From Awkward Stars:

"Idiots, how did we loose a sixteen year old in a glass room?!" a voice silences them all.

I slip out of my corner and into the now empty hallway, shutting the doors behind me. I race as fast as I can away from that interrogation room and tears stream down my face.

I've tried so hard to be good.

I've tried so hard to fit in.

What have I done to deserve this?

Lost in thought, I can't look where I'm going. My face connects with a human-feeling thing.

"Emma?" Tyler asks and states. I look up into his cold eyes. "You?"

I push past him, slamming my shoulder on his. Pain spikes through me, but all I can think about is getting out of here.

There are black dots in my vision. I hear yells and calls after me, but they are faded. I burst through the first door I find. A mob of people await me, but they aren't about to arrest me.

I collapse into the nearest persons chest.

"Get her back to headquarters."
