"We found your grandma. She is your father's mom. Her name is Fuchsia and is quite excited to see you. She says she has been trying to arrange meeting you along with your mothers consent, however, your mom always denied her."

He then stops talking.

I start wondering, why wouldn't mom allow me to see Fuchsia?

Maybe she hates her?

Hmm, I wonder where she lives. I hope it's somewhere tropical!

Mr. Lane starts talking again, he said my grandma is 76 and lives in Kansas alone on her farm.

Forget about somewhere tropical.

She will be driving in and should arrive here tomorrow at about 9 am.

I'm kind've excited. I mean I'm getting out of here and somebody will care for me. But Kansas, that's not exciting.

I hope she won't want to talk about my mom or dad. Or else I might not be able to deal with her. But then again, she could tell me what happened to my father.

Well, this is to much to think about right now.

I should be going to bed, Goodnight.

I wake up and just lay in bed for a few minutes. Thinking about how this is the last time I will ever stay here.

I am slowly closing a chapter in my life.

I hop out of bed, get dressed, and go down to the dining room for breakfast. I walked in shocked as I see eggs, bacon, and pancakes, we only ever eat oatmeal.

I wonder what the special occasion is? I sit down in my normal seat, Ms. Crenshaw then starts the prayers.

When she was finished she made an announcement that this was all for me.

I'm pretty sure its a manuel thing to do when somebody leaves, because Ms. Crenshaw hates me.

Oh well, I hear a car honk from outside.

I run excitedly run back to my room and grab my suitcases. I walk to the front room where I see my childcare officer.

Where's Fuchsia?

I walk in and sit on the couch. Mr. Lane looks to the ground as I sit down.

"Umm, Demi, I don't know how to tell you this but, Fuchsia had a heart attack last night. She past on the way to the hospital. I'm very sorry to tell you this. I know you were very exciting that we found somebody. But don't give up just yet, we're still looking"

My whole body is numb, did he just say Fuchsia is dead?

But I, I, I never even got to meet her! This is so unfair.

I slowly walk back to my room and just lay on my bed. I start thinking, what have I done to deserve this? I lost my mom, and then my grandma. I may have never met her, but I wanted to leave this wrectched place. She was going to be apart of the new chapter in my life. Looks like this 'book of life' is longer than I thought.

So, what did you think? Will Demi ever get to Australia? I hope so! #RIPFuschia
