I push the door open and my mouth drops to the floor

present:

the room I stepped into was huge, and I mean really huge. it had large windows covering one side of the room, and big beautiful curtains hanging on the sides. the bed was a kingsize bed but it wasn't even covering half of the space in the room. there were a lot of places to hide stuff. that especially spoke to me, because I have some stuff that I don't want to show to the foster family. that stuff is usually photographs of my life before the accident. when I show those pictures to the family's, they act all sympathetic. I don't want that, I don't want sympathie or a look of remorse. I just want a foster family that treats me like a normal girl, not like some girl who can't do anything else than being a pity. I already liked the room, but I told myself that I shouldn't get attached to it because as soon as I was all moved in, I move away again. ''dinner's ready'' someone shouted from below. because of the sound of that voice I'm guessing it was lily. I quickly changed into something comfortable and not smelling of a long car ride and went down. when I got down the table was neatly made and there was already some food lying on the table. I chose a chair to sit in and waited for the rest to come to. and indeed a few seconds later a guy voice I never heard before comes closer. ''yeah I'm telling you lil, it really happened.'' yeah sure D.'' the voice I recognized as lily's answered. ''why do you never believe me lil I'm telling the-'' he stopped midsentence when he entered the room and saw me sitting there on the chair. just when he was about to ask something another girl I never saw came in threw the front door. she didn't care that I sat there, she probably didn't even see it. she just went op the stairs and a door closing could be heard a few seconds later. then the parents came in and brought more food with them to set on the table. the guy was still frozen in place staring at me. ''Gaby we know you home come down to eat, dinner's ready'' I heard a door opening and closing and then footstep on the stairs. everyone sat on a chair except for Gaby. who glared at me and then said: ''who are you. you're sitting in my chair, go away'' I just stared at her in confusion, did her parents not tell her about fostering me. I was so deep in thought that I didn't hear lily. so she kicked my shins lightly and repeated it.''don't mind Gaby she's just being rude.'' ''i'm being rude. there's a stranger in our house sitting by our table in my chair'' she said angrily. ''oh, sorry I just did it again, sorry Paris.'' Shelby said quickly. ''what did you do mom?'' the still nameless guy asked ''well when Paris came in I totally forgot to introduce myself and now I completely forgot to introduce her to you.'' ''oh but that's okay mom just do it now'' lily said. ''oh yes thank you lily, um so Gaby and Dolan this is Paris the girl I told you about, an Paris these are Gaby and Dolan my two other kids.'' I got the writing block that I took from my room and quickly wrote on it: ''So you're the one I should never wake up when your sleeping unless I want to die'' I ripped it off and slid it to the guy who I now know that is called Dolan. he read the note and started laughing really loud. ''yes that's me I suppose'' he chuckled. ''what does it say?'' mark asked. ''it says: so you're the one I should never wake up unless I want to die.'' everyone laughed at that even with Gaby there was a small smile, bit when she saw that I was looking that quickly disappeared and her glare appeared again. ''okay that was funny ha ha, but this Paris girl is still sitting in my chair.'' ''Gaby you don't even have a chair and if you would have a chair it would not be the one Paris is on but the chair that is now still empty. you always sit in that place so why would you want to sit in the chair where Paris is sitting.'' Dolan said. ''no Dolan not you to'' ''well yes Gaby, I am I like Paris. and she already knows me.'' I smiled at him and wrote thank you on the paper before I slid it to him. he returned the smile and then a frown appeared on his forehead. ''how did you know about the sleeping actually?'' I pointed at lily with an innocent face. Dolan quickly got up and chased lily who ran away the moment I pointed at her. you could hear the screams and the laughter of the tow wrestling and tickling. ''guys come back dinner is getting cold.'' Shelby said. mark had convinced Gaby to sit somewhere else and even offered his own place. Gaby gladly took Mark's place and mark just sat on the other empty spot that was left. Dolan came back in with lily under his arm in a sort of strangle hold. he then let her go and sat on his own place across mine, mark sat next to me, Shelby was at the head of the table, lily was next to Dolan's right and Shelby was at Dolans left. and then we said our praise and ate. and somewhere in the middle of our dinner Gaby asked a question that made everyone hold their breath and mad me frozen in place with a throbbing pain in my throat. ''so Paris, who killed your mom?''

hey my lovely readers,

i'm sorry it has been such a long time before I updated. school has been really challenging this past few weeks and it's not even at his hardest. I have a different kind of school-system and normally i'm out at about 15:00 but last week I had a day when I started at 8:30 and wasn't done until 18:00. but I can promise you that I will try my hardest to make a better schedule so I can at least update once a week hopefully more. but I can't do that if you don't have faith in me so I ask to have faith in me that I will update more often. love,
