Tears poured down my face. The tears won’t stop I thought they would never stop. I laid there at night wishing someone would know. Anyone. Someone. But no one ever knew the truth because I didn’t know where they would send me‚ or what would happen to me. Then my alarm clock blared reminding that I had to go to school. I didn’t even sleep at all.
