Chapter 2: the day everything changes for good or bad
~the morning.
I yawn as I look at my alarm clock, 6:30am. Aghh, I seriously hate getting up early in the mornings. I push my blanket off of me and walk into my wardrobe and grab my plaid blue and green t-shirt and blue denim shorts and white runners. I put on my clothes and walk into the bathroom.
My hair looks like and bees nest hit it, I grab my hair brush and start to brush the knots. After brushing my hair I walk into the kitchen grabbing some bread and putting it into the toaster. As I wait for my toast I hear mum and dad packing the van with tomatoes, apples, and apple juice.
My toast pops out scaring me, I grab the toast and put it onto to the plate.
I walk over to the fridge and grab out the butter and juice and walk back to the toast. I put down the juice and the butter and go to the cupboard and grab out the vegemite. I then walk back to my toast and grab the knife and started spreading the butter and vegemite. I walk over to the table and start eating breakfast.
Dads face came into view as I finish my breakfast “Come on, kiddo time to leave to the market otherwise we will be late” dad says his brown hair getting into his ocean eyes. I walk with dad back into to the van and hop into to the backseats that we made. Mum and start talking about the farmers market as I drowse off not really paying attention.
Until the van jerks off the side of the road, I hear mum scream and dad yell trying to get back onto to the road but he was too late. I scream as the van rolls over once, twice. Glass fly’s out and hits mum and dad. I scream as I look in horror as my two loving parents die right in front of me as I start to pass out.
~at the hospital next morning.
I start to wake up hearing beeping noises, wait did my parents really die or was it just a dream, I swear it felt so life like. I hear some hushed whispers that aren’t very familiar. I keep my eyes closed as I listen “…her parents didn’t survive the crash, but I’m sure when she wakes up she will be able to tell you what happened” says a soft voice. No my parents can’t be dead, why did my parents have to die.
I open my eyes and look around the room all I see is small room with white everywhere, and beeping machines on the right of the hospital bed. I start to cry remembering how my parents died.
As I cry I hear the door open and to see I nice nurse, a police officer, and a person from the adoption agency. The nurse comes over to me, I look up to the pretty nurse with short blonde hair and warm brown eyes. “Hey, sweetheart its ok” the pretty nurse says. I stop crying and instantly feel calm from her presence.
The police officer then walks over to my left side of the bed, as the nurse sits down on the right side of my bed and holds my hand. “Sweetheart do you have any other family you could be staying with?” the pretty nurse asks and I shake my head. I only had my parents and now that their gone I have no one. The police officer has shaggy brown hair down to his shoulders and light blue eyes. He hands me a small box “This is what we found in the glove box of the van it’s all that remains from the van” he says sadly. The police officer then walks out of the room. The person from the adoption agency walks up to my bed and stops at the end of the bed. She has long black hair with amber eyes on her skin there is a few wrinkles here and there. “ I have sent someone to get your stuff from your house and for it to be sent to the room you will be staying in at the sunshine adoption agency, we will be leaving in ten minutes” she starts to walk away and then pauses “Oh, by the way my name is Amber” and then she struts away.
The pretty nurse gets up from her place from my bed “Your clothes are over there by the table” she points to the left of the door and walks out leaving me alone.
I sigh and put the small box down and get up from the bed moving my stiff muscles, I walk over to the corner and grab the clothes off from the table and get changed into them. I look at my arms and legs to see that I indeed have a few cuts from the crash.
I grab the small box and walk down the hallway to where Amber is standing waiting for me with a smile on her face. “Come on, Andie we are leaving now”
We hop into to the car as I clutch onto to the last thing that was my parents as Amber drives us to the agency.
~ 1 hour later and no talking.
I walk out of the car as it stops still clutching onto the box as both me and Amber walk into the agency. Plain building, Amber takes me into a room that has yellow walls. Amber leaves me to myself, there is a single bed on the right side and bedside table and a big window on the left side.
I sit on the bed and open the box. It has a photo of boy who looks to be around seventeen to eighteen he has light brown wavy hair and ocean blue eyes that looks like dads. I turn over the photo and see written in dad’s handwriting:
To Andie and Kathryn,
Whatever happens I want you to know that I did have another kid before I met you Kathryn and I'm very sorry I didn’t tell you or Andie. So if you find this I want you to tell Marcus that I love him just like I love you Andie. I left him at my old house because I just couldn’t look after him I have given him money each year that is enough for him to live off.
I'm sorry I betrayed you both. I hope you two can ever forgive me.
Love William (Dad)
I look at the picture in shock, I grab a backpack that must have been sent into the room before I got here. I put a spare pair of clothing, water bottle, and food found in the kitchen. Still holding onto the picture, I walk over to the window and open it. Backpack on my back and photo in hand I jump out of the window and start walking to dads old house which conveniently is half an hour walk from here.
~25mins of walking.
I see the house now, I walk up the driveway tired from all of the walking. I knock on the door three times hoping Marcus is there. I hear footsteps approaching the door. The door opens to reveal a tired Marcus, “umm hello my name is Andie Smith, and my dad wanted to me to give this to you” I hand over the picture to him. I watch as Marcus's eyes widen in shock and looks over to me “Your my half-sister” he mumbles to himself.
I start to feel a little dizzy from the cuts that have recently opened from the walk, and the heat isn’t helping. I start to fall onto the porch but Marcus catches me before I fall. He picks me up and takes me into his house and lays me on the couch in his house. Before I go unconscious Marcus hugs me and says “I will look after you now, we can be a proper family now”. I smile in my sleep I have a brother that will care for me instead of someone adopting me.
