"Thank you for giving us a chance Jordan"

My parents said as they smiled at me. My dad ruffled my head while my mom patted my shoulder.

Even though I had school tomorrow my real parents let me stay up late so I can talk to my fake parents. I just wanted this to be over. I don't know why I told them they can stay here.

This guy's feet smell like corn chips and this lady's breathe smells like a thousand butt holes.

"So Jordan, where did Silas get all this money from? This house sure is nice"

They've asked me about Silas's money ten times now. I just keep avoiding the question. It's none of their business how Silas makes his money.

"Since you guys just keep asking me about money I'm going to sleep"

I said about to get up. He grabbed a hold of my hand and pulled me back down. I know he didn't just touch me with his dirty ass fingertips.

"We're not just asking about the money for no reason. We just want to make sure that Silas isn't a criminal or something"

"I don't know where he gets his money from but I know he keeps it in the top right cabinet in the kitchen"

I said with a shrug. They just looked at each other with evil smiled on their faces. I don't know how are they my parents. They're weird as hell.

After I said good night I went upstairs to my room. On my way up I heard Bob said they've hit the jackpot. I'm telling you they're weird weird.

I walked in my parents room and laid on the bed. Since my real mom has been missing for nine years I don't claim her. My mom from now on is Nevaeh.

I sometimes sneak in here to cuddle up to them. I take the middle since Silas hates being away from Nevaeh. I love making him frustrated.

Soon after I took my place I slowly started to drift off to sleep. This feels like home.

Hours after I fell asleep a loud alarm went off. Kind of like a siren. Nevaeh popped out of bed and went to Everly while Silas took his gun from the drawer in the nightstand. He made sure I was okay then we left.

After everyone was safe we all made our way to where the alarm was ringing from. The sound lead us to the kitchen.

Right in the corner of the kitchen was my parents tied to the wall. They fell for my trap.

"What's going on here?"

"They were looking for money. I told them that you hid it in the cabinet so they waited for all of us to be asleep so they can steal it and go"

I said sadly. I thought that they really came back so they can get to know Silas and I. I thought they would stay for good. I guess I was wrong.

"Why would you do that Jordan? We're your parents" Bob said.

"I knew that Silas set up a trap for Nevaeh because she kept on eating all of our cookies. I thought you were better than that. Now I know why you guys wanted to stay here you can go"

I said with tears running down my face. Asking my parents to love me must be too much to ask.

Some girls get their first heartbreak from a boy. It's sad to say that my own parents caused my first heartbreak once they stepped foot out of the hospital room.

I went to my room and laid down. I lazily pulled the blanket over my body and cried myself to sleep.

Once I heard the first ring of the alarm I immediately threw it to the wall. I hate being woken up by that loud fire siren.

I was going to get up but a I felt movement behind me. I turned around and saw Silas smiling at me. He always does this when I'm sad.

"Hi dad"

I said as I yawned. He hugged me and squeezed me a little. I don't know why I tried talking to my parents anyways. Silas and Nevaeh is the parents every kid would be lucky to have.

"Since I'm sad can I stay home from school"

"You got be dead and I'm still going to bring your ashes to school. Go get ready"

Silas said with a smile on his face. He walked out and closed the door. I dragged my feet to the bathroom and started getting ready.

After I washed myself with a vanilla cream body wash I stepped out of the bathroom and went to brush my teeth. There's no way I could both wash myself and brush my teeth in the shower.

The shower is where I get my alone time and be a superhero who's called Captain Munch. Her only superpower is to eat food without gaining weight.

After I was done in the bathroom I walked into my room and went to my closet.

I picked out my yellow off the shoulder shirt with a black skater skirt. I also took my black sandals, yellow headband and Coco Chanel purse.

I might as well drown my sorrow by looking good.

When I walked into the kitchen I smiled brightly. Everly was in her high chair playing with Silas while Nevaeh was cooking breakfast. This is my little family.

"Good morning Jordan"

Nevaeh said turing away from the stove. At the mention of my name Everly started giggling.

"How about we spend some time together after school? Just me and you like old times"

Silas said looking at me with a smile on his face. I excitedly shook my head making sure he knows I want to spend some time with him.

"Where did the criminals go?"

I asked curiously. Before I went to sleep I heard a lot of screaming coming from downstairs. Knowing Silas something happened.

"Our father dearest is in the hospital and our mother dearest got her wig snatched by Nevaeh"

I laughed. They deserved it. They used me to get to Silas's money. As parents they're supposed to provide for us, not steal.

"Breakfast is ready"

Nevaeh said while fixing up our plates. Everly was eating a piece of bacon that Nevaeh put in front of her.

She sat down a plate of food that had two cinnamon rolls, cheesy eggs, grits, bacon and toast.

"Now I see why the doctor said Everly is too big for her age"

Silas said as he ate five pieces of bacon. If anyone should be overweight it should be him. He eats a truck load of food everyday.

After everyone was done eating Nevaeh's mom came to pick Everly and I up. Once I got to the car Myra and Tristan squeezed me in a hug.

"How did it go?"

"This morning was better than last night"

I said. I called them this morning while I was in the bathroom. Group FaceTime comes in handy. Even though I only have two friends.

Once I got to school Myra, Tristan, and I went to class. Right when we walked in Emily's dusty brother walked up to Myra.

He's the one that sent Myra the text yesterday. He's been trying to get on her good side ever since Tristan beat him up. He realised that Emily is dumber than a box of rocks and stopped listening to her after that.

"Hi Myra"

"Hi boy, shit"

Since he made fun of Myra's skin she's been really rude to him. I mean I don't blame her. If the person you liked made fun of your skin condition would you be nice to them?

"Myra I said I'm sorry for making fun of you like one hundred times now. What do I have to do for you to forgive me?"

"Stop apologizing because you can't take back what you said. Your best shot is to leave me alone and let me think about If I want to be friends with you"

He nodded his head and walked away. I can tell she was overwhelmed. He's been apologizing to her and bring her food since the day he realised he was wrong for making fun of her skin. She eats the food but she never forgave him.

"Come on guys settle down. Turn to page 254 and start on the word problems"

Time for me to figure out how to do the devil's work people call math.
