~Taylor's pov~
Isabella's dad still hasent come back an we all are getting to be worried he was supposed to be back two weeks ago. Today we are all at my house watching tv and doing homework, a breaking news report comes on making me jump a little and we all look up to see what it's about.

" breaking news a huge car crash last night as a Simi swerved onto the other side of the street and hit a car head on,and another Simi that was behind the car crashing to,plus another car and a van hitting the side of the trailer on the Simi. The guy in the car was killed but no one else was majorly hurt." They lady on the tv reported

we all stare at the tv at the tv in silence ,while the lady keeps talking, trying to see if it was anyone's car that we new, Isabella figured it out first.

~Austin's pov~

"Wait" Isabella said squinting at the tv, then she stopped and stared at the tv with wide eyes like she had just heard the most terrifying news ever.

"Whats wrong isab-" but before I could finish the lady on the tv said something that froze everyone

"The man who died in the car was tom flower he was in the hospital for 1 hour before his lunges collapsed and he's heart stopped 6min after"

Every one in the room stared at the tv in shock

~Isabella's pov~

Tom flower the name kept coming back to my mind, I just couldn't put it all together "that's my dad "
The words came out before I could think it , everyone turned and looked at me, but I didn't move I didn't do anything I just stared at the tv hating that reporter lady but I didn't know why she didn't even do anything but her job but I still hated her. We all sat in silence for minuets until karlee walks up to me and puts her hand on my shoulder      " are you ok" She asked calmly, but I didn't know the answer , I had for gotten how to speak, I'd forgotten how to move  
"what happens next" Austin askes with a sad look
"I don't know" I say"I....don't....know

----
Stuff like this doesn't really faze me like when my mom died of cancer I dident cry or do anything I said my prayers for them and went on with life but Austin's question kept coming back in my mind 'what happens next' were will I go what will I do but I just pushed that aside.

Three weeks later me and Taylor coming home from school when we went in the door there was a women ,that looked about twenty or thirty years old,sitting on the couch talking to Taylor's parents. When we come in they look up at us and the woman smiles and gets up.
"Hi I'm rose" she says shaking our hands
"Hi?" Me and Taylor say at the same time
"I'm from the adoption center, since you have no parents and there is no one else that we know of in you family capable of taking you in you will be staying here until I find you a foster home" she says and smiles
I don't say any thing I just star at her in surprise for a while, I dident know this was going to happen I thought I would live with Taylor and her parents would adopt me and we would be sisters and it woul be in fo those...perfect........fantasies with a happy ending"oh " is all I can manage to say.
"Perfect all I need to do is ask you some questions to help me find you the perfect foster parents"she says and flashes me another smile

"Ok "I say wheeling into Taylor's room with her following "you can sit on the bed " I say pointing at Taylor's bed

She sits Down and begins talking"age"
"14"
She begins writing
"Do you have any hobbies or play any sports"
"Not anymore obviously "i say annoyed she would ask such a stupid question
"Right your legs sorry"she says "how about horses? Do you ride?"
"I've rode a couple times, it's my favorite animal"
She writes for what seems like forever then she finally gets and says"ok that's all I need for today" shay sakes my hand smiles and walks out.

Five minutes later Taylor walks in with dinner" here you go" she says handing me a plate
"Thanks"
"No problem"
"So how you feeling about getting adopted"
"Well I would have a new family I think that would be cool but I would miss you if I had to move far away"
"Ya I would miss you to , r u going to tell them tomorrow when they come over"
"Ya I guess"

----
The next day karlee , Nichole , Austin , and Taylor are siting in Taylor's bedroom staring at me waiting for me to give them the bad news.
" ok guys well idk how to tell you this but......" I told them the story about the lady and they started to look really sad then I thought I lose my legs and my dad, and now I'm going to lose my friends, and I'm forced to get new parents and friends.
