Chapter 4 – Roommates

Amelia looked around her room, taking in all the bland walls with small pictures that attempted to brighten the room. Her eyes slowly came down and landed upon a small girl sitting on a bed. Her small, but seemingly stern, finger pointed at the empty bed next to her. She had a dark, almost angry, look on her face. Her jet black hair further illuminated the effect of hatred. Amelia could tell she didn't want her there, but she had no choice, and as Amelia sat down the girl dropped her finger and lied down on her bed. Amelia's father sat her trunk at the end of her bed and kissed her good-bye. Her mother gave her a tight hug and kissed her on the cheek.

"Honey, I will call you soon, okay," She said as she headed towards the door. She blew her daughter a kiss and closed the door.

"Those your parents?" The girl asked Amelia.

"My foster parents," Amelia answered.

"What's your name?" The girl sad up and faced Amelia.

"Amelia. What's yours?"

"Olivia, but everyone calls me Libby. This your first year here?" Libby had an accent that Amelia couldn't place. She decided it was southern.

"Yeah."

"I've been here for three years. My parents ain't ever come back to see me neither."

"Why not?"

"Don't know. They just left and never came back. Don't want me, I guess."

"That's horrible!'

"Not as horrible as your parents. Your parents got rid of you as a baby and new parents had to take you. They didn't even want you to begin with. At least I have hope that I might see my parents again." Libby lied back down on her bed. Amelia was shocked. She had never thought of that before. She could already tell that she wouldn't like being roommates with this girl, but she had no choice and she was too afraid to ask the lady at the front desk to move her. This place just got worse and worse the longer she stayed. And she know things would continue to get worse before they got better.

A/N: I really want reviews, good or bad. Constructive criticism wanted! You can even review saying the story sucks. JUST REVIEW!!!
