I moved into my new room in the orphanage. They were so kind to me, considering I was 14 and they knew I understood everything. They let me design my own room and even gave me a choice of what room I wanted. I took the top floor first room to the left.

This was a recently built orphanage, so, they wanted something different. I painted my room black with white handprints on it. My handprints. When I move out, I want a part of me to always be there. I had a full-size bed and I had really cool bed sheets, black with red skulls and white roses going through them with vines. I had a small closet, a black desk, dresser, and two outlets.

After I unpacked and everything, I just sat on my bed, staring at my doorway. It was midday, and I was just not happy. Did I mention I was in Cincinnati Ohio? Its always busy and there is a hospital across the street. I pulled out my sketchbook.

"My mom and dad wouldn't want me to be upset, they would want me to be happy. And they would want me to carry on." I said out loud to myself. I began to finish my Markiplier drawing. As I began shading, a boy walked into my room. He set flowers on my desk next to my laptop, and a teddy bear next to the flowers.

"Hey." He said. "Hey," I said back. "Um... I just wanted to introduce you to the orphanage." He said. "I'm Evan." "Hey, I'm Hope and thanks for the flowers. They are beautiful." " is that the Markiplier sign on your shirt?" The guy asked. "Yes!" I said excitedly.

"Dude I like him. He's cool." Evan said. "Did you draw that?" He asked, admiring my drawing on my bed. "Yes," I said, smiling. "It's great." He said. "You should hang it up." I smiled at him. "So, you want a tour of the place?" Evan asked. "Sure," I said, smiling. It was weird how we met, considering how quickly he can carry a conversation.

"This is my room," Evan said, walking across the hall to his room, directly straight in front of my door. He opened his door. His room was red with black hand prints. "Same idea I had?" I asked, looking at the walls. "Something to leave, my handprints." He said. He had a Minecraft T-shirt on.

"You like video games?" I asked. "Love!" He said. "Maybe we can game together!" I said excitedly. "Yeah. steam?" He asked. "My steam name is SnakeeSkinn" I said. "I will text you tho." I wrote my number on his hand. "Let's go see the rest of the orphanage, shall we?" I smiled and followed him to the first floor.

Sadly I noticed most of the people were young and sad. My room is the only black one tho. He took me to the dining room. There are about 10 tables. Then I got to the kitchen. It's very nice here, but I'm gonna miss home. They even have dogs here! Imagine that! "Hey, do you wanna maybe, sit with me at dinner today?

I have a few other friends. You could meet some cool people." "Sure," I said. Good, now I don't have to worry about dinner. I went back to my room. I'm a vlogger, so I make videos. It's not a profession, but its a hobby. I turned my camera on. I played the song "Everything Changes" By Staind as I recorded.

"Hello everybody, SnakeeSkinn here with another vlog. I have some bad news today, unfortunately." I said with a long pause and a tear. "My mom and Stepdad got in a car accident. They have both passed away so now I live in an orphanage.

And you may notice, I'm not wearing what I normally am and that's because Markiplier is the only thing keeping me happy right now so I'm wearing his shirt. I'm sorry but I may not be making as many videos at the moment. Remember I love you all so, with that said, bye!" I said. I waved to the camera and shut it off. I posted it on YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram.

I have only about 1,000 subscribers, but they are all supportive, and they are growing by the seconds. I shut my laptop. It was dinner time. I met Evan out in the hallway. He was waiting for me with two friends. A girl and a boy. "Guys, this is-" "You're SnakeeSkinn!" The girl said excitedly.

I got wide-eyed. I was surprised. What are the odds of someone knowing who I am? I shook her hand. "I'm Hope, and you are?" "Mary." She said with a smile. "Can you give me an autograph?" She asked. She gave me a marker. I signed her phone case and her T-shirt. It was one of mine. I smiled at the sight of it.

We got to dinner. They served spaghetti and garlic bread. It was actually really good. "This orphanage is definitely, um, different," I said. "I thought they would take my phone, Alien-ware, my clothes." I said. "Yeah, they are pretty cool here. "I definitely didn't expect you to end up here." Mary said. "Yea, me either," I said. Evan gave Mary a dirty look. "It's fine Evan." I said. It's a fan. I couldn't be mad." I actually hugged her. "I would like it if Mary, Evan, another Evan, would you like to be on my blog tomorrow?" I asked.

"My name is Alex." The other guy said. "Yes, we would." Evan said. Mary got red in the face. "I'm gonna be in a video of yours." She said. She kinds freaked. "Are you gonna sing?" She asked. "I don't know." I said. "Come on." Alex said. "I wanna hear you." Everyone got quiet. Apparently they were listening. "Guys, it's rude to sing at the dinner table." "You're fine." Said the head lady there. I wanna hear you."

I sang 'Let it go' from Frozen. I thought it would be the only song I could sing that people would know. Everyone clapped and Mary cried next to me. "You're singing tomorrow." Evan said. I smiled. "Thanks, guys." I said. "Everyone subscribe to her. SnakeeSkinn on YouTube!" She yelled. Everyone got on their phones and did. This is one weird orphanage.

I don't even know what to think of it honestly. I went to my room. Evan came to me later on that night. "You know, you're a really good singer." He said. "Why didn't you tell me you had a YouTube channel?" He asked. "It's not generally what I'm proud of. I don't think its that good." I said.

"Are you crazy?!" He said. "You're amazing!" "Thanks." I said. "It's just... I used to sing with my dad... And... Now.." I got a lump in my throat. I felt the tears coming. Just then, my phone buzzed. It was my twitter. "@Markiplier: @SnakeeSkinn you are amazing! Love your channel! " my heart sank. I guess I turned white or something, because Evan asked, "What's wrong?" I showed him my phone. I got another buzz. "@Markiplier followed you" "I think I died a little." I said.

Evan laughed. It was time for bed. "Night, Hope." Evan said. "Night." I said. I went to bed peacefully. What would tomorrow bring? I love you mom, I love you dad. Forever.
