Chapter 1

" Home is a place far away where kids of all ages can be safe and happy. It's a big house with a playground in the backyard and it's perfect and safe." " Where is home." Mia asked me. " I don't know but maybe we'll make it there someday." " Goodnight Mia Goodnight Evie." Cameron told them leaving the room. As Cameron was walking down the hall to her room she caught the slight scent of alcohol.

" CAMERON ELIZABETH" Ms.Evans yelled. Cameron flinched at the sound of her full name but went to her as not to anger her more. " Did you put all the kids to sleep" she asked her drunkenly. " Yes" answered back respectfully. " Good." Cameron was now on the floor with a big red hand mark on her cheek. " WHY DIDN'T YOU CLEAN THE ROOMS" Ms. Evans yelled angrily. "You didn't ask me to" she said trying to get up only to be kicked onto the floor again. " THAT'S NO EXCUSE" she yelled throwing a beer bottle across the room. Cameron ran to her room in tears with Ms. Evans trailing behind her. She slammed the door locking it sliding down against the door in tears only wanting to take her sisters and go home.
