Belle woke up very tired.

All last night she had tossed and turned in bed.

It was her last day at the mental ward... And she was kind of sad to be leaving. She was also kind of scared, where was she going to go? Did she have any family left?

Belle's grandparents were dead, her dad's brother and sister where in Canada and all her cousins were grown up and in America.

Belle glanced at my wrists. The cuts were almost healed. They were only visible if you peered really closely.

Her long blonde hair was very tangled and she had bad case of split ends. Her Mum used to wash her hair with her special shampoo. She would massage Belle's hair and sing to her. Belle loved it.

She jumped out of bed and walked towards her backpack. She opened up the back secret pocket that held the picture frame that her parents had given Belle for her birthday.

She started to get emotional.

Her eyes were glazed over as she looked behind around. Belle imagined her mum standing right there with dad cradling her and saying,

"I'm so proud of you Belle."

Suddenly there was a knock on my door, and a nurse came straight in.

"Hello Belle!" She said with joy.

"Arrr... Hi?" Belle said pathetically

"So Belle, today we have to take you to.....a court."

"What?..." She puzzled. Belle was so confused.

"We need to find you a home. A very nice couple are willing to adopt you. They are lovely people! Or.. You will have to go to a foster home, and live with other children like you." The nurse explained.

A shiver was sent down Belle's spine.

With that she lead Belle out of her room and to the entrance of the mental ward.

"Hey Belle!" Andi called "Wait up!"

"Oh my gosh Andi! I am going to miss you so much!" Belle answered.

"Same. That's why I got you this." Andi said as she handed Belle a necklace. "Open it!"

Belle opened up the necklace and inside was a beautiful photo of Andi and her.

"Thanks you so much! I love this!" Belle exclaimed "I'm going to miss you!"

"Same."

After hugging and saying goodbye it was time to go.

"Here, put these on." The nurse said as she handed Belle a pair of brown sunglasses. Belle did as she was told and put them on, even though she had no idea why...

Belle was like a vampire. She hadn't seen the sun for 2 weeks! She was excited to see a bright light of sun.

When she stepped outside there was a bunch of bright flashes.

But they weren't from the sun.

A group of paparazzi were flashing there cameras at Belle and stuffing microphones in her face.

"Belle, how do you feel about all this?"

"How are you dealing with loss of your parents?"

"Have you recovered from the plane crash?"

It was all a blur to Belle. She didn't know these people. How did they know about her story? The nurse ushered Belle into a big black car and shut the door with dark tinted windows.

The nurse reached into her handbag unrolled a collection of newspapers and magazines.

"Your story went viral."

Belle mouth was wide open. She was shocked. Belle didn't want to cry. It seemed like her life was depressing. She didn't want to be famous for this!

The car pulled up to the court and Belle was escorted inside.

Belle was shocked by the court. It was huge.

As she entered the court the jury gave her some dirty looks. To them she was just the ungrateful suicidal girl.

Belle was very nervous.

As if reading her mind the nurse said, "Don't be nervous. It'll be fine.

"Order in the court!" The judge yelled.

Belle turned around and faced the judge. Out the corner of her eye she saw the couple who wanted to adopt her. They were dressed in bright colours and looked friendly.

The foster home owners looked like they didn't want Belle. They were dressed in black and had a mean look on there faces.

Both couples said there part and everyone thought that the friendly couple who wanted

to adopt Belle were the best for her.... Everyone but the judge that is.

The judge banged her mallet.

Belle Ashman shall be living in the Hilda and Barry Foster Home.

It was silent.

Everyone looked upset about the decision.... Including the foster home couple.

"Wh...why?" Belle whispered into the nurses ear as they hugged passionately.

"Why does this have to happen to me?" Belle continued.

"Don't worry sweetheart, everything happens for a reason." The nurse assured

And boy she was right.
