The lost princess

The cafe <3

A week later~

I don't think I want to leave anymore.

Just thinking of leaving these children who are more like family to me is painful.I'm sure it's the same for them. What would I ever do without them?
Would they be okay without me?
Would they still remember me?
What if something happens to them when I leave?

I decide to not dwell on it anymore and instead focus on the future , which at this point was unpredictable I mean who thought something like this would ever happen to me or anyone for that matter, a bit cliché if you ask me. But at the same time , i can't lie I'm excited about the thought of being a princess, you can't blame me wasn't that nearly everyone's dream at some point.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was 12 O'clock and I was laying in bed surrounded by the bare walls of what will soon be another child's room after I leave. I sighed, I couldn't help it I mean it has been a pretty chaotic what 2-3 weeks? I don't know. At this point time seemed like nothing important.

" All right that's it I've done enough thinking for the whole year time to do something productive."
With the little strength I had in my bones I rolled over and dropped to the floor, from there dragging my feet across the room to the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower and all the necessary things I walked back in the room and opened the closest box of clothes that I had packed  looking for something to wear so I could go out to that cafe I've been want to go to. I nearly started drooling thinking about how everyone at my school talked about the apparently drop dead delicious food they sold. Getting back to my task I pulled out a white turtle neck that was at the bottom of the box and a black tight plaid skirt.
Throwing the two pieces of clothing on the bed, I debated on wearing tights but ruled against it since it was bright outside. Next, I set my self to work by picking what shoes to wear which ended up being behaving black faux suede ankle boots. After I set them Down it finally came down to the accessory, I had already decided i would wear a necklace with a little butterfly on it.

When I finished getting dressed I took my phone off charger and got ready to leave. I was about to walk out of my room when I realised I hadn't done my hair, I quickly took it out of its lazy ponytail and did two loose braids, tying them off at the end with two white bands.
Satisfied with my look at picked my thing up again and headed out of the room, unsurprisingly there was no one downstairs since they had all gone to the park for a day out, which I had passed on.

Heading out the house, I felt an immediate sense of relief, I had not realised before but being inside was suffocating, I made my way down the gravel path of the orphanage and walked to the bus stop which would take about 15 minutes max.

At the cafe ☕️
Immediately after I walked I was enveloped in the sweet scent of freshly baked doughnuts.
" well I think I just found my new favourite place." I said breathless at the thought of all the sweet goodness.
I heard a laugh behind me, causing me to turn around nearly bumping into a nice looking lady who seemed to be a waitress here.
She smiles at me and said " well aren't you a pretty one, anyway I'm glad you found your new favourite place, what can I get you."
A little flustered at what she said, I stood there for a second like a useless fool, when I gained my sense back I replied.
" thank you I think I might have a seat down first to look at the menu."
Tucking her fountain pen and little note book in her apron she nodded at me and said,
" alright then my name is Maria nice to meet you, I'll get back to you soon it was nice talking to someone with your type of aura."
Muttering a quick bye, she scuttled off to take care of someone's order. I found a seat at the back, next to a window and sat I grabbed the menu from where it had been on a stand on the table and flicked through the it, and gosh did everything look heavenly but at the end I settled for a caramel frappe and one chocolate glazed Oreo doughnut.

Time skip ✨

I took my order to go, thinking I could take a wonder around before heading home. About to take a bite of the doughnut, I stopped abruptly having seen a homeless looking teenager, my greedy self still has to debate wether to give it to him or to eat it myself, following my better judgment I decided to hand him the doughnut, I walked off after exchanging pleasantries and him giving me a grateful look.

Luckily I still had my drink and calmly sipped on it. Without realising I had made my way to a park, that was know for its cute statues of historical figures that were splayed all around the park.
I decided I had been walking for a little too long, after taking a rest I decided to take myself home, having dumped my trash in the bin next to the bench I was sitting on I made my way to the nearest bus stop to see when the next bus would be arriving, I felt my feet wobble in relief seeing that I would only have to wait a few minutes to catch a bus that was heading towards my orphanage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I walked up the gravel leading to the orphanage, glad I finally made it back. Walking up the stairs I heard murmurs coming from different bedrooms indicating everyone was home. Too tired to say hi to everyone I headed straight to my room, discarding my shoes in the corner and changing into simple bicycle shorts and a worn out t-shirt, I took off the necklace setting it down on the little night stand next to my bed, and flopped face first into my duvet. Crawling into the cover I lay down.

My head hit the pillow, it felt heavy causing my eyes to droop, obviously not fighting sleep I did what my body and mind was screaming at me too do, I fell asleep.
