"I'm going to fart on your pillow," Glen promised her, crossing his arms. "Do that and I'll tell Francis that you broke his lucky chain." Hayes mirrored his stance, unintimidated. "Smiley, Sunshine, ease up a bit." Hearing their voices rise, Colton stepped in. "No need to threaten each other. Besides, we like to spread love in this household, not violence." He wrapped his arms around both kids, pulling them in for a hug. "Colton," Glen groaned, struggling to escape, "Too much love bro." "Get used to it, Smiley. I have many years of hugs to make up for." ---------- Glen and Hayes, Smiley and Sunshine. Two siblings who were just kids. Kids that grew up where they only had each other to count on, to protect each other from the evils of the real world. A world where there were no hugs filled with love from annoying older brothers. Then one day, it all changed.

My name is Esmerelda-Antoinette Marie-Elene Svetlana Saint-Claire Morozov Romano. Yes I know it's long. As I was walking home I saw that there were police at my house. I quickly rushed to see what was happening and talked to one of the policemen. "Ummm excuse me, sir, may I please know what is happening here at my house," I asked sweetly but sternly. "Oh, sweety well your foster father died of an overdose today. You will be dealt with by a social worker for the time being." The police officer said with a sweet smile. I simply nodded and went to go get all my stuff and pack it in my bag. Should I feel happy or sad that he died? I ask myself. I ignore my thoughts and go do my work. I pack all my clothes in a large suitcase. I put all my gadgets for work in my backpack and took my yo-yos with me. I also remember to take my blades with me. The blades I use to cut myself reminding me how big of a failure I am. A tear falls from my eyes. I open the drawer in the room and grab an emerald ring that belonged to my mother. I headed outside the house where a sweet lady greeted me. "Hello darling my name is Tara Lewis and I will be your social worker." She said and I nodded in acknowledgment. "Umm so I have a question, will I be going into the foster system again," I ask kindly. She nods her head no. "Well, I have done a DNA test to see if there were any relatives to take you in and I found your biological father. I called him about an hour ago and he is willingly accepting you. Just before you ask any questions I would like to inform you, you have ten older half brothers and a stepmother. You will be on a private jet tomorrow heading to Italy where your father will pick you up." She says sweetly. "Okay thank you see you tomorrow," I say as I grab a cab and head to a hotel to rest, or should I say prepare.

"Let the beautiful world be just an illusion of lies." It had always been just the two of them - Irie and Finnick. Irie the sweet, but very quiet ten-year-old. The innocent kid; she never saw the ugly side of reality. She was happy. The trauma she had experienced as a baby had washed away all the bad memories from her past; she couldn't remember her parents. In her brain she had never had them - she only had her older brother. And he was the only person she ever even needed in her life. Irie never asked it to happen. Maybe she started to wonder about her past a little more, but she was a kid - of course a child without parents would some day think about their whereabouts. But she never thought that she would meet anyone else who shared the same blood with her. She did, two of them, and no, the other one was not her mother. Suddenly it all took a turn, and the life which had once been so beautiful in her innocent eyes started to be only a delusion of something horrible.

Being alone? Check. Being afraid? Check. Being abused? Check times 3. Honestly, my life wasn't this bad before, not until I ended in foster care... SIKE! My life was always bad. From the moment I was born, I lived with an abusive father who blamed me for my mother's death, and even I couldn't disagree with him. Here are a few questions I am constantly asked: 'Do I do well in school?' No, are you kidding me? The only subject I'm good at is Visual Arts. 'Do I have a kind and caring family?' No, I don't think I do. 'Do I have anyone who cares about me?' No, I'm a loner and socially awkward. 'Do I have privileges?' No, if you haven't understood the message yet, I live in an abusive household. Now, you might ask if there are any questions the answer is yes. I'll give you some. 'Do I want to die?' Yes, I sometimes do. 'Do I feel alone in this world?' Yes, always. 'Do I get a beating every day?' Yes. *** This is Amara Williams, a 13 year-old with average grades and no friends.
