As the oldest child, I had many responsibilities. 

1. Watch out for Avery.
2. Do my chores.
3. Follow the rules, no matter how much I wanted to break them.
4. Be careful around strangers.

A lot for a thirteen year old, but I did the best I could. Simple rules, yes, but making sure my mom was healthy and stable was definitely not one of them. 

When we were at home one afternoon, she snapped. I was so scared that I ran away. So far, I wasn't sure where I was. 

Until I met River. 

He showed me many things I never would have known if I stayed with my so called 'family'. In a few years, he showed me what it truly felt like to be loved and cared for.

I thought my future was set. River was all I never knew I wanted and needed, but my mom had other ideas.
