My name is Abbalease Jade Barry, but most people just Abbie or Lease, today my life Finally begins, I am 13 years old and today I go into foster care, I am moving to a place called Elm tree house.
I walk out of the manky cell in the police station and get into my social workers car, his name is Dennis, he is a horrible man, but I guess I should be grateful, im wearing the grey tracksuit that the police gave me because my only set of clothes the police took away, I look out the window and dont say much, I dont see the point because when you ask him anything he just says something nasty in return
Finally after what seems like hours we arrive outside a very big house, its is white with a red door, Dennis starts talking away. I just get up, when he grabs me, I hate it when people touch me, it scares me, I push him away and walk to the door, and ring the bell when he grabs me again, this time more violent towards me, when the door swings open, Dennis pushes me in and shouts at me
"Get the Fuck in there!" he says, his nose is bleeding badly, I must have done that.
"You cant do that!" A boy with brown hair and chocolate brown eyes, in a adidas hoodie shouts.
"I can do what I want she assulted me!" He says with a horrible grin and starts to head towards me, at this point im crying with fear and run down a corridor to a dead end, I curl up in a ball in the corner, normally when people go towards me it means they are going to hurt me.
"Dennis you cant hurt her when she is in our care." A bald man says with a angry look on him.
"I can do what I like!" He says as a comeback. The bald man runs at him and pulls him away out the door, all of the kids come running at me and ask if im ok, I put my hands over my ears and hope that they will all go away. One boy is writing everything down in his notebook while questioning me. The Boy with the hoodie gets in there way.
"Guys can you give 'er some space cant you see she is scared?" He asks with a calm voice. He walks over to my and kneels near me but not to close.
"My name's Liam, What's your's?" He asks, his cockney accent becoming clear.
"Abbalease." I say quietly.
"Nice ta meet ya." He says holding out his hand, I dont know if I cant trust him but I shake his hand, he automatically spots the fingernail marks deep in my hand but he doesn't say anything just smiles, I think we are going to be friends.
So yeah chapter one finished!
