~~~~~Jade's POV:~~~~~

I pack my suitcase that is very similar to the one Arianna took with her when she got adopted. This doesn't take long, but I want it to take longer. 

The couple are downstairs, I can hear them talking with Mrs Smith.

I stare at my little bed. My bed that I have used for 13 years. I look around my old room. Everything is so faimiliar to me. And I'm leaving.

I thought I would be excited, but now that I'm actually leaving, I'm very, very sad.

I'm so sad to leave this place that I break down and cry into my hard pillow.

About 10 minutes later, I pull myself together, grab my suitcase and take one last look at my room. "Goodbye," I whisper. Then, I close the door softly and mak my way down the stairs.

The couple greet me with their fake smiles. Those smiles are seriously getting to me. 

"Hello Jade!" says the lady, waving her arm at the man, she continues. "My name is Lynne and this is David."

"They're ready to take you to your new home!" Mrs Smith says.

I just smile. I feel sick inside.

The lady and man walk ahead and Mrs Smith nudges me in the back.

"Go!" she whispers, then adds, "and good luck!"

"Thank you so much Mrs Smith! Thank you for all that you've done for me!" I hug her tight, then let go, pick up my suitcase and run quickly after Lynne and David.

After one last look at the building that was my home for 13 years, I step into the dark green mess of a car that Lynne and David own. Then I close the car door on myself. This is it.

~~~

I've just clicked my seatbelt in when I remember something.

"Please, please! Wait!" I cry. "I forgot my DNA cd by Little Mix! Can I please go back and get it?"

The lady turns around from the passenger seat and smirks at me. 

"Sorry, she says. We're already behind schedule." With that, she clicks her fingers at the man and he starts up the car and drives off without a word. 

I stare out of the back window miserably and watch as my old life moves out of reach and my new life rushes to meet me.

~~~~~Mrs Smith's POV:~~~~~

I walk up to Jade's old bedroom and look around.

I see her cd by Little Mix still standing on the mantelpiece.

"She'll come back for it," I say to myself.

But Jade never comes back.

Ever.
