Kisses on her Scars

New Family?

I woke to the sound of beeping and whispering. I slowly opened my eyes to quickly closing them again. My eyes had to adjust to the light. I look around and see Jai. His parents are in the hall with police officers. "Jai?" I said hoarsely. He looked over. "Miah! I'm so sorry! Don't move." I gave him a questionable look. He has never said sorry for anything. "You have a broken rib and a few bruises." I sighed. "Why...Are the cops here?" Jai looked down. "I called them. You don't deserve this. You need way better....They came to tell my parents that you are leaving when your better."

Everything was trying to process. "B-but I don't want to go!" Jai looked almost as shocked as I did. "Why not! You have been abused, we found out about you not eating, you cutting! Its all because of us!" he was now crying, as was I.  "But I care about you." He looked up at me. "No you don't Miah. You shouldn't. You're here because of me....my friends. I let it go to far." I looked down covering my face now. I felt arms go around me softly. I look and Jai was hugging me. I hugged him back and cried into his shoulder.

I pulled away and wiped my eyes. "Where am I going to go?" He sighed. They wanna take you too California to live with a family." "What family?" He wiped his eyes on his shirt. "A nice married couple with two or three kids." I looked down. "Its better than here Miah." I slowly nodded. We sat there in silence for a few minutes. Then his parents came in along with the cops. "Miah we are truly sorry for what we have done to you." His mom was actually crying. "Well the doctors said you can leave today as long as your careful." One of the officers said.

"Am I going back to my house?" I asked. The lady officer looked at the male one. "Well no...you are going to be put on a plane and headed to California where Mr. and Mrs. West will pick you up." I glared at them. "I need my stuff." They shifted. "Well I guess we could take you." the lady smiled. I just looked at Jai. "I want him to take me." Jai looked surprised.  "We cant let you do that" I sighed and let a tear fall down my face. "Fine." I mumbled. The officers got a doctor and they brought me a wheelchair. Jai helped me up and sit me down. It was very uncomfortable but I didn't feel any pain.

We got down to the cop car and I hugged Jai one last time. "Tell Trevor to text me and give my number to my friends." He nodded and the cop car pulled out. I looked out the window and saw it started to rain. I smiled. I loved the rain. When we arrived my old house all of my things were already being loaded up. They took my clothes and some personal things. The rest was left there. I was driven to the airport by the cops and was joined by a doctor to make sure I was ok on the plane. I was given my own wheelchair, in which she rolled for me. We were loaded onto the plane and we left. I had a window seat. I lay my head on the window and soon feel asleep.

"Miah were here." I opened my eyes to see the doctor that stayed with me. I nodded and he helped me into my wheelchair. We were the first ones out. She pushed me into the huge group of people and stopped. "I have no idea where to go." I smiled a bit and she pushed me to the bag area. Then I saw a group of people with a sign that had my name on it. "Is that them" I pointed. She smiled and pushed me over to them. "Hi Miah! I'm Jamie and this is my husband, George." Jamie was cheery. She had brown hair, blue eyes and she was about 5'6. She was skinny and really pretty. Then there was her husband, he was maybe 6'0, had a red/orange color hair, and green eyes.

He smiled at me. "Hello Miah." "I smiled a little bit and said Hi. "Mom we got her bags." I turned around and saw a boy. "Miah this is Matt." He smiled at me. "Hi" he said with his hand reached out. I carefully shook it. "Hi you must be Miah!" A blonde girl walked up. "I'm Paisley." I said hi to her too. "Well lets get you home. Oh and Owens in the car. He's my other son." I nodded telling the doctor bye.  They got me to their car and Matt helped me in. They all piled in and George pulled away. The whole time thinking to myself  'So far I think I like California,'
