Torn

The first thought I had when I saw him was 'Hes clean, like not even a speck of dirt on him clean'

Which almost makes me laugh. I turn to the doctor "yeah, its him" a cleaner him but him. I smile a little but quickly look down and pretend to wipe a tear away.

"How did he die?" I ask in a small voice. I look up now and look at the cops and the doctor for a answer. "It was a car crash. A hit and run." Karmas a bitch

I nod a little "Are they looking for the person that did this?" I might as well go for home run right? Be a upset step daughter

They all nod very quickly. One of the cops put her arm at the small of my back and led me to a office.
"A social worker will come and talk to you about what happens next, ok? Would you like anything?"

"Can I get hot coco?" I never had one but It always sounded nice. The cop nodded and walked away. They came back with a cup with brown liquid in it which Im going assume is hot cocoa.

I said a quick thank you and they were gone. When the warn liquid touch my tongue. I only had one thought. 'Holy fuck! Why haven't I try this before?!' I have no idea how long I was sitting there. The cop has came by a couple of times. By the time the social worker came in I had 6 cups of coco

The social worker introduced her self "Hello, Frankie. You can call me miss, Deluxe." She had this high pitch voice that makes you want to cringe. I say a soft hello back. "Ok, so I looked in to your file and found out you have other family!" I snap my eyes to hers. I have other Familie? (Family)

"Like a aunt or uncle?" I asked
She just shakes her head which makes her blonde hair move back and forth. With a big smile she says " No, Frankie. You have brothers! Isn't that wonderful!" Wait did she say brothers like plural. Like more then one?

"Brothers?" I ask. She claps her hands together "yes! Brothers!" I think I'm going to puke. As soon a I thought that I puked. A think you should know about me is, when I puke it goes everywhere. When I was done puking I looked up at her. She smile was gone and replaced with a shocked/ disgusted face.

If I didn't just puke it would have been funny as Hölle. (Hell). So instead I ground "Es tut mir so leid!" (I am so sorry). "Um I think you said sorry and if so its ok! I'll just be right back" she squeaked

I regret that hot coco now.

When she came back she had a extra pair of clothes. She quickly pushed me in a bathroom. I looked at the clothes. Orange pants and a white tank top. The pants look like what you'd see on people in jail. When I changed I threw my old clothes in the trash and looked at my self. The orange and white makes my hair pop out more the what it normally does and makes my skin paler.

I walked out and miss, Deluxe and a cops was in the hall way. The cop gave me a cup with warm liquid in it. "What is it?" I look from the cut to the cop and miss, Deluxe.

"Its tea dear?" It came out for like a question. They both look confused as I take the cup and take a sip. "Its yummy. Thank you" I lied it tastes like dirt.

The cop nodded and walked away. Me and miss, Deluxe made out way to a different office. As we both sat down I put the dirt tea away from me.

"As I was saying I found your brothers. I talked to they and are willing to take you in" how long have I been here? If she has already talked to them.

I nod "Unfortunately they cant come and pick you up. You'll need to take a plane to go to them" a plane?! How far do they live?

"Were do they live?" My voice came out a little rushed

"They live in new York! I hear its beautiful in the summer time!" She gushes out with a big smile.

In New York!? I live in freaking Phoenix! Also what dose she mean they cant come and get me?
They can't make time to get me?

"Ok when's the flight?"
When I asked this she seen really happy. "The flight is in two hours, but before we so to the airport. You need to get you things together."

And with that she had a cop drive me to the house. When we got to the house I turned to the cop. " do you mind if you stay in the car? I'll be back in 15 minutes"

"I mean sure. but I'm timing you and if your not back in 15 minutes. I'm coming in." I nod and got out of the car.
