We'll meet again. by feaqthrs

Then there was a larger folder labeled Madison Elizabeth Mitchell. I took the folder from its slot and took it to my room. I opened the folder and saw papers that changed my life. They were adoption papers. My adoptions papers. This made more sense, why my 'parents' hated me so much, why I was never invited to family events. But why would they lie to me about this? They hated me so much why wouldn't the just rub it in my face that I wasn't really related to them? ------------------------------ ~This is two different fan fictions put into one~ ~I do not own any character except the ones I create. They all belong to Shonda Rhimes~ *there is a reason it is two different fanfics into one story line so bare with me* ----------------------------

"I loved you like there was no tomorrow yet you left like yesterday didn't mean a thing" All my life I wished for was a family .A happy home to come to I've had it but it all came crumbling down when my mom took me from my only happiness and she would be the reason the world showed it's dark side at a young age. Sneak Peek: "Wow" "she's a goddess" "who is that" "she is a beauty" "what an attention seeker" I walk down the ball smiling softly at all the guests.I walk behind my brothers and papa while Lucas is beside me.I don't miss the lust from men or the jealous glares women are giving me.But what surprises me the most is I see a face I never thought I would see ever again.... Under editing 👋 READ MY BOOK TO FIND OUT July 15😊 Sequel will be out in a while😘
