Chapter 4

Steffie POV

"Goodbye suckers!", "See you in the afterlife", "See you in hell, oh wait I'm going to heaven",.. I went downstairs again, searching for a way to bring the news to my parents.

Just before I entered the kitchen, I saw my mum and dad wash the dishes, I couldn't help but overhear their conversation;

"But if we would just take the money, I mean she can't say anything against us, we're her parents, she still has that one wish, she can keep that" my dad said, while drying some plates. "No we can't you've read the letter, only she can collect the money and it'll be on a safe account only she can reach and yes the wish, she can use it on whatever she wants", my mum replied shaking her head. "If only there was a way, she'd give us some money", my mum turned to my dad, "you can pretend to be severely ill and then she will help pay the bills, I'm sure she'll do that."

That was enough for me, I cleared my throat, announcing I was there. "Mum, dad, I've made my decision.." "You're giving us the money?!" my dad interrupted. I sighed annoyed by that question. "No I'm keeping it, in fact when I graduate in June I'm moving out of here, I'm off to America" I quickly said, like pulling a band aid from a wound. "I want to move out of here and start all over again, but not in Belgium, there's nothing left for me here."

You should have seen their faces, for once in their lives they didn't know what to respond, well I might as well drop another bomb "Oh and I'm a lesbian, just eh, just so you know"

I didn't wait for their response to that, I just went to my room and checked my Twitter, seeing some notifications from @lilmacdunn.

She's awesome, we've lost contact a while ago, but recently found each other again. She lives in America, so she's also a reason I'd love to go there, maybe we can live together one day.

Yes I like her more than just a friend, I have feelings for her, strong feelings. And I know if we'd be together they'll get even stronger. So I send her a direct message via Twitter saying I've got some important news.

My parents were right, I still have my wish, basically that can be anything. Like a car, a pet, a day at the zoo or going to a sold out concert. Like I said it can be anything. But I don't want all that, what I want is maybe not what you'd expect. You might even say, you're too young, you don't have any responsibility yet.

I want to adopt.
