I remember when my mother died. She was shot. We were walking down the street from the super market. Some idiot pulled out a gun and started shooting randomly. One of them hit me in the shoulder but another hit her in her chest. The police said the people that the man wasn't stable and he wasn't right in the head. But I don't care. Not only did that man killed my mom but also my happiness. Jeb, my father started to drink and hit me. I was 9 at that time and I couldn't defend myself against a 35 year old man. Now I'm 15 and it has been the same for 6 years.

Coming home, finding my father drunk, him hitting me when I didn't listen or upset him for no effin reason. I hid the bruises and cuts under my sleeves. Jeb never cut me, but I did that to myself. My life officially sucked. I was abused at home and at school. Me, Maximum Ride being abused. That's impossible. Well the death of my mother changed me. But I changed again. I went to my old self. Kind of. Ever since the Blacks and Collins moved to our neighborhood.

"Max! Shower and get dressed we have to meet the new neighbors. And remember! Not a word of what happens here to anyone", he yelled. I did what he yelled at me to do. I on a purple hoodie and black shorts with purple leggings under them with my knee high black converse. I left my hair all wavy. My hair was dirty blonde with brown strips. I went downstairs and told Jeb I was ready. "Who are they anyways?"I asked letting my curiosity getting the better of me. "Two families. One to our right and the others to out left. The Blacks have a boy your age and a girl that's 7. The Collins have 2 boys and one girl. One boy is your age and the other is 8 and the girl is 12." Jeb said.'

I nodded my head. "Listen to me you don't tell anyone of those people about our secret. If you do I will give you a serious beating", he said sternly. "Of course. I don't want to disappoint you", I said my voice unreadable. "Good! Now c'mon they're here. Good thing you're covering up your bruises. Ha ha ha", he said chuckling out the door. I just nodded my head, not having the courage to say anything. I wondered how these kids would be as I headed out the door…
