"Third kid? You mean lacey? Hun you know she's-" my mum starts but I interrupt. "Don't you dare say she's dead! We saw her when we went to the orphanage!" I yelled.

"You lied to us!" Casey yells "she was my sister! My twin! You had me thinking she was dead!"

"Look we can explain. We only ever wanted two kids. What we did to lacey was-"

"Save it Mum!" I yell "Adopt lacey back."

"Im sorry, but we can't handle more than two kids. Lacey never even liked being in this family!" My dad says.

"Fine. I'll adopt her on my own. You two are sad excuses for parents. I'm adopting casey too." I yell my hands folding into a fist.

"We aren't giving her up!" My mum screams. She was almost in tears but I didn't care. She deserved it.

"Then I'll fight you for her!" I yell picking up casey a little to forcefully and walking out the door slamming it behind me.

I put Casey in the back of the car and drive to the orphanage.

How could they abandon their own child? Lacey's was to young to go through all that. The sad part is, lacey probably knows that they never came for her.

The thought of her living there for two years knowing her parents never cared about her and thinking the same of me and Casey made me sick.

"I hope you win the fight." Casey says softly.

I look back at her in the mirror. I forgot she had been standing there while I was yelling at Mum and dad. I wonder if it scared her when I said it..... Maybe she was happy.

I pull up in front of the orphanage and get out of the car. Casey does the same.

I walk to the front desk, Casey next to me. "how can I help you?" The lady asks.

"I'm here to adopt."
