Guys! Thank you so much for your reviews. I was really overwhelmed and I always say that they motivate me to write...so as promised I update very, very fast. I know, Phoebe sometimes is really a brat and not nice to Sam. You will get to see why she is like that and what really happened in the past with her... and of course there will follow lots of funny moments and Scotts/Bakers interaction. But right now...everything is a bit dramatic ;)

Julian drove Phoebe to the Scotts and wanted to hug her but she pushed him away, "No thanks." and went inside.

Nathan tried to hide his laugh and went over to Phoebe, "Unbelievable Phoebe. Sam is such a horrible person and they are letting her live with you. Unbelievable."

Phoebe looked up at him "Making fun of me is not making me feel any better." she said harsh and he looked stunned after her when she went up to Jamie's room. Phoebe could not really tell what she felt at the moment. She felt sad, furious and like crying at the same time. She felt like Julian and Brooke loved Sam more and would forget her now.

Meanwhile Sam, Brooke and Julian were eating and talking about everything. Of course Sam wanted to know more about Phoebe, "So, she basically grew up with a horrible father and then lived on the street. Wow. She must be a very cool person.", Sam smiled.

She liked the fact that Phoebe was a foster kid as well and having a little sister was somehow cool as well. She had always wished for siblings. Of course she still did not know whether it was a good decision to stay with them. She did not want to add trouble.

"Yes, she is.", Brooke said proudly and felt a bit guilty sitting at the table laughing and talking without Phoebe, "But enough about Phoebe. What happened with Rebecca? I am really worried.", Brooke asked her and Sam was relieved that Brooke was interested.

"Well, she got that new boyfriend and he did not want me in the house and soon she did not either."

Brooke was shocked to hear that and went over and hugged Sam from behind, "I am sorry Sam. I am really sorry. I knew how much it meant to you to live with your…mother.", Brooke felt a bit jealous that Rebecca was her real mother and Sam could feel this and smiled happily.

"Well, I am glad to be back.", she gave Brooke a kiss on the cheek and continued eating.

Julian looked happily at the two of them and felt that everything was going to be allright.

"Sam is here?", Jamie asked happily, "Oh you will love her. Wait. Why are you here?"

"I so do not love her. She's the bitch that is with Joshua and she makes fun of me and I cannot stand her face and she tries to replace me."

Jamie rolled his eyes by her rambling, "She was there first you know and no one can replace you. She is really cool Phoebe."

"Fine if you all think that she is so cool, maybe I should just vanish into nothing.", she stormed out of her room and went into Lisa's because she was the only one that did not remember Sam and told her how precious this stupid girl was.

"Want to play?", Phoebe asked the little one who nodded immediately.

"Why do you look so sad?", Lisa asked Phoebe confused while combing her dolly.

"Because my sister and Julian don't want me any more." Phoebe said softly and combed the dolly as well.

"Why?", Lisa asked confused.

"Because they got a real foster kid that can call them mommy and daddy.", Phoebe replied and got more jealous each second.

"But that's not nice and aunt Brooke and uncle Julian are always nice."

"Yeah. Whatever."

"Does that mean mom and dad won't want me when I am older?" Phoebe raised her eyebrow and looked down at Lisa.

"What? No. Oh Lisa. No of course not. They love you very much and they want you your whole life long." Lisa felt a bit relieved.

"You can share my room with me forever.", she suggested and Phoebe laughed.

"That is very nice of you. Maybe I'll do that for a while."

The next morning Phoebe awoke with having Lisa cuddling closer to her. That little girl was a sweetie.

Haley went into the room, "Wake up you two.", she looked down at the cuties and smiled. Her daughter had chosen Phoebe as her big idol and it was so sweet how Phoebe treated her. Lisa ran into the bathroom but Phoebe stayed in bed and went under the blanket, "I know you're not a morning person, but it's time to go to school. Your teacher would be very mad if you're late.", Haley took her blanket and then pulled her into the bathroom.

Phoebe looked sadly up at her, "But can't you just tell the teacher that I am sick?"

Haley pinched her nose. "No, I cannot. That would mean that I have to lie to myself.", Phoebe looked so sad and like she was about to cry.

"Kiddo.", Haley went down towards her "she does not replace you. Sam is really a nice person. Just give her a chance and you two will be inseparable. I promise you that. You know I am always right."

Phoebe shook her head "No way."

The phone rang again and Haley gave it to Phoebe, "It's your sister for the sixth time this morning."

"I don't want to talk to any of them.", Phoebe said stubbornly and closed the door behind her to take a shower.

"I am sorry Brooke. She is just as stubborn as you are.", Haley smiled into the phone.

"God Haley. I hope she'll come home sooner or later."

"Trust me, she will."

"Thanks for having you tutor mom"

"Any time tigger."

Phoebe and Jamie went to school but did not talk a word to each other. Well, Jamie talked but Phoebe was too stubborn to even look at him. Phoebe was not prepared for the next thing. She was called into the principal's office with one of the cheerleaders, "Miss Ferguson. We've heard that you lied about your age?", he started immediately and Phoebe wished to be somewhere else and turned red.

"Um...I...", she stuttered.

"You told all the pupils that you were fourteen, is that right?" Phoebe looked away and nodded. Her cheer friend was sitting besides her and then took her hand.

"Phoebe. It's not important to us but the rule is that you have to be at least fourteen to become the captain. So you'll be replaced."

Phoebe looked shocked at her but understood. She tried to suppress her tears. Why was everything suddenly turning into a nightmare? "And I want you to tell everyone who thinks you're fourteen that you're eleven. We are really proud of you for skipping grades and you don't have to be ashamed of your talent." Phoebe nodded but looked away.

"Now you two go to class. Phoebe, you can decide who will be the next cheer captain until the end of this month." Phoebe walked to her class again, everyone looked at her like she was a new person.

Her friend Rory came to her, "Phoebe, you could have really told us." Phoebe did not know what to say.

"I am sorry.", she whispered.

"Don't be. We still love you.", her friends hugged her and Phoebe smiled at them and was happy to have such good friends.

"So what? You skipped some classes. Are only eleven. Perfect for us. Now you cannot take all the cute guys from us.", a girl named Rachel said from behind.

"And why is that so?", Phoebe laughed back.

"Well, because now you are officially the freshman's mascot. You always looked cute but now that you're only eleven you officially got the price of cuteness. Every boy will big brother you."

Phoebe widened her eyes and slapped her playfully "I hate you."

"Nah kiddo. You love me.", Rachel pinched her nose and rolled her eyes when class started. Rachel had become her friends immediately when she had started school. Although she was dressing a bit slutty and her main theme were boys, she had a good sense of fairness and helped Phoebe a lot. Phoebe was really sad of having to give up her captain position and thought about giving it to Rachel.

Although her friends kept on being her friends there were some students who picked on her as well. Well, it was school. And no one would go through school without stupid fights.

"Well, well. If this isn't the little Miss Phoebe Ferguson that expelled me from the squad?", Phoebe was in the dressing room when she saw Zoey standing with her arms crossed in front of her. She knew that this would mean problems. But when she saw Zoey's boyfriend and another girlfriend coming in as well, she knew that this would mean big problems.

"What do you want?", Phoebe decided not to call her any name because she knew that she would not stand a chance to fight against three sixteen year old students.

Zoey sat down on the bench in front of her and just looked at Phoebe, "I heard you're not even thirteen. Right? You lied to all of us. You expelled me although you're not even allowed to be the cheer captain. What I want? I want you to know that this was not right."

Zoey smiled to her friends who nodded and looked down at Phoebe. Phoebe looked from one to another and suddenly felt very small. She just wished to get out of the dressing room.

"Have you lost your words bitch?", Zoey suddenly pushed Phoebe backwards, so that she fell against her locker. Of course it hurt but Phoebe would never admit this, she stood up again and looked at the three of them. She did not know what to say and then Zoey held her tight at her shirt, so that Phoebe was almost not touching the ground any more with her feet.

"You are a little whore and I want you to know that no one treats me like you did.", Zoey almost spit in her face. Of course Phoebe knew that her next move was stupid but nevertheless she kicked Zoey into her stomach, so that she let go of her. She had to defend herself. Nobody else was there to do it for her. Immediately Phoebe tried to run outside but Zoey's boyfriend took her by the hair and pulled her backwards. "Owwwww…", Phoebe screamed and took her hand on his hand to prevent him from pulling more at her hair but he just slapped her hard in the face and threw her against the wall. Phoebe's whole body was hurting and she could not believe that this big boy was using his strength against her. She knew that there was not way to escape the dressing room.

"Don't you dare hit my girlfriend.", he screamed at her. Phoebe had no time to react because Zoey grabbed her again and hit her like a thousand times everywhere with her fist. "Stooooooop.", of course Phoebe protected herself but some hits still bruised her pretty bad, "Leave me alone.", Phoebe finally screamed when she lay at the wall totally exhausted.

"Look at this kiddo. We are going to make you a YouTube-star.", Phoebe looked up to the other girl and realized that she was filming all of it, "Get out of your shirt.", Zoey was standing in front of Phoebe and yelling at her.

"No.", Phoebe said and stood up but immediately the boy pushed her down to the ground, her head hit it hard and he sat down on her lap.

"Get off me you asshole.", Phoebe tried to get free and kicked wildly but he was too heavy and just laughed down at her.

Zoey came over to them and started to pull off Phoebe's trousers, "Noooo.", Phoebe screamed when she realized what she was about to do. Zoey's girlfriend put Phoebe in an upright position again and smiled down at her. "Now the shirt.", he said while Phoebe kicked wildly. But he just held her arms up and Zoey managed to take off her shirt as well. He pushed her to the ground again and her first tear came down her cheek.

"I hate you.", she screamed at them and stood up immediately and hated standing in front of them in her underwear, "Stop filming.", she wanted to kick the girl that filmed her but Zoey started another punching attack to her stomach that made her fall to the floor again and holding her stomach in pain.

"Don't cry Phoebe.", Zoey laughed.

"I am not crying you fucking whore. You hit like a kid.", Phoebe said from the floor but in reality Zoey had a pretty good hitting fist.

"Oh really?" Zoey took her boyfriend's belly and then pulled Phoebe forcefully in a standing position, "Look at you. You don't even have a sign of breasts.", Zoey ripped off Phoebe's bra and left her standing almost naked in front of them.

Phoebe immediately covered her breasts with her arm and turned around, so that the camera was not filming her from the front. But this was what Zoey wanted. She suddenly hit Phoebe so hard with her belly at her back that blood was appearing immediately.

"Zoey, c'mon. I think this is enough." The girl behind the camera said to her when she saw how bad Phoebe's back looked after many hits. Phoebe could not help but was crying now into her hands.

Zoey looked at the girl and yelled, "This bitch has to learn a lesson.", she took another camera and told her boyfriend to hold Phoebe.

"Hold back her arms. I wanna show everyone what a kid she is." Phoebe tried to get free from his grip but he was way bigger and everything hurt.

"Smile.", Zoey made one picture after another while her boyfriend held Phoebe in a position she could not escape.

"Nobody treats me bad.", Zoey squeezed Phoebe's cheeks while her arms were still held by Zoey's boyfriend.

"Fuck off.", Phoebe spit in Zoey's face.

This increased Zoey's fury and she hit Phoebe a few times on her belly. Phoebe closed her eyes all the time and bit her own lip. It was not the first time that she was hit by a belly but every time it hurt the same. Finally the boy and Zoey let go off her and went outside.

Phoebe lay on the ground and could not move. Her whole body was aching from all the punches, "Great.", she whispered and started crying into her hands again. Why were those things always happening to her?

Sam was walking down the hall when she saw three of her classmates coming out of the dressing room laughing loudly.

"Let's upload it now.", Zoey smiled and the others nodded. "This bitch has to learn a lesson."

Of course Sam did not know what they meant but when she heard someone crying in the dressing room she entered it. She was shocked what she saw. Brooke's sister was lying on the ground in her underpants and crying into her hand. Her whole body was in bruises and some scratches were even bleeding on her back and on her stomach. It was now that Sam realized how small Phoebe really was and looked and that she was far away from being a teenager. She could see that Phoebe was trying to catch air and tried to calm herself.

"Oh my god.", Sam ran to her and kneed down. Phoebe immediately looked up at her and took her hands in front of herself as if she wanted to protect herself from Sam. But Sam was not there to hit her at all.

"I won't hurt you Phoebe. What happened?", Sam was really concerned "Can you breath?", Of course she felt pity with Phoebe and wanted to help her.

"Fuck…of okay. This…is…all your fault.", Phoebe stuttered through her breathing. Her asthma was not making it easy for her. She did not have many problems because of it but sometimes, especially when she was crying hard or had been hit, she had trouble breathing.

"Phoebe. I really did not mean this at all. Was it Zoey…and her friends?" Sam wanted to help her up but Phoebe did not take her hand and stood up on her own.

"Like you care. Leave me alone. Go and live with Brooke and Julian. Go and have a happy life but just leave me alone.", she yelled so loud at Sam that Sam flinched. Sam did not say anything any more but looked at Phoebe how she tried to get dressed again.

Phoebe's face showed her pain but still she managed to get dressed while crying all the time and then started walking out of the room.

She hobbled a bit and had to bite her lip because of the pain but was even more annoyed when Sam came after her, "Wait Phoebe. I think you need to go see a doctor and we have to tell someone what happened."

Phoebe looked up at Sam and stood still for a moment, "Isn't that what you wanted? Just leave me alone, okay. Tell your new mommy and daddy that they don't have to worry about me any more. Now, get out of my way.", Phoebe pushed Sam to the side and Sam just looked worried after her. She had never seen someone acting that stubborn but somehow she liked it.

Phoebe walked home to the Scotts. She was glad that no one was at home and packed her stuff while crying all the time. She hated herself for doing this but she could not handle it any more and she was used running away from problems. Unfortunately problems seemed to wait on every corner.

She was glad that she still had some money left. But this time it was different. She had the urge to write all of them a letter. But she had no time. She knew that the Scotts would come home sooner or later, so she just wrote one for all.

"I am sorry that I am such a disappointment to everyone. Thank you for all the things you did to me. I was really happy for a while but I guess I don't belong into your perfect world and trust me, sooner or later you'll realize that life without me is better and especially easier. Don't worry. I have a lot of friends out there and I will take care of myself. Just forget me.

Phoebe"

Phoebe cried while she was writing those sentences. Of course she wanted to write more. Of course she wanted to cry in someone's arms but somehow she could not. And of course she knew that it was not fair running away like this but she could not stay here. She just could not.

She went out of the door and walked slowly to the bus station. She wished she could walk faster but her body prevented her from doing so. Finally she sat in the bus to nowhere.

What she did not know was that Sam had followed her and was right now sitting one row behind her and listened to her phone call. Sam had known that Phoebe would run away. Sometimes Phoebe reminded her a bit of a younger version of herself.

"Hello Macy."

"Phoebe? Is that you?"

"Yeah. Um…Could I live with you for a while?"

"What? Why? I thought everything went great with your sister?"

"Nah. You know me.", Phoebe faked a smile.

"What happened pumpkin?"

"Could we talk later? Just tell me whether I can stay with you for a while?"

"Phoebe…You know you can't."

Phoebe started to cry into the phone, "Please. I don't know where to go and I really miss you."

There was a silence on the phone but then Macy answered, "Be careful Phoebe. We are waiting for you."

Phoebe was crying into her hands for hours and tried to catch her breath.

Sam knew that she would get into big troubles with Brooke and Julian but somehow she had felt that Phoebe was going to run away.
