Welp, I did it, I've finally graduated from high school. Now what?

I'm stupid to what's about to happen, I've graduated, I'm an adult now which means it's time to leave the orphanage and start my life.

Greaaaa, not!

I've spent the last five years completely alone. All the kids around my age or older either aged out or got adopted, all expect me. I haven't found my forever home because people fear my father coming back for me.

I've seen him a few time sand he apologizes but it doesn't mean anything to me now. The orphanage keepers have been amazing in letting my stay but now it's time for me to go out and do my own thing I guess.

I never did hear from Jason so I don't know where he is now or what he's up to, but from what everyone tells me, he's doing good.

There are times when I really miss him but then I remember that he left me and I get pissed and break things. Lets just say things have not been good for me. I've had boyfriends, hook ups, one night stands, all of them end the same

Everyone leaves me.

Getting back to the orphanage I'm prepared for whatever they're about to say

"Ari?"

I gulp turning "Hey Ms, Tiffany"

"Hi honey" She smiles

"Come to kick me out" I chuckle softly

"Ari, it'snot like that" She sighs

"No I get it, I'm eighteen now, gotta be an adult"

"Honey—"

"Can I at least get my stuff?" I ask

She sighs and nods "Yeah"

I swallow my tears and walk up the stairs to my little room
