A Broken Girl and Determined Boy

Finding out about the house

First I wanted to apologize for not posting in awhile I will try to keep up on this story alone with my other one but I'm not making any promises.

Derek's POV

Later on that day I went for a walk. As I was walking the cops went flying by me. They ended up going to that house again. I walked down that way and when I got close enough I could see a older lady outside and the cops arresting some guy. There was other kids outside one looked like that girl Alicia. She was being held back by a few guys. Alicia was yelling saying "let him go" and "he ain't do it" and the "bitch is lying". After they got the guy in the car and left, Alicia looked at the girl and said "You lying fuckin bitch" the guys pulled Alicia away and the lady when inside. The 2 guys told Alicia to go for a walk and cool off before she's next. As Alicia walked away from the house she spotted me.

Alicia - What the fuck you looking at?

Me - Nothing just walking by and happened to see what was going on.

Alicia- Yea well its over now so move it the fuck along.

Alicia started to walk the other way and for some reason I followed her. We ended up at the park. She went and sat on the swings and I sat a few swings away. We sat quite for a while.

Me- What happened to your friend what he do?

Alicia- Nothing. That bitch lied to get him taken.

I left it at that I was surprised that she was kinda nice in the response. I don't know why but for some reason I wanted to know her story and find out what really went on in that house. Something told me Alicia needed someone or something. Even if it was someone to just listen. There was more to it then what everyone said. And honestly I wasn't to concerned with what she could do... I still wanted try and help.

Alicia- Why did you follow me anyway.

Me- I don't know thought maybe you'd like to not be alone.

Alicia- Well you thought wrong, I always want to be alone.

She got up and walk back to her place. I went home.

The next day at school I was walking to my locker and some random guy came up to me.

Guy- Hey I'm Chris. You're that guy that went with Alicia yesterday right.

Derek- Yeah I am why.

Chris- I was worried about her yesterday she ain't get in any trouble right? do anything stupid?

Derek- No she was just at the park. What's it to you anyway? What are you like her brother or somehing?

Chris- I live with her. I was one of the guys holding her back yesterday. No we aren't related but we are close.

Derek- What happens in that place why is the cops there every night.

Chris- Well our "parents" are assholes. they hate us and only take us all in for the money...even when they get us locked up they still getting some money for the kids but not as much. They hate us. Do things you wouldn't imagine but for most of us its all we got...some of us snap can't take it anymore..others start isolating themselves. When we don't listen the parents will plant something to get us arrested.

Derek- I thought it was like a adoption thing why don't some of you get out that way?

Chris- No one wants us once they hear what we are like, those people tell such bad stories about us that we will never get adopted and most of us don't want to.

Derek - Why?

Chris- We've been thrown into so many different foster homes, we don't want anymore.

The bell rang and Chris left, and I went to class.
