Shunned

"This place is hell" remarked Aliyah

"You think I don't know that?"

My name is Cora, and I was left at a catholic orphanage when I was only a few months old.

Aliyah is my best friend who has been here since pre school. She tells me stories about her family, but I know she makes them up because she has hope they'll come back.

I know mine won't, or will they?
