Why me?

🔸Grace's P.O.V🔸

"Wake up. Wake up!" I shout jumping on Patty's bed.

"Grace..." Patricia finally mumbles and covers her face with a pillow. "Shut the fųck up" she adds. Rude.

Did you really think that would stop me? Pffft...you wish.

I just ignore her and start to shout even louder.

Patty puts her pillow back in it's place and rolls her eyes. "Can you stop acting like a five-year old?"

"Nah, not happening anytime soon"I snap."Wake up. Wake up!" I start to shout again.

"Just stop already, I woke up like five minutes ago" Patricia says angrily and sits down on her bed.

What's up with her today? Patty has never been a sunshine but today she's a freaking beast.

"I know." I finally answer and giggle.

"So why the hell are you shouting like a pig that is being sliced in half?"She screams.

Ew. Gross. That makes me wanna throw up or become vegetarian.

"I was bored" I say simply. "Do you know what day is today?" I ask suddenly as I see her brown eyes fill up with a pure anger.

"Your being super childish day?" The beast finally smiles showing her braces."Oh, wait. That's everyday!" She says and we both burst into laughter. Few moment later I felt how my butt hit the ground "Ouch" I touch one of my buttcheeks and we start laughing even more.

"It's my adoption day" I whisper when we both calm down."They will take me today"I add with a small tear dripping down my face.

Patricia's eyes widen and her smile disappears as she remembers "No fųcking way!" Patty shouts and pulls me into a tight hug."No. No. No. They can't take you today" She starts to cry "Just not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever. I need you, Grace. I don't want to loose you too." She starts to cry even more as she remembers her parents who died in the car crash few years ago.

"You won't. You won't loose me, okay?" I sob and tighten our hug. "I'll be just fine." I whisper as more tears slide down my cheeks. "We will call each other everyday, I promise" I smile.

"Okay" that's all she says and we both sit in the pleasant silence.

"I'll miss you." I whisper.

"I will miss you too" Patricia says quietly. "It's time. You have to go now" she tells and pulls away from our hug.

"I know" I answer with my eyes still closed. "But I don't want to" I mumble.

**********

"Rosewood is not that far. It's in California, right?" Asks Patty when we go to meet my adoptive family.

"Yeah. And we are in London! So it's very freaking far!"

"What does it feel like to grow up in the place like this?" She asks out of nowhere.

"Trust me you were so lucky to have a family even if it's only for fourteen years" I laugh.

I've always been so jealous that she had a family. When I was little my only dream was to have it...but now when I finally have it...I don't want it anymore. Now Patty is my family.

"Earth is calling" She knocks me out of my mind.

"Grace Marie Martin" I hear low, angry voice that I've heard every single day of my life behind me and we both turn around. "You are late!" Old woman shouts as she takes my hand and drags me through the hallway .

"Mrs. Ryder, please let me go" I say while I'm trying to stay calm."It hurts"

She ignores me and keeps dragging like a some kind of bag.

"Let me go!" I shout as I loose my patience and rip my wrist out of her cold hands.

She was about to hit me when a couple appeared in the hallway.

This witch abused me since childhood. I hope that she dies until she dares to touch any of these kids when I'm gone.

"Don't you even dare to touch my daughter!" Protects me Hayley Martin, my new mother and I chuckle evilly when I hear a slap.

I smile and whisper "Thanks.".

"Your welcome, darling." She says and smiles back. "Nobody deserves to be treated like this."

"Fųck you all!" finally mumbles Mrs. Ryder.

"Oh shut up!" We all snap and Patricia and I burst into laughter.

"It's time to go." says Julien, Hayley's husband and I stop laughing "Say goodbye to your friend"

"Grace..."mumbles Patty and I pull her into a tight hug. "Goodbye"

"Lets not say goodbye and say see you later instead" I whisper as one tear slides down myself cheek.

"Okay" She smiles trough the tears "See you later then"

"See you later, Patricia"I say and pull myself away.

*********

"Don't forget to call me!" Patty shouts as I walk to the car.

"I promised!" I answer.

"And Grace... Don't stop to be childish!"

I smile and turn to look back at her "Trust me... I won't."

I look at the small grey building and a sign which says orphanage one last time and sit in the car with a little smile and few tears on my face.

Tomorrow is a new page. With home, school and most importantly...a family. I don't know what is going to happen tomorrow but I know that it will be different. I will different.
