Verging

Chapter 2

After receiving the news I was leaving the orphanage, I was still in shock. I was a little glad I was finally going to have a family, but I was afraid I would ruin the happiness I've dreamt of for years with my sour attitude. I packed my clothes. Under my pillow I had a doll, she was old and raggedy. She was always there for me, she was my heart. The nuns said that when I was put in the orphanage when I was 6 months old I had that doll and I never let it go. She was the only thing I really loved. When I ended packing I saw the shiny blade under my mattress. I grabbed it and placed it in the palm of my hand. This was the object that could've taken everything away, all the pain and emptiness. I couldn't just leave it behind. It held wether I were to even have a future. I unzipped my cosmetic bag and placed it on the bottom of all those cosmetics. Why do I even have one, I never anyone had to impress. I didn't even say goodbye to anyone except the nuns. After they wished me luck and told me to come and visit in the future I walked out exhaling a deep breathe I didn't know I had been holding in. After Ben grabbed my bag and put in the back, we started driving off into my new world. My new home, did I even have siblings ? Oh I hope not I wasn't very good with little children, but what if I had an older sister or an older brother. I guess I did have a little emotion in me because I'm excited about all of this. Interrupting my thoughts Jennifer asked, "So Madeleine tell us about you." I thought of what to say for a while and said, "There isn't much to know about me I'm a girl that likes everything in the color black." both Jennifer and Ben looked at glanced at eachother and Jennifer said, "Well in that case we will go shopping and buy whatever you want, but you have to promise me you'll buy some color." I had barely met the people and now I'm making promises. Without thinking I answered, "Okay Jennifer"

      We drove into a Giant house maybe even a mansion. I couldn't dare to ask if this was my new home, I just had to wait to see. When we parked we walked into the mansion, everyone all the workers greeted me with a smile. Jenniffer than showed me to my room. "Shall we go upstairs to your room?" She asked. "Sure" I said not expecting anymore luxury.
