Chapter 9-Sleepover Wars pt 4-

Lin's POV

I wake up around 6 in the morning which is kinda early for me.

I text Jessie, hoping she's up.

Good morning Niñita. How was your night with Pippa?

I get a response.

It was good. Good morning Old Man Miranda.

Haha very funny Niña. What did you do? Seriously tell me.

Well I learned some things about the cast. Haha.

I text her back.

Oooh. What'd ya learn?

She responds.

I can't. Its confidential. Sorry.

I sigh.

Tell me I'm your dad. Tell me.

I get another response.

Lin, it's Pippa now. It's confidential. Sorry.

I text back.

Why not? I'm awesome.

I get yet another response.

Lin, I'm going to make breakfast now. See you at the theater. Bye

I write a goodbye and get started on a breakfast.

"Hey." I greet Vanessa as she walks into kitchen.

"Hey." She says and kisses me on the cheek. "What are you making?"

"I actual don't know. I grabbed eggs, beans and bread. Don't ask." I tell her. "Actually! I have an AWESOME idea!"

"What is it?" Vanessa yawns.

"Have toast, put an egg on it, and then put beans on top of it all. Maybe have some cheese."

"That sounds really good actually. Good idea." Vanessa said before we heard Seb calling for us. "I'll be right back."

I sigh and continue making breakfast.

Soon enough breakfast is done and I go into Jessie's room to get her clothes.

"What would Jessie wear.... Hmm." I ask myself and grab a sweater and pair of leggings. "Hmmm. This is good."

I sit on Jessie's bed and looked around. As I look around I see a book under her pillow.

I open it and realize it's her diary. "Well she is my daughter. I guess a few looks wouldn't hurt."

April 27th, 2009: Dear diary. Mommy hasn't come to get me yet but I know she will. I'm happy that evil man I had to call my daddy is gone. He hurt me a lot. The boo boos got bigger everyday and they hurt. Ms Becky saw the one on my arm and that's when Mommy couldn't see me anymore. I'm with people I don't know and I'm scared. I don't know what's happening and it's all scary. -Jessie

A single tear falls down my face. I flip over 50 pages in the book.

June 6th, 2011. Dear diary. Today a couple came to see me and maybe adopt me but they didn't. They took Cassidy instead. They said that my background was too harsh and I was too much to take care of. I've been doing well in school but all I want is to have a family of my own. I still see mommy and daddy in my dreams but they're all blurry. All I have is one picture of them. Ms Sadie said that it's ok if that family didn't take me and that another one would. This is the 47th family to meet me in 2 years. I'm only 8. I don't see the problem. -Jessie.
