( Cassie's pov)three years later

Its been three years since we've seen our parents ,I'm getting beat in this house our foster parents are very abusive. I got home and I forgot to wipe off my feet before entering , and got mud on the tile .then he punched me in the gut and slapped me on the face that's when Charlie came in .

" Stop it, stop it " he shouted pleading.

" Ass go away " replied him.

then he Shoved Charlie over to her and she held his arms behind his back .after he punched me in the gut one last time ,I puked up blood then he sent me up to my room after stomping on my wrist.10 minutes later Charlie came up and hugged me tightly as I sobbed.

he whispered reassuring words " I'm here ,it's okay"

Even though he's only older than me by 10 minutes he acts like he's two years older than me .after fixing mine and his cuts he put my wrist in a splint then we ate some granola bars he stole from downstairs ,and we went to bed .

todays beating was the worst yet ,when i got home i saw him hitting her. And I begged him to stop ,only to be thrown to the bitch . Then he stepped on her wrist definitely broke it ,then sent her up to her room .my turn .he kicked me a couple of times, then a few punches, followed off with a slap across the face ,then I went up to mine and Cassie's room.

she ran and hugged me crying when I shut the door ,as I whispered reassuring words to her .after the crying I bandaged up Cassie and myself ,and put her wrist in a splint then we ate the crunchy granola bars quietly,and went to bed.

right now I'm being humiliated by Amy Wiesel the bitch of the 4th grade was throwing mud and rocks at me dirtying my blouse and jeans .i'dget it when I got home ,or I could change into my gym clothes and wash my blouse and jeans when I got home .i chose option two .my back length brown hair now has mud in it ,and my very slightly tanned skin is dirty,only my blue eyes and my freckles on my nose and cheeks are visible through the mud.

finally Charlie came and threw Amy off me,picked me up and walked me to my locker inside the school. his brown Justin Bieber styled hair swept right above is blue eyes like , his very slightly pale skin and freckles on his nose and cheeks match mine.

he took a wet napkin and started wiping mud off my face and arms .he gave me my gym clothes and his grey beanie cap.i went into the bathroom and changed , I came out feeling clean and I hugged Charlie, then we went to math class.

i hated it when Cassie was bullied mostly because she gets enough of that crap at home.i saw her getting hit with mud and rocks.i pulled Amy off her and we walked inside and to her locker.i started wiping mud off her arms and face .then I gave her her gym clothes and my beanie cap to cover up the mud till we got home.

then she went into the bathroom across the hall and changed ,coming out in a grey t-shirt with blue and grey capris and blue sneakers that were once mine. With my grey beanie cap on her head ,she hugged me a we walked to math class dreading .
