chapter 1
I was born in Chicago, my birth mom died in a car accident and my birth dad was so depressed he got addicted to drugs. Then I was put in the foster system. The whole system is screwed up. I'm 15 and I have been in 6 different homes and juvie 3 times. I was once put in this group home with this old lady and she fell and died. That's not even the worst, I got adopted.
You may be like “oh i'm so happy for you”. No, it's not like that. I have a little sister who is 5. Well I guess she is about 10 now, wow it's been a while. When I went to juvie the second time we got separated. I was devastated. My social worker didn't even care. She was just happy she got rid of me.
My new “family” isn't any better than my birth dad too. My “dad” died of lung cancer and my “mom” is super abusive to me. She has two biological kids that she loves with all her heart though. The younger one is named Ally, she is 7 and the older one is named Ollie and he is 17.
So bla-bla-bla sad story whatever. So I've decided that I'm gonna run away so I can find my sister and save her. Yeah, 3 years on the streets, I can do it though. Just like juvie. Fend for yourself, stay unnoticed, and most importantly DON'T TRUST ANYONE. Anyway I'm leaving tomorrow,
I have my bag packed with the little things I have, and some food I casually found on a shelf at a*****e. Long story, well not that long but i don't want to waste your time. I packed it all in a wagon that I can roll so I don't need to carry everything.
I have 200 dollars that I took from my “mom”. I know it's not much but all i really need to do is find my sister then i can figure it out from there.
Let me say some stuff about my little sister. Well from what I remember from 5 years ago. She is so stubborn. Well she is a taurus so i'm not surprised. Not trying to be lame or anything by bringing up zodiac signs but mines a scorpio. That will explain a lot about why I've been in juvie so much. Sorry that's off topic.
Anyway, my little sister for all I know is out looking for me too. Oh my god i didn't even mention her name yet. Her name is Julie. Me and Julie were super close, I am like a mother to her, well I guess I was like a mother. God, I hope I can find her. I miss her so much.
Well I'm packed with everything I need and I'm leaving tomorrow at precisely 2am.
When I get up at 2 I get my bags. I walk out the front door. And that's when I saw her.
