"I know, Marella. I just can't help but to sometimes think, 'what if I just someday suddenly disappeared', you know? I mean, my real parents never wanted me. Alden and Della didn't fight for me, and neither did Biana or… or Fitz, they never argued to keep me. And Grady and Edaline? I love them, really, but… their life was so hard without Jolie, and then I come in. Let's face it, it's not like they even really wanted me in the first place. Alden and Della wanted to get rid of me… and they made up an excuse and threw me to Grady and Edaline." I paused, taking a deep breath.

"You know you're loved, right?" Marella's normally strong voice was soft and caring as she asked that question.

"I- I know. And They've told me too. Dex also- hold on Marella, I heard something." I whispered the last part.

After I said Dex's name, I swore I heard something growl. I crept around the corner, stuck my head out… and saw nothing. I brought the phone back up to my ear again, "Sorry?"

Marella whispered, "What was it?"

I laughed it off, "Nothing, I guess. You can stop whispering." I changed the topic. "Anyway, when are you coming to school?"

She knew me well enough to know that when I changed the subject, that was it, so she answered in a 'duh' tone, "In two hours, when school starts. Why do you always go to school early anyway? There's nothing for you there."

I sighed leaning against the lockers, "There's nothing for me at home either. Or anywhere really…"


Hi, so I'm just going to put this AN in a bunch of stories and... well, I just reread all of my stories and now I want to continue some of those, so I'll probably write them tomorrow. When I post this, don't expect an update immediately. Not even within a few days. maybe a week or so. I am posting this to notify you all that I will START writing again, and I also reread a lot and found a lot of typos and errors. So, yeah. These are the stories I want to continue and... yeah.

AN WILL BE DELETED ONCE CHAPTERS ARE UP, BECAUSE AN'S ARE HORRIBLE WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING FIVE CHAPTERS AND THERE ARE ONLY FOUR BECAUSE THERE ARE AN'S AND UGGHHHH
