I cling tightly to bundle of books I hold my hands, my house is still far away. It’s better to be away from that place. I stare at the pavement as the water pours down from the sky; within moments I find myself on the ground I look up to meet the blue eyes from an unfamiliar face. He kneels down next

My family has been a foster home since the middle of my eighth grade year. We hadn’t had kids until everything changed October 30, 2012, my freshman year of high school. It was a regular school day, everyone talking about their Halloween plans, what parties they were going to, and who was "too old" to trick or treat.
