I spin the blade inbetween my fingers and the last tear falls down my cheek. I put the blade back in my drawer and look down at my many cuts and bruises formed by me. I roll down my sleeves and open my bedroom door to check if there aren't any children lurking in the corridors. There isn't. I close my door making a big creaking sound behind me. I make my way to the bathroom that is luckily near my room.

When i get there i grab some toilet roll and rinse it under the tap before placing it on my arm. The coldness feels icy and soothing against my cuts and the bleeding stops.

I head back to my room and when i get there my sister Christina is there. I close the door behind me and it creates a bang. I walk over to my sister and give her a hug. As soon as i sit down Mihaela comes in. She runs the home we live in.

"Alana" She says

"Yes" I say facing her

"I have something to tell you" She says in a bit too serious voice.

"Well spit it out then" I snap at her.

"Alana" Christina says to me in a telling off voice even though she's younger than me. Only by 2 years though.

"I have had an offer. Today a nice couple came in said they were looking to adopt an older child"

"Mihaela I told you i can't leave Christina here by herself. I won't go without her."

"I didn't offer you to them. I offered Christina and it's her decision whether she wants to go. Not yours."

"I don't want to go without Alana" Christina says

"Well then... I don't know if they want 2 kids... ... Just talk to eachother about it because Christina might not get another chance to leave this 'hell hole' as you call it. You, Alana, on the other hand are 15 and have to leave here when you turn 16."

I'm going to be 16 in 2 months. Christina and I look at eachother and when i turn back Mihaela's gone.

"You should go." I say to Christina. It might be her only chance and i can't ruin that for her. What kind of sister would that make me?

"I can't leave you alone and you never know they might want 2 kids."

"Mihaela said-"

"Mihaela said she doesn't know" Christina snaps at me. She leaves the room and my many cuts begin their stinging.
