I take Annie's car while she is passed out on the couch and go driving. I go down the same street that I crashed on the other night. I park the car and start to walk towards the lake that Ogima was waiting for me. "Charlotte." The whisper says. "Who's here?" I wonder. "Come find me, Charlotte." Another whisper says. I glance around and I don't see anybody. "Charlotte..." the whisper repeats. I start to run further into the trees to try an escape, but the whispers get louder. "Leave me alone!" I scream. I run as fast as I can which isn't fast because I haven't ran in years because of my heart. I had almost forgotten how. I look behind me to see if someone was following, but nobody was there. I turn back around and run right into the person I was looking for. "Abitha?" I question as I stare down into her eyes. "Are you going to get up or not?" She raises an eyebrow. "Not that I don't like this position." She smirks.

I lay back against the pillows and sigh. Today is the day we adopted the twins. It's a special day that we celebrate every year as we do for Callie's adoption day and for Jude's adoption day, but there is more to this day. Not only is this the day we adopted the twins, but it's also the day I gave birth to twins. It all happened before I met Stef and it was just too emotional to ever tell her about. I gave my kids up for adoption and I never forgave myself for it. That's why I was so eager to adopt the twins.

All I can think about is her. All I want is her. I crave her. I need her. I love her. If only he would just let me free. Let me be free to be with her. * * * Morgan is a twenty two year old girl born into a life of crime. She most certainly didn't ask for this life and she is desperate to escape from it.

My father thinks he can run my life and my mother does nothing to stop it. Everyone hates me, but that's alright with me. They don't have to deal with me anymore. I will solve the problem myself. I grab the pills from my mother's medicine cabinet and swallow a hand full in one go. It hurt going down, but everything would be fine soon enough. Soon everyone will be happy. "It's time. Are you ready?" Elisa, my sister asks once I walk out the room. I nod and she takes my hand and we go to join the party. My father's birthday party. All of his mob friends and low life acquaintances are there. I smile and wave at them before sitting down. I stare out at the crowd and watch as my vision becomes hazy. I think the pills are starting to kick in. It took them long enough. I stand up and take about three steps before falling to the floor. I see a rush of people come towards me and close my eyes. "Alana?" "Am I dead?" I wonder. "Is this heaven or hell?" "You are in the hospital." I open my eyes and see an angel. She has long blonde hair and big green eyes. Her skin is tan and she has a dimple on her left cheek. I smile at her and she smiles back. ************** My mind is racing as I listen to soft snores of the beauty beside me. Alana is absolutely gorgeous. I hug her body closer to mine. How is this possible? For the last five months I have strictly been Alana's doctor and occasionally her friend, but lately it's been more. I am head over heels for a seventeen year old.
