“What are we gonna do?”

“Who’s gonna take care of her?”

I looked around with dull eyes, but everyone avoided my gaze. It made sense. Who would want to take care of me? No one knew who my dad was and my mom never told anyone. And now she’s dead and I’m left alone. I have no one in this world.

“I ask again. Are you Railey?”

I didn’t say anything but I nodded.

“Come with me.” He said as he held out his hand. “You won’t be alone if you come with me.”
