RYANS POV

Here he was at another care home probably the same as his last one, cruel nasty and abusing. He walked in at first glance it was peaceful and calm and looked welcoming. Then all the shouting began a girl with tanned skinned was screaming at another younger
girl with curly ginger hair for stealing her nail polish. Then my social worker took me into the office to meet the head care worker, that was always the worst part of coming to a new care home , the care workers were always the cruellest well crueller
than the kids anyway.

"Hey there you must be Ryan, I'm Mike" said Mike "welcome to ashdene ridge; I hope you'll be happy here. I'll go get someone to show you to my room."

Maybe this place is different, maybe I can finally be happy here as long as no one finds out what I did or my secret.

"Yeah thank you mike, thank you for giving me a chance" said Ryan. "Do you mind if I meet the others on my own?"

"Actually I was thinking I'd get one of the young people to show you round, our lot can be a bit overwhelming when someone new comes to visit. And here she is tee this is Ryan" said mike.

In walked a girl, a beautiful girl a bit older than me with beautiful blonde hair and golden brown eyes. She was amazing, i never normally bothered with girls but this one was beautiful, god what is wrong with me snap out of it Ryan.

"Hey Ryan, come on then I'll show you to your room first" said tee. So how long have you been in care for?

"Since my 6th birthday, I'm 15 now so about 9 years"

"Yeah me too, me and my brother Johnny have been here most of our lives I'm 16 now so ill be leaving soon, Johnny already gone he's in the army which worries me a bit but I know he'll be fine he always is, anyway here we are you have franks old room,
mike will probably let you redecorate it."

"Thank god I'm not too crazy on man united, i prefer west ham"

"I'm quite surprised you seem different to what I expected, now come on lets go meet the other there in the garden playing rounder's, you any good?"

Different, different how in a good or bad way, what if she thinks I'm an idiot oh for god sake Ryan you should of been cooler used some charm anything how are you going to get her to like you now, she's the most amazing person ever, maybe if I get her
to think I don't like her that much shell be more curious about me.

"Err yeah whatever let's just go yeah, I'm tired of this tour"

"Wow okay then, I shouldn't of bothered maybe you should just go on your own seen as though you're tired of my tour"

Tee stormed off into her room and slammed the door behind her loudly. Oh god Ryan what is wrong with you can't you do anything right he went to run to tee room but instead saw the bathroom and ran straight in there locked the door and looked in the mirror.
His reflection was staring back at him, he reached in his pocket and brought out a blade and went to cut himself when he saw a reflection of his sister in the mirror, looking at him worryingly. He hadn't seen her in so long, she was the only person
he'd ever truly cared about, but after what he did he could never see her again. He put the blade away and ran to tee's room and knocked.

TEE'S POV

She had been so nice at first and so was he, she was hopeful he was a nice boy and different to any others she thought that maybe he liked her but obviously he didn't. As if she'd ever be so lucky the last time a new man came into her life she had ended
up being beaten Johnny more than her and then landed in care without her mum fighting for her back. Maybe Ryan was like him, she was certain there was more to him but she couldn't give out hope not yet, otherwise shed get hurt.

There was a knock at the door, she hoped it was Ryan

"Who is it?"

"Ryan, please let me in I want to say sorry"

"Well you've said it now so you can go and meet everyone without me"

"Please Tee come out I want you to come with me, I only acted like that because I'm not used to people being as nice as you were to me"

I opened the door and there he has, face filled with guilt. It was a beautiful face i admired it before he said come on then we haven't got all day and with that we went into the garden.

What will happen next time, what will the rest of the dumping ground think ofhim. And will Ryan spot a familiar face from his past.
