The Animals Proposal

This is mostly just an older story I wrote when I was younger I wanted to post to see how I've grown in my writing abilities:
Olivia had always been a nervous kid. Her life used to be happy, until the morning of her 17th birthday, August 2, 2016. Her parents had left the night before to go on their first date in years, but they never came back. Olivia had woken up the next day to find they were still not there. She thought that they were planning a big surprise and that they would be back any minute, so she waited on their couch downstairs. While she waited, she decided to watch tv. She turned it on and was about to change it to Netflox when a news story caught her eyes. She continued watching it..., "Terrible car crash found on kitten st ct E. A moving truck crashed straight into a minivan. There were no survivors found." Alabama Way ST was 5 minutes away from her house, and her parents were driving a minivan that night.
Her parents died in that car crash...
She was sent to an orphanage because none of her living family members could take her in.
Her grandparents lived in a senior home and were too old to care for her, and her aunt had 7 kids. Her aunt loved her very much but 8 kids is 7 too many to care for by oneself.
Olivia didn't know what to feel at the time, but she knew she sure wasn't happy. The one wish Olivia wanted on her 17th birthday was that her parents had come back.
