11 YEAR OLD DARREN AND MAE

------------------------

MAE'S POV

        Darren and I finally found out we were getting adopted. After 6 years of switching foster home to foster home, we finally found someone who wants us. Their names are Marck and Joanna Dyra. They were super nice when the came to meet us. They gave us presents. We both got books. I guess that was when we both loved reading and writing. Darren got Milkweed and I got The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. They both talk about the Nazis and Jews. We loved it. We were packing our things. "Darren?" I asked.

        "Yes?" He answered.

        "Are you going to miss this orphanage?' I questioned.

        "OH HELL NO!" He yelled. I laughed.

        "Me niether." I replied. "But I will miss Madam Neveen." Madam Neveen was the head of the orphanage.

        "I won't miss her." He said.

        "Why?" I asked.

        "I never really liked her." He replied. "I guess she never really liked me. We always gave each other looks when we walked past each other. But I will miss Julia." Julia was one of the staff at the orphanage.

        "Eeh." I said. "I never really knew her. It's not that I didn't like her, it's that we never really interacted." Darren nodded.

        "We should get going." He said. "We don't wanna keep Mr. and Mrs. Dyra waiting."

        "I guess." I replied.

        He nodded again. "Let's go."

        DARREN'S POV

        Mae gave a hug to Madam Neveen and I gave a hug to Julia. We said our goodbyes and 'I will miss you' and got into the Dyras' car.

        "So." Mark said. "Are you guys ready to go?'

        Mae and I nodded, We both stayed quiet for most of the ride. Were in Lowell, MA and Mark and Joanna liked in Brooklyn, New York, New York. We were looking out the window until Joanna said something. "How 'bout we play a car game." She suggested.

        "Sure, Mrs.Dyra." I replied.

        "Oh call me Joanna and you can call my husband Mark." She said and smiled.

        I smiled back. "So how do we play?" Mae asked.

        "Well, it's called ABC places. We go clockwise. First, somebody says a city, country or sate that starts with A. Then the next person B and so on and so on." She explained.

        "You got that?" Mae and I both nodded.

        "Ok. Would you like to play, Marck?" She asked Marck.

        "Sure." He answered. "Why don't I go first. Alabama."

        "My turn!" Joanna said happily. "Burlington."

        "California." Mae said.

        "Deleware." I said.

        "Alaska." Marck said.

        And we kept on going and going until we got to Brooklyn.

        7 months later

        "I TOLD YOU TO STOP DOING DRUGS!!!!! I TOLD YOU, YOU WOULD GET ARRESTED!!!" Joanna yelled at Marck as he got pushed into the back of a cop car.

        Mae and I were just staring at the window as Marck got pulled away and Joana started crying. She came back in and started coming uo the stairs so Mae and I went back to doing what we were doing. I went back to doing my school assignment on my laptop and Mae went back to reading.

        "Why are you cring?" Mae asked Joanna in a sweet, innocent voice as if she didn't know anything about what happened.

        She started sobbing more. "W-well, you know h-how y-your father was on d-drugs?" She asked.

        "Yes." MAe and I both said.

        "W-well he g-got caught and n-now h-h-he's going to j-jail for th-thirty f-five years! Ohhh!" She started sobbing even harder.

        She ran over to give me a tight hug. I could barely breath. As she dug her face into my shoulder, I turned to Maeleigh and whispered, "help me."

        She nodded. "Joanna? Why don't you come downstairs with me to have some cookies n cream ice cream adn Darren could finish his assignment and come down after. Ok?"

        "Ok." She repleid.
