Adopted by Zalfie

Chapter 41

Jeanas pov

Once I arrive at school I see Maya and go running towards her. We hug and tears start forming in my eyes.

"I don't want to go." I cry out.

"I don't want you to go either." She says.

We hang out all day close since it's the last.

School ends quickly before we know it and we know we have to say goodbye.

"I'm going to miss you so much." Maya says, hugging me again.

"I'll miss you too." I cry into her shoulder. I walk put of school, looking back at her as I left. The door shut and she disappears. Goodbye Maya Deyes.

...

I stare at my empty room. Even though I had nothing to be proud of here, and my walls were faded and white with holes in them, my bed was too small for me, and my door was almost broken off, I'm going to miss seeing it everyday.

I'll know what it's like to be Maya now, but I'll never know the pain she felt. She always had to see an adoption agency, she was alone, and she didn't have parents.

I can't believe I've lived in this old shack all my life for 13 years, and it's come to this. I walk around, touching the walls one last time. Then I walk by the broken door and open it, saying goodbye to my room and one last look.

A woman in a suit came out to get my bag. I didn't have a lot to take so it wasn't hard. She opened the door for me and I climbed in the car. As we drove off, I watched my own home get smaller and smaller until it was a distant memory.

Afer about a 20 minute drive, we arrive at a small looking building make completely out of brick. I walk inside to see a rather large older woman at the desk.

"Hi you must be Jeana." She greets, happily. "I'm Jackie."

Maya pov

I feel so bad for Jeana. I thought I had it the worst, but she did and still does. She's going to an adoption agency, she's alone, and she has no parents... anymore.

I can't feel sorry for myself. I know I won't have friends, but she will have no one. I never told her that the place she's going to is where I used to be in.
