"What happened to you?" I questioned, giving his forest eyes a hard stare.

"What happened to me?! You happened! You took everything!" He said with ferocity, his ember eyes blazing with rage, fists balled.

Realization dawned on me. I took his chance.

"You got the good parents, you got the good life. That was supposed to me MINE!" He roared inching closer to me.
"But you got adopted too! Weren't they good parents? If they weren't then you would be back in the system" I theorized while taking small steps back.

He let out a dry, humorless laugh, "You think they give a damn? All those night I SCREAMED, all those days I CRIED? They don't care just like you didn't care when you took everything from me." He stopped approaching me, looking like a lost child, his voice soft at the last sentence.

"Chance, I cared, I care." I sympathized.

"No you don't Choice, because you were exactly that, their choice. To be honest, I never even stood a Chance."
