"I'm scared to be loved,"

It's been a hard life for Y/N.
Ever since she was born, she's been thrown into a string of foster homes that haven't treated her well. Abuse and fear have riddled her life.
Until she reaches one home...
"Y/N, did you take my body spray from the bathroom?!" Ginny busts through the door, the mechanical pencil comes off the paper as I stare at the wall, annoyed. It's always something. I can never have peace.
"No." I simply answer.
"Are you sure?"
"I promise to Irene I did not take your Mariah Carey Ultra Pink Body Spray." She wears that shit every day, it must've just rolled under her bed or something. I don't even wear stuff like that.
"Okay well, I can't find it." I collect my pencils and my notebook, stuffing them into my backpack.
"That sounds like your problem." I push past her, walking down the hallway.
"Ivy said she saw you Garroth the other day, and that he was carrying you to the nurse? How did that feel?" I furrow my brows as I trudge down the hallway. "Garroth's never done that for any of the girls he's met."
"Go away."
"Don't you think that's a little weird" Yeah, but I'm not discussing that with you. "Y/N. Y/N. Y/N." This child is going to make me strangle her. "Where are you going?" She follows me into the kitchen. "My mom and dad said nobody is allowed to leave the house when they're gone." I grab a couple of things from the pantry and shove it inside my backpack.
"Stop me." I swing the door open and then slam it shut. Yes, I'm not allowed to leave the house while Ryland and Ashlee are at work, but who's gonna stop me? Not Ginny that's for sure.
The park is a five-minute walk from here, so I'll just go there to get away from Ginny's craziness. All morning she's been bothering me about random shit, for example, the Garroth thing.
There's also the Shadow Knight thing where she was asking me if I was dating Gene, then she asked me if I was friends with the potato, Aphmau, and also how I wasn't dead yet.
I didn't respond to most of those questions, but for the last one, I said I don't know but if you give me a blade I'll make it happen right now. Scared the crap out of her and she left me alone, until now.
I swear to Irene the girl is bipolar, just like her father.
The sidewalk ends near a construction site, making me walk through the wet grass with my brand new shoes to get into the side of the park I deem safe. I knew I should've picked the black ones. But no, I wanted the white ones 'cause they looked cool.
...
Yesterday was a weird day. I finished all my chores in the morning and then after that, Ashlee gave me all the money from the weekly check. That's nearly a hundred dollars that she usually keeps to buy food or go shopping with, and my reaction to it made her laugh.
Take it before I go use it for myself, is what she told me.
So I took it, left, bought some new shit, and came back feeling a bit better.
The wind makes my hair dance as I sit under the tall oak tree, working on the drawing I was shading before Ginny interrupted me. I honestly don't know what this is supposed to be of because usually, my drawings represent something that has happened to me, for example,
