Before The Fire

There she is right there in that tiny little corner.Came a strange man, a white colored male with huge round convex eyes.You must be Innocent Jacobs
Yes Sir you got that right. I was a little nervous didn't even know this strange man.He said follow me to the head office now.Everyone was staring at me as I stood up,this is so unusual as they whisper no one calls Innocent.As I was labeled as one of the anti social girls.
As we arrived in the office there where other three males.The principal told me not to be afraid I just have to take a seat.
Look Miss IK Jacobs we have bad news for you.We dont know how to break this to you but we have to tell you.I started to shiver right there asking myself what have I done wrong.
The other man told me that he is Mr Jewels and sorry to tell me that the Jacobs family had an accident this morning on their way to work which they believe that I was their daughter. I cried its felt like its the end of the world.The principal tried comforting me but I kept on crying out loud.
Later that day I went back home on my own.Back to that big cold,lonely home.What was I going to do?
Its was me and the house no siblings no family.
The next thing there was someone in the door.Maybe one of the neibours who heard about the situation because we never had onother family.
As I rushed to open the door,there was a white old lady and a young woman standing there with their baggages.
Asking me who I am in my own home.They just budged me out of their way.The young woman asked me what was I doing in her dead sisters house.
Before I could respond the old lady said I should pack an go.
Anger grew in me just because I am a black child doesnt mean that they can just come here and harass me in my own home.
Listen here I am Innocent Jacobs I am the second daughter of the Jacobs.
Where have you been?
Coming here acting like you had a good relationship with Mrs Jacobs.
Our next door neighbor Mrs Smith came to the rescue.
I was glad she came in time before I lost my temper.
