As I walk through the door, everybody comes rushing up to me. Wide smiles on their face. The opposite of mine.
"Ebony! dear, come with me! we have some great news" A loud inhumanly growl escapes my lips, annoyance radiating off of me but i follow anyway.
We walk through doors and rooms until we get to the office. As i push open the old wooden door, i see three people sitting in the seats across from the desk.
A man, a lady and a girl that looks a bit older than me. They seem nice. But i still don't want this. I want to be free. No parents to tell me what to do. When i am old enough to leave this place, i wont need permission to leave home. I will be able to make my own decisions. But none of that will happen if these people adopt me.
"Hi! you must me Ebony! I'm Anne, this is Robin and this is Gemma! you also will have a Brother called Harry but he couldn't make it. So yes! were going to be your new parents!" The mention of the name Harry gives me the shivers. But it cant be Harry, as in Harry Styles. Pfft nah, there's tons of Harry's out there. Right?...
"Hey" I give an awkward smile.
"....So, have you signed the paperwork?" I silently thank mother Mary for breaking the awkward silence.
"Yes! all done. Now when do you think we could take her home with us? were super excited!" Her overly happy persona is already annoying me and I've known her for less then a minute. I cant wait to go to live with them! Note the sarcasm.
"Well.. you can take her home with you now if you like!" No, no, no, no, no, no! I don't know anything about them! They could be murderers for all i know! or they could be scientists wanting to do tests on me or something. Ok I'm probably over reacting but still! The only thing i know about them are their names.
"B-but i still need to pack-"
"Oh don't worry about that sweetheart, the other girls have already packed for you" I don't know what I'm most angry at, the fact that people looked at and touched my things, or the fact that i don't get any say in this what so ever.
"....Well dear! get your things, and make it quick!" A scowl takes over my face. I trudge up the tall stairs, other girls looking at me questioningly. But i just keep my head straight ahead, not meeting their eyes.
As i walk into the room, Grace jumps out at me and brings me into a tight hug. I try to hug back but its a bit hard when i cant breathe.
We both start crying, our shirts now wet. I'm going to miss her so much. I know we will see each other all the time at school but its just not the same. Who's going to walk down the stairs with me to dinner? who's going to help me in the morning before school? who's going to help me with homework? Who's going to wake me up when i have a bad dream? She always wakes me just before the worst part, now i fear that without her. I will not be able to handle the memories, The horrid memories, no little girl should have to witness.
"i'll see you tomorrow?" A silent tear falls down her face
"Yep, ill see you tomorrow buddy ol pal" We giggle, then break away from the comforting hug. I pick up my bags and start walking- Waddling, down the stairs. Nearly falling over three times, I'm finally at the bottom. And by the looks of it, so is Anne, Gemma and Ron-Rob?, Robin? yea... I'll have to remember that.
"Lets go!" Anne squeaks. Ugh does she always talk like that?
As we walk down the hall, many girls gather and wave, some of the little ones hugging my side. I will miss this. When we reach the door i turn around
"Bye everyone!" I wave
"BYE EBONY" Everyone yells which makes a small smile play at my lips, despite the reason why their saying good bye.
I close the door. My eyes start to water. No, i will not cry. Well, again. But definitely not in front of my new 'family'.
***
After a five minute drive, we pull up to a huge old two story house, almost castle like, with a path leading to the front porch, the path being trees
I stare in awe, mouth agape.
Well then, i guess this is my new home..
(Sorry its short, and sorry for the late update. School just started..ew. So how did you like this chapter?)
