Thankx for the feedback! I don't know if this is gonna sound like it's suppose to... but anywho... we'll give it a shot! O, I thought of this on the way to school, maybe I'll continue it and make it into a poem or something… 'cause I move fast as light, to some I give fright… I need to think of something more to add, but it would be a good…um…middle to a poem!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Two days later they released me from the hospital. They told me that I had recovered quickly. The day that they released me I met two people that were going to be my 'foster parents'. They told me that they would look after me until I had a family to adopt me. They had asked me what my name was, and I had told them I couldn't remember.

I remember they looked at Dr. Jason. He told them that probably not all of my memory would come back, so he told me to pick a name. I had decided that I liked Jason already and decided that I also liked them name. Of course, I knew Jason was a boy's name so I chose Jace. It

seemed familiar for some reason.

"So how do you feel?" Maria had asked me once we had gotten out of the hospital. I didn't reply. I only smiled. For some reason I felt as though it wasn't right to talk a lot. I felt as though I would be punished. I had caught on to some of the local language when Dr. Jason started talking to me more once I recovered from my hearing problem. I still found it odd but everyone else seemed to use it so I'm sure at one point I did too.

They brought me to their home and showed me my room. They told me that the police had put out a found child posters all over the city but no one had claimed me yet. After they showed me their house, the neighborhood and my school we went shopping for clothes. The only clothes I had were the ones that they had bought me to come home in.

As we were driving to the shopping mall they finally asked the question

that had been bugging me for a while, John turned around and looked at me, then at Maria, then finally asked me, "Dr. Jason said back at the hospital that when he asked you about parents you seemed to not understand. Is that true?" I nod my head. "Do you know what parents are?" I shake my head.

"Parents are, well, people who look after you, take care of you, carer you, they love you. We are sort of like parents to a lot of kids, only we aren't permanent. That's why we are called foster parents." He replied.

Okay, 'parents'. It still doesn't seem familiar, but o well, who knows, the doctor said it would be a while until I got it all back, if I even got it all back…

"We're here! Everyone out!" Called Maria from the drivers seat. I climb out of the car to see a HUGE building! We walk inside and there are many rooms inside. All the doors are open with clothes inside. Maria takes me into one of the rooms.

We are walking through the 'store' where a lady comes up to us.

"Can I help you?" She asks in a polite voice.

"No, that's alright, we're just browsing. But thankx anyway." Maria replies right away. "So what do you like to wear? Pants or skirts?"

I look down and point to my pants.

"I take it pants." Replied John. "So what size are you?"

I look at him. My size? I'm this size. What did he think? That I could change sizes or something?

"You don't know do you?" Once again I nod my head. "Here, why don't you try these on?" He hands me a pair of jeans. He brings me over to a small room and tells me to change into them.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

From John's point of view

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Maria I'm telling you there is something wrong with that girl! She hasn't said anything since she told us her name!"

"O, just give it time! She can't remember anything from before, it'll probably take a while to adjust! I mean, for all we know she could have been a kid just roaming around on the streets for her life and she is probably still adjusting! Don't worry, I'm sure she'll come around in a few days!"

I hear the change room door open. She comes out wearing the pair of blue jeans Maria picked out for her. They fitted her perfectly! "Why don't we get you a few pairs of pants and a few shirts and sweatshirts. Then when you find a permanent family you can get more!"

"Why don't you try these on?" Maria handed her two sweatshirts and a T- shirt. I'll get you some socks and undies and then we can go get you some proper shoes!" I looked down at her feet. She was wearing a pair of Maria's old runners. Yes, we would defiantly need to get her some of those too.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

later on that day when they finally got back form their shopping trip John was exhausted.

****************

"I can tell I'm not the only tired one!" I said, "Maria why don't you go have a nap? I'll show Jace where to put her clothes then I'll go have a nap myself. And Jace," He looked over at her, "If your tired you can too." But he could that she wasn't exhausted, not even tired. But she nodded anyway. Maria had left to go have a nap, so I showed Jace where to put her clothes in the drawers. I noticed that Maria really had bought her a lot of clothes. Maybe she was starting to get as attached as I was to this girl…

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Jace's point of view again.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After I put my clothes away I decided that I could use a little sleep. Dr. Jason had told me that I would need lots of sleep to fully recover from my stay at the hospital so I decided to take a nap.
