Dan woke up to see the light shining through the window and he could feel the heat from the light of the sun on his face, it felt nice, calming even but that didn't really change that fact that Dan had another bad sleep last night, another nightmare, the same one he has every night. Dan decided to lie in his bed a while longer, enjoying the warmth and comfort of it. Soon however he knew he needed to get up for the day. Although Dan had nothing planed for the day he decided he should go to the bathroom and get washed up, even if he had nothing to get ready for he still got ready. Dan did this everyday because there was a voice on the back of his mind that says,' 'you never know today could be the day'.' 

Dan slowly sat himself up in the bed, and looked around the small room, he was in one of the upstairs rooms, he had one to himself. Dan had a room to himself because he had been here so long, over eight years now, so the staff thought it was better to move him here.  Over the years the once newly painted white walls had turned to a more pale-yellow colour and the wooden floor had a lot of dents and chips in it from when Dan dropped something by mistake. Dan set his feet on the ground and felt the light though of paper under his feet, Dan glanced down to see that he stood on one of the many books that filled the room. Dan sometimes realized that he had more books than friends and chuckled sadly to himself. 

Dan stood up and stretched his arms, sighing contently as he felt more awake, his mussels felt like the were ready to get moving and go on with the day. opening his bedroom door quickly Dan walked out into the hall, it was quiet through out the house so Dan guessed that no one was up quite yet. Although that's not uncommon, Dan is quite an early riser. Dan got himself into the bathroom and locked the door, sighing happily, he liked to take sowers in the morning.

Dan looked at himself in the bathroom mirror to see that he had sweat dripping down his face, He had bags under his eyes that never seemed to go away or fade, he guessed that he as just one of those people who had them naturally if that was possible. 'I better wash' Dan thought to himself, he then striped out of his cloths and stepped into the shower. He turned the water on and set it to a cool setting and Dan sighed with relief and content when the cool water fell down his face and started to cool him down. When Dan is in the shower he likes to take that time to think about thing's.

He thinks about his family sometimes and how he wished thing's where different and that they would change, he thought about school and how he wanted to pass all his classes so he could have a better, bright future. But most of all Dan thinks' about her. Dan wonders if she is okay, or if she is happy, he wonders if she misses him, because Dan really misses her.

Dan had never really made any friends, the other kids just took a disliking to him for some reason they make fun of him and Dan dosen't even understand why 'Maybe they just need someone to take everything out on' Dan thinks, a lot of the kids here come form abusive homes or ever even had a family to start with, in his eyes he guessed that if they have someone to pick on they feel better about that fact that they're all alone. Although another reason may be that Dan became very distant soon after he came here, and never really talked to anyone. Dan can talk he just chooses not to, but it's got to the point where Dan can't really remember the last time he did talk to someone he talks in small sentences or single words but he never really has a real conversation with someone, and for that to even happen Dan has to know the person really well. He dosen't trust other people, he feels threatened by them.

'No wonder no one will adopt me'  Dan thought bitterly. 'Who would want a freak like me' .Dan wished so much that he could have a family, but somewhere deep down inside he knew that would never happen, he never really had anyone before so why would he now? Besides Dan didn't need anyone because he had Jana, the only person who ever talked to Dan nicely. Jana was a bit older that Dan, while Dan is seventeen now Jana is about to turn eighteen and when she dose her time here will be up and she can start a new life. Just like Dan she has no family apart from him. Dan loved Jana like family, well she was his family, she was more than enough for him he loved her like a sister or maybe even a mother because Jana took care of Dan she cared about him and that was a nice feeling.
