        I still cry at night...though he showed me he cared at least a little, I still cry at night until I fall asleep, wiishing to never wake up. I don't want to be here, I wanna go home.

"We all do Josalie! But sometimes home isn't meant for us!" Forb frustratedly shouted at me.

"Maybe for you!" I angrily stated through gritted teeth. "Unlike you mom and dad love me and ca-" I was rudly cut off by the force of Forbs hands grabbing my face.

"Go fuck yourself!" He spat, bitter and heartless.

"What if Justin beats me to it?" I sassed.

"Why should I care?!? Huh!? I never loved you Josie, you are nothing." There it was. Those three words I've been dreading my whole life since that day...

"Come find me Forb! Count to ten first brother!" My squeaky voice shouted, filled with joy and giggles. "Okay sis, but don't hide to far!" Forb said through covered eyes. "Ugh! I know, I know, dad says it all the time, 'Don't go to far! Stay by the garbage can!' Gosh it's annoying." I mocked followed by a high pitched giggle coming from my dear brother. I slowly tipped towed over towards the trees...

1.

In opposite direction from the garbage can...

2.

Keeping eyes on Forb...

3.

Not paying attention to where i was going...

4.

Noticing a small branch in my far vision...

5.

I tried to step over it...

6. My shoelace getting caught on it, that was when i turned my attention to my footsteps...

7.

Turns out it was to late...

8.

I was tumbling to the floor, my screams stopping Forbs counting...

"Josie!" He shouted out rushing to my aid. "Josie I told you not to go over here! That's was to far! Why are you so stupid?!?" Forb shouted at me...making me feel oh so low, "I-I'm sorry" I cried. "I don't care. You are nothing."

"F-Forb!" I whimpered as he removed his hand from ny face...I gasped for air and quickly brought my shaky fingers to my throbbing face.

"Josie...I-I'm sorry...I didn't mean to-I was-I..." he sighed... "I'm sorry." He told me...desperately. 

"Leave me alone." I whispered barley audible but loud enough for him to hear.

"Yeah um...okay." he said leaving me alone.

I sighed, bringing my hands to my face... "Are you okay Lovely?" I heard Justin say behind me.

"Why in the fucking world would I ever be okay?" I snapped.

"Hey don't use profanity. I was just trying to help."

"Sorry but I wouldn't want your help if my life depended on it." I told him.

"You know what Josalie? Do you just want be to get mad? Do you want me to punish you? Because I'm not afraid to do so! So just keep testing me!" Justin said sternly to my face. I wont lie he scared the shit out of me! But i wasn't going to show that. I have to be strong.

"I'm sorry, did I say I cared?" I was standing by this time, directly in front of him.

He took a deep breath, turning his head for a moment as if he was processing what I just said.

I watched as if this was in slow motion, he raised his fist and the next thing I know is that I hit the porcelain floors so quickly. I scurried away from him as fast as possible, aching with pain.

I am truly sorry for my absence you guys I have been so booked but I'm back now so no need to worry. I love you guys -a
