Saving Clara-Grace

First Words.

I woke up and stretched in bed.

"Ugh its so bright" I muttered. I looked around to see that everyone was gone and the girls' beds were made.

Where is everyone? Hm.

I must have slept in.

I feel. Sore and drained. Ugh.

Maybe I should get up, maybe have a bit of breakfast aswell just so Lily dosen't get suspicious.

I pulled myself out of the bed and felt my feet touch the cold, hard wood. I walked over to my dresser and pulled out just some simple jeans and a plain longsleeved shirt.

When I got in the girls bathroom I got changed into my shirt without a worry, but once I went to put my jeans on I saw that they had a huge whole in them. What?! How the did that get there!? Ugh! Grest my only pair of pants without a whole now have a whole in them.

I stormed out of the bathroom and downstairs to the kitchen. Lily was there. As soon as she spotted me she came right up to me.

"Oh Clara! Your awake and ready! Thats great! Now I don't need to go get you up and looking well." She said cheerfully. Why did I need to be 'ready and looking well?' Oh whatever.

She walked into the room where all the dining tables are, so I followed her and we took a seat at a small table at the back for two people.

"So Clara, did you have a good night sleep?" I nod, yes.

"What time did you go to bed last night?" Why would she ask me that I only answer yes or n--- Hang on. She is trying to get me to speak. She always tries this.

I gave her the look of 'I know what your trying to do' and she completely shut it off. I really want to talk! I want to be able to have a normal conversation with her. Should I try? I mean it wouldn't hurt, would it?

"Lily." I say, but it just comes out as a whisper.

"Ye-- What did you just, just talk?"

"Yes." I reply.

"Oh my god, Clara! I'm so proud of you darling! Oh! Congratulations Clara!" She stood up and pulled me into a giant hug and started crying. Well that went better then I thought.

"What made you want to start talking?" She questioned, giving me a sweet look.

"Well, I thought. I can't stay silent forever, can I? So I thought speaking now would help. To be honest I was getting quiet sick of nodding my head." I replied in honesty.

"Oh Clara! I'm absoloutly proud of you. I hope you know, I will always be here for you." She said glancing at my wrist.

"You--you know? I'm sorry. I, uhh. Thankyou. How long did you know?" I asked and stuttered nervously.

"Ever since you came here. Clara, you can see it in your eyes and I have seen the scars so many times. I just hope you know I love you and that you should never have to did that."

Yeah, well it isn't that easy Lily.

"Uhh Okay." I replied.

"Oh and we have some guests coming in today."

"And who may they be?" I asked.

"Ahh I'm not supposed to tell you."

"Oh come on, Lily. Tell me."

"Okay. It's One Direction."

"Oh them? Them cute ones?"

"Yeah, them cute ones. Dont flip out when they get here."

"Trust me I won't. I like there music and there style but I'm not a fan."

"Okay. Oh looks like breakfast is here." She says as our breakfast gets brang over.

I take look at what food is on the plate and its just simple oatmeal. Surely I can eat that and not get fat?

I take a spoonful of the oatmeal and I already feel sick. I swalloed it and pretended that I enjoyed it.

"Mm this is nice, but I need to pee."

"Okay Clara, haha." Lily laughed.

I went up stairs and into the girls bathroom and threw up everything I swallowed.

Ugh. After that I went and brushed my teeth and went back downststairs to see every girl in the orphanage lined up from youngest to oldest. I stood at the end near the other 13 year olds and stood quiet and still.

I really do not want to be adopted by these boys. Only god knows what they will do to me..
