a dress and a head band with cat ears on it.

"Morning Dodie" Cara my foster mother smiles at me as she opens the door. "Breakfast is down stairs if your up for it?" I nod. "Yeah hold on" I put some socks on Turing the record player off and walking down the stairs.

"Morning Dodie" Cara's boyfriend smiles at me. I didn't like him. I never like him.well I used to then he snuck in my room one night whale I was sleeping and Cara wasn't home. Then he took something from me. Something I can never get back.

But that's a different story. Cara smiled at me as if she new something I didn't.
"Why are you so happy?" I laugh picking at my food. She giggles. "No reason." She hops her her boyfriend and hugs him.
"I'm not very hungry"

I walk to my room and Cara smiles. "I'm going out for a little bit David is going to watch you" I nod running to my room and locking my door. I didn't trust David. I didn't trust most people because of what he did to me. I packed a small bag of food and such and watch Cara leave the drive way. I roll down the window and climb down the side. I walk to the park which was only around the corner and sat down on the swing.

I sat there wishing my life was normal and not going to parks to hide from my rapists.
Then stood Raina and Julie. "The hell are you doing here dodume."

Raina laughs. "Wow your name calling is so original" he takes my bag. "What's this" she picks up my necklace my mom gave me. "Oh this is nice I think I'll keep it" I stand up.

"No" she laughs. "What do you mean no" I push her and grab it "I said no my mom gave it to me" he laughs. "Oh cry baby can't your mother buy you another one"

Tears almost fell from my eyes and I scream. "She can't she is dead you dumbass" I grab my bag and run back to the house. They watched laughing as I ran home in tears. I climbed up the side of the house and as I'm walking in there's a knock on the door. "Who is it!" I wipe my tears away. "Cara, open the door!" I open the door and she hugs me.

"What's going on?" I ask. She jumps "You my dear girl have been adopted" she hands me a envelope.

"Dear ms.sky

We are happy to say you have been adopted! You will be getting on a plane to L.A July 19 at 7:00am you will be picked up by a man named Mr.hall. We hope you love your new home

The New York adoption agency."

I scream and jump. "Oh my god, thank you Cara so much" I hug her and she smiles. "Your leaving tommorow so you might want to start packing. I nod. "I'll leave you to it" she nods. I smile and pick up my suitcase. And pack my bags putting my record player in a bag and putting my ukulele in its case.

I fall on my bed and for a moment I think everything is turning around. Then my door opened.
