The orphanage is hard to live in. I can't wait to be adopted out age out of foster care. My name is Emma and I'm 9 years old. I'm so bored in this orphanage. I have nobody to play with. I want a family to be there for me. I haven't had one ever. My parents died when I was 2.
I heard voices in my room but ignored them. "She's been here so long. I think she'd benefit from you," Alfonzo informed. Okay, so there's a family in here.
"She's so small. Carlisle can we?"
"I don't see why not. Wake her up. Tell her not to rush. We can wait for her to get up. She should have some time to wake," a male answered.
"Of course. I'll be down in a moment," Alfonzo responded. I turned over as I heard the door shut. "You've been picked by a really nice family. You'll love them, Emma," he assured. I nodded and sat up. "Wash up and brush up," he chuckled. I nodded and grabbed my outfit and towels. I ran a shower and groaned as the hot water wouldn't hurry up.
"She'll be out soon. The hot water takes forever," Arianne assured. I'm guessing my adopters are in our room.
"Oh so she's waiting for it to come through the pipes," a man realized. Thank you, Arianne. Finally, the water kicked in so I began washing off. I wanted to smell nice so I borrowed Arianne's berry things. She wouldn't mind. As I climbed out I brushed my teeth before packing my toiletries in their bag and then brushed my hair and got dressed. I walked into my room and chucked all the laundry that was the orphanage's in the hamper and then grabbed a plastic bag and threw my dirty clothes in it. It took no time to zip the suitcase and walk down the stairs where I saw a family of angels literally waiting.
"You must be Emma," a woman greeted. I nodded shyly and I swear my face was heating up. "I'm Esme. I'll be your new mom," she greeted. I smiled and then pretty quickly I began to learn names. Carlisle and Esme are my new parents and I have 6 older brothers and sisters and a niece.
As we drove home, I fell asleep again. I couldn't help it. I haven't been sleeping well these past few nights. But as I woke up I saw I was in a new room and it had my name on a banner. 'Welcome Home Emma!'. Wow, these people are nuts. They didn't have to do all this for me. I swear I'm going to have such a hard time adjusting.
