As they made their way up the porch, the two boys never looked away, staring at them intently. Alex stared back and pushed open the door. The sound of loud screaming and yelling immediately escaped from the room and he was bombarded by three other boys. They yelled a lot of things at him at the same time but he was able to understand what each one was saying. He didn't reply but continued on. They shouted some other things and left the house, slamming the door shut. The house was clean, decorated simply with a few abstract pictures and flower vases. A tight frown was plastered on Alex's face as they traveled from the front to the back of the house. People were surrounding a door, some worried, some saying insults like 'stupid', 'mental', or 'insane'. Making sure Sophie was behind him, he slowly opened the door. The room was painted a bright yellow and decorated with zoo animals. There was a small bed and a toy chest but that was it. No TV, not even a window. Alex whispered to Sophie, "Don't get too close." He let go of her hand, easing forward. There was a girl, yelling and throwing toys everywhere, some breaking, and some bouncing back and hitting her. Through her small blue shirt, her stomach was tucked in and her ribs stuck out. She had bruises and wounds all over her arms and legs.
