Once Upon a Dream

chapter 2

It was a normal day at the house, and by normal I ment "dad" slapping me because he thinks I hurt his "little girl" (which is a dog!!!). I also got grounded for no reason, and my phone got taken away as well as everything else...well almost everything else, not the thing that is dearest to me..which is a camcorder that my real mother gave me before her death. I have recorded everything that is important to me like me getting my own phone...that I had to pay for. And every birthday I have ever had. And YouTube videos. Today though will be a little different. They are disowning me, which means they are taking me back to an orphanage but what was weird was "dad" wasnt home when I got home from school. "Mom" was and she gave me lilli (the dog) and apologized for how "dad" treated me and told me that I could keep the phone "they got me" anyway, she took me to the orphanage that they got me from. And once again "mom" said sorry and that she thought I was a good kid no matter what "dad" said. But sadly she said she couldn't keep me or else he would hurt me more and abuse me more and that kind of stuff. And here I am back where I started....the orphanage. The care taker (Mrs. Pain, which sounds scary but she isn't scary.) Greeted me and welcomed me back which I know she felt bad for me but I didnt address it or else I would start crying. I head to my old room that was surprisingly still how I left it. With my once posters everywhere around the room and then I left a Polaroid picture in a hidden spot to show I lived here and it was still there so that was fun to find. I look around and see that there is another bed. A little girl that looked to be about 10-11 came in and looked at me in shock. "W..who are you and what are you doing in my room?!?!" She asks. "Your room this is my room now sister so beat it!!" I say which seems to scare the girl more and she runs to Mrs. Pain. I roll my eyes and put my stuff on the bed that was not taken. "Mrs. Pain she threatened me to get out of my room!!" I hear the girl say. "Shes only upset, just let her cool down." Mrs. Pain says. The girl nods and steps in the room. I unpack my stuff and grab lilli and put her on her dog bed. The girl sits on her bed and doesnt take her eyes off of me. "You know if you want a picture I can get you one." I say not turning around to look at her. "Uh...no I dont want a picture I just want to know why are you mean??" She asks. "Well" I say and turn around and look at her. "Some people adopt a kid and are happy but once the kid is a certain age the parents dont want them anymore and so they send the kid back to where they started." I say looking at her. "What do you mean they dont want the kid anymore??" She asks. I sit down and look at her. "It means that the parents dont love the kid anymore." I say trying not to cry in front of a tiny little innocent girl. "Oh...so what's your name??" She asks. "Lizzie....but sometimes I get called l
Liz." I say. "And what's your name??" I ask. "My name is McKenzie but my friends call me Kazzy." She says. I stop and think for a moment because I know that name and then I relize who she is. She is the kid that got left at the orphanage the day I got adopted by my "family". Her story was that her parents were 16 and they wanted to give her a better life instead with young parents. "So how old are you now??" I ask. "I'm 10 and you??" She asks me. "14 which means I can drive this December." I say, which was never going to happen but a person can dream right?? "So why haven't you taken down my posters??" I ask. "Oh uh because they are cool and they represent what should happen to fairy tales." She says looking at the walls. "Oh..have you heard of the show??" I ask her. "Yeah and before my parents gave me up they told me stories about a princess who was sad but once she had friends she felt like she had a family." She says. I nod when I hear Mrs. Pain call everyone downstairs. Everyone gets in line and Mrs. Pain tells all of us that we are having a surprise adoption day that was starting in 20 minutes and so we had to get ready. When we all break and go get ready, I just put on my OUAT shirt and some yoga pants. When I look at Kazzy she was in a dress with small heels. I just scoffed and went to my spot in line.
