Sarah-

Sarah stood on her front porch and waited for the kids, Her kids. Her long silky blond hair fell in perfectly straight down her back contrasting with the long sleeved black shirt she was wearing and long dark blue skirt, her bare feet picked delicately from under the hem. When the cars started to pull up she straightened her back and put a warm smile on her face to welcome them, "I am Sarah Riley. I will be your Mentor, Your friend, Your guardian, and Your therapist while you stay here. I don't have many rules and what rules I have I except you to fallow to the greatest of your abilities." she said warmly but a little stiffly to the group that was now standing in front of her, She ran her long slim fingers through her hair and smiled again, "This is your safe place, This is your recovery place, This is yours" she whispered sternly making them believe. "Welcome to my home, AKA Sarah's Room" she laughed and it put the kids at ease to hear her laugh.

Genvieve-

Genny stood with her back against her brothers chest, her arms folded across her own. She watched as the woman said her small speech and couldn't help but like her, this woman was serious about helping them. With a smooth easy movement she smiled at the Sarah, "I'm Genvieve Jones" she said softly her voice somehow managing to catch the attention of those around her. She small delicate figure wasn't impressive until she started to speak because the small body held the strong voice of a navy commander. She slid her fingers over the gray tee shirt and tight jeans because she was nervous.

Tyler-

In a protective movement Tyler wrapped an arm around Genny's shoulders and nodded to those around him, "I'm Tyler Jones" he said, his thick gruff voice making Sarah flinch a little but he use use to that reaction his voice frightened most people. He squeezed her shoulder out of his own nerves and watched those around him not sure to trust them, to many bad things had happened to him and Genny for them to trust many people so soon.

Kylynn had edged herself to the right of the little group giving herself a good 4-5 feet of space without another to touch. She had dyed her hair red a few weeks prior in a fit of needing to be different and it had settled to a rusty kind of red that bled down her shoulders to her back. She had her arms crossed but with her hand on her fore-arms like she was freezing her fingers twitching every other minute. She had on a gray paint splattered shirt that went down to her knees and black commando shorts that were met with thick combat boots. Sometimes while Sarah was talking she was playing with a key necklace she had and looking at the others a little frightened and suspicious. Shed say her name but much later if she was able to talk anyways, with so many people there.

Akira stepped out of the car warily, looking this way and that. He caught sight of Tyler and felt himself immediately grow uncomfortable. The guys stern voice made it worse. Akira's eyes drifted to his feet as he tried to control his phobia. Fear wasn't the best thing to show in new situations. Especially with how feminine he'd started dressing. He'd never been that big of a guy though and people had picked on him before because of his girly features, but lately he'd actually given thanks to his looks. Now he didn't have to be afraid of his own reflection. He was already afraid of half the world. "I-I'm Akira, Yumei Akira. Nice to meet you," he said meekly. Akira wasn't even sure if the others heard him. Maybe it was better if they didn't.

Baliey got out of the car slowly not wanting to meet anyone. She had a gray t-shirt on, with black skinny jeans, and she had black and gray suitcase matching with her black and gray shoes. After she got out she closed the door walking away from it, she heard Tyler's thick ruff voice but that didn't frighten her at all. As she walked towards the group of people with her head down looking at her feet. With her dirty blonde hair flowing behind her. Baliey stopped walking when she saw a couple of feet waving at Sarah and the others with her head down still. "I'm.. Baliey." She wasn't really comfortable with other groups of people anymore, so she said that soft, almost like a whisper but enough so that they could here her. She then stopped waving and putting her hand down to her side.

Jayson sat in the car watching the other people until the driver, after constantly telling him to get out, yelled “Get out! I have a job to do and I don't need this." Jayson jumped out of the car and it drove away, he muttered a few words under his breath and put on his ear-phones he slowly but cautiously walked towards the group of people. The lady noticed him and he hid his face feeling it was not safe, but she welcomed him and the feeling of welcome did feel a little safe so he turned towards the lady and the other people. ''Hello my name is Sarah. What is your name? Jayson didn't answer. “Well you don't have to tell me either just go inside and make yourself comfortable. He looked at the other people “uh ….. yeah I’ll do that.” And Jayson went inside and turned his mp3 player all they way up drowning himself in the music.

Sarah-

Sarah sighed as everyone entered her home and she fallowed after them. "Our first therapy meeting is tonight after dinner in my room, In Case you couldn't figure it out my room is the one with a poster that says Sarah's Room, If you don't show up your on KP duty and you have all electronics removed from your possession for 2 weeks" she said sternly but the protective motherliness in her voice was calming. She sent them all a smile and caught up with the boy who hadn't told her his name, "You shouldn't blast that your killing your eardrums, know take them out and listen I have more to say." she addressed him after pulling the Ear-phones out. "You guys have and allowance of $214 a month and your rooms have been decorated the way you specified, If it needs changing tell me. I have about 6 rules," she looked at them wondering if anyone was going to fight her rules."1)NO boys outside of family aloud in girls rooms and ViceVersa" she said and glanced at the Twins "2) You WILL be respectful to everyone in this house, 3) You will attend school starting in 2weeks, 4) You will do your chores 5) You will ask before you leave the house for long periods of time outside of school, 6) You WILL come to therapy and say something, It can be random but You Must say something" she had been looking at the seven kids around her as she spoke. "We have a game room with all the latest gadgets, a gym, and an art room. Have fun." she sighed and gave them a warm smile and walked into the kitchen letting them wander the house.

Genny

She sighed and walked up the stares to locate her room and sleep for the time before dinner. Genny opened two doors before she found hers and smiled at it, It was perfect and it just shined through with her personality. With ease as she walked toward her bed she pulled off her shirt revealing her whit tank top and kicked off her shoes. Sarah's rules were reasonable she thought as she spread across her satiny sheets and cuddled her pillow.

Tyler-

Tyler went to the game room and started playing Kill Zone, he was totally absorbed in the game, not noticing anyone around him. His features which were normally passive were alight with intrigue and fascination. He growled when his player died and stared at the controller blaming it for his death, "Stupid toy" he murmured and started playing again.

Baliey was okay with Sarah's rules she walked towards the art looking around the room. She grabbed some paint and started to paint a face after she was done with the hair she painted a dark and scary background. Then she put down the brush and painted stood back for a moment and smiled a little. The painting she just made was scary but beautiful it was a painting of her crying in a dark dirty kitchen with a hand wearing black gloves looking like it was about to grab her. She then grabbed the painting walking up stairs, she finally found her room and opened the door her room was beautiful. Placing the painting beside her bed, she jumped in it sinking inside of it. It was soft and comfortable like a puppy or kitten. She grabbed the painting and looked at it while a tear, dropped from the corner of her eye.

Akira hung back as the others ascended the stairs to their rooms. He turned and walked back to the kitchen where Sarah was. "U-umm, do you mind if we talk for a little Sarah-san? I want to......I want to get to know you a little if that's ok. Since we'll be living together from now on," Akira asked, standing with his hands behind his back and looking at her feet feeling too nervous to look at her directly.

Sarah-
Sarah turned and looked at the young man, she knew all of their stories but she wanted them to tell her their storied themselves. "Of course dear, why don't you peel and chop potatoes for dinner while we talk?" she suggested turning back around because she was frying chicken "Is there something in particular you want to talk about??"

"O-ok," Akira replied, going to fridge to retrieve the potatoes. Afterwards he began searching for a potato peeler. "C-could you tell me about yourself? I want to know more about you. Like, how long have you been a therapist? What are your likes and dislikes? Favorite color? And...." Akira trailed off as he began peeling potatoes. After a few seconds he tried to finish his thought. "And, have you ever been broken.....like me? I know how to fix things like a bike or a toy, but how do you fix a person? Can I be fixed? I don't want to be scarred anymore...." as he finished he noticed streaks of tears flowing from his eyes and running down his cheeks to plummet to the potatoes below. He rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand and shook his head. "So stupid crying like this. I'm going to ruin the potatoes."

Sarah smiled sadly, "I'm not really a therapist, You guys were sent to me BECAUSE I was broken. This house was built so the guy who broke me wouldn't be convicted. Ummm...Likes Purple anything purple or green. Chocolate...anything sweet really and Dislikes....well mostly men older or my same age younger I can deal with. And It took me six years to fix myself, and there is no promise it can be fixed but is gets better....It gets better" she said quietly and felt soft tears on her own cheeks "Don't worry about the tears, Its wont hurt the potatoes any" she laughed sadly.

Kylynn watched as some of the people went inside and looked at the door her teeth clamping hard on her tongue tasting a bit of blood. She didnt have the heart to just yet go in the house and thinking about living with so many people made her shake from queasiness, rolling her arms into fists at her side to stop. She let out a shaky breath and glanced over the house to see how big it really was. Her feet pushed her to go look around the back and she sat there on the ground under one of the windows trying very hard to calm down. It would be good to be somewhere else right now....

"Thanks, I-I guess I should tell you a little about me. Only fair, huh? Lets see, I'm 17. Japanese American, not hard to guess that huh?" he laughed. "Favorite color, black. Though some would argue that's not a color. Favorite food....eto....ano...ah! of course, strawberries!." Akira smiled thinking of the sweet and delicious fruit. "I'm a bit of an otaku. I like to draw, though I'm not so good at it. I'm a pretty good singer though," Akira continued as he finished peeling the last potato. He placed the peeler on the counter and put the potatoes in a pot. "I guess your biggest question is probably about my appearance. Why I dress like this. I......have what the doctors called Acute Androphobia. It means I'm afraid of m-m-m-m-m-maaa damn it! Its so hard to even say the word now. I'm afraid of g-g-guys, " Akira sighed. "Kinda strange considering I am one huh? Hehe. That's why I'm dressed like this. So I'm not constantly afraid. Yea I know, its stupid to be afraid of yourself, but I can't help it. It's just....whenever I see one my heart starts beating really fast. It gets hard to breathe. Its like suddenly someone sucked all the air out of the room and there's an unbelievable pressure on my chest. But its only me. I'm the only one that can't breathe. I start shaking and I become so terrified its hard to think straight. It feels like if I don't run away I'll die. So that's the reason I look like this. If I'm a girl I won't be scarred and I can still move around normally. Well as normal as I can be."

Audrey's bags were heavy she struggled under the weight. Audreys long hair blew in the wind and her pale skin flushed under the heat of the sun. She walked up to the doors of Sarah's house. She was embarrassed that she was so late. Audrey had probably missed everything she knocked on the door timidly with her frail fingers. She knocked again not waiting for a response. Audrey was scared of what everyone would think of her. She hid in her baggy clothes. Hiding her figure. She opened her bag and pulled on another shrug, she was freezing Audrey was always cold these days.

Her fingers had gotten so skinny that the ring that her brother gave her was loose on her finger. She fiddled with it while she waited for someone to open the door.

Baliey didn't want to go down stairs so she walked towards the window and looked outside of it. She always wondered why the sky was the color of sadness. Watching the clouds move slowly, she put on her ear phones listening to linkin park leave out all the rest. She started to sing,'I dreamed I was missing, You were so scared, But no one would listen, Cause no one else cared... Don't be afraid, I've taken my beating, I've shed but I'm me, I'm strong on the surface, Not all the way through, I've never been perfect but neither have you..' She sighed to herself still looking at the sky.

Kylynn's skin crawls with goosebumps as she hears the singing of another person, faint because of the glass from the window. She closed her eyes softly for a second feeling much calmer because she liked that song and her mom had always been a hardcore fan of the band so she knew the song well. After she finished the whole song, Kylynn got up her knees still shaking a bit and went to the front again because she didnt know where the back door was. There was another person waiting in the front and she stopped in her tracks as she looked at her. Very small she was and Kylynn easily figured out why she, at least, was here. Slowly she walked up behind the person and got as close to her as she could without hitting her or throwing up. Using a stick she had picked up she nudged the girl away so she could open the door herself, only to push the girl almost down the step. Wide eyed she dropped the stick and ran inside to find what ever room she was suppose to use to go and hide.

Audrey jumped as a girl came up behind her. She screamed. Audrey spun around quickly and glared at the girl who had picked up a stick. Audrey's vision blurred slightly she hadnt eaten in awhile and was beginning to feel the effects. Someone one was singing inside, Audrey didnt like the song and covered her ears with her hands. The girl pushed her aside with the stick, like she was an animal. Normally Audrey would have screamed at her and snapped the stick. But she was very weak and felt dizzy. The slight nudge sent her balance off and she collapsed down the stairs. The girl ran past her into the house. Audrey groaned. Struggling to sit up she used her bag as leverage.

Audrey struggled weakly, she would much rather lie there and die if she was telling the truth. She closed her eyes and tried to ignore the growing pain in her stomach.

Baliey decided to walk down stairs and walked inside the kitchen looking down. She really didn't feel like talking actually she didn't want to talk right now. But her mom always used to say you always have to talk to make a friend,"Umm.. H-h-h-hey Sarah.. H-h-h-h-how have you b-b-been.." She was horrible at starting a conversation.

Jayson went up to his room and sat near the window looking at the person lying outside .It looked like it was going to rain he hated rain but he felt bad that the person lying on the ground was going to get all wet.He remembered once that his dad locked him out of the house and was left in the rain waiting for his mother before he'd hate to think it was his fault if he didn't do anything.So Jayson came out of his room and went down stairs to open the door. " Uh.. here I just." He helped her up and carried her stuff into the house." I'd hate it if you would be left in the rain...... ar are you ok ?" He sniffled his nose.

Audrey lifted Head a a guy came out to help her. She let him carry her bags inside and she followed after him slowly. He seemed nice enough, better than the other girl who poked her with a stick. He seemed very nerovous, Audrey hid her shaking hands behind her back.

"thank you, "she murmured looking up at him.

"I'm okay," she winced her stomach told her otherwise. She plastered a fake smile on her face. Audrey was very good at acting happy, she had done it for years. She felt herself slipping back into the facade.

"I'm Audrey" she held out her hand for him to shake.

Gorge-
Getting out of the car he grabbed his backpack and closed the car door. He put his ear phones in his ears and walked towards the building. When stopped to tie his shoes because he almost tripped on one. As soon as he was at the door he knocked it. Not hearing his own knock because the music was loud. He knocked on it one more time waiting for someone to open the door. While waiting he turned his head from left to right. This place was pretty big and he was probably late for dinner. Oh well he didn't want to eat anyway. He turned his head back towards the door wondering how it looks inside...

"I-I'll get that, you two can talk," Akira said walking past Baliey and heading for the door. As he neared he heard the sound of voices coming from the doorway and another knock at the door. He rounded the corner and walked straight into Jayson. Akira backed up slowly trying to keep himself calm. "I-I-I-I'm-m-m-m s-s-sorry," he said continuing to back up until he hit the wall. Akira covered his eyes with his hands and tried to stop himself from hyperventilating. His breathing was already picking up and he was panting like he'd just run a marathon. Calm down, I've got to calm, he tried to tell himself, but his body wouldn't listen to what he was telling it.

Baliey-
She looked at Akira walking over to him,"Ar-Are y-you okay?" She looked at him with worry in her eyes. Of course he wasn't okay just look at him. The boy was probably scared of men thats why he reacted that way towards Jayson. She would try and help Akira up and she would say,"Tr-try to breath slowly o-ok-okay." Looking at him sadly feeling sorry for him. "Tr-try t-t-to tell your bo-body to s-st-stop." He probably didn't understand her because she was stuttering really bad.

"H-help (pant) need (pant) to get (pant) away (pant) from here (deep breath)," Akira replied. His phobia was progressing rapidly and if he didn't move away from Jayson it would get worse. He tried to push himself onto his wobbling feet slowly, but his strength was slowly fading as he struggled to breath. Tears were starting to form in his eyes as he took a step away from the wall and then another and then another and before he knew it he was running down the hall and locking himself in the bathroom.

Baliey-
She decided to leave him alone walking up stairs she opened her room door. Forgetting about the person at the door completely (lol). As she slammed her door without thinking she threw herself in bed rolling on her bed. Still thinking about the boy. Now she wondered why he dressed like that. Not wanting to get out of bed forcing herself out of bed she got up and opened her door. While closing it her heart jumped she had forgotten about the person knocking on the door. Nearly jumping down the stairs she ran towards the door. Then quickly opened it with her head down. "H-he-hello s-s-sorry to keep y-you waiting.." She moved out the way so the guy could come in..

Gorge-
Walking in without saying anything to the girl. He didn't really like girls or women they scared him. He didn't show it but what would he look like scared of a women. Anyway he looked aroung the place it was big. He really didn't like opened spaces not as much as females though. He turned back to Baliey waving at her then stopped, saying,"Umm.. Hi my name is Gorge." Saying that he walked around intil he could find his room and walked inside of it..
