"Annabelle Boosey Case 411!"
I walked in hearing my heels click against the floor. I grabbed
onto my second hand me down jacket i got at the thrift store.
I took a seat infront of the judge.
"Stay down and dont say anything let me handle this."
Whispered my lawyer.
I nodded in agreement because i was in no need to argue, I needed
to win this case for me and Kit.
"So Annabelle, your here for Kit, your little sister
correct."
I nodded bitting my lower lip.
"Well if im understanding you want full custidy of her? And
your only 19 with no high school diploma, and temporaily staying
with your friend? And working part time at Main St, and also at a
Cafe shop?'' Hitting her pencil against the desk.
This was the first time ever being in a court room, and when she
put my life like that, i sounded like a low life going no where.
Someone who wasnt fit to take care of her little baby sister.
"Yes your honor." I spoke looking down.
"Well as much as I want you to take her with you today, your
life isnt fit to handle a 5 year old, im sorry she'll be in a
foster home for now..case closed!" She slammed her hammer
against the desk.
I felt like someone slapped me in the face. My baby sister in the
hands of a stranger? I cant let this happen.
I walk out of the court room.
"Im sorry Annabelle, just work hard enough and maybe you
know one day you'll get her."
I nodded sitting on the bench to say goodbye to Kit.
"Anne--ee!" I heard Kit running towards
me.
She hugged me tightly.
"Hi baby girl" I could feel tears falling
down. Social Security was standing infront of me now. I knew
it was time to let her go.
Ofcourse she didnt understand what was happening all she knew was
our parents were in a better place.
"I gotta go now, i love you sooo much." I opened my
arms.
"How much?" She giggled. She loved playing this little
playful games like this.
Im going to miss her laugh, she can easily get you out of a
bad mood.
The girl from Social Services grabbed Kit's hands, i couldnt
look at Kit as i heard her screaming my name.
I will get her back if it takes everything i
got.

Chapter 11
After
we got done with dinner, Rennie drove me home.
"Thanks for driving me home."
"Y-your w-welcome. Ill text ya later?"
"Oh yes." As i was leaning out the car, he grabbed my
face and pecked my cheek.
I could feel my face get bright red, felt hot like sun hitting
it.
I hurried up and stepped out of the car and headed to the
door.
I closed the door, leaning against it.
"What are you doing?" I jumped at the sound of a males
voice.
''Oh jeeze! just the person i was looking for."
It was Conner.
"Okay well I went out with this guy Renn.." Even before
i could finish Conner interupted me.
"Wait before you say anything i----uhh got to go, i have
this thing i have to do for your grandma. Talk to you
later." He runs out and disppears out of sight.
"O-kay."
What was that? I didnt know what just happened but I thought i
would just talk to him next time i seen him.
I walked into my room, grabbed some pajamas and took a
shower.
bz bz bz
Thinking that it was Rennie who was going to text me it was an
unknown number.
hey baby its Luke. I know you must think im a horrible person
and having Cara text you but i thought you were better off
without me...i love you stil..always will..
I dropped my phone and walked out of the room down to the
beach.
Seriously, Luke now?
He lost his chance, he ended things and hurt me. I did still love
him though. That was the bad thing. Should i text him or leave
him be and make him felt what i did was the real
question.
I turned to the only friend i had Rennie. He said that he
had work later in the night and i know that we just got done
seeing each other but i needed adivce.
I walked into the restaraunt eyes open for Rennie.
I spotted him quickly with the blonde hair tan skin, extremely
tall lean body.
I stood still watching him touch a blonde short petite
little girls side then move further down. They oviously
enjoyed each others company by the laughs i heard.
I felt a ping of jealously come over me.
I moved slowly back hoping that he wouldnt notice
me.
"Hey! looking for Rennie."
Ofocurse at a time like this i run into Lisa.
"No no no no no im fine i gotta go."
I book it out out of there and trip over a chair someone
moved infront of me. I didnt bother looking back i was
nervous if he seen me because i was already embarraed for being
there. I know that me and Rennie's relationship isn't
serious but there was defintley something there and seeing him
rub his hands all over another girls body is something that i did
not want to witness.
I was tired of runnig i could see my house in the distance when i
felt a pull on my wrist.
"Why did you run away?" Sounding out of breath, it was
Rennie.
I yanked my hand back in tears from the drama that keeps
happening.
"Look i dont want to be the girl that..'' was
at lost of words. "that holds you back from flirting with
other girls. I dont know if i just took the kiss onn the cheek as
something different but i came here to talk to you about
something but clearly your to busy." I turn around to walk
away, i didnt want to continue this conversation i dont want to
deal with anything at that point.
"Its not like that alright. Yeah i flirrt but.."
I help up my hand "Save it."
I turned back around and ran away this time as far as i could
even past my
house.
The funeral was in the next five days
and i could barley talk to anyone. I spoke maybe a sentence these
last days. I couldnt help but think god was punishing me for
acting the way i did. This opened my eyes. My grandpa said
'hed be watching me from heaven,' and i was going to make
him proud.
"Hi darling" I was sitting down around the casket when
my dad came and sat next to me. I nodded my head.
"Hes with your mom now, in a better place."
Yeah he was with my mom, but she could have easily been here.
"Dont be telling me that shes with grandpa, she didnt have a
choice of dieing you killed her yourself." I couldnt belive
the words that came out of my mouth, i walked away before i could
see any of his face expressions or hear his response. I went to
the bathroom, into a stall.
"I cant handle this anymore."i whispered and then dug
around in my purse not being able to see through the tears, i
felt around for my pocket knife. I took it out opened it and
stuck it right up to my throat.
I was a hypocrite, i looked down to those who tried killing
themselves, but i finally knew how they felt, weak, miserable,
vulnerable. I kept losing people in my life.
When i was about to pull back i hear footsteps and my stall slams
open.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING!" It was Conner, what was
he doing in here? I looked right up into those blue eyes, dropped
the knife "im sorry." i busted into more tears, he
kneeled down and cradled me.
"I seen you run into the mens bathroom and was confused on
what you were doing." I didnt even realize what bathroom i
was in i just wanted to kill myself and get it done with.
"Taking your life isnt something you should do like a time
as this, your grandma needs you. I need you.."
I stopped sobbing and completely watering Conners shirt. I wipeed
my nose with my shirt, "You need me?"
"Yeah i do." He looked away when he said this. "My
moms, shes a drug addict and my dad left her when he found out
when she was pregnant. Seeing you lose your mom and now your
grandpa and not having a good relationship with your dad i kinda
look up to you, i dont really have anyone and neither do
you but you seem so strong by yourself..."
I couldnt belive what i heard. Im actually helping someone in
there life?
"Im glad you told me that, and thanks for stopping me."
I wrapped my arms around him and held him for the longest
time.
"We should get going, people are gonna wonder where we
are." He un wrapped his arms off me and helped me up. I
walked out of the bathroom with him behind me not letting go of
his hand. I spotted my grandma, in a chair infront of the casket,
head down. I looked at Conner and let go of his hand and sat next
to my grandma.
"Hey grandma." I put my hand on her leg, hopeing to
ease the tension.
She looked at me with blood shot eyes, "I already miss him.
I miss his laugh i miss his smile, he was the only man never to
let me down. I didnt realize how much i really did love
him." She paused before she continued then looked down
again, "I cant stand being away from him, he was the love of
my life." I could barley hear the last words she spoke. I
pulled her face up to look at me.
"Look i love you more than i could tell you, you have me and
WE will get through this." Her eyes filled with tears.
"Yes, yes i have you." She reached her arms around my
back.
We will get through this, because now...i have two guradian
angels watching over me.
