"mommmmm, Im going to the library" I ran down the stairs to the garage to get on my big red bike i got for christmas. I ride a couple blocks before a slam on my tires turn on baker ave. I went to baker avenue library almost everyday after school to read diary of a wimpy kid books but today it was different, they were closed. It had a big sign on it that said 'CLOSED UNTIL 12/28/16' i sighed and pulled out my black iphone six that I also got for christmas. I googled 'librarys near me' and saw that It was one a couple blocks away on north rivers street so i went there.
I tied the chain on my bike and walked in side. I gulped. It was huge. I had really bad social anxiety so i just walked to the back where the kid section was. I looked up and down, side to side and still nothing so i decided to go to the front desk. "hi, do you have any jeff kinney books?" i asked. A woman with light brown hair, white glasses and a green sweater who appeared to be in her early 50s turned around. "no, sorry that girl over there took them all" i turned around and saw a girl with black hair had a stack of books at a table. "ok thanks" i said and walked over to her
. "so you like diary of a wimpy kid to huh" i said and she looked up "yea there my favorite" I smiled and so did she. "do you mind if i read these with you?" I asked in a questioning tone. She said yes and i and picked hard luck. "how often do you come to the library" "you dont even know my name yet" she said. "well...im avani" I reached out my hand to shake it with her. She shook it and said "im charli" i smiled at her and kept reading.
Ive been at the library for a little while talking to charli for a while now and wondered what time it was. i checked my phone and it was EIGHT O CLOCK? "charli i have to go" i said putting my phone in my pocket "wait" said pulling out her phone "whats your number" i typed it in and left.

When i got home my mom and dixie were arguing again. They argue almost every single day for no reason, maybe it just 14 year old girl stuff

"where have you been" "at the library" i said in a shaking voice "lier SHANTI GET THE BELT" my older sister ran up stairs to get it, her name is shanti and shes 15 and im 13. "so where were you" my uncle asked "AT THE LIBRARY YOU PERVERT" I kicked him in the nuts and ran up stairs to get my younger sister, priya. she was only 6 and i felt bad for her. I shut the door and packed are bags "were are we going sissy" she looked up at me with glossy eyes "i dont know yet". i was only 13 so i had no idea where were going to go. "open the door" a voice said before we jumped out the window "no your prob with him" i said and opened the window wider. "please vani, i wanna go with you I even have my bag packed" i smiled that my older sister wanted to help me so i opened the door and she ran inside. "We have to hurry he's running up the stairs" i nodded and jumped out the window. "COME BACK HERE YOU LITTLE CRAP" we ran and ran until we couldnt run anymore "so what now" "i dont know"

she got up and went into the hallway to bring a pretty brunette with blonde highlights in my room.
"this is addison............" she paused

I wasn't lying, I didn't know were to go. I told shanti to look up shelters where we could possibly stay at and she found on. We walked in the cold november air for about a hour. And at last, we found it.
"hi, I'm chelsea, what's wrong kiddos?" a lady in her 20s said as she was organizing some files that looked important. "Me and my sisters were getting abused, and we needed a place to stay" my eldest sister pleaded while the younger gave puppy dog eyes. I joined with the pouty face. "ok follow me" she said and before we can walk a girl with brown hair and blonde highlights came in with a girl who looked like charli. "Addison, your late" Chelsea snapped her head around to look at her. "Ik Ik I'm sorry, it won't happen again" she gave the girl that looks like charli a peck on the cheek and the followed us to the back. "you guys will bunk with addi" she gave us a warm smile and all three of us returned it.
A little while later Charli called and asked me some questions and then she saw The orphanage sign above me saw I hung up
I looked at my sleeping sisters and then at addison. "Hi I'm avani" "addison" she said. "wanna see my girrlfriend?" she asked me and i nodded. She showed me a picture of charli and the girl at the door. "hey, i know her, thats charli" "yea shes dixies sister" "i see good genes run threw the family" she smiled "your blushing" she screamed "NO IM NOT" I whisper yelled "Well Im going there tommorw, you should come. I said ok and went to sleep
