**MIAS POV**

I can't believe it. Today is the day. Today is the day when I move in with my new family, my idols, Joe and Caspar. I still didn't know why they were both adopting me, but I didn't care. I leaped out of bed, even though it was only 5 am.

I did my ordinary morning routine, hair, makeup and clothes, and then un-plug my phone and watch YouTube.

When we are finally called down for breakfast, I gobble it all up quickly and go back up to my room.

***A WHILE LATER***

I had been waiting by the door for ages. I was finally moving out of this dump. I was gonna have a nice house, with a nice room, and the most amazing parents. As soon as I saw the car pul up, I jumped with glee. As soon as they entered the door, I jumped up to hug Joe, but he just pulled away. I went up to Caspar, but he didn't even bother to look at me, so I didn't hug him. I was so confused. They were so happy. Do they not want me anymore? I wanted to cry. I wanted to run away.

I looked at Emma, but she was just casually talking to them. I couldn't hear them, the gazillion thoughts in my head were blocking them out.

Then, I see another girl from the orphanage. Her name is Grace, and she's 9 years old. When Joe and Caspar see her, they go up and give her a hug.
Why did they hug her?
Why didn't they hug me?
Why are they talking to her?
Why didn't they even look at me?
I couldn't take it anymore.
I ran out the door, and onto the street.
I sprint for a good 200 meters, when I stop, and cry. I sit there for over an hour, until I see Joe's car go past, with Grace sitting in the back.
They adopted her.
Instead of me.
After all this time.
It was then I decided to go back to the orphanage, but I walk as slow as possible.

When I get back to the orphanage, there is an old, dodgy looking man, in around his 40s, talking to Emma.

I enter the orphanage, expecting Emma to be smothering me with questions about what the hell I did, but all I see are boxes.
"Mia, this is your new father, Todd. You're moving in today!", Emma said, sounding happy for me. But I was not happy. I thought I was moving in with my two most favorite people in the world, but now I'm going to live with this dodgy fella. I had no say, since I wasn't sixteen, so I didn't have a choice. I got in his old, run-down Honda and drive to his house, with no conversation.

When we finally get there, I run inside to his house, which looks like it hasn't been touched for years. But I am stopped by a strong, fierce grip on my arm. I turn around, to see that it's Todd.
"You ain't goin' nowhere until you  get ya shit out of the f**king car!" He yelled in anger. Without a word, I get my things out of the car, and he stomps around to my room, making the floor shake. Then he goes outside again, without a word. I unload some of my things, before hearing a loud voice.
"Get to the kitchen now ya idiot girl!" It's Todd.
I knew I wouldn't like it here. I knew I would be miserable.
Without hesitating, I scramble into the old crappy kitchen.
"Well go on, clean the shit up!" He said.
I accidentally let all my thoughts pour out of my mouth.
"You think I'm gonna do everything for you? Do you think that I'm going to look after your crappy old house, and still be happy?! I HATE IT HERE!!!"
I then close my eyes, not wanting to see what happens next. I feel a tight grip on the back of my shirt, making me cough as it gets tighter around my throat. I then feel it moving me, then throwing me roughly into a damp, tight cupboard.
"You dare talk to me like that again, you stay in here for your whole life, okay?" He said quietly, but with anger and evil in his voice. Before I reply, he slams the cupboard door.
I hate it here.
I need to get back to the orphanage somehow.

I scream as I jolt upright. I look around, to see that I'm not in darkness, I'm in the safety of my own home. It was the dream. The dream about my past "father". The dream that haunted me every night, ever since the first night I had with Todd, for years. Ever since I found out that Joe and Caspar were adopting me, the dream left me, along with the depression and anxiety that came with my past. I had had 3 other parents, in the six years that I've been an orphan, that all treated me similar to the way Todd did. But ever since Joe and Caspar came into my life, I was happy.

But the weird thing about the dream, was that Joe and Caspar were in it.

Sorry about not posting for a couple days. I've been at a friends house and busy with homework. I was gonna write 2 parts tonight, but it's now really late and I have to be up early tomorrow, so I can't write another. I will try harder to post daily.
Hope you're enjoying so far! If so, let me know by commenting, or voting!
