CHAPTER 1

BROOKLYN SAIGE

I was only 6 years old when I was put in an orphanage. Its currently only been 1 year, but it feels like a lifetime. I've spent all my birthdays and holidays here; My mom died just a little while ago, maybe about 5 years old? It wasnt that long ago for me seeing her burried in the ground. I think she's nothing but trouble to be honest. She was a drinking alcoholic, her lungs turned black as she smoked, she was sick from scoliosis-meaning her spine in her back isnt straight like its suppose to be. No one knew where my dad was, nor would my mom tell me who he was.

Maybe she didnt like him. I thought. Could it be true? Did she really make sense about my dad being a bad person? Claiming he walked away from her when I was born? And Dying drunk, by drowning himself in a stream cause he couldnt swim? I chuckled. I already knew my mom lied. It all makes sense now. She just didnt like him. But did he actually... No! He couldnt have! My dad had to be way intelligent than what my mom claimed!

Sometimes I would think my mom was crazy. Even when I'm not with her.

September cold evening, the sky full of solid white clouds as it lit up from the hot sun. The nice cool breeze hit my face as I smelled the drenched fresh flowers dying by my surprise.

"Brooklyn" Sabrina called. She was my only friend that cared. Not only that, but she was the only one I trusted and had faith in her. Even though she was 2 years ahead me, she was still my friend. Your probably wondering if I have friends from school right? Never went to school. My mom told me that my dad might try to search my name in the computer. Hack into every system he could get too. Before he "mistakenly" died.

"Brooklyn." Sabrina called my name again.

"Yes?" I answered. Although, she knew I wasnt to excited about my birthday approaching, nor about something she was about to say. I looked up at the sky, trying to find some way I can escape. Leaving my mind to increase working. I didn't want to stay here, but I didn't want to live on the streets either. She looked down as her face showed concern and depression with madness hooked together.

"The orphange is closing down, we might not see each other again... The owners of this place are searching for any realitives or anything we're close too. If they dont find any matches for anyone..." She stopped. She looked back down, looking at the dirty, opaque wooden floor. "We'll probably get recommended for adoption or flying out to another country... Well that's what I heard." She surprisingly looked up after.

"That's terrible."

"I know... They say they're going to talk to us individually so we completely understand. In alphabetical order. I think your second to last." She responded.

"Yeah. Probably." Wait. What did she mean "closing down"? This place cant close down! I dont want to be given up by adoption! I've already been there twice! and I've been through a difficult and struggling life. There's no way they could be closing! There's just no way!

"Sabrina. Its your turn" the owner of this place called out. Her name is Ms. Jasper. She was married, but then she got recently divorced from her husband because he cheated on her. Twice. Something always seemed like something was bothering her at every point.

"Sabrina." Ms. Jasper gripped Sabrina's hand in hers. Sabrina pulled away as she took my hand.

"Brooklyn." She whispered. "Your gonna be okay; I promise." She said smiling up at me. I didnt manage to smile back before she turned around. So I held onto it. I bit my lip as hard as I could. I didnt wanna leave; Not like this of course. I turned to Sabrina and Ms. Jasper.

"Wait." I spoke. "Ms. Jasper? Can I please have a word with Sabrina?" She nodded, not too surprised. Sabrina gave me a warm embrace before I could speak.

"I know your worried... But I'm worried too. Even though we'll probably become split up, you'll always have my number and contact infomation."

"Sabrina-"

"Look Brooklyn, you dont have to worry. Alright? I'll be fine. No matter how well or horrible I'm doing. Even if I become sucessful or un-successful; just dont worry okay?!"

"Sabrina... What if they find my dad? You know, my real father?" I whispered smiling at her for the first time today,

"Father? I thought you said both of your parents were dead. And your father myseriously died by drowning in a pool."

"A stream is what I said; But anyways, I think my mom was lying to me that whloe time. She probably just didnt want me to know who my father was back then and who he is now." I explained. "Maybe she just told me that so I could just stop searching and just give up all my tracks I've went through these years. So maybe he's still alive and you and me could find him and live with him and have a great life!"

"And? If he's not alive or we cant find him?"

"Well I still want to know who he is. And maybe some facts or infomation about him. I hope my mom was lying. I dont know how bad it would feel if I had opened up a history book about my father and read something that he did and cause some kind of damage to the environment."

"Yeah I cant imagine how that would feel I-"

"Sabrina." Ms. Jasper pressed her hands together, making it look like she clamped them together. "We really need to go and discuss this on our minds. You cant forget that I have more people, students, and meetings to report this too. You cannot hold up my time like this." She complained.

"Sorry Ms. Jasper. Its just Sabrina and I was in a deep conversation. We're very-"

"No need to apologize for that, we just need to go. Come on. You can have your time with Sabrina all day after this discussion" She pushed Sabrina out the door. Sabrina glanced at me confused. "Move it!"

Usually Ms. Jasper is always nice and patient, but she was no where near that right now in this position. I was kind of discussed. She needs to breathe; She needs to take a breath and start over.

"Brooklyn! In my office now!" Mrs. Partridge yelled. She is the second owner here. She sounded really mad and it sounding like she wanted to choke me.

"Y-Yes, Mrs. Partridge." I slowly walked to the office. I closed the door behind me. What could she have possibly want?
