The Orphanage // Matt and Chris

01

Background (skip if you want):

I was raised in a small small town, I'm talking 20 people in my school, which was also a school for every other person from the ages of 5-18.

My parents were farmers, from what I could remember. Almost everyone in town had a farm actually.

I was sent to the orphanage when I was 6 going on 7, so I don't remember much about my parents.

I only remember being such a burden on them.

To the point that I was taken away by a lady named Judith, who I would soon come to despise.

I did what any teenage girl would do, I ran away.

I got out barely by sneaking out during "outside time".

Outside time was from 6 am to 6:30 and it was the time when some other girls would sneak out. I've heard stories of it but never seriously thought of sneaking out myself.

That was until the incident happened.

(Start)

I was seventeen and knew absolutely nothing about the world.

I roamed the highway aimlessly at six in the morning, it was so dark out though.

I was crying because I was scared.

I had no idea what to do, there were barely any cars passing through, if any, but none were stopping for me. I just kept walking.

I was walking for about 40 minutes, my tight shoes were killing me, my conservative dress was suffocating me, until a car stopped for me.

Inside of it were 3 boys who all looked identical. I had never seen anything like it in my entire life.

I yelped as the one in the back seat rolled down his window and I got a good look at them all.

"Do you need help?" The one in the passenger side asked, his face was extremely chiseled and his eyes were so bright and blue.

Even though I've only seen a few dozen boys in my life, he was by far the best looking.

"Y-yes." I spoke smally, my cheeks tear stanied.
"Come in, there's nothing around here for miles." The one in the back seat assured me, he looked the exact same as the rest of them, it was scary.

Even though I was scared, I quickly began to realize I could trust them. Just by the way they seemed so humble and frank afraid of me too.

The one in the driver seat was staring curiously at me but didn't utter a word, again, he looked exactly like the other two.

The back seat boy opened the door for me and I reluctantly got in.

We started driving and it was quiet for a while.

Until the boy beside me broke the silence.

"If you don't mind..where are you coming from?" He asks kindly.

"The orphanage." I answer which leads to a long time of silence.

"Did you mean foster home?" The boy in the passenger seat asks, confused.

"What is that?" I ask, looking beside me.

"Oh, nevermind him. Are you hot?" The one beside me asks kindly.

"A little bit..." I admit quietly.

I see the driver's hand immediately go to the air conditioning, blasting cold air.

"Your car has an air conditioner?" I ask in disbelief.

"Mhm." The driver tells me quietly, his voice is different than the others, it's more comforting.
