Authors note: thanx for reviewing it means a lot!! I also want to add that in the 1st chapter I said she was wearing a sundress and I didn't think about the cut on her arm. So she is wearing a sweater/jacket over it.

CHAPTER2

Faith: when am I leaving?

Faith was fill with so many emotions she didn't know how to express them so kept them inside. The man turned to her and looked at her. Faith looked deeply into the man and women's eyes and saw a nice kind, loving couple. But what could they want from me nobody ever wanted her? She questioned herself.

Peter: Well if you would like you could leave today with us in about thirty minutes.

Faith: Um… yeah that's fine but I want to have time to say my good-byes.

Sophie: You can take all the time you need honey. There is no rush here.

Faith: Okay let me go get my stuff.

Faith exited the room and went up the stairs to the room she shared. Lillian and Angel sat on the bed laughing at the stories they told each other, but stopped as they saw Faith walk in.

Lillian: Faith why don't you ever knock. What if I was saying something I didn't want you to hear!

Faith: Well you don't have to worry about that anymore, because I am leaving this dump!

Faith was smiling at the thought and hurried around the room grabbing all of her things and stuffing them in her bag. This was only her 4th family she was to live with in her 7 years living there. Samantha burst into the room and saw Faith packing her bag.

Samantha: Faith where are you going?

Faith: I am leaving there are some people that might adopt me.

Samantha: Your leaving me?

Faith shook her head yes and wrapped her arms around the small girl, and exited out of the door with her gray bag threw over one shoulder.

Peter and Sophie filled her in about there jobs and the kids on the drive to Horizon. The car past a sign saying 1 mile till Mt.Horizon School. And in about one minute they pulled into Mt.Horizon. Peter and Sophie unbuckled there self's and got out of the car. Faith followed behind taking in her surroundings.

Peter: I think you would fit better in the cliffhanger group so lets go meet them now and get acquainted.

Sophie: They are a very nice group Faith and they were excited to hear that we were looking to adopt.

They all walked into a classroom and Jeff was in front of the class teaching.

Peter: Hey Jeff could I take a moment of your class time?

Jeff immediately noticed the girl standing by Sophie and shook his head and stepped aside. Peter cleared his throat and looked out at the cliffhangers in till he had everyone's attention.

Peter: You know how we were looking to adopt well we went into town today and Faith is going to be staying with us for a few days and out of all the groups I want her to be with you guys because I think you guys are mature enough to handle someone younger in your group.

Jules: That's so great. I know how you said that you were looking to adopt and all but it's just so exciting to have someone staying with you and she gets to hang out with us.

Shelby: Don't frighten the girl with your enthusiasm Queenie you might scare her away. (Turns to look at the girl) I am Shelby.

Auggie: I am Auggie

The bell rang and all the Cliffhangers got and started to leave. But Peter stopped them.

Sophie: I know that was your last hour but we have a visitor and would someone please be her buddy so she doesn't get lost?

Jules: I will!

Peter: Thank You Juliette. (Pause) Ok Faith this is Juliette if it is all right with you she will be the one showing you around and taking you to eat till you know your own way around here. Tomorrow you will start school at Lamphere High School. I am going to try to make it as normal as I can for you. We'll talk more about this later right now just get settled in. Jules please take her to my office right after dinner before group. Ok?

Jules: Sure thing. Lets go Faith.

~*At Dinner*~

Auggie: So Faith. How long were you at the home?

Faith: For about seven years.

Scott: Geeze girl, why weren't you ever adopted? No offense

Faith: Well I was adopted three times before this it's just they found out about me, you know my secrets, anyway they didn't want to deal with me so they sent me back.

Ezra: I don't know if I could do that I mean I would feel sort of used.

Faith took a sip of her milk and wiped her mouth with a napkin. Everyone at the table shook their head in agreement to Ezra's statement.

Faith: Well it's my life and, I live where I am told.

Shelby: yeah but nobody should have to live like that.

Faith: I said I can deal!

Faith got up angrily and threw her lunch away. She walked out the door she was livid. She didn't know why she was so upset that was all new to her and it scared her in a way. She had been in many homes before but never a home like this. She knew that Peter and Sophie would keep her even when they found out everything about her.

Faith: Oh god…. I forgot I have to go to Peter's office!

Jules: Yeah and that's why I came to find you.

Jules came up from behind Faith. Faith jumped when Jules spoke.

Faith: You scared me!!

Jules: Sorry, but anyway you don't want to be late so lets go. (The girls walked off in the direction of Peter) I am sorry about earlier, we all are. We didn't mean to nail you with questions. I guess we were a little out of line.

Faith: I shouldn't have gotten so mad you were just asking questions.

The girls reached the office and stood there for a moment.

Jules: You want me to go with you?

Faith: No I'll be fine.

Jules: Ok, I'll see you at group.

Faith: Bye and thanks.

Jules: Bye.

Faith walked up the stairs and in to a building. She found Peter's office she bit her lip and she raised her hand to knock on the door. She tapped lightly not making too much noise.

Peter: Come in.

She heard Peter from inside the door at walked in and his command.

Peter: Ahhh Faith I was expecting you. Take a seat.

Peter gestured toward the two seats in front of his desk. She did as told without a word.

Peter: Like I said before I unrolled you in the High School about twenty miles from here. I know it is a drive but it is wroth it and the closes school to here. So did you meet everyone?

Faith: Yeah Jules did a good job of showing me around.

Peter: That's good. Ok well at ten o'clock we leave and go to Sophie's and my house and we will get you settled in and you start school tomorrow. I want you to know that even though I wont be able to pay 100% attention to you I still want you here. I just don't want you to think that I have abandoned you. You can also tell me anything. O.k.?

Peter was looking at the girl the whole time he could tell she was uncomfortable and looked like she was about to cry but not a single tear fell.

Faith: Yes, I understand.

Peter: It's group time!! If you don't mind you could participate with us. I know it would be hard to make a transition like this.

Faith: Yeah I'll join you guys.

Peter: Great thanks. I think it would be good to have a different point a view in the group.

~*Group*~

Everyone sat around one the floor cause peter had instructed that nobody sat on chairs for some odd reason. Faith sat next to Sophie, for some reason Faith found a special connection with her.

Sophie: Ok everyone. We are going to do finish the sentence again will start with me so I can show Faith how it is done and the she will go and continue from there. Ok the sentence today is… drum roll please "The thing I most regretted is…" Well since I am going first I say the thing I most regretted is never making up with my mom when I had a chance, and why is because when I didn't get to have her at my wedding because of the relationship we had. Well Faith your turn.

Faith: The thing I most regretted is making my Mom hate me so much that she gave me up for adoption.

Sophie: And why?

Faith: Well I guess because I wouldn't had to live in a place where I hated.

Sophie: Jules go ahead.

Jules: the thing I regretted most is hurting myself because of my Mom, because I am better than that and now I see how I didn't deserve the extra pain I put myself through.

~*At Dinner*~

Auggie: So Faith. How long were you at the home?

Faith: For about seven years.

Scott: Geese girl, why weren't you ever adopted?

Faith: Well I was adopted three times before this it's just they found out about me, you know my secrets, anyway they didn't want to deal with me so they sent me back.

Ezra: I don't know if I could do that I mean I would feel sort of used.

Faith took a sip of her milk and wiped her mouth with a napkin. Everyone at the table shook their head in agreement to Ezra's statement.

Faith: Well it's my life; I live where I am told.

Shelby: yeah but nobody should have to live like that.

Sophie: Good I am glade you see that now. Auggie?

Auggie: The thing I most regretted is getting into the gang with my brother, because I hurt my mom and I never met to do that.

Scott: Well I am next. The thing I most regretted is getting into drugs, because they screwed my life up bad.

Shelby: The thing I most regretted is becoming a women I never wanted to be, because I was better than that and It was the worse thing I could do.

Daisy: The thing I most regretted is hiding my true self under a mask, because it ate me up inside in till I finally took my mask off.

Ezra: The thing I most regretted is taking drugs, because like Scott said it screwed up my life.

David and Peter went with there's and then they broke group.

Faith: Um…. Peter could I go to the bathroom?

Peter: Yes of course you know where it is?

Faith: Yes.

Faith walked out the door and headed toward the girls dorm. Once she got there she grabbed her gray bag and stepped into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. She pulled out her journal and a pen and started writing in it.

Dear Journal,

Things are very different than I thought I would be here. I have never seen a place like this. The people are cool here and all so that's good. I met a really nice girl named Juliette but everyone calls her Jules. I've also met Scott, Auggie, Shelby, David, Daisy, and Ezra. I have to go to school tomorrow. I hate starting new schools with new people I don't know. It was hard enough meeting people here. Well anyway I my question of the day is "How can you feel so alone when your surrounded by people? I guess I'll find out some other time because I sure don't have the answer now. Well G2G. Write more laterz and I'll write more about here and the people.

~* ME *~

She pulled razor out of her bag *This is the only thing that makes me feel better * She thought to herself. And she slides it down her arm. The blood trickled down her arm and on to the floor. She sat there for a moment and let the pain sink in. She got a sudden urge of anger and she stood up. Just then…..
