The of the daughter of the Dawson's

1: happy birthday to me

I was finally 18 it was my 18th birthday I could leave this horrible place maybe even find out who my mother was . I open my eyes as I hear my name "Josephine get down here now it may be your birthday and your last day here but I still need help with breakfast " Charlotte says. She owned the orphanage she was the worst as I got out of bed "coming " I yell and put my ginger hair into a high ponytail walking downstairs into the kitchen in my PJ's still as some kids were awake but most of them were still asleep I had most of my things packed but honestly I didn't have a lot with me I had a locket I have had since I was a baby , a few clothes and the baby blanket I was wrapped in when I came here "Dawson did you hear anything I said " charlotte asked as I snapped out of my own thoughts "I'm sorry what did you ask " I look at her . Charlotte looks at me "I asked if you could get me the plates so I could start putting the food on them and giving it to the kids " she says . I nod "of course " I say it was such a simple request yet her cold tone was enough to make anyone want to cry I got the plates giving them to charlotte I thought to myself I can wait to leave this place start my own life . Soon breakfast was over and I had helped clean up walking back upstairs to my room I shared with 2 other girls I walked into the room for the last time ever it was quite a simple room the walls were painted a light brown color , the wooden floors creek when you walked on them four small beds and two dresses for our clothes it wasn't the greatest place but it was home... I walk over picking up my bag looking around the room for the last time "so this is it I'm really leaving " I say to myself checking to see if i had everything I walk over to my bed seeing my baby blanket picking it up "okay dawson let's go " I whisper to myself and walk to the door opening the door walking out closing it behind me walking downstairs to the front grabbing my jacket since it was January and snowing in New York I put on my jacket and then put my bag on my back as I hear a few of the kids yell bye to me I say bye back opening the door walking out "okay Josie your life starts now happy birthday " I say to myself in a whisper
