as the door opened, Marcia bounding into the room, I swear that girl's feet never touched the floor while she walked,"Audrey,Mrs Greene called for you",she said to me with a smile as I parted her hard and went downstairs

wide and content smile on her face, I'm pretty sure she was so happy at the amount of money she would make off me, I sighed as I turned back upstairs to grab my stuff, as I hoisted my bag on my shoulder,Marcia approached me, her bottom lips quiver

pretty ,slender woman with pin straight blonde hair like man walked towards us, she was dressed impeccably, she could even pass off for my mother with that hair, I mused silently ,she approached us with smiles, as I pulled my the hood of my hoodie, she suddenly stopped, her perfect poise gone,"My, do you two look alike",Mrs Greene muttered, as the lady regained her composure,"it must be the hair, I presume, it isn't all that common", she smiled widely, her eyes glinting with happiness, "You must be Audrey, I'm so happy to see you ",she wrapped me in a bear hug , she smelt so nice and felt so warm but I was conflicted on if I should hug her back or not."I'm Lila,Lila Mc'Brad", she sontinued still smiling"Come , let's go inside", she motioned to me, "Oh no, I don't

odd to me, all my life, no one really wanted not even Harriet, my supposed mother, I felt a pang of pain as I thought of her,"I hope you like it",Lilah said with a nervous laughter,"I'm sure, I will", I murmured back,She opened the door to reveal a Lilac and white room, everything from the bed spread to the carpet to the wall, everything was either Lilac or White, my favourite colour, I gasped as tears sprang to my eyes, I couldn't believe this was all for room, the room was very huge, probably the size of Harriet's whole house, it was very beautiful and furnished, everything seemed expensive, it looked like all those rooms on the Pinterest boards if the girls back in school."Is there a problem, you don't like it?, What is wrong?, I can get it changed, get something better",Lilah rambled nervously, I touched her arm to call my attention as she didn't even let me put in a word,"No, no, I love it, it is beautiful, it is the most stunning thing I've ever seen, really" I told her as her face brightened up again,"Okay then, she walked to another door, this is uhm, your walk in closet, it's fill

o do that", Lilah closed the door behind her as I muttered a thank you again, my gaze going round the room, I could believe it at all, that doubt was still there,

"so what do you think about my favourite pasta and honey dipped meat balls sauce, I had a feeling you were going to love it, that is going by the look on your face",Lilah said with a knowing smile as I gave a small grin towards them,"yeah, uhm, it's good, thanks ma'am ", I nodded towards Rosetta," ma'am?, Argh, you makee feel old, am I that old, please none of that ma'am thing, call me Rosetta, okay?",Rosetta told me with her loud voice and sparkling eyes filled with warmth, she had a boisterous personality,her loud voice filled the room and she knew how to put everyone at ease, I continued eating whilst Rosetta and Lilah talked, sending some questions my way which I muttered an answer to , but most of the times, I always ensured there was food in my mouth to prevent bring added to their conversation. The whole atmosphere changed as I heard the door bang and loud voices filled the air, coming towards the kitchen. I stiffened as a deep masculine voice rang through the room."Mum!, We are home ",Lil turned to meet the owner of that voice ,a large smile on her face," I think the slamming of the door gave that away already, d

o take pills, my pinky finger was already jerking and I was breaking into a sweat."Wait, where are you going?",Blake asked me as he dropped both his and Asher's plate in the dishwasher,"Uhm, upstairs",Come on, hang out with us in the rec room",Asher shot Blake a look which Blake ignored and continued talking,"Don't hole yourself up there, let's get to know each other, plus also you'd be starting at our school tomorrow, we could show you the ropes,"Blake grinned again, why was he always smiling,"Uhm maybe later, I need to use the bathroom", I squeaked out, Asher's eyes went to my shaking hand and his eyebrow rose in question , I turned abruptly and fled upstairs from his searching eyes, he was too attentive for his own good, I hope he hadn't noticed it, I opened my duffel bag and brought out one container of Xanax, Before I left the orphanage, I swiped three full containers, hoping it would last me till I find where I can get something better, I popped two pills and swallowed it , two pills were barely working for me but I needed to be alert and not cast any kind of suspicion, I enter the bathroom and washed my hands and my face, snapping the band on my wrist,trying to calm my racing heart at the thought of being in a room with two males, I changed in my head that I was safe, that this wasn't Peter and nothing could happen to me, these were decent people, taking deep breaths I opened the door to the rec room, they were playing a game , I entered and close the door behind me, still standing at the door, Asher spoke up"You kno
