I looked at them both then swallowed again.i took a bite of my cheesecake then  grabbed the pen to begin writting.they were trying to help me - I didn't see why I had to lie. I want to be truthful.

Mother would  sometimes lock me up in places  , tie me up on a stool , or some times leave me kneeling on rice , over night. I think she'd  forget about me .it was my dad who would come home from work and tell me to clean up and go to bed. I was thankful he atleast let me go , other times he had no choice but to see me there as my mother punished me.

I slided it to them and they read it. I watched as their emotions flickered.

"Hun ...tell me what else she did....if you may ?.. what else has she done to you ?" chess said while Dr.Sean reread the whole page again.I sighed and reached my hand to dr.sean telling him to hand me the paper. He ripped that peice off and handed me the clipboard with a new blank peice of paper. I took it and began a list almost.

When i was done and passed it to them they were even more furious. Did i do something wrong?!My lip quivered as i saw them and i accidentally slipped out a word with out thinking ... I couldn't disappoint them..

"Wrong?" I pleaded . Did i do something wrong?!Dr.sean quickly snapped his head up to me and shook his head. He grasped my hand and held it firmly.  His green orbs absorbing me into him.

" pookie , you have not done anything wrong. If we looked mad or disturbed its not ever going to be about you. These things ..oh my , they're cruel!" Dr.Sean said and I nodded my head still a little unsure. Why were they mad though? It still didn't register in my head why they were upset it was cruel? Was it really?

"Why?" I whispered out and he frowned.

"Dont strain yourself remember, and as for why ....its because what your mother is doing to you is not right pookie! This is torture! I cant imagine how you were able to go through all this. Im very glad ian found you. You're a very strong person sang , I'm proud of you .From what i can tell from you so far is that your a good person and a great daughter, i dont know what was running through that woman's head for her to hurt you to such extent . " Dr.Sean said and shook my hands . I nodded and took my hands out of his. I timidly grabbed my fork and began to eat again. I had to fight the urge not to cry ... it was a shock what he said to me .. I hardly ...rarely hear words like that spoken towards me.

Out the corner of my eye i see chess and dr.sean looking at each other. Communicating almost. Chess pulls out his phone right when i finish my cheesecake.

"Its time hun , they want us back. Have you finished everything?" He asked and i eyed my untouched jello. Dr.Sean laughed and picked it up with a metal spoon and handed it to me.

"You can take it with you pookie , ill bring it back to the cafeteria when your done with it." He said and i smiled at him . I always wanted to taste jello. It looked fun to eat too.

~~~~~

We made it back to the room and it was quiet as we walked in. I looked into the room and saw ian and Dr.Roberts intently staring at one another. I sat down on my chair I had occupied previously and remebered i didnt bring any snacks back for ian or dr.roberts . I looked at ian and handed him my jello.

He looked at it and chuckled.

"Im good pumpkin , how about you eat it. It looks really good , what flavor is it?" He asked and i smiled. I could eat it!

"Strawberry" i whispered out and he nodded. He tucked a peice of my hair and i began eating the jello. I felt it easily break apart with my tongue and teeth. It was very cool . Tasty too.

" okay miss.sang , ive talked over with ian . You have been offically emancipated as of now , well when our side of the paper work gets done .. I'm sorry we had to look into you a bit to get this to go a bit quicker hun. so that means you are your own person and can start working any time , buy/ rent things , cards , everything you want with out approval and care of a legal guardian , working only once you heal of course . As for where your going to stay i suggest staying in the birds-women's  dorms at the academy , we have a few buildings located all around , I'm sure there's availability ." He said and ian groaned.

"Shes staying with me sir." He said and I nodded. He looked between us then nodded slowly. Unsure. I-I don't know if I'd be okay with being with a ton of new strangers ... I'm overwhelmed now ... I'm barely even getting to know the guys...but they feel safe and comforting .

" well if miss.sang says its alright with her then she may stay in your apartment mr.knight.how about mr.wren ? Is he not staying at the apartment?" Dr.robertson asked and ian went tense.

" hes gone off radar" was all he said and that sparked Dr.Roberts to go gravely serious.

"Later. Now Ms.Sang , may i ask for your surname from you officially? Ian managed to fill me in with your parents Information . Then we kind of dove into files after that... i hope we didn't cross any lines. We needed the information in order to fully emancipate you " He asked chuckling and i nodded ... I can't believe I didn't give him my surname ...or any identification.... I think mother has it all... my papers and stuff I believe ? My birth certificate?

"Sorenson" i said and he wrote that down.

"Miss.sorenson , id like for you to attend ashley water highs . Not the best school but its a great oppertunity to complete your first mission. A team of mine is already in that school. As for ian he'd be undercover as faculty.  All you have to do in this mission is give intel mrs.sorenson, if anything gets out of hand for you or you feel threaten ill have one of my boys there to help you.now would you accept this mission miss.sorenson? Also before I forget !before you leave we have to have your signature and for you to go over some documents and questions we have concerning them if you know ...and later we'll have a talk about living and if you are accommodating well after" He asked and i nodded. Sounded simple enough.he smiled and nodded. I was a bit concerned they had questions ..... I've never signed and agreed to any sort of legal contract before .. I was emancipated ?

" great ! Now ill have you enter school when you're in top shape.as for now id like for you to rest dear and take it easy" he said and I nodded and thanked him. Well this was simple enough.

Everyone stood up and it queded me to stop eating jello and to stand up too.they were all hand shaking and i tried to too , they chuckled at me and shook my hand. I felt a little out of place with all these towering men , but I kept my feet planted and watched them all.

" okay pookie , ill see you later-" doc said and hugged me.he was leaving ? Well duh .. he probably has work to do , I forgot we were in a hospital for a bit.

"Later? What do you mean later sean?" Ian said and pried me out of docs arms. He pulled me to his side and i giggled.

"Oooo pookie! Those giggles !" He said and i giggled more and hid behind ian.no , no tickles.

"What ian did you not think i wouldnt visit my little pookie? Its your own fault for introducing her to me you know ." The doc said and i giggled some more as ian groaned and hugged me tighter.

"Your right , i should've called Dr.Kelly or someone else. As for visits ill make sure Tony wont let you up to my floor!" Ian said and carried me out the door . I could hear docs whining as he trailed us.

"I'll sneak a way in , i'll pull a luke! Anything to see my beloved pookie!" Dr.sean said and i laughed lightly . He was a funny man I kind of didn't understand . He was so cheerful .

Before I even noticed  i was already being put down on the back seat of the car and being buckled in. Everything was sorted out and talked through for the day and it was time to return back .today was a nice day.
