I got dressed and ready, but I didn't really want to go grocery shopping with that Foster guy. I didn't trust him.
He came over later, and knocked on the door.
"Ready to go?" he asked. I sighed, and looked to my grandmother. Why'd she have to commit me to this? She just smiled and handed me some grocery money and a list of things she needed. We walked out of the house, and down the sidewalk. "So, are 당신 visiting?" he asked.
"I hope not," I said. He smiled, but furrowed his eyebrows.
"How come? What about your parents?" I shook my head.
"They don't like me. So I left. Hopefully she'll let me stay."
"I'm sure they 사랑 you. You're their daughter. What could 당신 have done that would've made them feel otherwise?"
"I'm me... and I punched a kid in the face." His smile faded a little bit, and he seemed to make the 우주 between us a little bigger.
"Oh. Well... I'm sure they still 사랑 you."
"Can we please not talk about this?" I snapped. His smile disappeared completely.
"Sorry." The walk to the grocery store was silent the rest of the way. "Ok, well, 당신 get these things, and I'll get these," Foster said, glancing at the list. He tried to memorize the few items he had to get, then handed me the list.
It took me forever to find the items; I'd never been grocery shopping before. I felt kind of stupid, because it was a tiny store. Foster had to help me find the other things, and then we were done. We were going back home, carrying all the groceries, when a guy stopped in front of us on a bike.
"Hey Foster!" he looked at me, and his smile flipped upside down. "Uh... Who's this...?"
"Hey Lowell. This is Mrs. Hayner's granddaughter, Cosette. I was helping her get Mrs. Hayner's groceries."
"Ok then..." Lowell said. "You wanna go hang out at the 홍어, 스케이트 park?"
"Sure, we'll meet 당신 there," Foster said.
"Uh... not her," Lowell said, glancing at me then looking back at Foster. My face blushed, and I turned my face to the ground.
"Um... Ok... Sorry, Cosette, may--" Foster began to say, but I shook my head.
"It's fine," I sighed. I took the groceries from his hands, and began walking home. It was a little difficult carrying all of them, but I eventually made it home. I only dropped some things a couple times.
"Where's Foster?" Grandmother asked as I shuffled inside.
"Gone," I said, trying to get everything to the 표, 테이블 without any 더 많이 spills.
"What do 당신 mean?" she asked. When I didn't respond, she sighed. "I thought for sure you'd like him. I just wanted 당신 to have a friend--"
"I don't have friends," I snapped. "I've never had friends. Why would I have 프렌즈 all of a sudden?" I started putting the groceries away, and tried not to look at my grandmother. I heard her inhale, like she was about to say something, then closed her mouth and walked away. I put the groceries away 의해 myself.
She came back a couple 분 later, holding a mirror. She placed it into my hands.
"Look in it," she ordered. I picked it up, and saw my reflection. I grimaced and put it back down.
"Why?" I grumbled. She rolled her eyes and held it up again.
"Do as your grandmother says," she told me. I sighed and looked into the mirror. I bit my lip as I saw myself. I was starting to think I knew why my parents didn't like me. All their children were beautiful. Except me. They all had silky, beautiful blond hair. Except me. All their children were refined, and polite. Except me. I was coming up with millions of reasons per second. "What do 당신 see?" Grandmother asked finally.
"Me," I sighed. "Why?"
"Explain to me what 당신 see," she urged. I raised an eyebrow.
"I... I don't know." She sighed and shook her head impatiently.
"Well, I see a beautiful young woman. Who's strong, but in pain. She's misunderstood, and she misunderstands herself even." She put the mirror down and looked at me. "You have no idea how special 당신 are, Cosette. And I wish your father could see that." She hugged me, and I felt like I was going to burst into tears at any moment. "You can stay," she whispered. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying not to cry.
I sat at the 부엌, 주방 표, 테이블 with her, and watched TV. When a commercial came, I took a deep breath.
"Why don't 당신 talk to my father anymore? I mean, I'd never even heard of 당신 until I wanted to run away," I said. She pursed her lips, and sighed.
"Cosette, I loved your father very much. But, as 당신 know, he's... controlling. He wants everything to be the way he wants it; no exceptions." I nodded. I knew that very well. "After my husband died... He wanted everything his way. He assumed the position of the man of the house, I guess. He started telling me what to do, and bullying his siblings around... It was frightening at times. Then, one day, I stood up to him. I was done taking orders from my son. And he got so angry and left. I never heard from him again."
"Oh," was all I could say. "That sounds like him alright." I recalled one time, Mother and Father were arguing about whether Tzipora should take piano, 또는 ballet class. He wanted piano, Mother wanted ballet. He got so upset, he started screaming at her. I remembered hiding in Anastasia's room, and her holding Asteria and me close. We were all so frightened. Tzipora tried to stop them, but he was dead-set on her taking piano. It was all extremely ridiculous.
After about an hour, he just left. He didn't come back till after midnight, and it was obvious he had been drinking.
I shook my head, returning to the present. Grandmother looked at me with a sad expression. Tears stung in my eyes. I've been very emotional lately. It was getting really annoying.
"I think we should call your family," she said.
"They won't care," I said. She sighed. "Please, don't," I asked. "I don't want them to take me back." She sighed again and looked at me for a while.
"We'll see. For now, we won't. But we'll have to sooner 또는 later." She stood up and headed to the kitchen. "I'm going to make---" she looked at the burned stove. "...Wanna order pizza?" she asked. I laughed.

I stayed with my Grandmother for a week. It was awesome. She was fun to talk to, and a great listener. Best of all, she loved me for me. She made 코멘트 on my style, but none were judging. No one had ever been so nice to me.
Then one evening, she practically dropped a bomb on everything.
"Time for bed, Dear," she said, clicking off the TV.
"...It's only nine o'clock..." I said, trying not to complain. Maybe she was just tired...
"I'm aware. 당신 need to be up early tomorrow."
"How come? What are we doing?"
"You are going to school," she said, smiling. My jaw dropped, and my hands got sweaty. My 심장 raced, and I started to panic.
"What?!" I asked. This was going to ruin everything. This place had been perfect. And now my own personal hell would return. High school.
"You need to go to school, Cosette. 당신 may be a runaway, but 당신 still need an education," she winked at me. I groaned a little bit, but there it seemed there was nothing I could do to change her mind.
"Fine..." I grumbled, and went to the couch, climbing into my covers once again.
"Goodnight," she smiled, and flicked off the lights. I laid there in the darkness, completely awake and alert with fear. This was going to be terrible.
He came over later, and knocked on the door.

I had saved Bruno's life. He knew it was too dangerous to be on a mounain, he teleported to the Apache Junction. Unknowing where we were, we camped out. We heard someone walking outside and when we walked out, it was Apache Indians. They started talking, they were speaking Indian so we couldn't tell what they were saying. Bruno threw red circles at their necks, and when they landed, they started speaking english. One of them said " Why are 당신 here? This is the Junction! Get Out!" Me and Bruno looked at each other. We ran as fast as we could, but, I wasn't fast enough. They grabbed me 의해 the hair and pulled me away. Luckily, Bruno put his hand in the bon-fire and threw the 불, 화재 at the indians. The ran away with so much fear, they fell off a cliff. Bruno grabbed my hand until the reached a forest, there was a small waterfall 의해 the forest.
Everyone has a red glass window.It's called your heart.People's windows differ from others,some windows are shaded out and don't let any light come in and than there are some windows that are open to whatever goes pass their them.
Is your window open 또는 closed out?
Would 당신 let the air in if 당신 had the chance?
My window has been open for quite some time and the same gush of wind keeps coming in and I've grown to 사랑 and need that one breath that air gives me.But that gush of wind I've grown to 사랑 sometimes easily breaks my window with it's power.But yet can easily fix my window up again with it's strength.It is a constant fight between letting that gush of wind in because I'm afraid of the wind breaking my window once more.But that same gush of wind I'm so scared of but yet 사랑 so much,loves me as well but that wind can spread far.Far enough to other people's windows as well.
Always an constant fight between the wind and the window!

랜덤 Song 또는 Poem 또는 Something
So um enjoy. Idk wot this is but whatev :)
I'll Break this Spell
I’ve lived my life in shadows
Walking at your pace
I couldn’t see that 당신 were so shallow
I was too mesmerized 의해 your face
Now I can see
All that you’ve done to me
I’ll break this spell
That you’ve put on me
Ever so easily
I won’t treat 당신 well
After all it’s me
That you’ve messed up completely
I’ll make 당신 pay hell
If that’s what will set me free
If it’ll set me free
So um enjoy. Idk wot this is but whatev :)
I'll Break this Spell
I’ve lived my life in shadows
Walking at your pace
I couldn’t see that 당신 were so shallow
I was too mesmerized 의해 your face
Now I can see
All that you’ve done to me
I’ll break this spell
That you’ve put on me
Ever so easily
I won’t treat 당신 well
After all it’s me
That you’ve messed up completely
I’ll make 당신 pay hell
If that’s what will set me free
If it’ll set me free
I feel like I have always known you
We’ve always been so close but
당신 look away
당신 tell me that 당신 사랑 me
But your eyes say something else
It shouldn’t be so difficult for me
To turn away
Chorus:
Every time we talk at night
Every time 당신 make me feel alright
When 당신 say goodbye
당신 say you’ll think of me all the time
I know it’s a lie
And I’m slowly breaking
I’m slowly breaking
Somehow 당신 just cannot see
The way I smile when 당신 look at me
Are 당신 completely blind?
Cuz’ I’ve given 당신 all the signs
That I 사랑 당신
Chorus:
And now I’m falling apart
You’ve gone from my life
I can’t take it anymore
My new best friend is a knife
What 당신 were to me
Made me complete
