I slammed the door shut throwing my plastic bag over my shoulder. Pulling my hood up again. I leaned against it waiting for Mark and Emily to finish getting out.

"Welcome to your new home!" Emily exclaimed throwing her hands up to the house in front of me. It was big to me at least and exact copy of all the ones we just drove past.

The front door swings open a girl slightly taller than me comes out, a fluffy german Shepard following her out. "Hey!" She exclaimed and went to hug me. I tensed slightly.

Oh no she's a hugger. Mark came around putting his arm over her shoulders.

"Bailey this is Ashley our daughter, Ashley this is Bailey." I took this as a chance to get a good look at Ashley my new 'sister'. She stood smiling at me.

Same height as her mom, her dads green eyes and Emily's blond hair. Her style almost like every other teen but way less revealing. Her makeup natural, not my style.

I nodded at her doing my usual salute.

"Oh this is Cooper, you like dogs right?" She pointed towards the dog sat impatiently behind her tail wagging.

I eyed him. "Uh Yh I don't mind them..." I've had a few bad experiences with them. I crouched down opening my arms. He came wiggling into my arms licking my face.

I scrunched my face up petting him. Getting back up they smiled at me. "Ok then let's get you settled." Emily clapped her hands and I followed them all in.

It was cute I guess better than my apartment I knew that for sure. I followed Emily upstairs, entering the second door on the right.

"Hope you like it... you can always change it up and make it more yours." I looked around at the light and dark grey room.

"It's good." I nodded putting my stuff down.

"So I was wondering we can go to the shops and get you some school stuff and more clothes, since you don't have many. Either today or tomorrow?" She suggested to me.

"Today, get it out of the way. Want me to use my money?" I ask lifting my envelope up.

Shaking her head "oh no no! We are in charge of you and will get you your supplies and clothes, save it and treat yourself!" She smiled at me. "I'll uh wait for you downstairs then?"

I nod as she walks out the room saying a small thank you. Closing my door slightly I look around my new room. I shoved my money under my mattress. Grabbing my bag I poured all the clothes and makeup onto my bed.

Leaving my clothes there I grabbed my makeup putting it on my desk I quickly did it. I have no idea how I survived a year without any of this!

I put on my full face. Including a brown smokey eye. My signature look that everyone knew me for back home was my somewhat intense wing, and my dark red lipstick.

I brushed my hair and got up heading downstairs. When I came down everyone gave me a double look eventually brushing it off.

"I love your hair colour is it natural?" I internally roll my eyes at Ashley trying to get a conversation started by commenting on my black hair. I wasn't in the mood for one like usual.

"No it isn't." I state still looking out the window.

"Oh? What is it if you don't mind me asking?" Emily perked up.

"Brown." We pulled into a parking lot all three of us getting out. Emily looked at me as if she wanted me to take my hood off. Ignoring her I walked through the doors first.

"So what's your style if it's like mine we could g-" I cut her off not realising how rude it was straight away.

"It's not." I muttered. She smacked her lips together awkwardly , heading towards Emily. I joined.

"Ok go wild! Well not too wild, I'm not made of money!" Emily exclaimed as we headed into a store.

A few hours later we walk out. On our way home.

"What I want to know Ashley is how on earth did you spend more than Bailey and get less things then her?" Ashley shrugged not knowing herself.

"I've got it wired in my head choosing good cheap stuff." I shrugged earning a scowl from Ashley.

"You get everything then Bailey?" I nodded watching the houses and trees go by.

"Hey B I was wondering if you wanna meet my friends we can give you the deets on school tomorrow." Ashley faced me from the front. Still not looking at her I shrugged slightly.

"Sure whatever, how many?" I asked her.

"Oh all together including me there's 5 of us not too many." I nodded my head slowly.

Eventually we get home, Cooper jumping up at me I shrugged him off patting his head. I jog upstairs into my room putting half my clothes away before sitting down a moment taking it all in.

So... this is my life now.

A few minutes later there's a knock at my door and Mark enters. He moved my chair sitting on it facing me placing his forearms on the back.

"I was wondering if I could talk to you about earlier and a few other things." I nodded crossing my legs.

"I'm sorry for what I said about your family but I will not stand you talking to me or my wife like you did." I sighed nodding. 'They aren't my family' I thought to myself

"I'm sorry I was pissed off at my parents and I guess I felt very judged by the both of you looking down on my home." I said tightly hating apologies.

"It's ok... I understand you've had a hard, difficult life but we want to change that give you opportunities you wouldn't of had so please try with us." I nodded at him letting him know I was actually listening to him.

"So just a few rules along with the ones you were given. You must be home for 7pm everyday depending on how things go we will loosen up as time goes on. If your going out we must know where and who with... which is why I'm giving you this phone." He hands me the latest iPhone I look up at him in shock shaking my head.

He rolls his eyes. "Take it then."

"I- I can't take that it's way too much-" he cuts me off by shoving it in my hands.

"Just take it Bailey it's my way of taking care of you by knowing where you are and if you are ok." I nodded giving up.

"Stay out of trouble and stay in school we've heard of your habits Bailey." He gave me a pointed look making me smirk slightly quickly hiding it.

"Did I just see the famous Bailey Ford smirk all those officers talked about?" He gave me an amused look. I narrowed my eyes slightly at the fact of the officers talking about me. Bet they had some stories.

"I'll try, my best Mark" I spoke flatly.

"You better or I'll take you to the station with me." I looked at him.

"Your a police officer?" I stared quite shocked earning another amused  look. He nodded getting up.

"Make sure you get some sleep. Dinner will be ready later if you want some." He walked out shutting the door.

Sighing I changed into some joggers and a large top. I flopped on my bed. Sorting my new phone out making an album straight away filled with my favourite songs.

Deciding to skip on food I went to bed. Not looking forward to the next few days.
