"You stupid dumb ass bitch!" A woman shouted out loud. Hitting the face of her daughter, Raelynn.

"Mom! I'm sorry!" Raelynn cried out.

"Sorry doesn't cut it that dinner isn't made yet! You know what turn around!"

"Mom please. I don't know how to cook what your asking me to- ah!"

Raelynn shouted in pain as her mother started to spank her. It left red marks on her skin even though her clothes were on. In the end it left Raelynn in tears, her mother had used her shoe.

"Your lucky it's me doing it and not your father. He would do so much worse than just ass slaps. Now go to bed!" Her mother screamed, sending a loud ringing noise through her eardrums.

Raelynn woke up from the dream after it had ended. She looked around to see where she was, her bedroom. Her foster bedroom to be exact.

The walls were a painted light shade of rose red, decorated with black roses. Her bedspread was a light shade of pink with pink, white, and black pillows. On the bedside table was her alarm going off for school. It played Confident by Demi Lovato.

"So that's the ring in my ears." She scoffed slightly, turning off the alarm as quick as it had sounded. She got out of her bed and went to shower in the bathroom.

She scrubbed her tan body gently with soap, water, and a rag. She started to shampoo her hair as well. After her shower she went back to her room and put on the clothes she had set out last night.

A white floral crop top, that showed little to no cleavage, frill floral hem shorts to go with the top and a light tan colored fedora.

She grabbed her crossbody book bag and put it on one of her shoulders walking out of her room, her phone in her bag.

She went to the kitchen, getting an apple from the fruit bowl. Then went back upstairs.

She gently kissed both her parents heads as they were still sleeping and knew she could handle herself in the mornings. She smiled and finished her apple on the way to school.

Raelynn ran towards the park, getting in a jog for her promise she made to herself to stay fit. She came to a stop at a bench when she started to wheeze. Having asthma since the third grade.

Raelynn coughed, unable to breathe in her science class as the smell got to her.

"Raelynn are you alright?" Asked her teacher.

Raelynn started to nod then fainted as her breathing came to a holt.

At the hospital her parents were told that she had asthma. Ever since then Raelynn had been very cautious with her breathing.

Pushing the memory aside smoke filled the air, causing her to cough. She looked at the trail to see where it was coming from then she saw the source of it.

A man with silky dark hair  and peach skin was leaned upon against a tree, a cigarette lit and held to the tip of his mouth as he pulled it away to breathe it out.

Raelynn stepping up from her observations went to confront the male, but then tripped on a branch. It made the male stop smoking and look at her. He offered a hand to help her up.

Raelynn caught a glimpse of his eyes finally, they were a dark brown, she felt her ears burn at the sight of him.
