CHAPTER 3
I walk towards them. "Hello, what's your name" I hear Connor say "Ali" I reply. He smiles and motions for me to sit. All of the other five just sit next or behind him.
"How old are" you he asks "13" I reply he smiles bigger and we talk some more. I realize we have a lot in common. We both like Arizona and Twitter.
There's a lot more but I don't remember much after that. We sit there for what seems like hours. And then Aubrey comes over to me holding her baby doll.
I ask Connor to excuse me so I can take Aubrey to Hannah. He smiles and gives me a nod. I take her back and she crys as I walk away.
It's really hard to see her like that. And even harder to think about that being my last time with her. I sit back next to Connor and he tells me a few things about him.
Then all the other boys do as well. When there done Hannah tells me I should let them talk to someone else. I don't want to but I get up and say goodbye to the boys.
Before I can leave Connor says we will take her. I gasp. He really wants me? Why!? I didn't do much to deserve this. I barley talked. Well ok maybe I over talked but that's not the point.
I'm getting adopted! I jump in excitement and hug Connor. "Thank you!" I scream. Connor Smiles bigger than I think I have ever seen him smile. He hugs me and doesn't let go.
"Can't breath" I choke.he smiles and says "sorry I just don't wanna let you go" "but you barely know me" I tell him "I feel like I already know you better than anyone" Connor replies. "I love you"
How does he already love me? Did I really give that good of a impression? "I love you too" by this time were not hugging but everyone has their phones pulled out and are taking pictures.
Including Trevor who has been on his phone for a long time. Connor signs the papers and has JC take me upstairs to pack.
Of course Aubrey follows. We get up there and I pack my bags and Aubrey wants me to hold her. I pick her up and I tell her I love her.
I give her a kiss and I realize I'm holding my best friend for the last time. It really is sad my best friend is 3. But I can't help loving her she's amazing.
I won't get to be here for her fourth birthday. I'll miss her first day of preschool. But it's the way it's meant to happen. Goodbye sis. I tell her.
She looks confused but she waves and of course when I leave the room she follows me. She follows until I go outside.
Then she stops at the door. I wave at her and she runs to me. Connor sees her and takes my bags. He asked "who is she" I tell him "she's my little sister basically" "
she's been here since she was 2 months old." I tell him "I cared for her for 3 years." I ask him if I can have a minute and he's says yes. I tell her I'm going to go away now.
She cries as I take her to Hannah who is standing at the door. I wave to her as I get into the car. I hear her scream "Ali" with some crying. And I tear up as the car drives away.
