Chapter 5

   As I begin to open my eyes I see this bright white light. I look around the room but I don't know where I am. I'm on a bed...in a hospital room.

How did I get here?

   I hear a knock on the door and a nurse and a police officer come into the room. I begin to panic and my heart monitor goes off.

"Don't worry, you're not in trouble, Officer Walker is only here to ask you some questions. You passed out in an alley and you have been unconscious for two days now."

"I'm Officer Walker, one of the waitresses of the diner called the police after you passed out. She said you were in the alley looking for food, is that right?"

"Yes"

"How old are you?"

"Fifteen"

"What's your name?"

"Cassandra"

"Lastname?"

   I just shake my head, the less they know about me the better. I don't want them to look into my past.

"Where are your parents?"

"They died a couple of years ago."

"Who have you been staying with?"

   I shake my head again, I can't say anything, I can't risk them finding me.

"Do you have any relatives or someone you can stay with?"

"No"

"Ok that will be it, I'll let you rest."

A couple of hours later.....

  
   There's another knock on the door.

"Hello I'm Ms. Dawson, I run the foster care home here in Boston. You see children enter the foster care system if the state is unable to find a suitable placement within the family. Officer Walker told me you don't have any family, So as soon as you get discharged here you will be leaving with me."

   I try to process what she's saying but it's too much, she's taking me to a foster home? I wonder how that's going to be? It can't be any worse than where I was.

"You will be placed in a foster home until you reach eighteen and from there you are free to leave. You will be attending school and you are free to do certain things as long as it is within curfew. You will be living with other kids who are in the same situation as you. But don't worry everyone gets along fine and they will help you if you need anything.

I just stare at her and nod.

Two days later.....

   I was finally discharged from the hospital, in total I had to have six stitches in my head, had bruised ribs and had swelling on some parts of my body with a minor concussion.

   Im both excited and kind of nervous to be leaving the hospital, I'm going to a foster home. Right now I'm in the car with Ms. Dawson, she keeps trying to ask me questions about my family but I don't respond, and I never will.

   As we reach the house she leads me inside and she begins to walk up the stairs and opens one of the doors to a giant room. I head inside and I take a look around and it has many small beds in it.

"This is where you will stay, all the girls stay here. Everyone here is very welcoming, If you have any questions ask Diana, she will gladly help you. Right Diana?"

"Of course I will" she smiles and nods.

"I will let you guys get to know each other, I'll check in with you later."

   As soon as Ms. Dawson closes the door, I am pushed to the wall slamming my back on the door. When I look up, I see it's that girl.....Diana.

"Listen up Bitch, I don't care about your sad little story or why you're here. Just stay the fuck out of my way and we won't have a problem. If you think about snitching on me, we can all make your life a living hell here, Do you understand?"

"Yes"

   She walks over me along with her friends and heads out the door. Then I'm left alone in the room.

Fuck I can't catch a break
