All your little things... (One Direction adoption story)

Chapter 1 - skyscraper

One thing about me. I'm a orphan. My parents and I were at dinner at a diner down the street from my babysitter's house. There ended up being a shooting, and they killed everyone at the diner, but the kids. They grabbed us and took us to the kitchen. They turned on the stove and burnt both of our hands.

I came here when I was already 10. Nobody wants a older girl, or boy. It's all about younger kids. I'm the oldest girl, the oldest boy being Chris, age 15. The girl following me is my best friend CeCe, age 13 1/2. The boy following Chris is Mikey, he's 14 like me. He's my best friend that's a boy.

Back to reality, I'm sitting on my bed writing a new song. I call it skyscraper. (I am aware it is Demi Lavato's, its a good message for this book theme).

"Skyscraper"

[Verse 1:]

Skies are crying,

I am watching

Catching tear drops in my hands

Only silence as it's ending

Like we never had a chance

Do you have to make me feel like

There's nothing left of me?

[Chorus:]

You can take everything I have

You can break everything I am

Like I'm made of glass

Like I'm made of paper

Go on and try to tear me down

I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper

Like a skyscraper

[Verse 2:]

As the smoke clears,

I awaken

And untangle you from me

Would it make you feel better

To watch me while I bleed?

All my windows still are broken

But I'm standing on my feet

[Chorus:]

You can take everything I have

You can break everything I am

Like I'm made of glass

Like I'm made of paper

Go on and try to tear me down

I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper

Like a skyscraper

[Bridge:]

Go run, run, run

I'm gonna stay right here,

Watch you disappear

Yeah, oh

Go run, run, run

Yeah, it's a long way down

But I am closer to the clouds up here

[Chorus:]

You can take everything I have
