6. Break Away

#6-Break Away

They were getting rid of her. Everyone did eventually. Even her own parents. Even Russ. She slowly nodded as they explained it to her. She didn't really believe them. They were just making up excuses because they didn't want her. Nobody did. She hated being a foster kid. She hated the whole foster care system. She didn't need any of these so called "families". She would be absolutely fine on her own. She had an extremely high IQ and basic survival skills. She could make it on her own. Instead, these idiots insisted on passing her from family to family every few months. They weren't actually families. Not really. Not in the true sense of the word. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gotten rid of her. She was determined to make something of her life anyway. Because one day, she'd get out of here. One day, she'd break away.
