chapter 11

 My mum is slowly recovering, and the doctors believe she will pull through, but it will take some time for her to get back to normal. That's good news! You're all going to love this chapter. I apologize for the delay in updating.

Why on earth did I volunteer to watch over Leo? I hardly even know him. I mean, I barely knew him before he ran away, but back then, he was a happy-go-lucky guy, like a Latino Santa elf. Now, though, he is sad. I read his file and know he didn't have the best childhood, but I didn't realize it was this bad. As I lay in bed, I thought about it being the first night that Leo would be living with me. 

"Aww, shoot," I said aloud, glancing at the alarm clock beside my bed. It was seven in the morning, and I couldn't believe I lost track of time the entire night. I walked over to Leo's bed to wake him up. As I shook his shoulder, I realized two things: first, Leo was incredibly skinny—I could see his bones sticking out—and second, many little white scars were running from his wrists all the way down his forearms—suicidal scars. I just lost track of time-- again, because when I looked up, all I saw were two amber-red orbs staring up at me
