Not Me

Getting you away from here

I waited all day, it's 11pm. I'm gonna get my sister from that orphanage one way or another. I've got everything in the car waiting, I've been sitting here for ten minutes now, waiting for the right time.

I got out, quietly shutting the door. I walked to the entrance, finding the door locked. Running to the back door, I tried it quietly. It was unlocked. Walking quietly through the dark building, I used my phone for a flashlight.

"B11, B12, B13, B14 bingo" I whispered to myself

I opened the door, seeing Allison sleeping peacefully next to another little girl, in the dimly lit room. Suddenly, I hear walking down the stairs, I hurried to hide in the closet. Covering my mouth to hide my fast breathing.

I watched as the door opened, the lady peeking her head through the door, my heart was beating so loud, I thought she was going to find me. She shut the door, I sat there for a few more minutes.

I heard her walk back up the stairs, hearing a door close after. I released myself from the closet and over to Allison.

"Ally, ally, wake up" I quietly shook her

She opened her eyes, hugging me quickly in response.

"I told you I was gonna be back for you" I whispered

"What are you doing?" She whispered back

"I'm getting you out of here" I grabbed her hand, but she pulled back

"I can't leave Gracie, can she come with us?" She asked

I turned to Gracie, looking her into the eyes

"Do you wanna come live with me and Allison?" I whispered

"If it gets me out of here, yes" she nodded rapidly

"Okay, let's go" I grabbed both of their hands and walked to the door

I opened it and looked out, making sure our coast was clear. I turned and motioned for them to be quiet and follow me. We ran down the carpeted hallway, quickly and quietly. Making our way to the exit, we got out the building.

We ran over to my car, I unlocked it and they crawled into the back seat. As soon as they closed their doors and I got in, the light to the upstairs bedroom turned on. I started the engined and burned out of the parking lot.

I checked us into a hotel room, settling them in for the night. I crouched down and rubbed Alison's head.

"I missed you so much ally, I've been looking for you for so long, and now I've finally got you back" I sobbed

"What if they find me?" She asked

"They won't, I will not let any one take you and Gracie from me, okay?" I told her

"Okay" she nodded

I kissed her temple and went to Gracie's side

"I'll take such good care of you, okay?" I asked

"Okay, thank you for getting me out of there" she sat up and hugged me tight, I hugged her little frame in respons

"Goodnight, girls" I said

"Goodnight" they said, that was the last thing in heard before, drifting off into a deep slumber

{next day}

I woke up, hearing the light snores of the little girls. I gathered my things and got them ready for when we leave.

"Wake up girls, we've gotta go" I shook them lightly

"Where are we going sissy? Allison asked

"We're moving to California" I smiled brightly
