Chloe looked around her. She was sitting uncomfortably in a hospital, her hands fiddling together in her lap. She looked up as the doctor and an unfamiliar tanned woman with very colorful clothes and short black hair approached her. She got to her feet.

The doctor's face told Chloe everything she needed to know. She felt her brave face crumple and she began to sob, her hands flying up to cover her face. The woman with the strangely colorful clothes put an arm around her.

"I'm Elaine. I'm your social worker. We're taking you to a care home." The woman said, escorting Chloe to the car. As they got in and put on their seatbelts, Elaine put a hand on Chloe's arm. "I'm so sorry." She said.

Chloe sniffed and got out her iPod, putting in her headphones and leaning her head against the window. Elaine patted her sympathetically, before putting her hands on the wheel and driving off. A song began to play just as they drove off.

"It's feeling like the time's run out,

But the hourglass just flipped itself over again,

The sun is slowly sinking down,

But on the other side, another day waits to begin.

If you dare to believe in life,

You might realize that there's no time for talking,

Or just wait around while the innocent die.

No more,

We're gonna lose everything,

If we believe all the lies,

I may fall, but I swear I'll help you believe

No more,

This world's running on empty

And there's no reason why…

You may fall, but I know you'll help me believe…"

Soon enough, there they were, at the new care home.

Chloe put her iPod away and took the rest of her stuff out of Elaine's car, before letting Elaine lead her towards the new life.

Elaine knocked on the door, and a boy opened it. Chloe's eyes met his and surprisingly, both of them went slightly pink for some reason, then looked away.

"Hey Elaine…is this the new girl?" the boy asked.

"Yes, Lol, this is Chloe. Chloe, this is Lol." Elaine said, leading Chloe inside.

"Hi, nice to meet you." Chloe said.

"You too. It may seem pretty bad here so far…but you get used to it." Lol said, putting a hand on the side of her shoulder for a second before he went towards what looked like the living room.

Elaine smiled and showed Chloe to her room, then left her to unpack.

Chloe did unpack, but after a while, she just sat on her bed, tears forming in her eyes.

R.I.P Mom.
