"FLORIDA?!"

Mac-

"Shhh calm down. Did you have any family over there?"

Ella-

Ella-

"H- he said s- she died because of all the stress I gave her."

She came over and hugged me 

Mac-

"Listen this is not your fault ok? People die it happens."

"Would it be ok, to get a DNA test to see if you have any family?"

Ella- 

"Umm what if they- y don't want me? What if they see and think I'm gross?"

Mac-

"No one thinks you're gross okay? It's not your fault."

Ella-

"Ok I- I'll take it"

Mac-

"Thank you, I will be back in a few hours. Please sleep."

Ella-

"Ok"

"No problem. I feel attached to her, like she kinda reminds me of what my mom looked like."
