Part of my story. Is it good? Repost :)?
All you need to know is Eric is an abusive foster father/ cheif of police. Alli's the main character, Dani is the best friend who she helps. Jake is a loving "brother" Jason is a jerk foster brother. Andrea is her sister from birth and a total *****....Only a few minutes passed after I climbed under my cool sheets and I was already drifting off. At least until my door slammed open. My body shot upright and I saw Eric standing in the doorway. I could see the light shades of purple under his bloodshot eyes. Either he was extremely tired, or completely wasted. Most likely, both."You're going to be starting school soon." He stated firmly. I felt a quick rush of excitement flow through my body, but my skepticism soon turned it into curiosity and suspicion. He was so against the idea of High School, since there were other people there I could tell. The risk of any one of us ratting him out was apparently too high. What he didn't believe was that we all knew better. "What made you change your mind?" I asked curiously."You're social workers damn curiosity."His tone of voice was obviously displeased but luckily he looked too tired to take his anger out on me. "That ***** called asking if you were all settled into your new school. I told her you were starting next week."I looked at him without saying a word and he stepped closer, grabbing my arms tightly. "I swear, If you tell anyone anything..." He snarled. "I know." I interrupted. "I'll pay the consequences."He stared at me a second more before his cold hands released their tight grip. As soon as he was gone I breathed a sigh of relief. The excitement I felt earlier came back. I've only missed my the first semester of junior year, but it was enough to make me miss the experience. Of course, there was still the fear of people seeing through the mask I'd have to wear daily. But knowing that I wasn't going be alone, was comforting. The next morning I awoke with a start. Dani was leaning over me, her face was about an inch away from mine. "What are you doing?" I mumbled groggily."Eric just left for work, plus he told me the good news about going back to school! Didn't he tell you?" I nodded and she shook my shoulders. "Aren't you excited?! We'll actually get to be like normal teenagers again!"She grabbed my hand and pulled me out of bed. I was too tired to protest, so I tumbled onto the floor. My head hitting the dusty wooden floorboards."Ow. way to be gentle." I growled while rubbing the back of my head. "I could have gotten myself up.""Yeah, well it's too late for that."Glaring at her I held out my hand Husky Jerk and she rolled her eyes. She grabbed my wrist and yanked me back onto my feet. Her eyes were suddenly serious."Thank you for helping me last night. How hard was he on you? Did he hurt you?"She looked guilty and I knew if I told her what he did she'd feel bad. It already looked like her eyes were watering."Don't worry. It wasn't bad, really." She didn't seem convinced so I decided to change the subject. "I'm hungry. Did you eat?"She shook her head."I'm not hungry.""You need to eat something. Come on." I grabbed her arm and we walked down to the kitchen together. Jake was already digging through the fridge and Jason was sitting at the table. He paid no attention to us instead his eyes were scanning a newspaper. Suddenly Jake's husky morning voice broke the silence." I'm making some eggs and bacon. You want some?" He looked at Dani and I over his shoulder before pulling the egg carton out of the fridge. "Yeah, thanks.""No problem."Dani and I took a seat at the large kitchen table. I ran my fingers over the glossy marble. The kitchen once again became silent. The only sound was the cold bacon sizzling against the hot frying pan. It was mornings like this that weren't so bad. Sometimes Eric had to leave early for work. It gave us more time to clean things up so we weren't in a rush. Everyone just sat around the table and relaxed. My eyes grazed over the faces of my somewhat family. We've been together for three months and I realized I had no idea who these people were. Not even Dani. It made me wonder where they came from, how they got here. Andrea was the only one I knew. Andrea lived the same life as me. A stay at home mother and a businessman father. My memory of them faded after a while except for one night in particular that stayed fresh in my mind. Andrea and I were both thirteen years old. We were coming home from our friends house when we had pulled over to let a speeding fire truck pass. The sirens rang through the night. At first I thought nothing of it, until thethey pulled down my street. Flames surrounded my house. I raced up the driveway but was restrained. Even from the street my skin was burning from the heat and then I wondered where my parents were. After scanning the crowd of people I was told they never got out. Before the firemen had a chance to save them, the roof collapsed and hope was lost. Tears filled my dry eyes. All I had left was Andrea. We were always by each other's side. Until we got separated for two long years. I had my new family and she had hers. I didn't know what happened to her during that time but I didn't care. It was nice not having her bring me down every day. She always told me it was my fault they died. Until one day my adoptive parents disappeared. I woke up and found the house empty. Most of their belongings were there, but they weren't. Once they left they never came back. After a few days I ran to find them. I was too confused and afraid to call the police. Eventually Eric found me on the streets andbrought me into his oh so loving home. "Aren't you going to eat?" Jake asked, interrupting my thoughts. "Huh?" I looked down to see a plate of food in front of me. "Oh. Thanks Jake."He nodded from across the table and I grabbed a warm strip of bacon. The hot grease burned my tongue but I didn't care. "Sooo..." Dani sang cheerfully. "Are you looking forward to Junior year Jake."He rolled his eyes."Thrilled.""Oh come on. It's better than being here. How long has it been since we've actually felt the sun on our skin?"He chuckled. "Okay. You've made your point.""I usually do."She smiled victoriously and carried her empty plate to the sink. I looked at mine which was only half finished."You eat way too fast." I pointed out. She walked back over and smirked."You're just extremely slow. I take bites, you just nibble."I shook my head and continued eating. Once I was done I placed my plate on top of Dani's. Then Andrea came down the staircase andentered the kitchen. An icy chill filled the room. "So, you two are going to be riding with me to school from now on, right?"Dani and I exchanged looks."Yeah. So are Jake and Jason.""Eh...Wrong.""Excuse me?" I asked her annoyed. "Sorry Hun, I have friends that need rides. I don't have room for antisocial stowaways." She shrugged her shoulders and skipped off with a smile on her face. "I say we tie her up and throw her in the pool." Dani's serious tone matched her expression. "Yeah and then we get slaughtered as a punishment.""True. We'll also get slaughtered if we don't start cleaning."She and I got to work on the kitchen. She swept and mopped the grey tiled floors while I did the dishes and wiped off the Counters. Usually it took us at least three hours to clean everything.The mansion was huge and quite beautiful. The kitchen was personally my favorite room. Grey marble speckled with black made up the countertops and in the middle was the large oak island. Connected to the kitchen was the living room. It was mainly white with hints of tan black and grey. There was also a beautiful white marble staircase that matched the one in the kitchen. It was wide and slightly curved. When I was little it was my dream to live in a house like this. Now, it was just a constant reminder of the life I live.
