Emily was walking to her locker when a mean girl from her class Sandie approached her. "Where'd you think you're going?" she snarled "to my locker" Emily answered confused "oh lemme help you" she said grabbing Emily's books and dumping them on the floor. "Give it a rest Sandie" Emily sighed picking up her books. "So where'd your mom dump you to this time" Sandie asked laughing. "It's not her fault" Emily said trying to hold back tears. "Well who's fault is it then?" Sandie smirked. "The man who raped her" Emily answered slamming her locker shut. Sandie stared in shock "aw did your mommy hang out with the wrong crowd" Sandie said pretending to cry. "Actually she was kidnapped smart ass" Emily sneered. Sandie gave her a sympathetic look "oh yeah your poor mom she's sick at home right?" she asked "right" Emily answered continuing to walk down the hall. "Wrong I saw her with her little boyfriend yesterday" she said turning to walk away "I'm sorry she wanted you gone but can you blame her?" she asked walking down the hallway with her little gang.
Emily hit her head against her locker until it started to bleed. Tears rolled down her cheeks so she went to the bathroom to clean up. The school day never felt so long but Emily was glad because if she had to go home to her horrible foster parents she knew it'd end in tears. She left the bathroom and the final bell rang letting her know it was time to go home.
She walked in the door of the shabby old apartment as usual her foster parents criticised her looks her posture her attitude, she just wish it would end. She heard a knock on the door and her foster mother answered it. Emily was in the kitchen and didn't see who it was. "You shouldn't be here" her foster mother snarled "I have visitation rights" said a voice Emily would recognise anywhere. "Mom?" she asked walking into the hallway "c'mon let's go" Olivia said glaring at Maria (Emily's foster mom) "where're we going?" Emily asked "out" Olivia answered. Emily ran to her mother's side "we'll be back by seven" Olivia said walking away with Emily alongside her. They drove to MacDonald's to get some food "why the random visit you haven't even texted me in two months why the sudden interest?" Emily asked coldly "I've always been interested, my phone is smashed and it's been kept as evidence" Olivia answered. "Again?" Emily signed not sounding convinced "again" Olivia answered "but the phone had nothing to do with the case" Emily said "it did his texts about Amelia" Olivia reminded. "Oh yeah" Emily mumbled "it's OK I know you hate your foster parent I hate them two but IAB still think I shot Lewis and they don't trust me to look after you" Olivia explained "but I hate it mom I-I just wanna go home" she said tears starting to form behind her eyes "I know and I get it's hard for you to understand but I can't take care of you" Olivia said looking down "no I understand I get it 100%" Emily said. Just then Brian approached "oh hey Em" he said "it's Emily" Emily corrected. "OK I'm sorry" he said not really paying attention to his words. "Emily go get some ice-cream" Olivia said "here" Brian said giving her some money. Emily knew that was just a polite way to tell her to leave but she was getting ice-cream so at least she got something out of it. She came back and saw the look on her mom's face, she looked like she was gonna cry. "I'm sorry Liv" Brian said getting up and walking out.. Emily plonked onto her seat "what'd he say?" she asked concerned "oh nothing just work you know how it is now um.. you have to be home in a half hour so we better get going. Emily's face dropped " OK" she whispered putting on her jacket.
It was late that night and Emily couldn't sleep. Her foster parents were at it again and she tried to block out the noise. She took out her phone and got her mom's knew number "mom they're doing it again" Emily sighed "I swear if IAB weren't on me already" Olivia said in a threatening tone. "I can't sleep can you just collect me" Emily asked but went silent hearing more noises that she wished she couldn't hear. "Are they seriously having sex right next door to you?" Olivia asked in shock "mom don't say it" Emily cringed "there's no sugar-coating it Em" Olivia yawned "no don't go to sleep" Emily begged. "OK I'll tell you what I'll get someone from child services to come and collect you" she said hanging up the phone. Two hours past and Emily was giving up hope, until she heard a knock on the door.. Child services came and took her away. She sat in the back of the car and cried silently. Meanwhile Olivia was tossing and turning, she just couldn't lie still. "Liv give it a rest" Brian groaned sleepily "I can't" Olivia said sitting up so Brian sat up too. "You're over thinking things" he yawned "oh yeah over thinking things" Olivia said frustratedly. She got up and left the bedroom "wait I didn't mean-" Brian began "I know what you meant" Olivia answered.
