"Ashley! Wake up and pack up.... Hurry up pack everything nothing is to be left."
What? Why am I packing? Whatever I'm not trying to get hit. I packed every single piece of clothing, jewelry and shoes I had. Which was not a lot at all. I had barely five outfits, but wore the same shoes everyday. Just so I could get through the week.
"I'm done!" I yelled to the living room.
No answer.
They are gone. Already? Its only 10 in the morning. Whatever they are never home.
I'm used to it.
But why did they want me to pack? Am I going somewhere? What if we are all taking a vacation! No they wouldn't do that. Last time they went on vacation I wasn't invited.
*knock on the door*
I opened the front door and a police officer was standing there.
"Ashley? Ashley McClaren?"
"That is me."
"Hi Ashley. I'm Officer Peter. Are your bags ready?"
"Yes they are in my room."
"Thank you.. You can go get in the car."
"Okay..."
Am I in trouble? Did I do something? Im never out how would I do anything?
I listened and got in the car. I waited a few seconds and Peter walked out with my two bags. He placed them in the trunk and got in.
"Am I in trouble? Because I promise I didn't do anything at all."
"No of course your not in trouble. You were not told what is going on were you? Well you are being taken from your parents by the state. You are being placed in a new home with a new family. Now don't you worry. They are a nice family that would never ever hurt you. Do you understand?'
"Yeah I guess."
"Good."
We pulled up to a drive way to a huge house. That was a shorter ride than I thought. About ten minutes... Great that means the same school. Yay. Not really.
I got out of the car and walked up. I'm not sure if I should knock or wait... So I knocked. Also waited for an answer. Maybe no one is home. But just as I think that a small doorknob turns and the door opens...
