Ariana entered a huge brick building. Annette hung her coat in a closet and smiled at Ariana. "Welcome to Annette's Place for Teens in Trouble." She cooed. "Upstairs are bedrooms and more bedrooms on the top floor. Just find a room with nobody in it and it's yours. You can explore, and it's Taco Tuesday tonight so be in the Dining Hall by 6." Ariana was speechless. Then she laughed gleefully. "Is this a dream? Somebody please pinch me!" Oliver happily obliged and then looked at Ariana as she flinched and winked. "Nope, this is pretty real."

PROLOGUE A small boy lies curled up in his bed, trying to hide himself. The screams and shouts of his parents echoed throughout the empty, cold house. A small toddler girl, snuggled in his arms, fusses in her sleep. A loud crash, followed by a cry of pain, makes the boy flinch and tear up. He pulls the baby girl close and covers his ears. 'Dad is hurting mom again' The boy cries softly, so as not to be heard, weeping at the unfairness of the world. Hours later, his bedroom door opens, and a soft hand touches his cheek. "Ian, my baby boy, I've got to go for a while, ok?" A woman's voice calls softly. The boy sits up, wiping his tears. "How long will you be gone?" The boy sniffles. "Mom is going to live with Uncle Sam for a while, just so she can make dad's company bigger. Make sure you take good care of Naomi. Don't forget to clean up after yourself, and get good grades in school." The boy's mother ruffles his hair and kisses him on the cheek. "I love you buddy. I'll be back in a few years. I know that sounds like a long time but, I'll be back before you know it. I just have to make dad happy." The boy nods, refusing to cry. 'I have to protect Naomi. I'm alone now.' the boy thinks to himself, determined. His mother stands up and walks away, her feet softly padding down the hallway.
