She's Not Cinderella

5: rosie dear

*rose pov*
I was 5 when I remembered my mom. I don't remember much neither does  Kelly, Georgia and oscar. Oscar was a firefighter and was used to kids being left at the firehouse by parents who didn't know what to do. But Oscar knew my mom, that's what Kelly tells me all the time. Oscar and my mom lived in the same apartment building. He lived in apartment 3D with his wife Georgia and their only daughter kelly.
As I said , Oscar was a firefighter and was used to people leaving babies on their doorstep but I wasn't left at the firehouse, I was left on the doorstep of Oscar's house. And boy does Oscar love telling me the story.

august - 5-2009
"It was August fifth 2009, I was getting home from work and was walking up the stairs. Our apartment was down the hall from the stairs so I was able to see our door from the stairs. And as i'm walking towards our door a light above our apartment was shining brighter than before and there you were, sitting in front of the door crying more like screaming. I'm surprised geo didn't hear you from inside the house. You were wearing a dora t shirt and blue jeans. Your hair looked like it hadn't been brushed in years and your face had multiple cuts and dirt on it. I didnt even wanna know what that lady did to you" he would pause and take  a moment to breathe.  "I took you inside and kelly saw you and well fell in love with you, while i cooked dinner kelly got you cleaned up while geo ran to the corner store to find some fresh diapers and clothes for you, and together as a family we dressed you made you look like a fucking human and since that day i called you my granddaughter and kelly well she calls you her daughter even though you guys arent that far apart in age" he laughs and kelly always smiles and holds my hand.
Soon after that day Georgia and Oscar adopted me. We moved around a lot after Oscar lost his job at the firehouse, and soon settled down in the apartment we live in now. I was 10 when we moved in. The walls were Georgia's favorite color and the kitchen cabinets were stickers Kelly and I stole from stores, the fridge covered in photos of Georgia and Oscar from trips, their wedding night and photos of Kelly and I growing up.

Present day:
And that's what they did when kelly turned 20 she adopted me and grandma and grandpa, once called oscar and georgia passed away before seeing kelly become my legal guardian but we both know this is something they would want. Since i was adoptive i've seen my biological mom about four times and all the times were bad, the first time was order by the court just for her to see me as she had the right too she showed up drunk with a man no one new, she looked at me in shock and ask why i looked so ugly then called grandma a bitch and walk out the court cruising at the judge. Georgia invited her to my sweet 16. She showed up just to give me a pack of cigarettes and ask Oscar if I was doing heroin. Then she saw me in the store and she ran from me and lastly she came to my graduation party. Shockingly, Kelly, who I now call mom, thought she wasn't going to show but when she showed up with her new boyfriend Mark she brought me a gift and actually stayed for a little while.
"Hey mom" i smile sitting next to her on the couch
"Hey, she called , she had something to tell you. '' I nodded and got up to go call her back. Ty is my bio mom. We still try to keep in contact but she is always moving back and forth to different countries and states. So it's hard to see her sometimes.
The phone rings and soon i head ty speaking
"Oh good you got back to me"
"Hey ty whats up"
"I wanted to show you what japan looks like" she smiled
"How are you in japan right now"
"Oh i meet this amazing man his name is Akio oh you'll like his he is very cute" she smiled
"Oh that's good ty '' I smile. The men she meets normally never last and she ends up finding someone new soon.
"Well i have to go but when i get back we have to get breakfast" she smiled i nodded and hung up as walked back to the couch
"Where is she now" kelly asked
"Japan"
"Wow new guy" I laugh as I watch the tv. "Maybe she will remember how much i love japan and bring me something" i laugh mom laughs and shakes her head
"Don't get your hopes up, i'm going to go ready for work you coming in with me" she asked i nodded and stood up from the couch as well "yeah let me tell anna to get dressed" i walk into my room as the rings of the facetime call starts to ring
"Whats up dude" i heard anna say from my phone
"You coming to the dinner"
"Uh yeah what time, am i driving you and kelly" she asked i looked over and she was eating some chips
"Uh yes, those are my chips."
"You left them in my room, i'm going to eat them" she laughs and eats another chip
"I left them so we can have something to eat when we watch a movie"
"I was watching a movie before you called so i'm using them for the right reason" i roll my eyes and laugh a little bit.
"Well we are leaving now so get dressed" i say she nods and the call ends.
"Anna is such a good girl," mom says, putting the chips back in their bag and putting the bag on top of the fridge.
"That is why she is my best friend"
"What am i chop fucking liver" she says and i roll my eyes walking into my room grabbing ym shoes and sweater "hello you didnt answer my question" she says following me into my room
"Do you really think i think your chop liver mom" i smile and she nods
"I have anxiety rose you can't play with me" she laughs and walks out of the my room
"Who has anxiety?" Anna says, walking inside.
Anna is my bestfriend i love her. I really do, I remember when we first met. Sixth grade Anna was brought into my class after getting into a fight with a different girl in her old class. And ever since that day we clicked i'm not sure why or why we became so close so fast but the next week of knowing  her she was practically living at my house and i was practially living at hers, we had so much fun and my whole family lived her and her family loved me, well besides mac he was kind of scary and i hated him a little bit but other then that we had a pretty good friendship. And till this day I will always love her.
