When I woke up the next morning it was to the sound of the elevator doors opening. I got up from my bed and walked into the closet to get dressed.

After getting dressed I dressed my hair and did the other fun morning things before walking down to the main floor to see Murr and Q sitting on the couch. "Hello."I said sitting on the couch with them. "Good Morning sleepy head."Q said. "Hey, it's not my fault that the bed in my room is better than the one at the home."I said. They nodded. "What ever you say shorty."Q said getting up. "Hey I'm not short. I'm 5' 11 and still growing thank you vary much."I said. "She's taller than you Q."Murr said smiling as he got up from the couch. I then stood up to show them that I was taller than Q.
"The same as you."Q said to Murr. Wait, am I the same height as Murr. "How tall are you?"I asked. "Same as you."Murr said. I nodded. "Anyway, you might need something to eat."Murr said. "I'm fine. I had a big lunch yesterday that I'm still full from."I lied. I wasn't hungry and I did have a free big lunch yesterday.
Murr nodded. "Wait, you need something to eat. I mean that was yesterday."Q said. I looked at the ground. "Wait, Are you lying to us Emma?"Murr asked. I started to walk away. "Emma, you have to talk to us."Q said. I started to run. I ran until I locked myself in my room. I sat in front of my door so no one could walk into the room.
I took deep breath and stayed there. "Emma, can you please open the door?"Q asked. "No."I said. I heard him sit down on the other side. "Can you please talk to us?"Q asked. "How do I know that I can trust you?"I asked. "You don't know, but were family now."Q said. I nodded and started to cry. "Em, are you okay?"Q asked. "Why did my parents leave me?"I asked. "I don't know, but you have us."Q said. I nodded as I started to feel tears falling down my face.
"Emma, we're home!"Sal yelled. I stayed in my room. "What's going on?"Joe asked from outside the door. "Nothing just talking to Emma."Q said. "Alright, we'll leave her stuff right here."Joe said. "Can I come in?"Q asked. I got up from the door and opened it. I nodded and let him come in.
He closed the door behind him. "Why didn't you eat?"Q asked. "I'm sorry."I said crying. "Hey you don't have to cry. I just want to know."Q said hugging me. "I'd give my food to the little kids I'd wouldn't eat much and I got used to it."I said hugging him back. He nodded. "It's okay. Just try to eat more okay."Q said. I nodded. "Anything else you want to tell me?"Q asked. "Not at the moment."I said. He nodded. "Well, Joe and Sal have some stuff in the hallway for you."Q said pulling away.
I nodded and opened the door to grab the bags. The rest of the day was me unpacking all the stuff Joe and Sal got me and just hanging out in my room until I fell asleep.
