Foster Care wasn't always so bad for the 16 year old Akira White. It always had it's good and bad days. She lost her dad mysteriously when she was two and never met her mom. Rumor was it, that she got strung out on drugs and ended up killing herself...
"Look at you, looking how you looking." Will said pulling up, I was dumping the trash, just to keep me occupied. "Hey Will." I said softly, "Why you look so sad? Pick your head up Kira." He said gently and I let out a breath staring at the ground.

"Come here." He called, I cleared my throat and put on a fake smile, looking at him. "I just wanna hug you." He said and I walked over to him slowly, he pulled me into a well needed hug, we stayed like this for a while.
"You gon be alright." He assured and I nodded still hugging him, "Who's in the house?" He asked after we pulled away, I wiped a stray tear from under my eye. "Mama, Mr. Jones and Alex.. everyone else supposed to show up a little later." I informed and he nodded as we walked in towards the door.
"Eric stopped by the other day." He announced and I felt my body tense up some, "That's nice." I mumbled letting him go in the house before me, before I could make it inside I heard a horn beep. I stopped in my tracks and turned around seeing a familiar car pull up.
Will looked at me and I gave him a reassuring smile, he nodded walking in the house being sure to leave the door open. I placed my hands behind my back and watched the car try to find a decent place to park. I squinted seeing that it was Chase in the passenger seat, but I couldn't make out who was the driver.
He got out the car with a few bags in his hands, he jogged up to me after shutting the door. "Wassup lil bit." He greeted hugging me, I hugged him back inhaling his Cologne. "You face says it all.. what happened?" He asked pulling away to get a good look at me.
"Don't make me talk about it." I begged looking away, as a lump formed in my throat. "I got you lil bit." He promised pulling me into him. "Bro come on!" He shouted to the guy in the car still, I didn't really pay him any mind, when he got out and followed us to the house.
"Sup." He greeted, "Hey." I acknowledge not looking his way. We walked into the house, Alex and Will facial expressions changed, I was confused so I brushed it off. "Who's he?" Will asked approaching us, "My best friend Chase, Chase this is Will, another one of my father figures." I introduced them, Chase stepped from me and dapped Will up.
"And this-." I paused noticing the driver was Mace, I had to laugh at myself. "Hey Mace." I said feeling stupid he chuckled opening his arms for a hug and I gave him one. "Well y'all know him already." I said looking at Will and Alex stare at him strangely.
"Wassup." He greeted them, they gave him a simple head nod then looked at Chase, who was lost as me. "I'ma give these to your mom." Chase said walking towards the kitchen, I looked Will them he seemed to be having a stare off with Mace. "Um.. alright then." I said laughing nervously, I headed towards the kitchen but bumped into Chase.
