I toss my phone onto the bed and head out to the balcony. The stars are bright and fill the entire sky. Settling back into the chair I look up, feeling more settled than I have in a long time. Things are finally falling into place. Going my way for once.

As soon as I turned eighteen, my foster parents kicked me out. I fucked up and tried to take Belle with me. I even got her out of the house and hidden away for two days, but the bastards called the cops and they eventually found us at Nate’s house.

I’ll never forget the sound of Belle’s screams as they dragged her away to the social worker who put her in a strange car. I begged and pleaded for them to stop, but they slapped handcuffs on me instead. I spent the night in jail and as a condition of my release, couldn’t go near my sister.

It was bullshit. She was my family. Of course I didn’t listen and went back to Chuck and Carol’s house but Belle was gone.

I camped out at social services for weeks until the same woman who had taken Belle away finally came out to talk to me. With my juvenile record, no means of support, and Nate’s gang affiliation, no judge out there would let me take my sister.

They’d sent her to a new foster family.

Alone this time.

Without a fucking high school diploma or a money to fight it, it was hopeless. The only job I could get was waitressing or stripping, and thanks to a lifetime of undernourishment and shitty genetics, the better paying stripper gig would never work for me.

I begged, but Nate refused to help me, beyond letting me stay in his bed. He didn’t understand why I wanted to saddle myself with a kid. I only stayed because I had no place else to go, but with every passing day, I had to accept that I might never find Belle again.

That’s what led me to Panchard, which had brought me here. I was living a life that didn’t belong to me while my sister was out there somewhere, with strangers who could be doing anything to my sweet Belle, and I wasn’t there to protect her. Because of my own selfishness.

I clenched my fingers and slammed them against the arm of the chair.

Fuck Riot if he thought he was going to screw up the only chance I had at finding her.

He didn’t want me near Hook? Well, fuck him. If he thinks he can push me into a corner and I’ll cower in fear, he’s dead wrong. I’ve got nothing left to lose and the thing about desperate people? We don’t fucking listen to anyone.

I’ll do what I came to do and after tonight, thanks to Riot’s bullshit macho act, I’m a step closer. I lean my head back and look up at the stars, comforting myself with the knowledge that Belle could be doing the same thing.

“Tink, I’m coming to get you, so don’t give up on me yet,” I whisper to the night.
