I kept sitting on the cold ground until I heard the usual Ding Dong of the doorbell. I knew exactly who it was.
Ding Dong!
"Mail!" Called Bill our mailman.
"Thank-you Bill, just leave it on the doorsteps!" I called back.
"Will do Miss Oakwood!" He called yet again. As I heard Bill's footsteps die away I went and got the mail he had left on the doorstep. While I was walking back inside I looked through the letters. "Mr Tripper, Mr Tripper, Mr Tripper. Brooklyn Oakwood." I read. I was quite confused by the letter I now held in my hands. I don't have any friends or family members that I know of. Maybe it was the Foster Carers? Maybe I was being taken away? I couldn't stand not knowing any longing. I wrenched the seal open and read furiously the letter that I now held.
Dear Brooklyn,
It is I Amber. Your sister. Yes I am still alive but no I won't tell you where I am. I am so sorry that I left you. I had to. I would've taken you with me if I could. All will be explained in time. For now, I ask of you one favour. I know I should not be expecting you to agree perfectly for I have damaged your heart. But I intend to heal it. Please if you may find me. I have enclosed some details of my whereabouts in this envelope and I know you are clever enough to find me. I hope you know. I love you. Happy Birthday. :)
Sincerely,
Amber Oakwood
As I read the letter the colour was draining from my face. I was stunned. Amber's alive? How could she? How could she just leave me?! She knew all this time how much I hated foster care! She knew I would've said yes to going with her on the spot! I can't believe she didn't even tell me. Why didn't she write sooner?! I'm completely shocked. I take 3 slow large breaths. "1..2..3.." In the letter she said that she had to leave me. Why? Why couldn't she take me? Yeah, I was 6. But why? But I can ask her when I see her again. Wait. Who said I was going? Who said I wasn't going? Mr Tripper doesn't need me. But he won't let me leave. I'm his servant but I'm also a prisoner. I have a big decision to make.
Will I go?
Will I stay?
Hope u guys enjoyed my second part of Search For Paradise!
