Jessie was pregnant when she was 16. Jessica adopted two girls when she was 18. This is the story of them raising their kids. (If you didn't read my other book Alive you might be confused)
After Jessica adopted me and Lilly we went shopping. Lilly already calls her mommy but it's going to be a while before I call her mom.
Jessica bought her own house so that me and Lilly wouldn't have to share a room.
I got the second biggest room. Jessica even got me an IPhone.

I called my friend Cassidy. I was so happy that I got a phone.
"Yeah I couldn't believe it either. I'm so f***ing happy." I was talking about my phone.
Kelsie heard me and yelled the f word.
"What did you say?" Jessie asked. There wouldn't be a problem if they didn't come over.
Kelsie screamed it again.
Jessica came in. "Where did you hear that?" Jessie asked.
She pointed her finger at me.
"Chloe go to your room!" Jessica yelled at me.
"You're not my mom I don't have to listen to you!" I yelled back. I walked in my room and slammed the door.
Jessica followed me upstairs. "I am your mom now." she said calmly.
"No you're nothing like my mom she didn't love me or Lilly." I said starting to cry.
"Honey your mom loved you." Jessica said.
"No she didn't of she did I wouldn't have had to be in an orphanage for 4 years!" I yelled.
"You're mom put you there because she loved you." She said.
"No she loved my dad more. All I knew was my dad didn't like me or Lilly. He wanted us gone! I woke up in the hospital next to Lilly when I was 9 and she was 1. I couldn't remember why we were there! I couldn't remember anything! Then next thing I know I'm at the orphanage!" I was crying.
"Honey it was for your own good look." Jessica said and handed me a note.
Thank you for giving my two little girls a normal life. I really am going to miss them. I put them up for adoption for their own good. My husband beat them. I can't give them the life they want at home. I'm going to turn my husband in but I can't turn him in with them. I'm trying to leave him but if he catches me I could be beaten. I don't want them to be beaten. If I can get away from him I'm calling the cops. Neither one of them remember him beating them because he beat them so hard one day. They forgot everything from before. Tell them when you think they're ready to know. But thank you for giving them a normal life. (My name is Carol)
My mom did love me. And I've been so mad at her but I didn't have to be.
"See she loved you." Jessica said.
"Yeah. Can I have a hug?" I asked.
"Yeah." she said. We hugged and then went downstairs.
