Dear Diary

                                                                                      ~ Ava's POV~

I walked into this big apartment complex holding someone's hand. She said her name was Olivia, and that she was here to take me somewhere else while police officers talk to my momma. Olivia is very pretty with her dark brown curls tied into a ponytail with a silver ribbon, and her baby blue summer dress. She was usually quiet while walking but I liked to silence. I closed my eyes in bliss feeling the coolness of the AC bowing onto my face after being outside in the blistering heat for about an hour. I sat down on a chair besides the front desk with a mean lady behind it, glaring at me sneakily as she talked with Olivia. Then Olivia sat down beside me and told me what was happening.
My momma lost her job and couldn't pay for our house anymore, so we were getting ready too find somewhere else to live. Olivia was hired as a babysitter to take care of me while my momma found a house and another job. I was confused since me and momma weren't packing to go anywhere, but I understood nonetheless. While the front desk lady went to the back room to find a snack for me, I whispered in Olivia's ear, "Why was that scary lady staring at me earlier?" She raised an eyebrow and stayed silent as if she didn't have an answer, then motioned for me to follow her to my bedroom which was at the very end of the hallway. Olivia said she had a "housewarming gift" for me so I patiently waited for her on my bed.
She finally came back with a red and black notebook in her hand. It was simple, but I liked it. "This is for you darling. It's a diary where you can write all your thoughts and ideas throughout the week. I hope you use it well." I smiled at the little notebook and mumbled a quiet "Thank you Miss Olivia." She chuckled and ruffled my hair as she left me to go grab my snack. I laid back in bed and looked at the diary carefully. The back had a really cool looking dragon on it, and red lines that swirl back to the front. I was thinking of something to write, but before I could put my pen to the paper, Miss Olivia came back with some potato chips and apple juice. I thanked her quickly and started eating because I didn't realize how hungry I was until now that I actually have something to eat. Miss Olivia opened her mouth as if she were going to say something, yet stayed silent as she got up from the bed and whispered into my ear, "I was going to order a pizza since I know that you're most likely still hungry, but Renee said it was too late to order food and we'll just have to wait until tomorrow morning. I'm sorry, but I'll make it up to you by cooking whatever you want for breakfast, I promise." I smiled and nodded, then whispered back, "Thank you, but who's Renee?" "Renee is the 'scary desk lady'." Olivia said with a snicker. I giggled back and said goodnight as she closed my bedroom door quietly.
Finally, I have the time to right in my diary. I have a lot of questions, because today has been a very confusing day for someone as young as me

'Dear Diary,
Where am I? I know this isn't home, but Miss Olivia took good care of me today. I want to go back home soon please.'
