• A tear rolled down my face as i stared at the grave stone in front of me. "Shannon Renal Long" read on the top of it. I remember watching the plain with her ,my mom, in it crash with pieces and fire booming from it i remember her face when she saw me out the window and i remember her calm voice on the phone when she called to tell the plain was about to crash.
    I looked at the tombstone next to it. that one read "Shane Christopher Long". that one is my dad. he was murdered by this gang who is after my friend, destiny. next to my dads tombstone was both my sisters.
    A hand was set on my shoulder. it was the man i put to live with. the government put me with them because "my family didn't want me anymore".
    "You ready to come home now?" he asked.
    I let one more tear role down my cheek before i answered "yea".
    My "brother" gave me a hand up.
    My eyes blurred with tears. "Where is Destiny" i asked.
    "Right here" he said with a smooth voice. i ran to him and gave him a hug. my legs gave out so he held me there in his arms. He is the only person in this world that can comfort me.
    I herd my father ask Jason, my brother, "why does she hug that piece of s*** before she hugs us?" and then my brother answers " she has known him her whole life and he is the one who protects her from the gang and he is the only one who has had it like her, you know his father died his mother died his other recent parents died both his sisters died and his real sister was kidnapped by the gang"
    "i thought he murdered his real father" my dad asked. Jason just rolled his eyes.
    I tried to use my legs again and it worked. i separated my head away from his cold hard muscular chest. My dark eye makeup stained his white shirt.
    "Oops" i said looking at his face. he is major pail, almost ghost pail.he wears all white all the time and his hair is white too, but not the every day white, its WHITE. He has the sparkly-est blue eyes. he looks blind almost. his teeth are as white as hair even though he drinks and smokes.
    "oh" he says "its alright, i can just take it off" he took of his shirt and handed it to me. he has big, i mean big, muscles.
    He looked at me "don't worry now we both are the only people in our family still living" he grinned, then he stroke my hair.
