A/N: I dreamt about this a couple of nights ago and I wrote down it with more details. Of course this will have more chapters, by now I wanted to explain few things of these two girls. Please review if you liked it or if you have ideas to improve this story! :) Sorry for the lack of details and grammar mistales, now I'm sick and I don't feel 100% okay to complete or correct them.
"How is she?" Asked a young nurse when she saw a little brunette girl been carried quickly through the Rosewood Community Hospital with her clothes soaking with blood and unconscious. Maia Bennett was the only survivor of a violent car crash at Rosewood Town entrance and she was an orphan now. Her parents Claire and Garrett Bennett died when their car collided head with a truck. She was beaten by a car and now the doctors were trying to save her from death. Few days later, Maia was okay and without serious sequelae, recovering faster. When she woke up a week later of the crash, her head hurt much and her hands too.
The young nurse who attended Maia was called Camila and when she saw Maia concious, she smiled at her and gave her a lovely gaze, calling the doctor. A tall man called John was Maia's doctor and examined the body of the little brunette, nodding that everything was okay.
"Maia, you can leave the hospital by now, but you can't go to your home" Said doctor John with a serious tone, worried about the little one.
"Why? Mommy and Daddy should be there" She answered puzzled about what she heard.
"Oh, darling, let me explain you" Camila mumbled taking Maia's hands and looked into her chocolate eyes. "Mommy and Daddy... Are two little angels now, God have them with him and they're missing you so much..." The nurse said, stopping talk while Maia started to cry sad.
She knew that now she was an orphan and it wasn't a good thing. Now she was alone, no one would take care of her, feed her, play with her... That was a scary thing. Then she thought about "Home Alone" movie and she sighed, she could live like Kevin McCallister until she grow up, couldn't she? But then she realized that she will need someone to live with, no matter what happened. Out of her parents, she didn't have any family.
Camila suddelny thought on something for Maia and looked to the child's eyes. "Darling, do you have more family?" Asked the nurse taking one Maia's hands.
Maia only denied with her head and Camila hugged her, carising her hair. "I see.. Well, I want to take you home, but I'm not ready to rise a child, so I'm thinking of an orphanage for you. What do you think?" She mumbled in Maia's ear.
"An orphanage? Why? I could live like Kevin McCallister" The little girl answered shrugging her shoulders.
"No, it was a movie Maia, you can't live alone forever. Also you need a place where they give you love and who knows? A good family could adopt you" Commented Camila pulling apart and smiling to Maia. She only nodded.
"Okay" Maia agreeded to go to go to Rosewood's Orphanage, a bit nervous.
Two weeks later and completely recovered, Camila bought some clothes for Maia: 2 dresses, 3 pairs of underwear, three skirts, an anorak, a jeans jacket, 3 pairs of socks, 4 shirts and 2 pairs of shoes. Maia got dressed and together packed the things of the little girl. Then, they walked hand in hand out of the Community Hospital and get on Camila's car; driving to the orphanage.
"I'm scared" Mumbled Maia looking through the window.
"Oh sweetie, don't be scared, it's a wonderful place. One of my cousins was adopted from there and she was sad when she had to leave their friends, it was her family and now she goes to visit them often" Camila answered touching one of the girl's hand with a calming tone on her voice.
"Okay" Maia nodded and the rest of the journey was in complete silence, only the radio playing some hot songs of 90's.
After 45 minutes driving, they arrived to a big antique building. "Rosewood Orphanage" was written in big beautiful letters and some kids were playing outside very happy. They looked very happy and that made Maia smile a bit. She and Camila walked and entered to the place, talking with an old woman while Maia played with her favourite doll.
"So we have a new girl, don't we? Welcome, darling. I'm Mrs. Martha Wright, call me Mrs. Wright sweetheart" The woman looked Maia and she smiled a bit.
"Okay Mrs. Wright" The girl answered and Camila hugged her with tears in her eyes.
"Maia... I'll miss you a lot, I hope someday we could meet again honey" Murmured Camila pulling apart from Maia. The little girl was crying too, sad because she bonded to the young woman.
"I'll miss you too Camila, can we mail each other?" Asked Maia crying very sad.
"Yes we can, if Mrs. Wright don't mind" Camila nodded and Mrs. Wright nodded too.
"You can mail each other, I see you have a strong bond" The woman said taking Maia's bag and dropped to her new room.
"Okay, I'll try to come to see you often as I can and I'll come with my cousin, right? It's a pinky promise. I love you" Whispered Camila hugging again Maia and wipped her tears.
"I'll wait for you and I love you too... See you soon" Maia replied taking Mrs. Wright hand and waved while Camila walked away.
"Here's your room darling" Mrs. Wright showed a room with four beds and walls painted with pale pink and pastel purple small hearts. The room was set with stuffed animals, dolls, some books, a special table for doing homework or draw, a cupboard for the four girls, a medium sized window and a closet. The bedding stuff was all pink and light blue with flowers and stars, something very beautiful, delicate and a bit luxuorious. Fortunately, that orphanage was in a richer town and all the inhabitants of Rosewood always gave huge amounts of money, so the kids were living with good conditions of life.
"It's beautiful" Maia mumbled walking across the place and chosen the bed at the top left of the door.
"Do you want that bed? It's yours, you and Alexis are similar in that way" Smiled Mrs. Wright, unpacking Maia stuff and putting it on the closet and cupbard. Then she picked a yellow sticked and sticked on the drawer, writing Maia's name in it. "Maia Bennett, here's your own drawer sweetie. And here's your key, be sure you lock it after removing or inserting something there" Mrs. Wright handed a key to Maia and kissed her forehead. "Now your roommate will come here. I hope you get along with her, she's a bit shy"
"Okay Mrs. Wright" Maia nodded and the woman left her alone. Few moments later, a blonde little girl entered to the room and gave a surprised gaze to Maia.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" The little blonde exclaimed slightly scared when she saw Maia.
"I'm Maia and I'm your new roommate" Explained the little brunette hugging her doll.
"I see... Sorry. I'm Alexis, and you?" Alexis smiled to Maia, looking at her with her big chocolate eyes.
"Maia, nice to meet you Alexis" Answered Maia, waving to her.
"Call me Alex, it's more easy"
"Okay. Is this place good?" Asked Maia curious.
"Good? This is the best orphanage of Pensylvannia! And one of the best of US, we're lucky to be here" Alexis smirked and they heard a ringing bell. "We must have dinner now, you come? Today we'll have chili with meat" The blonde spoke getting down of the bed and offering her hand to Maia. The brunette reached down of her bead and they walked to the dining room sitting together. A woman served two dishes with chili and meat for them; then they ate an apple together with chocolate chips and went upstairs to brush their teeth and sleep.
A month later, Maia and Alexis were playing hide and seek in one of the hallways of the orphanage, when Mrs. Wright called Maia. Immediately the little blonde went where the old woman was, curious about what she had called her.
"Maia, this is for you." Mrs. Wright handed her an envelope with a letter from Camila and the girl smiled wide, running to her room to read it, shouting thanks to the lady. After reading it, she dried her happiness tears with the sleeve of her cardigan. It was nice to know that her friend now was the Head Nurse at the Community Hospital and she had a boyfriend. Maia took a piece of paper, a pen and started to write to her friend, telling everything that she had lived up until then on the orphanage, Maia wrote about Alexis, Mrs. Wright, Ms. Hubbard (her English teacher), the other kids, what they did there, everything that she thought Camila must knew. Then, she put the paper in an envelope, wrote the adress of the woman and gave it to Mrs. Wright, who will mail it soon as possible.
Maia was used to live in the orphanage and went to the school what was there. Six months ago, she had a different live but now she didn't complain of where she was living. And what happened with Alexis. Now they were the best friends in the whole world, shared everything, even the nights between the arms of the other girl. They started to sleep together after three months of sharing room and also, they were girlfriends; but they didn't kiss in front of anyone, just they walked hand in hand everywhere and sometimes they hugged in public. In their bedroom they played to had a family with their stuffed animals and dolls, pretending that the room was their house and their toys, their family. Life was okay for them, but one weekend, everything seems to change when the Hastings marriage went to the orphanage and wanted to adopt Maia.
Hastings family was a small group: Peter and Veronica Hastings and their only girl, Melissa, who will become Maia's sister. They were English and lived in London, in a huge millionaire neighborhood. After searching in every England orphanage and taking advantage that they had to do a business trip on Piladelphia, they visited Rosewood's Orphanage, with a suggestion of one waiter of a expensive restaurant where they had dinner. Veronica liked Maia at first sight: she was cute, polite, well mannered, a bit skinny, looked a like to Peter and his wife and she had a perfect age: seven years. The only thing that they didn't liked was her name. If they will adopt her, she must change her name into Spencer, Spencer Jill Hastings. Maia accepted, excited to live in London and have a new life, but when she realized that Alexis won't be there with her, she felt a bit sad for that.
"You can't go to London Maia! I'll miss you so much and nobody will hug me if I'm sad as you do!" Alexis cried, hugging her girlfriend, who was crying hard on the blonde's shoulder.
"I must Alex, remember that I love you" The little brunette cried too, taking Alexis hands and kissed them, trying to be strong enough.
"I love you too... Mail me often" Comanded Alexis, making Maia nod and the brunette walked away.
"Uh-huh, I'll do, bye Alex" Answered Maia walking with her new parents, as Alexis cried, hugging the anorak of Maia, who give it to her as a sort of reminder of herself and their love. Maia had a ring of Alexis and she wore it often.
And with that goodbye on a rainy night, Maia, now called Spencer Jill Hastings, left the orphanage and US forever... At least she thought she would never again on her native country.
Alexis cried for days and she was sad. The days passed and anyone wanted to adopt her, until on a weekend in which potential parents went to see the children to the orphanage, Ashley Marin saw Alexis crying in a branch of a tree. The woman borrowed a small ladder, and with her arms hugged the little blonde girl tight, trying to make her stop crying. Suddenly, in that woman's arms, Alexis felt like in home. Mrs. Wright talked with Ashley, who wanted to adopt Alexis, with the condition that she must change her name into Hanna Marin, as she and her husband wanted. The old woman talked to Alexis, who agreed immediately.
A couple of weeks later, Ashley and Alexis (now called Hanna Marin) left the orphanage hand in hand, driving to Rosewood's rich people neighborhood: Bridgewater Terrace; where Ashley and her husband Tom lived for years. They were millionaire too, and now Hanna was ready to live a rich girl life as she always dreamed, but she didn't know that her new "parents" were planning to getting divorced... Also, she barely knew Tom and he knew Hanna barely too.
And Hanna soon will know that Tom Marin was a real monster and why...
