YES YES! I know O2L broke up and they moved but this is a fan FICTION! IMAGINARY! Please just play along and if you're a true O2L fan you'll LOVE IT!

"I-I'm going to miss you s-so much!" I sob, death hugging my best friend Riley.

"I'm going to miss you too, Reese. But I have to go," Riley says, sadly.

Riley just got adopted by a young, rich couple -- they're all moving to Rhode Island. Yes, we're orphans. Well, just me now I guess.

I nod sadly and watch as my only friend throughout my entire life so far leaves me, gone faster than my chances of ever getting adopted at this place. I try to bite back a sob but fail miserably, falling back onto Riley's naked bed and begin bawling my eyes out.

I think about all memories Riley and I had; sad, miserable, happy, exciting.

Who knows how long I've been crying for?

I sit up, sniffling and walk over to the window to peer outside, seeing nothing but the porch light to brighten the darkness outside.

I sigh loudly and fall onto my own bed, pulling the covers over my head.

After several minutes, I fall into a much needed sleep.

"P-please, mommy! Stop it!" Cries a little voice from behind me.

I snap around and see a stomach churning sight; a grown woman beating on a bruised girl.

I gasp and attempt to cover my gaping mouth with my hand, but I can't.

"No! You're the reason your father left me! It's all you! You!" Screams the mother.

Finally, the little girl stops crying. Stops begging. Stops breathing.

The mother leaves the room, slamming the door behind her, and not even realizing she murdered her daughter in cold blood.

Who is she?

I wake up with a loud gasp, tears stained my cheeks and my eyes red and sore.

"R-Riley," I hiccup, turning into the direction of where Riley's bed is.

My heart drops when I realize Riley isn't with me anymore.

I lay back down in my bed, little tears streaming down my face as I let my conscious slowly torture me back to sleep with the same thought in my head;

Why me?

"Reese. Wake up, hun!" says Mrs. Frame, waking me up.

I yawn and open my eyes.

"Why?" I complain, rolling over onto my stomach.

"Because there are people coming to adopt today! Big day, Reese! Big day!" Miss Frame sings, prancing out of my room to go wake the other kids. She says that every time adopters come to check us out.

I yawn again and stretch my arms and legs out, dramatically. I wipe my eyes and sit up on my bed, reluctantly.

"Big day, Reese. Big day," I mimick the lie I've heard too many times, going over to my closet.
