Jacks POV
I woke up feeling sick and groggy. I opened my eyes to see I was in an unfamiliar place. A hospital room.
A man walked in with a lady with him. They smiled when they saw I was awake. I noticed the doctor was standing outside the door but didn't come in.
"Hello Sean, how are you feeling?" The man, how was in a police uniform, asked. I shuddered at my real name.
"Please don't call me that," I whispered under my breath. The policeman nodded.
"What would you prefer?" His voice was calm and soothing now. I slightly relaxed at the sound of it but not much.
"Uh, J-Jack," I stuttered, feeling slightly dizzy. He nodded before motioning to the lady to speak up.
"Hello Jack, my name is Trish, I'm a social worker and I have come to take you to a safe place. You won't be living with your parents anymore," she said kindly. (Trish was my social worker so :D)
"W-where am I going to?" I asked, realizing I probably won't know anyone. Her smile softened.
"We will send you to a foster care family and they'll look after you for a while. If you feel uncomfortable with them just tell me. I'll visit you after a week to see how you are going," Trish explained. I just nodded silently as they left to talk to the doctor.
I was going to be living with complete strangers. What if they don't like me? What if they end up bullying me because I'm different?
All my thoughts swirled around my head as I was lead to a rather posh car and driven somewhere... My parents house.
My mum answered the door and I watched her talk to Trish and the policeman from the car. She handed over all my things rather quickly. Had they predicted I was being taken away?
I didn't really care because it meant I could get away from here as fast as possible.
Trish came back and held a pen out to me. I just stared at it before looking at her blankly.
"Your mother said you should have it. So you can talk to your true love," she quickly explained.
I looked at the bandages that covered my entire arm and wrapped around my hands, making it hard to pick up things.
I looked back at her with an expression that said 'really bitch'. She realized her mistake and sighed.
"Sorry, I'll keep it on me for now." She turned around and drove down the road for a while. I fell asleep in the car because I was so tired.
I woke up to Trish gently shaking me. She smiled and got out of the car. I was confused at first until I realize we had arrived at the house.
Trish came round to my side and opened the door for me, help in me get out even though I said I didn't need it.
"You must be Jack," a females voice called from behind me. I turned to see a women standing with two girls around my age next to her.
I nodded and looked down, playing with the hem of my bandages. I stayed silent as Trish told the lady what I would need and took my bags out of the back. I watched as her car drove away down the road.
"So Jack, how about we get you settled in shall we?" The lady asked kindly. I tried to smile but couldn't, so I gave up and just took a shaky breath.
"Hey, I'm Dodger. And this is Minx, my sister(I know they aren't but shush)," one of the girls said holding her hand out.
I just looked at her hand before looking at her blankly. I put my hands in the pickets of the jumper I had put on.
She took it as a sign of me being shy and just shrugged it off before running inside happily. I looked over at Minx and she just gave me a reassuring smile before following her sister inside.
I took a shaky breath and slowly followed, looking at the ground as the mother, I presumed, followed me behind.
I gapped at how big the house was once I was inside. I heard the sound of video hames and followed it to the living room to see Dodger and Minx playing overwatch on the TV.
"You like video games?" Minx asked as she turned to look at me quickly. I silently nodded and sat down next to them on the floor.
I watched them play for hours. Just enjoying having some company. I even laughed sometimes when Dodger got angry at someone and started making stupid noises.
Minx would make funny noises when running around and shooting people.(something I do XD) It really lightened the mood a little. Then it was time for dinner and I knew I would regret eating.
"Why aren't you eating your food? Its delicious," Dodger said in her enthusiastic voice. I smiled at her weakly.
"I'm not used to eating so much. I haven't eaten properly since...," I stopped as I felt like crying. I immediately swallowed the tears and began to eat a little bit of my food as the table fell silent.
This was going to take a while to get used to. And definitely even longer before I talk properly to people.
~smol time skip~
I lay on my new bed staring up at the ceiling. I heard a soft knock on my door and turned to see Minx peep her head in. I looked back at the ceiling, motioning with my hand to come in.
She closed the door behind her and walked over to my bed, sitting on the end of it. She was silent for a few moments before speaking up.
"We know what you're going through Jack, Me and Dodger. We went through a pretty similar circumstance. We understand that you just need time to get used to all this but I just wanted to say...," she paused to takes a shaky breath.
"...don't block out the world, don't take it out on yourself either and definitely do not blame yourself for all this. It was not your fault okay?" I looked at her. Her face held a serious yet sad look.
I nodded as a lump formed in my throat. I knew I was about to cry and so did Minx.
She quickly lifted me up and hugged me. I hugged back tightly and cried into her shoulder. I cried until I couldn't cry anymore. Then I fell asleep in her warm arms.
