Rebecca opened here eyes and winced at the pain that shot up her arm. She looked over at her cast. She would be out selling right now if the doctor hadn't insisted on a day or two of rest to let the arm set a little. Rebecca sat up in bed and looked over to the door. There was a plate sitting just inside the door and it looked as if it had been sitting there for a few hours. She walked over slowly and picked it up.

"What's for food today: rice, bread and a radish. I hate radishes." She made a face and sat back down on her bed. Her stomach growled and she sighed. "I know I know. Might as well eat it. Only get one meal a day." She picked up the bread and nibbled on it and thought about Blink.

I wonder what he's doing. I wonder if he's wondering about me. It's been two days and I haven't seen him. I wonder if he has noticed. Rebecca shook her head at her self. You're pitiful Rebecca. What makes you think a guy like him would like a guy like you. He was only being nice. She touched her lips again. She relived that moment over and over in her memories. She smiled feeling his lips on hers yet again. Would he really kiss someone to just be nice. Well what do you know. You haven't had anyone be nice to you since mom died. She shook her head at herself again and set the bread down. She had lost her appetite.

Rebecca reached under her pillow and pulled out an old, crinkled picture of a beautiful woman. She smiled and touched the picture lightly. "Hey momma. How are you? I'm ok. I met a boy, but I don't think I'll ever see him again." She sighed and put her head in her hands crushing the pictured to her face. "I miss you so much momma. I wish you were here. I love you." She cried into the picture.

After a little while she lifted her head and put the picture back under her pillow. She walked over to the mirror that sat on her floor, propped up against the wall. She sat down Indian style and looked at herself. Her once blond shoulder length hair now darkened from dirt. Her stepfather only let her shower once a week, but now with her arm the way it is, he said she couldn't shower till it was healed. Her dull hazel eyes matched her pale skin. Rebecca looked down at herself in disgust. She was so skinny she could see her ribs perfectly as if she was a skeleton. There's no way Blink could like me. I hope I never see him again. I don't want to give myself hope when I know nothing is there.

Rebecca picked up the mirror and threw it against the wall breaking it into a million pieces. She went over to her makeshift desk and pulled out the scissors she had found lying on the street one day. "You're ugly and stupid and pitiful!" she yelled to herself as she picked up her hair and started cutting it off. She kept cutting until it was near her scalp. She collapsed onto the floor, dropping the scissors and once again let the tears flow. She ignored the itchy feeling on her head from the lice. There was a knock on the door.

"Rebecca, What is going on in there?" Adrianna, her stepsister, called out. Rebecca sat up quickly and wiped the tears from her cheeks.

"Um, nothing. Everything's ok." She went to her closet quickly and threw a bandanna around her head.

"Can I come in?"

"Just a minute." Rebecca walked over to the door and opened it up. "What?" She looked at her stepsister. Adrianna was everything she wasn't. She had the beautiful, curly chestnut hair that most girls wished they had. She had a nice figured that most guys wanted. She wore the most beautiful dresses and got the best education. She was also the most wanted amongst her dads' business partners.

Adrianna flounced in, waving her fan in front of her face. "Why does it smell so awful in here." She scrunched up her nose and then looked at the broken mirror and the hair on the floor. "What have you been doing in here." She said her voice was high-pitched and annoying. She grabbed at the scarf before Rebecca could stop her. "Oh my god. Rebecca you filthy girl. What have you done."

"Nothing." She bit her lip and scratched her head.

"Get away from me. You lice-ridden girl." She said disgusted and ran out of the room. "Daddy...Rebecca cut off her hair!"

Rebecca sighed and looked down at her hair. "Now you've done it." She said aloud to herself and then went to cleaning up her hair.

Blink paced the floor for the millionth time.

"Blink sit down. Yer giving me motion sickness." Snap growled letting her hair down. She stood up and started brushing it out. Her hair went down to her waist. Her brown hair was touched with naturally red highlights that shined in the light. "What's eatin' you anyway."

"I'm worried about Becca." He finally let out.

"Becca?" Snap frowned. I hope Becca is a little girl from the orphanage.

"She's a girl I met about a week ago. She was selling flowers. I haven't seen her in a few days and I'm worried."

"You just met her and you're worried. What if she's busy. Ever think that maybe she just didn't have time for you." She growled and then blinked not realizing it would come out like that.

Blink frowned. "I have an awful feeling that's all."

"Well, how bout you relax and give it a few days. If you still don't see her, well then I don't know. I guess it's a lost cause."

"Don't say that. I'll find her." Blink nodded, determined.

Rebecca cradled her arm to herself. After hearing about what she did, her father had come in and let her have it again. He knew just what to do to make it hurt and that meant smacking up her burnt and broken arm. Her plate lay broken on the floor and the food lay all over.

Rebecca sighed and lied down for a few minutes. She was to go out and sell till all her flowers were gone. She had to make up for the two days she wasn't selling. She sat back up and went down on her knees, picking up some of the food and eating it. She coughed on some dust that was stuck on a piece of the bread and took a drink of water. She didn't have much water left and she had to make it last till tomorrow night.

"I wish I could go to sleep and never wake up." Rebecca said to herself and then went to sleep, wishing to not wake up tomorrow.
