Brother and sister Quote by Jasmine
“2/3 Blood was everywhere. My farther went in the ambulance. I went to my cousins house with of course my brother and sister. I was scared and in shocked. I had no clue what was happening. My mother was with my dad. So, she came and got me and my siblings eventually and said he has passed away. I knew the only thing for me to do was to stay strong. So I went to his funeral. I bursted out with tears. People I barely knew was hugging me and saying 'Say strong. You're very brave.' So I went to school and everyone saw me crying in back of the room.I really couldn't pay attention. So,I failed second grade. So,The time I got in fourth grade people started to bully me because I didnt have a dad.They started to say My dad commit suicide because he didnt want to be with me. But they don't know the real story so the continued. And Something happenend and me and my siblings went into foster care. We got abused. Treated like total crap. Until my half sister we barely knew decided to take us in.”
