1 My Story

Hi! My name is Pearl and if you ever saw me in person you'll probably wondering what my story is. Why I say this is because when you look at me, I like a girl who is up to something. I almost always were black, if not then something really similar to it black. I always have sunglasses on so you can't see my eyes even inside buildings. I also have black hair which isn't my natural hair color.

So part of my story is I have no mom and no dad. They both died when I was just one. They died in car accident. I was also in the car but I survived and they didn't. My family didn't want me on either side so I went into foster care. I jumped from house to house. Never staying in one place more then year and never leaving one place before four months. I am 17 now and I am a run away....

So I am here to tell you my journey at one home. They are they reason I don't believe in love. They are also the reason I ran. This story will take you on my ups and downs there. It all started when I was 15.

~flashback~

I got woke like every morning and went to the kitchen for breakfast with everyone. We eat and I went back to my room to get change. When I got done I heard a knock; I jumped about 10 Feet in the air because it scared me I didn't expect it. I open the door and I see Bob.

I say smiling, "Hey Bob what's up?" Bob is like a father figure to me. He has all ways been there for everything.

He says all excited, "I have some good news for you."

"What is it?" I pretty sure I know what it is so not to happy about it.

"We have a new home for you."

"Oh yay so happy." I say sarcastically.

"Oh come on its not that bad. This is one is actually one of the nice ones, so get packed and come get me when you are ready. Okay?"

"Okay fine"

I leave my door open and get my suitcases and start packing. I really don't want to do this. I mean I love it here at the group home. I know all the staff and all girls and guys. I am friends with all them, so I rather stay here. I know I'm not going to stay there long it never happens. I just rather stay here where I know everyone and everyone knows me.

~1 hour later~

I am finally done packing. The only things I didn't pack so my teddy bear (the teddy bear is the only think I have left of my parents expect a lock it with a picture of all us at my first birthday. The last day I saw them alive.), my pillow, and my blanket. I plan on going to sleep in the car because I have like a 4 hour drive ahead of me so yeah. I go find Bob. He is in the front room watching t.v..

I say, " Bob I'm ready."

"Okay let's get this show on the road shall we."

"I guess"

I only have two suitcases full of clothes. Then a duffle bag with a brush, a hair dryer, toothpaste, toothbrush, 4 pairs of shoes, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, a thing I wash my body, and face wash. That's all I have, so I guess you can say I travel lightly. Bob puts everything in the back I get in the passenger seat. I put my pillow in the back because I realized that I don't need it. I have my teddy bear, my blanket, my phone, and headphones ready to go so I can sleep.

Bob gets in starts the car and we leave the group home. I put my headphones in and play on my music. I put my blanket over me and lean my chair all the way back; and I fell asleep the whole way there.

~3 to 4 hours later~

I wake up to Bob shaking me awake. We are finally are at the house. I honestly can't believe I slept all the way there. I get out and look at the house and I am stunned.
