The teenage orphan [Being edited]

58. Happiness

I'm adopted, I'm finally adopted.

Earlier today Michelle brought us all to the judge, signed all the papers, and my name is officially Avalon Carter.

And I finally have a family again.

I haven't been this happy in forever.

I sat on the window sill and faced the view of the beach. I hung my legs out of the window and sat with the sun on my face.

"Hey beauty." Nolan said while coming up behind me and hugging me.

"You know, on my first day here, I was hated by Derek, it was awkward at dinner, I didn't have my best friend, I didn't have my best friend now boyfriend in my life again, and I didn't have a family." I said.

I scooted over and Nolan sat next to me. His arm was around me and I leaned my head on his shoulder. "And you have an orphanage under your family name. They sent this picture in earlier." Nolan handed me a frame of a bunch of children in front of the orphanage.

"This is amazing." I said. He kissed my cheek. "You're amazing." He said.

"It's finally back to normal again." I said smiling.

"Yeah, finally." He said.

We ran downstairs and I jumped onto the couch with the rest of my family.

"I love you guys." I said.

"We love you too." They all replied.

I smiled and I looked at every single one of them.

And I knew, that they were the family for me.

I am no longer a teenage orphan.

<And that was the end of "The Teenage Orphan.">
