*this was the original for county fair pt 1 & I just realized I didn't include the context that was in this draft to the one I published* so

Earlier that day during the fair...
Emma's pov
Today is the day of the county fair, Mary Margaret and the rest of her committee have worked so hard to make this happen. At first I wasn't going to go but Ruby said she'd be there and I literally have nothing else better to do this weekend. I put on my red flannel (opened) with a black crop top underneath ,ripped jeans and my converses. I grab my phone to call ruby but she doesn't answer...weird, but she'll probably call me back soon. "Hey emma" says Mary Margaret."Hey Mary Margaret" "Emma I told you you can call me mom" she gives me a warm smile  and her words are light, she is trying not to pressure me  I think she just wants me to know that I am a permanent member of this family. Parts of me feel like I am but I am always waiting for the worst, the Nolan's have been taking care of me for 2 years now btw. I can't believe I was only 16 when I met them, they were a great 17th birthday present.

Flashback 2 years ago..

It was a cold winter that year , I don't remember feeling anything but pain and cold. Not even fear, I knew exactly what was coming every single time. This was my 5th foster home, it wreaked of alcohol , cheap perfume & cigarette buds. At the time I had lived with 8 other kids. Three of them belonged to the foster "parents" & the rest of us were strays. There were these 2 little boys who were the most annoying kids in the world when they first got there they were loud & breaking things by accident. Nothing like Jasper who never made a peep. There was this little girl named willa who followed me everywhere and this older kid named Chase and then there was her... Her name was Scarlet L. Page .  She was the only other person their that was close to my age so, naturally, we became close. Life at the foster home started off as the shitty run of the mill, no privacy, being treated like shit & utter hatred towards the world nightmare but I still had hope, I don't know why but that hope is what kept me going. One day Scar & I were up in the attic talking, a little blonde hair fell across my pale skin and she gently placed it behind my ear. And then...then thats when the bad stuff started to happen. She kissed me and I was shocked but I kissed her back. For once, Jasper made a peep. Actually it was a loud scream and Lily and I automatically jumped and went to 2 different sides of the room. " WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SCREAMING FOR?" He turned to us before he realized it was Jasper. "uh...umm.." he immediately went right back into his shell.  Then tweedle dee and tweedle dumb came and said " I saw Emma and Scarlett  kissing" " No you didn't I did, Turd!" "Low life!" Then the 2 chubby twins started wrestling like barbarians. "Oh so you two think you can be a bunch of sapphos in my house? MY HOUSE. A bunch of lezzies and I didn't even know it, I bet I can make you change your mind." He said looking at me pervertedly. Thats when Scar punched him on the face & there was this big thud that shook the whole house as this man fell down on the cold creeky attic floor.  When he was about to get up the twins bumped into a vase and he yelled at them... we took this as our opportunity to run. We ran so far away from the house until we could barely feel our legs anymore. "What do we do now? " Scar asks.  "We keep running." Emma says looking back at the last foster home she ever hoped to be in. When suddenly she gets hit by a car.
