Mia's POV
After i finished my breakfast I went upstairs and brushed my teeth. I wonder if me and Alexis will get adopted. I went back to sitting on my bed on my phone until it was time for us to come downstairs for the adoption day meeting that starts at 1pm and its only 9am. I started thinking of all the past times we have been adopted and almost beaten to death. It was terrifying. I looked at the scar on my leg from when this man from my previous adoption threw me across the room and cut my leg really deep on something but i can't remember what it was but now i have a scar there. I had a few tears coming out of my eyes and I couldn't stop them. I couldn't stop thinking of all the bad memories but the worst one when we lost our parents.

• flashback to 5 years ago •
We were driving to town at 7pm 17th November so it was dark outside me and my sister were in the back seats and my dad was driving with my mom in the passenger seat. We were on a main road when there was a lot of beeping and a drunk driver smashed into the front of our car. I was knocked out and I could hear my sister crying when i was awake. I looked at my mom and dad but couldn't hear anything but the ambulance but it was drowning out. I tried to wake my parents up but they wouldn't. We were taken to the hospital. I saw my mom and dad asleep on the beds. I thought they were knocked out or asleep but the the doctor came in and said " im so sorry but they're gone " then he took us to this orphanage where we were bullied and beaten until someone adopted us but they locked us in our room with no food so we left to this orphanage and we have been in and out of homes for a few years and as i have grown up I've been getting anxiety and panic attacks and thats why im so independent because im scared they will hurt me like the people in my past.

As I try to stop picturing the memories i check the time and its 12:55pm. The adoption people will be here soon so i look in the mirror and all my mascara has shifted south so i wipe it off and put it back on.
