I look around this room while I sit in a corner, I'm hugging my legs tight. I see other children playing with instruments. I like music, but i like being alone while doing it. No one here understands this, wich makes me coming out of my shell pretty hard to do. I sigh and starre at the floor. Then I look around me again.

I absolutely hate this orphanage, it sucks. No one understands me, well maybe because I don't really talk with anyone. But when I do they tell me that me feeling shit is just a phase of some sorts.
Suddenly someone starts playing the drums, I exhale deep. I cover my ears, oh no, here come the flashbacks. I start screaming, my eyes are shut. Someone hugs me. -STOP PLAYING THE DRUMS- I hear someone shout.
(Angel's POV) I hold Ruby tight, hoping that she will stop screaming soon. Masha makes sure everyone leaves the room to give ruby her space. It's her trauma, her parents got killed in a school shooting, wich is why she is scared of loud noises, banging noises mostly. They sound like gunshots to her. She cries out loud after she stops screaming. -oh baby, I got you- I whisper. I lift her up, I carry her back to her room. I push the blanket away and I lay her in bed. She is still shaking, I put her in her blanket. I take a seat on her bed. -it's okay sweetie- I say. It took her 30 minutes to stop crying. She whines, I whipe her tears away using my thumps. -masha can you bring me a glass of water?- I ask Masha while looking at her. -yes, ofcourse- she says and leaves. I grab and hold her right hand. She looks at me, breathing fast still. -are you okay now hm?- I ask. She nods slowley. I smile at her. -I got news that might make you feel a little bit happier- I say, her eyes are closing a little. -later hm? You look tired- I say. She mumbles. Masha comes back with a Glass of water, she drinks from the glass alot. -take a nap, you can eat dinner in your room later okay?- I tell her. She nods. I let her hand go and I get up from her bed. She hides herself under her blanket. -sweet dreams- I say, me and Masha both leave her room, closing the door behind us.
