Ross walks you up to the barn door and turns on the lights. You start to breath harder and your heart beats faster. "Ok. This is our stable. It's filled with 20 horses and-" He starts. "Um Ross? Do you think we could do this tomorrow? I'm kinda tired." You say, getting nervous. "Um..yeah..sure." Ross answers a little bothered. You turn around and walk back to the house, leaving Ross in the dark. You walk into the living room to see everyone sitting around a table, with a deck of cards and ice cream. "Hi sweetie. Did Ross show you the barn?" Stormie asks, smiling. "No." You answer. "Oh, well, do you want to join us for some dessert and a game of cards?" Stormie invites. "No, I'm just gonna go upstairs." You answer and turn to the stairs. You walk into your room and close the door, walking to your bed. You reach for the small backpack, the only bag that you were allowed to bring, and pull out a small picture frame. You turn it over in your hands and see your mom'a smiling face, your dad's arms around the her, and you, laughing. It's amazing how things could fall apart so fast. One minute you had them. The next you were alone.

You trace your fingers over your parents' faces. You could hear voices downstairs. "Why does she have to be here?" One of the boys says. "Yeah I mean she's kinda creepy. And really dark. Why doesn't she speak?" Another voice adds. "Dude, cut her some slack she's probably been through a lot." Ross says. "Yeah Ross is right. She's in a new place and doesn't know any of us." Rydel agrees. You shudder and stand, walking to the dresser. You lay your eyes on all of Rydel's bracelets. Just like you used to have. There are gold ones, silver ones, string ones, rainbow ones... The door cracks open and you jump a little. "Hey." Says Rydel, and you look up. "Do you like those?" She asks. "Sorry..I was just uhh..." You stammer. "Don't be sorry. Which one's your favorite?" She asks you. You look down at the big pile of jewelry. "Umm..well this one is really pretty." You answer, pointing to a small silver one with a dazzling heart on it. "Ooo or this one... Actually no I like this one...but this one.. Haha oops I guess I like all of them." You say smiling and Rydel laughs. She picks up the silver heart one and clips it around your wrist. "Here. You have it. It's not like I don't have enough already." Rydel states and you smile. "Really? Thanks!" You exclaim, admiring the small piece of metal on your arm. "Alright, well I'm gonna head to bed. I'm pretty tired." Rydel says. "Yeah okay." You walk over to your bed and crawl under the covers as Rydel does the same. "Good night Olivia." She whispers and you smile. This might just work. You think and close your eyes.
