The nurse gives me a newspaper the next morning reading, Local Man arrested for Child Rape. I immediately look at the nurse and whisper, "thank you". She smiled at me softly, as another lady in 5 inch heels walks in. "Are you Luce Grant?" "Yes" I impatiently, reply seeing what she has to say next. "Tomorrow we will be taking you into the foster system, and you will go with your new family, the Leven's. They are wonderful people! It is just two parents, and one child, but you aren't related to them in any way. They have one son named Jackson, he is about your age, 17 I think." Not a brother, my heart sinks, but I am still so grateful Conan is behind bars for good. I thank the woman as she leaves. Then I smile so much I thought I ripped my cheeks in half. I get to start anew, with a new family, and a new school. Of course I will still write my father, but I have a chance again. I take my phone from the bedside table and look up the town I'm moving to RedWood Valley. I need to look for a job right away, accept I had made over 1,000 dollars over the summer. I find a cafe in the town and quickly type an email to the owner and wait for a response.
