Well i guess this is it. This is how i was going to die, all alone. And the sad part is that no one will even notice that I'm gone.

But I have to stay strong. I can't give them the satisfaction of seeing my tears, I've been successfully withstanding this bullshit for so long and I'm more than capable of withstanding a little bit longer.

"Arianna we missed you so much. Thank god you decided to come back to us, we're after all your family." Family? My ass.

I hate Ms.Davis, she owned the place and she hates children, see how that's a problem? But she hates me the most, for a reason unknown to me.

"Cat got your tongue?, speak up bitch" she snarled at me, but I just kept my gaze focused on the ground not wanting to anger her any further.

Just as she was about do anything further, someone rang the door bell, oh thank god! "I'll take care of you later" she spat and walked away.

I make my way back to my old room which consisted of a restroom and a small bed by the window, there was a small wardrobe in the corner. That's pretty much it.

I usually stay locked up in here because of all the people around.

One thing that always seemed to amaze me is the amount of happiness some people get from hurting other people, I mean I think twice before killing an insect. How do they live with themselves after beating some one up senseless. Sadistic bastards!

I lock my door and window and lay in my bed with a few books which I've probably read a million times.

After my parents died they offered to take me to my house one last time but I refused to go there I just couldn't, but I requested them to get a few books from my mums collection. My Mum loved to read, I guess I've taken after her.

The house is in police custody and I'm the legal owner, but I'm not old enough to retrieve it. I wish one day I'll be able to go back and hopefully with someone I can call family.

I woke up to sunlight falling on my face, I must've fallen asleep. I just sit there for some time before I get up to brush my teeth and take a shower.

I'm done and all dressed up 15 minutes later. I open my door and look at the big grandpa clock across the hall. It's 9:45 am and I'm extremely hungry. But what if they see me?

You know what screw it, I'm not letting those bastards stop me from eating, I mean it's my wish if I want to eat.

I make my way to the kitchen, to find a huge plate filled with pancakes, Yay! I grab 2 pancakes and pour a good amount maple syrup on top to go with it.

After I'm done I decide to go back to my room when suddenly I was shoved to the wall, again. What's with people shoving people into walls here?

"Arianna you're back we missed you so much, didn't we boys?" Ugh! I hate these assholes, they have been nothing but a pain in the ass.

The nitwit and his gang think its funny to see my sad, they thought it was funny to make Ms Davis fall and blame it on me, they also thought it was extremely funny to throw my in the bin that one time because according to them they were just trying to show me where I truly belonged. Brainless I tell you.

"Don't you anywhere to be Zack?" "Nah, I'd rather be here with you, you know to catch up on things" I rolled my eyes at that. "Were you always this stupid or is it just today?"

"Oh bitch did you just talk back to me?" Dumbass. "you obviously heard me so yes I did talk back to you."

I would never have the guts to talk back to Ms Davis mostly because she runs the place and I'm in it. Regardless of her behaviour towards me, she's still the reason I have a roof over my head so I do owe something to her. But I don't have to be answerable to this useless pile of bullshit, I owe him nothing. Why doesn't he understand that??

"You're going to pay bitch" before I could reply, he punched me real hard on my face which had me flying across the room. (not literally lol)

I have to admit the boy has strength, maybe a little too much, probably to compensate for lack of brain.

Before I could get up they started hitting, kicking and all of that. I could tell they were yelling really mean things at me, but I didn't care enough to actually listen to what they were saying. Like I said, the things they say doesn't really affect me.
I don't give 2 shits about these people and what they say. They can go to hell, that's where they're going to end up anyway burning in the fire while I'm sat in heaven sipping my banana smoothie with god, laughing at them. Yeah, I can be weird at times.

They eventually stopped and went away without another word, probably mad because they didn't get any reaction out of me.

I dragged myself to my room and just had me a nice long shower.

I somehow made it to my bed. I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt, because it hurt A LOT! But I really don't want to be one of those people who get beaten up and then become depressed and cut i know how it feels to go through all that.

But no, I refuse to let that happen again because the only way to survive is if I fight, not pity my situation and loath my existence. Going back into my shell and caving in would mean they win and I won't let that happen.

_____ 3 days later_____

The past three days have been uneventful except for my routine role as a punch bag.

It's currently somewhere around noon and I'm just doodling in one of my note books when there's a knock on the door, I sigh loudly and open my door to find Laura, Ms Davis's assistant standing there.

"Afternoon Hun!" She said to me with a smile which instantly made me smile. I love Laura, she's always been really nice to me but I don't really see her that often to have a proper conversation.

"Some people are here here to meet you" meet me?? now who would want to meet me??

"Are you sure they want to meet me?? There must be a mistake" "no, no mistake. C'mon hurry up and I think you should pack all your things. I should get going now, come to the office when you're done".

Who'd want to meet me? As far as I remember I don't have any relatives in London, and even if I do why now and not before?. My head is bombarded with thoughts but I silently pack whatever little I have....
