Prologue
She knew this is what she needed to do. She didn't want to but she had to. Rain fell and lighting struck, thunder roared as she took the back roads, carrying her precious basket.
She couldn't help the tears that fell from her pink cat-like eyes as she caught sight of the orphanage doors. She placed the basket on the front steps and pinned a note to the sleeping baby's blanket.
She rang the door bell and looked back one last time at the little boy. "One day I'll come back for you and we can live like normal people. I'm so sorry." she whispered to her son as she walked away.
The baby opened his eyes that were the same piecing blue as his father's. He started to whimper as he heard his mother's footsteps getting quieter as she walked away.
A moment later the large wooden doors opened revealing the caretaker of all the orphaned children. She sighed for this wasn't the first time a baby had been left on these steps; in fact, it wasn't even the tenth. But she picked but the basket anyway reading the note as she stepped inside and closed the door.
Pleas take care of my son and make sure he stays safe until I can come back for him. His name is Andy West. His birthday is February 13. Thank You.
Miss Hannah, the caretaker, took Andy to the nursery where the other four babies that had been abandoned slept. All together there were 19 children staying at the Jump City Orphanage, all ranging from newborns to teenagers. Once the child turned 16 they were asked to leave to make room for the younger orphans. Andy was nothing special in Miss Hannah's eyes. She was sure his life would be hard but she did everything she could for these kids but they were told the truth from the start. They were damaged children whose parents either were to poor and lazy to take care of them or just didn't want them.
From the minute these children were brought there, they were told there were unwanted. And every single one of them believed that. That was until Andy West came.
