Ashley Purdy's Adopted Daughter (bvb)

Ashley Purdy's Adoped Daughter (bvb)

As I walked past the seemingly 30-ish looking guy, I took his wallet. There was a small amount of cash and some change in there. I walked down the rest of the dark street and checked the time on my iPod. 7:30PM. Oh well, not like they care about me anyway. Hi, I'm Violet, I'm 13, and Im an orphan at Sunny Valley orphanage. Which, by the way, is not very 'Sunny' at all. I put the guy's wallet in my pocket and walked back to the orphanage. I knocked on the huge doors and pushed the button for the lobby. "Who is it?" asked the person on the other end, most likely Judith "Violet." I stated quickly because I was cold and my jacket's not very thick. "Oh, ok. It's open." I heard the click of the lock and pulled open the door. I walked up the steps trying to avoid the lecture from Judith. But sadly, there was no escaping it. "What were you doing out there this late? You know curfew is 7:00!" "It was only half an hour." I said, talking back.

"You could've gotten hurt, Violet." Oh, NOW she cares? "Because you worry about me?" I said sarcastically "Yes I do! If something happens, IM responsible." "And there it is." I walked up the stairs to my room that I had to share with this girl, Avery. She's not that bad but she's annoying. "Hey, Vi." "Hi." I'm not in the fucking mood to talk right now. "So, what happened with Judith?" Nosy. "Nothing." "It's obviously not nothing." "Can you bother someone else?" I snapped at her. She knows how I am when I'm not in the best mood. I didn't mean to be rude to Avery but I just realized how much I don't matter. 'If something happens, I'm responsible.' Judith's words kept playing back in my mind. 'They don't care, do they?' I thought to myself. Watch, on Tuesday when the guy/girl whose coming to adopt pick one of the preppy girls.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*TUESDAY*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ok, CREEPIEST GUY EVER! He looked like a fucking pedo-bear. I've had bad experiences with people. I've been adopted once and it was HELL. I was still little so I didn't know that what he was doing was wrong. He beat and abused me whenever he got the chance. I actually GLAD I didn't get adopted. And apparently 2 different people are coming to adopt TOMORROW. Oh god... Well I'm bored. I sat in my room alone, while everyone else was at dinner.

According to Judith, I'm a mistake. And mistakes aren't allowed to eat. So, yeah. But sometimes, Avery will bring me back something she didn't want, or was saving for me. I'll face it, Avery's really a sweet kid, she's just gets on my nerves every now and then. And tonight, I didn't eat. But, that's ok because I ate lunch when I was out. I buy my own food when I know that nobody from the orphanage will be out.

I once got caught by Clair, one of the workers, when I was buying something from McDonald's. She took my food and threw it away and told me I don't deserve to eat in front of the whole restaurant. Bitch. I tried to act like I didn't know her but she said my name out loud. I had to drive back with her and I was punished for a week. Yeah, she doesn't like me. None of them like me, really.

It's like 10 o'clock right now so I better get some sleep, I have an interview tomorrow. Probably some pedophile who's looking for a preppy slut. If that's the case, this is the orphanage for them.

It was about noon when Avery was shaking me, telling me to get dressed and ready. I got out of the warm blanket and changed into an Iron Maiden shirt, black skinny jeans and my combat boots. I put a few belts on and attached a chain to my belt loop. I put on my regular, everyday makeup and brushed out my hair and got it pin straight. I went downstairs to see all the girls lined up and waiting for the person who was adopting. All I saw was a black figure with slightly spiked long hair and a side cut. Is this the guy I have an interview with? Next thing I know, Judith and Sophia, another worker who hates me, shoved me into the interview room.

I sat down and saw the guy that was out in the hall/entrance. He looked at me and smiled "Hey, I'm Ashley, but you can call me Ash." I returned the smile and introduced myself as well "Violet. Or Vi for short." "Cool, so I see you like music." He said talking about my shirt and bracelets "Oh, yeah. I'm really more into Rock and Roll." Ashley nodded and began to read a file that had my name on it. Uh oh. I'm hoping he doesn't see the fights and stuff in there. "So, how old are you?" "I'm 13." "Cool. When's your birthday?" "Halloween. The best holiday ever." I said smiling. "Haha, agreed. So, do you have any special talents?" The hell kind of question is that? "I used to be able to light a match with my teeth, but I've learned to do it with my braces." I said flashing my teeth so he could see. His face lit up and he searched in his pocket. He pulled out a match book and slid it to me, I opened the package and took out a match.

I flashed my teeth once again and struck it across the braces as it lit on fire. I instantly blew it out so nobody would catch fire. He went on asking me questions for about 5 minuets and we both said our good-byes and we both left.

Ashley went to the front desk and talked to Delilah, the only worker who doesn't hate me, and I walked back up to my room and started playing with my belt. About half an hour went by and I heard a knock on Avery and I's door and it was Claire "Pack your stuff, rat. You're being adopted." I was in shock "What?" "You're being adopted, idiot." Sweet! "Fuck yeah!" "Watch your language." "Fuck no!" Usually when I swore, I got hit, and today wasn't different. Claire slapped me in the face and right when I was about to punch her in her freaking stomach, Ashley walked in.

He must've seen the mark on my face or seen Claire slap me because he instantly corrected her "You should NEVER place your hands on a child Miss!" "She got what she deserved." "What she deserves is to be treated fairly! Please leave her room." Claire walked out and slammed the door behind her. "Thank you, but I was going to punch her myself." "Haha, sorry. Now get your stuff and let's go." "Wait, YOU'RE adopting me?" "Yep."

Ok then. "C'mon, and by the way we're leaving tomorrow." Wait what? "What do you mean 'leaving'?" "Going back to LA. I don't live in Philly." Well duh. Wait how are we getting there?! "And how are we getting there,exactly?" "Well, we're not driving." Are we flying there?! A wave of both excitement and terror rushed over me. I've never been on a plane! WHAT IF IT CRASHES?! I'm sure it'll be fine, lots of people go in planes! WHAT IF IT LANDS IN THE OCEAN?!?! I must've been mumbling or he probably saw my facial expression because he laughed at me and said "Don't worry, I've been on a plane before, it's safe! Just don't push the red button." "WHAT?!" "Ok ok, I'm kidding." "Whew." "Why are you so scared?" Cuz I don't wanna die!!

I don't know about you but I like living! (Other than bullies and past things) "Because I like living."

"Hahaha," the most sarcastic laugh I've ever heard "But seriously, let's go."

"Ok ok, I'm packing." I put my phone, charger, iPod, clothes, and my only other pair of shoes in my backpack. I'm not so sure if I'm ready, but this is a new start. Hopefully.
