Life in a Hell Hole

 AN: The song is "Starts with Goodbye" by Carrie Underwood. I do not own the song or pretend to, it is merely there for enjoyment.

Elizabeth's pov

Hi........my name is Elizabeth Watson and I am 15 years old. I have bright red hair with sky blue eyes and I am 5'4". When I was 10 years old my parents were taking me to a friends house so they could go shopping. Suddenly another car drove in front of us and we crashed into a tree. I survived the crash but my mom and dad died. Ever since the crash I have been in an orphanage and I hate it.

I was upstairs looking at my song book and decided to sing one of  the millions songs that I have. I grabbed out my blue and black acoustic guitar and started to sing along with it.

  I was sitting on my doorstep
I hung up the phone and it fell out of my hand
But I knew I had to do it
And he wouldn't understand

So hard to see myself without him
I felt a piece of my heart break
But when you're standing at a crossroad
There's a choice you gotta make

I guess it's gonna have to hurt
I guess I'm gonna have to cry
And let go of some things I've loved
To get to the other side

[Chorus]
I guess it's gonna break me down
Like fallin' when I'm try to fly
It's sad but sometimes
Moving on with the rest of your life
Starts with goodbye

I know there's a blue horizon
Somewhere up ahead, just waiting for me
Getting there means leaving things behind
Sometimes life's so bitter sweet

I guess it's gonna have to hurt
I guess I'm gonna have to cry
And let go of some things I've loved
To get to the other side

[Chorus]

Time heals the wounds that you feel
Somehow, right now

I guess it's gonna have to hurt
I guess I'm gonna have to cry
And let go of some things I've loved
To get to the other side

[Chorus]

I guess I'm gonna have to cry
And let go of some things I've loved
To get to the other side

Start with goodbye
Like fallin' when you try to fly
It's sad but sometimes
Moving on with the rest of your life
Starts with goodbye 

I finished singing and just after I put my guitar away I heard Mrs. Kanebridge say, "ELIZABETH GET DOWN HERE NOW!"

I sighed, "Yes ma'am." Then I dashed down the stairs. I got to the bottom of the stairs and went to her office. Knocking on the door before I entered, "What do you need Mrs. Kanebridge?" I asked.

She glared at me and said "Katie and the girls want lunch. Go make it." Doing my best not to scream, I headed to the kitchen. I stopped in the living where Katie and the girls were and said, "Um....Katie what do you want for lunch?"

"Mini ravioli. Obviously." Katie said with a snarl.

I walked over to the pantry and grabbed two cans of mini ravioli's and then grabbed a pot to cook them. I got a tray out from the cupboard and placed 10 bowls on it. I turned the stove off and took a serving spoon so I could serve lunch to the girls and Mrs. Kanebridge.

I walked into the living room and saw the girls in their same spots on the couch and love seat. "Girls lunch is ready" I said. After I finished serving the nine girls I went to Mrs. Kanebridge's office to giver her the last bowl.

I knocked on the door as I walked in and said, "Mrs. Kanebridge I brought you some lunch." She looked up from her desk and said "what is it?" Se asked. I said, "Mini ravioli. Katie said that it's your favorite"

Mrs. Kanebridge got up and walked over to me with a grin on her face. She dipped her finger into the sauce to see how hot it was and said "good cooked to the right temperature too. You are learning." I placed the bowl down and asked before I left the room, "I s there anything else you need?"

"No dear. But I need the girls dressed and ready tomorrow for the adoption. Got it?"  She said sternly. I looked at her and said "Yes ma'am. Crystal." I went upstairs and back to my room to take a nap but just before I got the top of the stairwell I heard a crash come from the living room so I ran downstairs to find a bowl shattered on the ground.

Mrs. Kanebridge came running in and asked, "What happened?" Katie looked at me and said "I am so sorry Elizabeth I thought I had pushed my bowl back far enough from the edge of the table but I guess I didn't."

"It's okay. Is everyone okay?" I asked with full concern. Katie looked around and said "no we are all okay." I ran to get the broom and when I came back I started sweeping up the broken glass.

~3 hours later~

I was upstairs reading gone with the wind when I heard the phone ring so I went downstairs and answered it. "hello?" I said as I was walking to Mrs. Kanebridge's office. "I am looking for a Maya Kanebridge. can I speak to her?" The voice said.

I knocked on the open door and said as I held the phone out, "Mrs. Kanebridge it's for you." I left the room and went upstairs to go to bed since it was almost 9:30 and that was curfew. I changed into my pajamas and brushed my teeth. I went back to my room and put my book away. As soon as I had my book back on it's self I went to my light and turned it off. I climbed into bed and as soon as my head hit my pillow I was out like a light.
