I crew up in the orphanage. To be honest we’re not sure if my parents were killed or not. One day one of the sisters opened the door and Bamn baby Brett was on their door step. So the orphanage is ran by nuns however I was not religious. I’m also the oldest girl there. I’m 18 and everyone else is like 7. The only reason I’m still here is because I wasn’t adopted all though Sister Judith the nun that found me was planning on retiring and letting me stay with her.
“Brett get up for school” Sister Lauren came in my room. I had my own room because I was too old to share with the younger children. Also I didn’t have to participate in the prayers because One I am not religious and two I am old enough not too.
So I was in collage. I was studying chemistry and art. I grew up with these people who are in my class. We all turned out ok I guess. Sasha and Elenor are completely into gothic things. They study English (The descriptive side) and art. However me and Barrone we study chemistry and art. Oh and we’re not gothic we’re mainly steampunk. Which is quite sciencey.
“Morning Brett” All the little 7 year olds shouted. I just waved and picked up my bag. Sister (We have to call them sister then whatever the fuck their name is) Sister Judith looked weirdly at me. “Skipping breakfast again?” I nodded. I wasn’t much of a talker in the house. I was at school but only to Barrone. Oh Barrone is my boyfriend and has been for three years now.
I feel really bad for Barrone, I’m lucky to have him yes and I wouldn’t change him for the world but I mean he has stuck up for me and always been there for me no matter how much of a bitch I am. Not towards him but just in general. However he always tried to help me. Because he cares.
I reached the school gates and sighed. Elenor ran up to me “Hey you get here now you have to hear this” She grabbed my hand and dragged me to the art block which was our usal hang out.
Sasha and Barrone were sat around a table. “What is it?” I sat opposite Barrone seeing as Elenor’s things were there. “Bullet’s new album” I grunted. “I heard it’s fucking shit” Sasha was a massive fan of them. So she wasn’t too happy when I said that. I got a death stare “What? I said I heard it was shit I didn’t say it was” She nodded her head and pulled a face of “Fair dos” Then clicked play on the first track. This is what we normally did. Whenever a band we like realised a new song we would all listen to it together.
Any way. Chemistry was my first lesson. “So how’s it going with Judith?” Barrone asked me while moving the test tube across the bench. “Sister Judith. And I’m not too sure to be honest but I really don’t want to move in with her. I mean when we’re done in collage me and you already planned to move in with each other. Why bother moving in with her just to move out a few weeks later?” Barrone nodded his head and carefully held the tube above the Bunsen burner. “I get where you’re coming from. I thought you wanted to find out about your parents as well?” I nodded and sighed. Barrone put the tube down and brought me into his chest. “It will be ok. I will help you find out if you wanted too?” I looked up and smiled at him. “Really? I mean I’m sure the sisters would let you into the orphanage if I said we had a science project” Barrone smiled at me and brought me back into his chest.
That night me and Barrone headed to my well house I guess. “Sister Tabitha can my friend Barrone come in. We have a science project we need to do?” Sister Tabitha ran the orphanage. She walked out of her office to see Barrone. “Isn’t he your boyfriend?” I nodded. She looked at him. “My god you two dress pretty much the same, Erm yes as long as he leaves before ten PM and you don’t get up to any business” I nodded and put my hands up “Oh god I mean gosh sister no we wouldn’t do that” I awkwardly looked at Barrone and dragged him to my room.
“I am so sorry about the sister” Barrone shook his head and just laughed. “Don’t worry about it. Now where do we start looking?” I sat down and had a think. “Well all of the records are in the office but that’s only for the children that live her. I’m not a child therefore mine will be in the attic which we can get too most likely with no one knowing” Barrone nodded.
We looked in the boxes. “Hey Brett. Some kid here has the same second name as you” Barrone handed me a file. Scott Leonardo. I looked puzzled. “No idea” We carried on looking until we found my file. “We’ll take it down stairs. Might as well bring this Scott kid”
We took the files into my room and began reading into them. We read Scott’s file.
Reason for being brought to the orphanage: Financially unstable
Mother: Daisy Leonardo
Father: Peter Leonardo
State: Adopted
“This Scott kid is adopted now then!” I had a look at the file Barrone was holding. “He will also be about 22” We started to read into mine.
Reason for being brought to the orphanage: Letter states no money father deceased
Mother: Daisy Leonardo
Father: Peter Leonardo
State: Home
Next we laid our eyes on the letter
Dear sister Tabitha,
My husband Peter sadly died in a car accident and we have found our self having another child. As Scott has been taken into an adoptive home I have decided to give up our baby girl. Her name is Brett. Please look after her and find her a good home.
Daisy
My heart physically felt like it was stopping. Barrone took me into his arms and kissed the top of my head. “Shh it will be ok I promise I will make it ok”
*Barrone’s P.O.V.*
I have no idea how to make it ok. I guess finding Scott would be a good one.
The next day I walked up to Brett. Her eyes were all red and black. “Hey will you come somewhere with me at break?” She looked up and nodded. “I have two things to show you” She tried to smile.
We sat in art. I walked over to her and put my arms around her waist. She was painting a tree with no leafs. It was like a silhouette of a tree. And it was all black with a tea stain colour back ground. I was painting Brett.
I took her hand after the lesson. “So where are you taking me?” I sighed and turned to her. “You’re going to hate me but I found your brother. Like where he works he owns a little shop” She looked down and nodded. She paused and looked back up. “Lets go. I want to meet him” I looked deeper into her eyes “Are you sure?” She nodded.
We walked into the shop. Brett nodded at me and I knew she wanted me to stay where I was. “Hi are you Scott?” The man behind the counter turned around and looked at Brett. He smiled “I am yes” He smiled again and she looked down. “I hope I’m not mistaken but I come from Sister Tabitha’s orphanage and I was looking at the old files last night because I still live there and well I came across mine and yours and it says you’re my brother only you were adopted before I was born” I looked around the corner. Scott had sat down and had his head in his hands. “Brett right?” She nodded. “Yes I believe I am your brother then. My adoptive parents told me about you. When you arrived Sister Tabitha rang up and told my parents that my little sister was now living there. I got told when I was 18. So round about your age then” Brett nodded. She turned around and saw me. “This is my boyfriend Barrone. He helped me find you” I walked out from behind the corner. “Hi” Scott put his hand out so I shook it. He looked at me. “Thank you for reuniting me with my little sister”
“So what else did you want to show me?” I held onto Brett’s hand as I took her into a building. “What are we doing here?” I took out a key which opened a door to a small apartment. “I told you we would live together one day, Brett I’m really thankful I found someone like you who understands me. I love you” Before she could say it back I pressed my lips against hers.
Hope this plott was ok Brett :)
