The Orphan

Memories

 Ellie's POV

I had a pretty good rest that night I got up again and took a shower usually I take a shower in about 5 minutes but this time because of my broken arm it took me to 12 which is pretty long for me. About 20 minutes later and she called us down for dinner. and she made me sit by Alice, I don't know why she did it but I couldn't stand it so I had to fake that I wasn't hungry so I could get excused.

and she saw all the hopefulness in my eyes and she let me go. I didn't feel like going upstairs so I just sat on the stairs. then I heard Luca say he wanted to be excused to and he came and joined me. we talked about my injury and when your Christmas was coming up in a couple weeks. 4 to be exact. ask me some pretty weird questions well I guess they're not weird but I'm not used to it. he asked me what will my goal in life was and I told him he already knew that it was to find my parents and have one Christmas. then an awkward question case I wouldn't think he would ask you this but he asked me who I like. I couldn't tell him I liked him it would just be too weird. but if I did end up having the courage to tell her it would be awesome. if he liked me too.

we had a good talk and 10 minutes later everyone was done and we or send up to bed. we all prayed and went to sleep. I wasn't tired since I had taken a nap in the morning so I stayed awake and ready a letter that I had from my mom. I didn't even know I had a letter until a couple years back and she gave me a letter this is what it said.

dear Ellie, as you know now we are not healthy enough to take care of you I am very sorry I couldn't do this in a better way I didn't have the courage to go up to an orphanage and say here take my daughter but sadly I made the wrong decision I left you on the street I don't know what I was thinking but I think this is best for you. I hope whoever takes care of you will do a better job that I will and you will make friends. One day we might be reunited again. take care and and don't forget even though I didn't care for you I will always love you and you will always be in my heart. from your very regretful mother Julie.

I started to cry, the letter got me every time I couldn't stand it I miss my parents so much even though I never knew them well I didn't know them but I never got to spend time with him because I 8 months I was abandoned. now or later I fell asleep, that night I dreamt of my mom and that we were in the middle of a Christmas parade and they are still two giant Christmas trees. I couldn't see my mom's face or my dad but for some reason I knew they were smiling and I was proud of them. then I woke up.
