Anna's POV

I was just packing the last of my tiny wardrobe into my even smaller suitcase when I hear a knock at the door.

"What are you doing? They finally kicking you out?" A familiar voice calls out.
"No actually Donna. I'm being adopted," I smirk.
She stares at me in disbelief.
"No way. What fool would adopt you? You know they are just going to send you back once they realise how useless, worthless and stupid you are."
She walks up to me and slaps me hard in the face and walks out the door.

I fall to the floor in tears, she's right who would adopt me? I'm ugly, stupid and useless. No one really wants me. I probably am going to be someone's punching bag. They probably adopted me purely for the fact they get money from the government and they'll probably spend it on drugs or something.

With tears streaming down my face I grab the little black box from under my bed. In the box contains 3 very sharp pieces of metal. I roll my sleeve up and place the metal into my skin until red liquid is shown on the surface. Her words swarm through my head and tears stream down my face.

I clean myself up and wrap my fresh cuts. I don't know why I did it again I was trying really hard to stop but she triggered something in me, a switch almost. I wash my face and head down to the main room downstairs.

"Anna here's your dinner" one of the carers, Matilda tells me.
"No thanks I'm not hungry" I walk straight past the main room into a tiny room that I only use to practice my music.

I pull my guitar out of its case and strum some familiar chords

A brave man said,
"You put a name to a song,
And it won't change no matter what goes wrong"
I'll try my best to find a face and a name
I'll sing until we are both one in the same.

Didn't have much time to see why I was found
Had to say goodbye
As time ran out
Sail across the world
Just to find a pearl
On the other side
Hope the pearl won't forget this song,
And won't forget the sky

I don't know what I should give,
Or what I'm to sing
All I can do is give you this
Let my heart play
I know your face,
Let this song whisper your name

A song is not much time to show
How beautiful you are
But I will sing a song to your heart

I don't know what I should give,
Or what I'm to sing
All I can do is give you this
Let my heart play
I know your face,
Let this song whisper your name

I don't know what I should give,
Or what I'm to sing
All I can do is give you this
Let my heart play
I know your face,
Let this song whisper your name

oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah yeah, oh-
oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, oh-,

I don't know what I should give,
Or what I'm to sing
All I can do is give you this
Let my heart play
I know your face,
Let this song whisper your name

As I strummed the chords tears silently fell down my face, again. My phone said it was 7:58 which means we would be called to go to bed soon. I get the keyboard, unlike the guitar (which is mine) the keyboard is anyone's and everyone's but I'm the only one who plays it, and I start placing my hand on the keys. I am not very good at playing keyboard and can only play chords in one hand but I play the song that has saved me many times.

Now the night is coming to an end
The sun will rise and we will try again

Stay alive, stay alive for me
You will die, but now your life is free
Take pride in what is sure to die

I will fear the night again
I hope I'm not my only friend

Stay alive, stay alive for me
You will die, but now your life is free
Take pride in what is sure to die

I pack up all my gear and silently get into bed before anyone sees me and lay in bed wondering what the following day will bring.

Will they hate me?

Are they nice?

They are definitely sending me back as soon as I get off the plane and see how horrible I look.

I keep thinking until I drift off to sleep.
