Grace's P.O.V
Its the day. I'm finally 16. My parents will be happy. This means that it will just be me and everleigh now. My parents are leaving. They've hated me since I was 5 when I started to actually needed things and they've hated ev since she was 2.

So they've been waiting for me to be 16 for 11 years so they can leave and it not to be illegal and they didn't put us up for adoption because even though they hated us they 1. Wanted us to have an orite life and 2. They hate paperwork.

Everleigh is my little sister but I'm am now and practically always have been her legal guardian. But now it's legal.

At least now I own a big house, a big garden and now a Land Rover.

It's weird thinking that this is now legally my house. I own it. All to myself. Well myself and everleigh. You might be thinking well how do I have the money to pay for food and that well the government gives me about $100 to me for me and then $150 to me for buying Ev and me food and things like that and then I have a little job on Saturday and Sunday afternoons at kavelskis which earns me $75 a week. You might think that's a lot but because it's the weekend there is so many customers especially at lunch.

Once I get to her room I quietly say "ev it's time to wake up." That normally works but it didn't so I gracefully gave her a little shake and then she wakes up straight away.

"Morning grace." She says.

"Morning Ev, What would you like for breakfast?" I ask her.

"It's your birthday so ... let's go to kavelskis dinner." She says with an emphasis on your.

"Okay then what do you want to wear then, pick out an outfit."

She then reached for an outfit from kohls.

I get her changed into it and put her hair into double Dutch braids then I get changed into
