Chapter 8

She was gone.

It had only been three hours, but I missed her like crazy.

I knew it was selfish of me to wish she hadn't gone, to wish she was still stuck in here with me, but I did. And I didn't feel ashamed about it, because all week I was everything she needed. I let her sleep in my bunk, I let her tell me all about her new family, how she had two older sisters and how they spoke Spanish, I told her everything was going to be good and that she was going to have a family and she didn't need me to protect her (even though I gave her a necklace with a teddy-bear pendant on that had Charbear engraved on the back, so she wouldn't forget me), and I acted like I was over the moon about her being adopted. And now she was gone I could let my true feelings out without being ashamed, because I no longer had the reason to smile with me, and I was allowed to show that it hurt, that Olivia Claire, the little girl I've known since she was one years old and slept in the bed under mine, meant the absolute world to me, and that seeing her go was one of the hardest thing I've ever had to go through.

I climbed onto my bed and hugged the pillow she had gotten me so I would remember her. of course, it had a tree on it because she had learned that Olives grew on trees, so I would think of her because the tree would remind me of Olives which is the name of her bear...It made sense.

It was a nice shade of green and soft, making it incredibly comfortable to hug, which I would probably be doing a lot.

Elise, Jessie, Kylie and Kaitlyn had been here to say goodbye to Olivia to, I was glad they came, not only because I missed them but because I could say with ease that I wasn't the biggest wreck as Olivia drove away with her new family. They had left a little while ago, since it was already 9pm.

It had been a little over a week ago when Fifth Harmony were here, and we were all on the tire swing. Lauren and the others seemed a little off when they left, not a bad 'off' but they seemed to be...I don't know, I can't read people or emotions very well, maybe that was because I'd never seen anything other than sadness and anger growing up, so when it came to people showing good emotions, I got a little confused in trying to decipher them, but sadness and anger I could spot a mile away.

All the girls, especially Lauren, had stayed in touch. Lauren called every night on the main phone, talking to Miss Greene before me for as long as I wanted, and she texted through the day, asking how I was and how far I'd gotten in Harry Potter. She told me last night that she and the girls had a few months off in about a week, that they all were going to be back at the beach house Simon had bought them. Lauren promised to visit, but in all honesty I wished she didn't.

I know, I'm probably the luckiest girl. Lauren Jauregui, member of Fifth Harmony, the girl group that is taking over, wants to see me. But I don't want to see her, because it's hard watching her leave again, it gets harder each time and I don't want to get more attached to her, because she's never going to adopt me, not even I would adopt me.

"Hey Charlotte..." Miss Greene was now stood in front of me. It was how it was all those years ago. I was laying on my side, watching everyone get ready for bed as Miss Greene tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, only this time I didn't flinch like before.

"You okay?" She asked. I shook my head. "It hurts." I sighed, she nodded. "Her Mom said she'll let Olivia call you tomorrow. They just got back and she was asleep." Miss Greene explained. I was happy they got back okay, but I'm sure my face or eyes didn't show anything but sadness. "Are you sure you're okay?" Miss Greene asked. Isn't it strange, after all these years I still don't know her first name? I shrugged. "I'm tired." And with that, she kissed my temple and helped the others into bed, before doing the usual 'good night' and turning off the lights, shutting the door behind her.
