Willow POV
I stand infront of the bathroom mirror, trying to look my best.
Today a couple is coming to meet me. Maybe they will be my parents! I have waited 16 years for this moment.
I am in a foster home. 13 years ago, my biological parents left me here. Since then, no one came looking for me. No one wanted to be my parents. I saw kids come and go, but I stayed right here. 13 years long. I felt forgotten until Anna ( the lady from the foster home ) Said that there was a couple coming to see me and that they may be my new parents.
It is not that bad here, it's just that I want a family. A mom, dad, sisters or brothers. I never had that.
I take a few steps back and look at myself in the mirror.
"You look gorgeous, Willow" Anna says.
Anna feels like a sister to me. She always cares for me.
"Thank you Anna!" I smile but then my smile fades away.
What if they don't like me? What if they hate me? They are the first that ever came to visit me.
"They will like you, Willow. They'd be crazy not to"
Anna knows me like no one else does. It's almost like she is reading my mind.
"They will?"
"Of course! Now spin around for me, will ya"
I chuckle and spin around.
"Perfect! Now come with me, you can use writing to calm you down"
She pushes me out of the bathroom, towards a desk. She gives me my Notebook and a pen.
Writing has always been a thing that I love. It calms me down and I can write down my feelings. I write short stories and I even wrote a book. It's about my life. How I am waiting for someone to get me out of here and how alone I feel. How I wonder what my parents do for a living, if I look like them. If we have the same hobbies. One day I will find out. Maybe not today or tomorrow but some day.
Aria POV
Today is the day that I see my daughter again. Willow. Willow Rain Fitz. I missed her so much.
I got pregnant when I was in high school by my teacher, now husband. The whole 9 months my parents were supportive. When I gave birth to Willow, it was the most wonderful thing in the world. How she would stareup at me and I would get lost in her piercing blue eyes.
When she was about a week old, I got home from the hospital and layed her in her crib, right next to my bed. I fell asleep and so did she. I woke up the next morning and she was gone. I panicked. I ran downstairs, crying. I found my mom and dad eating breakfast. I remember it like it was yesterday.
Flashback
"Mom, Dad! Willow is gone!"
"We know that, sweetie" my dad says.
"What do you mean, we know that? What did you do?! Where is she?!" I say crying.
"We bought her some where save, don't worry honey. Sit down and eat breakfast" My mom says.
"No! What do you mean we bought her some where save?! Did you take her? Where is she?!"
"You Mother Said sit down!" My dad yells.
"No. I am going to pack my bags and leave. I can't even look at you!" I yell, crying harder.
End flashback
I packed my bags and left. Since then, i've been living with Ezra. It took us so many years to find out where she was and we finally found her. She is in a foster home in New York.
Although my parents did an awful thing, I forgave them, but they never told me where Willow was. They were to ashamed to face Willow.
"Honey, are you ready to go?" Ezra, my husband asks me.
"Yeah, you can wait for me in the car, I have to get the present for Willow"
"Okay, honey"
He turns to walk out the door.
We are only a few minutes away from where Willow is. We stayed in a hotel for the night so we wouldn't have to travellercheques that far.
I pick up the present that I bought for her. A notebook. I always loved it when I got a new one, maybe she likes to write too.
"Hello Mr and Mrs Fitz, I am Anna. It's nice to meet you" The lady behind the counter says.
"It's nice to meet you too, Anna" I say.
"Let me bring you to her. She is a little busy though, so maybe you can just watch her do her thing for a while" Anna says.
"That's okay, I would love to see what she likes to do" Ezra says.
She leads us to a sleeping room where only one girl is sitting. That must be Willow.
"There she is. If you have any questions, I am in the cafeteria"
I walk closet to her, until i've reached a bed. I sit on it and Ezra sits down next to me.
Now I can see what she is doing. She is writing.
Suddenly she tilts her head back up and turns her head to look at us.
I look into her eyes. The same piercing blue eyes. She smiles at us. Ezra and I look at each other and smile. She stands up and walks towards us.
"Hello, my name is Willow Rain something. I'm sorry I don't know my last name" She says.
"It's okay sweetie, I am Ezra and this is Aria" Ezra says.
She smiles.
"It's really nice to meet you" Willow says.
"It is nice to meet you too, Willow" I say. I hand her the present. "This is for you, I hope you like it"
"I can't take that"
"Yes you can. Aria bought it for you, she wanted it to be perfect" Ezra says.
She finally takes it. When she sees what it is, she smiles from ear to ear.
"Thank you so much! It is beautiful, I love it"
"No need to thank me"
"For how long have you been in here?" Ezra asks Willow.
"For almost 14 years now" she says, sadly.
"I am really sorry for that"
"No it's okay. You kind of get used to it. So is it okay if I ask you some questions?"
"Sure!" I say.
"What do you do for a living?"
"Well, Ezra is a teacher at Rosewood High. It is a school in the city we live in. I am working at an art gallery at the moment, but I love to paint myself and I am writing a book at the moment"
"That is so cool! I love to write!" When she says that her eyes are smiling "Do you have other kids?"
This time it is Ezra's turn.
"Yes we do have other kids. We have Hunter, he is our 9 year old boy, Tessa, our 7 year old girl and Julia, she is 1 year old"
She is about to say something but I am faster.
"You are going to meet them very soon!" I say. She gives me a confused look.
"What do you mean?"
"Well... if you are coming home with us, you are going to meet them!"
"Wait. So you are going to be my foster parents?" She asks.
"No. We are going to adopt you. We already love you Willow! You are welcome in our family. When I told Tessa that she might get a big sister, she was jumping up and down. Hunter was really happy to Because he would have another sister to protect"
She looks at us and Then smiles. She jumps up and hugs us. I can hear her crying.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have no idea how much this means to me!"
She pulls away and I wipe her tears away.
"We love you, Willow. We always will" I whisper.
Sooooo I hope you liked the first chapter! I wanted to do something different and I hadn't seen something like this so I thought that this would be fun to do. Please tell me what you think!
