Home

On the way home Carly was dropping topics one after another.

I zoned out and started to think about Becky.

The bus stops in front of my house.

I got off the bus and walked into my house to get into my room. I took a shower. I don't have a home really. It's my foster home where I've lived since the summer.

My foster mom Angelica knocks on my door.

"Come in." I shouted from the bathroom.

Angelica opens the door and sits on my bed.

I had the shower running while Angelica was in the room.

"I heard what happened." Angelica says.

"I don't want to talk about it." I yelled.

"Well you have new foster siblings here that I want you to meet." Angelica says.

Angelica and I walked into the kitchen after I took a shower.

"Where are they?" I asked Angelica.

"Unpacking. I made cookies for everyone." Angelica replied.

Two girls walked into the kitchen.

"Oh no. Not these two!" I exclaimed.

My ex-girlfriends Lee-Lena and Teresa.

"Girls and October, you'll have to share the house. You all live HERE." Angelica stated.

I knew by then I was getting into trouble.

After dinner, I went into my room and read Rose's journal.

Dear journal,

It's the first day of school and I can keep my thoughts in here.

My name is Rose "Pink" Hills. Pink is my nickname since my cheeks are always pink. I'm 16 years old and in 10th grade.

Right now, I'm pregnant with my boyfriend's baby. I'm two months into the pregnancy.

For that reason, I felt that it was wrong to read this, but I'm doing this for Becky.

I skipped a few entries.

Dear journal,

It's my birthday and I am alone with my baby. No one came to my party. People gave me a new nickname that I don't like. I'm now Rose "Crybaby" Hills.

I get why they call me that, but why do it to hurt me?

Rose has been down a lot of roads during her life.

I closed the journal and fell asleep.

That night Becky came into my dream.

Becky and I were kissing.

Our hands were moving around until they met. Our lips part and meet again and again in repeat.

Becky was lying on my chest next to me.

When the sun rises, Becky starts to glow.

"October, I have to go soon." Becky says.

I moaned out of my sleep in dream world.

"I know. When I find a way to get you with me we'll be together. It's only until then Becky. All I can say is I love you." I replied.

Becky pulls our lips to where they can meet. Soon after she disappeared.
