She Who Survives All

Chapter 1: Memories

Lora's POV(now 19):
(In a distant voice) psycologist: "Lora, Lora, Lora!"
"Y-yes?" Answered Lora
"Please continue."
"Right, sorry." Fidgeting with her necklace that carried her mother and fathers engagement rings.
"What happened next?"
Takes a deep breath. "When I woke up, I didn't know where I was. But once I was starting to get off the bed. A nurse came into the room, she was nice. She told me to lay back down and to wait for the doctor." "I asked where my mother, father, and brother were. She didn't answer me, only looked at me with pity." "When the doctor came in, another man was with him. I didn't know who he was. But that was until he told who he was and what he worked as."
Memory of 8 year old Lora at the hospital
Gregg: "Hello Lora, my name is Gregg. I work with child services. I here to help you find a new home with a nice family. Okay?"
"I don't need a new family. I'm happy with mommy, daddy, and my bid brother."
Gregg:(looks at the doctor) "Lora... your mommy, daddy, and brother aren't here anymore. They're in a better place."
"At that moment I realized what they truely meant, since my mother said the same thing about my grandparents"
"No...(Tears streaming down her eyes) mommy... daddy... jake... I .. don't want to be alone."
"Everything came down on me. I realized that I won't be with my parents or my brother. A day passed and I was released from the hospital. Gregg took me to an orphanage. I thought it wouldn't be so bad. But I was completely wrong."
Psychologist: "How come?"
"Our supposed caretaker. From the first day never liked me. Everyday it would be.."
Caretaker: "Why are you crying crybaby?! Quiet or dinner for you!"
"But I got an ouchie on my knee. (In a small quiet tone)
Caretaker: "Like I care! Now go clean the kitchen! Now!"
"I got up with shaking legs. And made my way to the kitchen. Every single day its was pure chores. No going outside, no equity. That was until I turned 18 years old."
Caretaker: "What do you mean your leaving! You can't leave until I say so!"
"Actually I can by law once a kid is of 18 years of age they are officially an adult. So I can and will leave whether you like it or not."
"Once I left that horrible nightmare. I used the money I saved throughout the years to study. It took time, but later on I got a job as server in a fancy restaurant. I was able to get an apartment and I was able to pay my college dept."

"Yes, they have thank you."

"Thats fine. See you another time Anna!"
Anna:"hahaha bye Lora!"
