agree to stay with me until your birthday. I offered to take care of you and after a lengthy conference they agreed to it.” Matt states.
    My eyes go wide for a moment. “How is that even allowed? You’re not even married.”
    He snorts. “I am in a steady relationship though and they have accepted that fact. It also helps that I am gay.”
    “They must be desperate to find me a place to stay if they’re willing to look past all of their strict rules.” I sigh as I place my head against the window.
    Matt nods from the corner of my eye. “They kind of are but I pushed for it to happen so that I knew you’d be taken care of. It hasn’t been easy for me, watching these families fail you over and over again.”
    “You have no idea what it means to me that you’re willing to open up your house for me, Matt. I just hope you’re ready to be woken up at all hours of the night when I wake up screaming thanks to my nightmares.” I reply gently.
    Matt grins as he starts the engine of the jeep. “It’s a good thing I’m a night owl then.”
    I snort and shake my head as he drives off, down the road.
     

     
    Pulling into a familiar town I look towards Matt with surprise. “Do you actually live here?”
    He nods. “I do. I figured it would be easier for you to be back in your home town again. You really seemed to do well here while you were living with the Moores.”
    “There are a lot of bad memories here now though.” I sigh softly as I watch the familiar storefronts and houses pass by as we drive through the town.
    “Yes, I’ve read your file but that doesn’t mean that running away will erase those memories. All you can do is push forward, remember the good memories you had and make new ones to drown out the bad ones.” Matt replies.
    I nod my head in agreement, he had a good point.
    When Matt continues to drive in the direction of where I had lived I become nervous.
    And when he pulls into the small gated community that I had previously lived in I turn to him with a questioning look.
    He sighs. “Yes, this is where I live. I know it will make things a bit awkward but this is the best we can work with.”
    “Seeing them again is going to be hard.” I whisper.
    “Let me warn you now that the Moores have a new foster child about your age.” Matt grunts.
    “It figures that they would get over me that fast.” I sigh and then place my forehead against the window as we drive past their house.
    It hurts far worse to actually see it as Sally exits her front door with a girl that looked very similar to me.
    It was like they had replaced me with a better unbroken kid.
    Looking away quickly my eyes travel over to Cole’s house.
    It was a mistake because Liam was walking towards the road.
    As we pass I watch out the back as he walks across the street to embrace the girl I had just seen walk out of the Moores house.
    Life had moved on here without me and it absolutely hurt.
    Turning back around I focus on Matt as he pulls into a driveway only two houses down from theirs.
    He turns the engine off before climbing out.
    I remain in my seat, my body frozen in place.
    If I got out now they would all see me, and I didn’t know if I could handle them seeing me like this.
    Stopping by my door with my boxes in his hands Matt gives me a look before nodding to himself.
    He then walks away into his house.
    After a few short minutes a new guy that looked to be around the same age as Matt but with short cut black hair, military pants, and a black shirt bounces out of the house and moves over to my door before opening it.
    He holds out his hand as he smiles brightly. “Hey, my name is Eric.”
    I smile and take his hand in mine to give it a good shake. “I’m Evette, but you can call me Eve.”
    His smile only gets bigger before he gives me a questioning look. “Why aren’t you getting out of the jeep?”
    Glancing past him I sigh and then close my eyes. “I don’t want them to see me.”
    He glances back before turning
