Strike!

One

I walk up the stairway to my mothers apartment. As I walk up, a girl and an older boy walk down the steps, carrying some stacked empty boxes.
I bump into the girl, and she says excuse me.
The boy stares at me, giving me a dirty glare. I realize now I smell of leather and smoke.
I glare at him back, and he smirks, and continues walking. Something about him, makes me wonder. But about what?
I shake off the feeling as I fake a smile and knock on my mothers door. She opens it, wearing a nice cocktail dress and smiling a large smile. A man in a suit comes from behind him and wraps his arms around her waist.
They expect me to believe they are my "parents?!"
I walk in, seeing a lot of couples talking. To me, being completely underdressed, this is embarrassing. I walk in, and my mother shows me the way to my room.
I walk into what looks like a closet, with a twin bed and no heat vents. I stand there, and she asks, "I thought you'd be smaller, so I gave you the toy room from our babysitting times.
She was right. I'm 14, but I'm really tall for my age.
Don't the police tell anyone anything?
I walk in, and place my small suitcase on the bed. I stand in the center, and survey the room.
My mother walks out, and I overhear her talking with the police. As she does that, I decide to unpack and get settled.
I open the closet, and see a small pole for hanging clothes up, along with some hangers. I grab my Metallica sweatshirt first, and hang it up, then my shirts, pants, and their sweatshirts and jackets.
I grab my suitcase off the bed, and place it in the corner of the closet. I close the closet, and see the other apartment building next door.
*****
Some time passes, and suddenly I hear large bass pounding from the living room. I walk out, to see beer bottles, bongs, and smoke everywhere. I see my mum, high off her ass, and making out with my "father." I smirk and see guys, about my age, drinking beer. I stand there shocked. I've never had alcohol in my life, but the smell still radiates off my dad and in my memory.
I walk towards my mum, to see her wearing basically a bra and thong. I stand there, stuttering. Someone hands me a cup of some clear liquid.
Vodka.
I promised myself I'd start a new life and go away from all my bad habits, but the strong smell of smoke and alcohols reminds me too much of my dad.
As I start to walk away, my mum and stepdad, both high off their heads, grab me and start to drag me down the hall and to the locked room across the hall from my room. They unlock it, revealing walls of inappropriate toys used for sex.
I start to yell, begging them to stop as they tried to undress me. My top ends up being torn, and the rips in my jeans now way bigger than before. I start to yell, and, as my mum is kissing me, my stepdad is going down on me. I try to fight back, but it doesn't work. I'm scared out of my wits, while my dad starts to unbuckle his belt.
My mum tries to force her tongue inside my mouth, and when she does, I bite on it as hard as I possibly can. She screams, causing my stepdad to jump and run to her side. I grab my boxers and run quickly out of the room, grabbing the keys and locking the door from the outside. I walk to my room, and get some actual clothes on. As I walk out, I see the police car in the parking lot of our building section.
I stand there, smiling like an idiot. As soon as I smile, the police barge in, yelling, "Freeze!" And "Put your hands up!"
I hide in the corner, while everyone is standing there. Even the underage kids stands there, everyone in shock.
One of the women walk up to me, and grab my arm, smelling me.
"Where's the owner of this establishment?" She asks, and I tell her.
"In the room, I locked them in there, t-they were trying to rape me!" I tell them, while trying to make my voice shake, as if I'm scared out of my wits. With shaking hands, I hand them the correct key. Everyone is staring me, as if I've grown five heads or something. I smirk, as a man comes up to me.
"Mr.... Echo, I am mr. Salowski, and I have a nice family with a boy and a girl who would love to adopt you!!" He says with enthusiasm. I fake a smile, and he laughs. "Pack your bags, son, you're going to Australia!" He smiles broadly and walks outside.
My smile fades as I realize I'm moving across the world...
I walk to my room, and open my small closet door, crawling into it to grab my suitcase. As I start to rip the clothes off the hangers, grabbing my Metallica sweatshirt and leather jacket, I find a small crawlspace in the back corner of the closet.
Curious, I crawl into the back, grabbing the hook of a nearby hanger and pry open the hatch. As I'm doing this, i see a small spark. I ignore it, thinking it's an electrical outlet.
I walk to the living room, seeing the police are kicking everyone out, while arresting the worst excuse for parents. I walk to the policeman who helped me, and wait at the entrance to the door. A different man walks up to me, wearing no uniforms. He pulls me aside.
"Hello, Echo I'm detective Samuel Walker and I'm going to tell you the good news!" He says, pulling me to him, and hugging me. "We are arresting your parents, and a nice family has decided they want to adopt you! They have a nice girl and boy to have fun with!" He smiles once again and of course I fake a smile. A policewoman walks up to us, and smiles. "Detective Walker, we are ready for Echo to go to his new family." She says, and looks at me.
I walk down the stairs and bump into the boy again. He deaths stares me once again, and I roll my eyes and continue walking.
**********
The snow slowly and softly falls, as I step out of the car.
We were at a large house.
I smile as I realize this is where I'm going to be living from now on. I smile and walk to the trunk of the car, grabbing my suitcase. With a smile still on my face, I walk to the police officer.
"Is this where I'm going to be living from now on?" I ask, hope softly visible in my voice.
"Yes, hopefully!" She smiles and walks me up to the front door, ringing the doorbell. I continue to smile, and when I see a women dressed in a light blue dress, with a nice white scarf surrounding her shoulders. I smile at her, and she smiles back.
The police officer explains who I am, as a man walks by in a nice black suit.
She moves aside. "Come on in from the cold! Don't want you to freeze nearly to death!" She smiles a soft smile, and calls for her husband named Carter.
Carter arrives in a suit, and holds his hand out to the police woman. She shakes it nicely and smiles.
"Hello, Mr. Tresholde! My name is Elizabeth Ronger, and this is Echo!" The police officer says, and I realize now I never knew her name.
I smile and Mr. Tresholde holds his hand out.
"Hello Mr. Tresholde! Nice to meet you!" I say, shaking his open hand.
"Are you ready to be apart of the family, Echo?" He asks.
"Yes, Mr. Tresholde!" I smile at him. "Oh, please call me Carter!" Carter smiles and I clear my throat, embarrassed. Carter and the woman are talking to police, I see a little girl and a teenage boy running around, the little girl smiling and laughing. I laugh and they stop, and the boy clears his throats and smiles.
"Hello, I'm Dillon, and this is my sister,   Violet. What's your name?" Dillon asks, and smiles at me.
"I'm Echo, and I'm going to live here for now, I guess." I smile and laugh an awkward laugh, while Dillon and Violet laugh. My smile fades, and they stop laughing. "Well, want to play tag with us?" Dillon asks, but mouths "go slow and easy," at me.
We start to play, and pretty fast it get late.
Me and Dillon decide to share a room, while violet is across from us.
And then, we go to sleep soundly.
