Chapter 4
We finally made it back to the orphanage and I was shaking with nerves. What if they met me and decide they didn't want me. I can't have another family give up on me, I wouldn't be able to handle that again. I carefully stepped out of the car, I didn't want to have to walk into that office soaked with water because I tripped and fell into a puddle, that would make a horrible first impression. Once we made into the building I thought I might faint.
I grabbed Helens arm and pulled her closer towards me, " I don't think I can do this."
She gave me a sympathetic look and put her hand on my shoulder, " Melissa you are a wonderful girl and your so smart there isn't a reason why they wouldn't like you."
" My own parents didn't want me why do you think some strangers will?"
" Melissa these people are nothing like your parents if you give them a chance they will love you, and give you a great life."
I took a deep breath before I started walking to the office. When we were standing in front of the office door my stomach started churning and my hands started shaking so bad I couldn't open the door. Helen sighed and opened the door for me and pushed me inside, I peek out my lashes at the family and is shocked to see the beautiful family all sitting in the seats across from the desk. Helen pushed me into the empty chair next to a big guy with short brown hair, he looked over at me and gave me huge smile, I quickly looked away. I held the arms on the chair so tight my knuckles turned white.
"Melissa, this is Carlisle Cullen, his wife Esme, and their children, Alice, Rosalie, Bella, Edward, Jasper, and Emmett."
I looked over at them to see all of them looking at me with bright eyes and big smiles, It is so creepy. I looked at Helen to see she was trying not to laugh. Looks like I'm alone on this one.
I looked at the man named Carlisle and tried to give him a sad look, "Listen, I don't want to be rude but I don't think this is going to work."
I quickly walked out the room but not before I saw a angry look pass across Helen's face. I quickly walk to my room and sit on my bed and wait for Helen to come and correct me.
Maybe an hour later Helen walked in and sat on my bed with me, "Melissa, I know you don't like them but they already signed the adoption papers, and they are going to take you home with them in one hour, you should start packing your clothes." My mouth was hanging open as she walked out the room, I can't believe she just told me I didn't have a choice in any of this. I got up and walked to my dresser hoping not to brake out in tears. When I was done packing I slowly walked out to my room and hoped I would have a better life with these total strangers.
