What happened?

Lauren - Japan

I thought everything was just a nightmare. I woke up, screaming for my Mom and Dad. I thought that I laid in my bed and nothing of that happened... Until I noticed that people rushed around and that wasn't my room. Suddenly, my throat started hurting and the sweat rolled down my face. It wasn't just a dream... It really happened..

I wondered where I have been... And I also noticed that my head hurt like crazy and my arm had been broken. Breathing got harder...

I really hoped to see my family around me.. Maybe they would just walk by the next moment... But they didn't and I couldn't see them at all. I cried for hours... Days passed and I still didn't received any sign that my family was alive.

So, what happened when I fully recovered? I was taken to an orphanage because I was underage.. I couldn't even talk to the other kids because they talked Japanese and I talk English... They reminded me so hard on my siblings.
