"Who are you little one?" The guy said and i looked at him. I looked at ian and he nodded.

"Her names sang. She cant talk...well not right now. Im going to get her to dr.roberts to get fully emancipated . Then we'll sign her up for the-" he said and the new guy glared at ian.

" dont you dare sign up this poor thing into something shes not aware of ian! Talk to her about it first. As for the emancipation, she has her reasons to and shes okay with it right?"He asked me and i nodded. Id be freed no? I need a job though?

I tapped at ians forehead lightly so he'd look at me. He looked at me with those beautiful hazel eyes.i looked at him and whispered.

"Job?" I asked and he shook his head.

" ill be fine , it was just a one time job i got paid already. " he said and i giggled , i shook my head and pointed to myself .

"Me....work" i coughed out. He ohhhed and blushed a bit.

"Doc wouldn't allow it pumpkin. Your injuried right now so you have to rest up first. " he said and i frowned and nodded. I wouldn't be able to work if i was hobbling around and aching all over,what good would i do. I nodded to myself and continued watching the tv show.

" Dont worry about money pumpkin, ill be here to help you. " he said and poked my nose. I giggled at his gesture but didn't like the fact he would sustain or help me. When was I to leave his care?

"You two kids get to bed, sang can sleep in your room and you here ,its getting pretty late. Ian have you talked to dr.Roberts? Like you know...made an appointment? you know how busy the hospital is. " he said and i snapped my head to him then ian.

"Hospital no" i whispered yelled then started coughing at how rough it was too even say those words. I coughed and coughed until someone handed me water. I grabbed the cup and chugged the water and relaxed as the cool liquid went down my throat.

Ian rubbed my shoulders and shook his head.

"Dont worry sang , i know i said no hospital but we're just going to talk to one of my friends, he can help you. he'll have you emancipated and free of those monsters hands."i shook my head

"Monster" i said and shook my head no. They cared for me ....if not they would of left me .

"Sang...." ian said and the man cut in

" lets get to bed , sang your going to sleep in ians bed , as for you ian , on the couch. Your room better be clean idiot ." He said and ian glared at him. He got up and picked me up. He showed me the restroom on the way to his bed. I remebered it as we passed by and arrived to his bedroom.

When he opened the door his smell hit me full blown. I smiled as he layed me on his bed. I relaxed automatically as his smell engulfied mine. He got down on his knees to tuck me in and then kissed my head and said goodnight. I was never tucked into bed , nor kissed on the head before . Not even my mom or dad....

I tried falling asleep and was surprised i actually did. Everything around me darkened and i saw a scenery slowly buzz into my vision. Blurry at first then it cleared up and felt like i just woke up. But i knew very well i was dreaming.

------------------

I felt my whole body being shaken and i gasped out for air. I fluttered my eyes open and saw ian and the long haired guy. I breathed heavy breathes and filled my lungs back with air.

I mustve had another nightmare. I shook my head and took the water the long haired man handed me. I gulped it down and coughed hard when it accidentally went down the wrong side.

"Sang! What was that about?! You stopped breathing pumpkin! You scared the holy shit out of me hun!" Ian said and the long haired guy smacked him in the head. He glared at him but turned back to look at me.

I reached out and grabbed his hand , i needed to calm my nerves , i was on edge right know . I knew id have another attack if i brought it back to my mind. I looked at his worried filled eyes and my lip quivered. My eyes watered and all tears broke loose when he held my face .

I sobbed and sobbed as he held me and calmed me. I couldnt stop nor even talk to him about it. I couldnt even speak.

Why did my mother do this to me? Why only me? Was i not good enough? Did she not love me ? What made me and marie diffrent from one another ?

I sobbed and sobbed. Ian was there rubbing my head and cooing me. It was okay he said , now it was i guess. I sniffed all my snot in and wiped my eyes.

I was determined. I was going to live for myself! Me . Family was a choice like ian said. I hugged him harder. Was he family now? I was all alone now , if i didnt have my family who did i have out here? Ian ? Yes. No? I don't know?

I looked at ian and whispered.

"Family....is ...choice?" And he smiled wide , he nodded his head like crazy and picked me up. He twirled me and i giggled.

I will choose who i want to be family to me.
Family would never hurt you. My family did so they no longer are family to me....at least I hope I can continue with that.
