My eyelids fluttered open, followed immediately by a splitting head ache, wincing from the pain I felt, I opened my eyes and eyes to see baby blue eyes staring down angrily at me.

An inaudible gasp left my lips and I scooted backwards, the heart monitor beside me beeped louder and more frequent.

The girls eyes softened reaching for me, trying to calm me down.

      I closed my eyes calming myself down, taking even breaths, when everything hit me...

  Hard.

  My mother practically disowned me.
       The heart monitor started beeping faster again.

    A woman came in and looked angrily at the blue eyed girl.

   " I didn't do anything, I swear" she said glancing at me.

    " its okay dear, just calm down, my name is Isabelle and I won't hurt you", the woman said cautiously watching my reaction as she came closer to me.

   This is my daughter, Jenner, she's your new sister.
  
Where have I heard that name before?,

    "Sister!?," I asked quietly.

    Slapping her hands over her lips, she looked fearfully at me.

    "I'm sorry, that was not to be said till you were discharged. She muttered almost to her self.

    "What do you mean?", I asked looking up at her.

    "Well....!, after the accident, the police went to your house, to inform your family of the  accident, but on getting there, they were told you lived by yourself and that you were thrown out that morning for not paying your house rent" she sighed, then continued.

    " I don't think you know of this, but a 17year old girl like you still deserve a guardian to watch and protect you, you aren't supposed to be living alone".

  

   "I was the one who hit you, and I'm sorry, but I gotta ask, what were you thinking about so deep in thought, that you didn't hear the blaring horn of my car, or better still, look both sides before crossing" she asked curiously.

    "I'm sorry, I don't want to talk about it"I said wrapping my arms around my self.

    " well…, since you already know everything that is happening, I have to tell you that, I'm your new mom. The police gave me custody of you till your 18th birthday. And I was happy to oblige, for they gave another option to take you to a foster home but I declined." She said smiling brightly at me.

   Words couldn't describe how happy I was, I couldn't help but think that things were taking a better turn for me. I couldn't help but think that maybe…, just maybe, my life would go back to normal.

     "With the evident smile on your face, I can say you are alright with everything," Isabelle said beaming happily at me,  before going out.

    Nodding my head, I looked to my side to see the blue eyed girl looking at me angrily.
 

    "Hello!!, Mary Ann".

    Taking aback by the fact that she knew my name,  I looked fearfully at her, and my heart monitor started beeping faster again.

my glasses were not with me, so I couldn't see clearly.

  

     "No need to get all worked up, we go to the same school", she said again squinting her eyes at me.
