I've been out on the streets for a long, long time it seems like it,but it really has been only a year apparently by what I can tell by the newspaper dates. My mom died in a car accident when I was 12 years old and I was their to see it all happen, and I never have met my dad. I never have seen pictures of him at all, none.
When the police found me in the car, at the accident I was scared and frightened, but most of those feelings were for my mom. When they took my mom and myself in the ambulance I remember being told by a paramedic while he was checking for any scratches or injuries that, "Everything is going to be okay kid, promise" trying to assure me, I didn't believe him I know he was lying, because my mom was such in horrible shape. I knew she was gone.
When we reached the hospitable, I just remember everything going by so fast, doctors, nurses rushing my mom in to a room, I was catching up with them, when they made it into a room I was in there with them, I remember a girl nurse saying to me that "You should go and wait in the hall." I answered "No I…I can't she's my mom." While I was trying to hold back a sob in my throat. So the nurse nodded.
When a couple of hours or minutes passed by, an officer came in and asked for me so I obeyed, and walked just right out into the hall, "I'm sorry for what happened to your mother." the officer said sincerely. He explained he only had a couple of questions to ask, he took out his notebook and flipped through his notebook and asked "I hadn't gotten your name yet may I ask ?" he looked curious, so I told him " My name is Anna, my mother's is Julia" she stuttered. The officer jotted down Anna in his notebook and
Julia. Then the officer looked up at Anna and questioned "Last?" Anna didn't know what he meant "Last what?" she asked curiously. The officer smiled and chuckled "Last name." He answered. Anna felt a little dumb founded but she answered the officers question and answered "Oh, um…. sorry it's uh Hemsworth." And so then he wrote it down in his notebook and continued. "Anna, do you have a dad or…." Anna didn't know what to say…she knew what would happen if she said yes, she would be sent to an orphanage, and she didn't want that, but she couldn't lie. So she told the truth "No, I never have met my dad and I have no other guardian." She said offensively. "Oh, uh sorry Anna, but you do know what this means right?" the officer asked her, "Yeah I know." Anna told him. But before she went, she quickly said her goodbyes to her mother.
Yeah, I hated that place, I've been there for four years. And so at 16 years old I needed a new change, a few adjustments, I wanted an adventure. So I packed a few bags and took off, ran away, but I wouldn't say ran.
