Tuesday: April 16.

It's raining. How pretty. The grey skies, the claps of thunder, and the sparkling electrics of lightning. How amusing.

It's been a whole year since I got here. Hones Bright Future foster care. A boring place actually. Disgusting food, battered clothing, and unclean. You'd mistake this place for a worn out warehouse if you saw it.

Miguel and I talked for a while then put to work. Both of us. Sixteen and bored. Alone. Untreated. Uncared for. But I've grown on him. It took a while, but I finally got to him.

"Yep! Perry and Sasha seem cool and all. They promised me anything."

"Lucky." I fake pout,

"I know. Here."

"What's this?" I ask staring at the little sheet of paper he gave me,

"My address. If you need anything. I MEAN ANYTHING! You know where to go." For a random reason I start crying. Then I hug him.

"Bye." He says into my hair,
