? POV

I ran down the hall past (but I call her cause she always tells me not to run inside when we're not even aloud outside)

"JADE!"she yells at the top of her lungs,I cover my ears in the progress.

I walk up to her and asked"What?"softly.

" You know 'what'" she says mocking me...I hate it when she does that.

"I still don't know what your talking about?"I say grinning like a retard. (Knowingly) She did a sour face and went up to me and smacked me on the left cheek"AHHH!"I couldn't help but scream this was not like any other smack she smacked me as hard as she could and it hurt a lot!

"That's for being a smart ass next time you'll answer me seriously got that?"she asked.

"..."

"Answer me!"she yells putting up her hand instating that she was going to smack me again.

"Yes"I squeaked backing off in to my room where I had nothing but maybe a bed,a laptop I hid under my very low bed and a mirror,after I just stared at myself looking where she smacked me hard and it started to bruise so disused it under my long brown hair that went past my butt and almost to the ground. I didn't want my hair to be that it touched the ground.

(they never cut are hair so I cut it with a piece of glass that came from a figurine,had when I was young,it got 'knocked over' when a left it out of it's hiding place I had for it so at least I could remember it right?)

Anyways I heard that was going out at 9:00 and wanted me in charge because I'm the oldest of anyone but everyone was happy cause I'm in charge cause I ALWAYS put a movie on until came back and she's not coming back until tomorrow afternoon so I decided to put a movie on for the little ones and made some popcorn after they all did there room and did three chores each.( always wants chores done,at least she wanted us to have a clean environment)

After two movies I took one by one up to there bed(they looked so peaceful in there sleep)until they were all in bed I cleaned up and read a book that I hid in my closet in one of my jackets and sat in the living room that I just cleaned,I don't go to sleep until 1:00 AM and it was 12:45 and had to kill time until I was sleepy so I went to my room and pulled out my laptop,plugged in my headphones to update on some YouTube videos and I was almost done watching a Ssundee video and there was a knock at the door downstairs so I put my laptop back and tiptoed down the stairs and looked in the peep hole in the door and saw a couple and opened the door slightly,"Hello?"

"Hello,we're here to adopt a child?"a cheerful girl asked.

"I'm sorry we're all asleep so please come back in the morning and you most likely adopt a child ok?"

"We understand we'll be back in the morning,good night"the man said with a grin.

"Good night"I smiled back closing the door and tiptoeing back upstairs looking at the time noticing it's 1:05 and slump into my bed sleeping instantly filling my eyes with darkness...
