"That's my chicka!" Kat said smiling. They both went downstairs, right when the door bell rang.

Aria ran over and answered it. A policeman stood in the door way.

"Are you Ariella Davies?" The man asked. Aria heart felt like it would thump through her chest.

Chapter 14-

"Y-yes." She answered. The police officer look at her pitifully. Kat and Charles were right behind her.

"I'm officer Garrett I'm afraid there's been a car accident."

Aria's eyes went wide and she immediately knew it was her family. "Was anyone hurt?" She asked, fearing the answer. He hesitated before answering.

"Your father was dead by the time the ambulance got there. Ashley Davies is in a coma and her spine is severed, she may never be able to walk again. Your brother Adam has a few broken bones but he's fine. Their car flipped and rolled down a hill. " He finished sadly, he looked as if he was expecting her to start sobbing any minute.

"What about Ava?" Aria asked confusedly.

"And Mrs. Davies?" Charles asked.

Kat looked at Aria and took her hand, preparing to comfort her.

"Your mother was arrested for drunk driving and the baby was checked out of the hospital and entered in the adoption center." He said as something came in on his radio.

"Your will also be moved back to the adoption center again." He said, in a rush.

"Again?" Kat and Aria asked at the same time.

"Yes, when you were a two years old you were adopted by Davie and Melissa Davies. An officer will be here in an hour and a half to take you. I suggest you pack." He said , going back to his police car.

"Wait! What about Ashley and Adam?" Aria said in a panic.

"Ashley Davies is not a minor. But Adam is. Once he is healed he will be entered into the adoption center as well. I offer my apologies to you and your family." He said with a compassionate smile and got into his car and drove away.

Aria looked as if she was going to faint. "Oh my..." She said faintly.

"Aria, before you start to panic, i'll visit you every day, and maybe I can get Jacob to visit you, and I can talk my parents into adopting you! Or maybe when the Cullens get back they'll adopt you!" She said in a big rush, her eyes wild.

"I'm fine Kat, I think you're the one who is panicking. I just can't believe I was adopted." Aria said quietly. A small part of her was sad that her"father" died and that Ashley would never be able to walk again, but she pushed the feeling away, not wanting to feel anything. She just wanted to be numb. Her eyes watered.

"I'm very sorry miss. Though I have to say, i'm glad you weren't with them. You've always been my favorite." Charles said gently. "Would you like to eat still?"

Aria nodded and Charles went into the kitchen to finish cooking. Kat hugged Aria tightly.

"Everything's going to be fine. Don't worry. Your dad won't be able to hurt you anymore." Kat said, rubbing her back.

Aria pulled away, sniffling. "I should pack."

"I'll help." Kat said smiling, and they went upstairs.

Half an hour later

Aria sat on the doorstep with her suitcase and another bag of Ava's things, after saying goodbye to Charles and Kat. Charles had gone up to his room, and Kat had gone home, both knowing Aria wanted to be alone. She was worrying about what her life would be like. She was glad she would be in the same house as Adam (who wasn't as mean as Ashley but had his moments) and Ava. She hoped she wouldn't get adopted by someone as terrible as her last parents had been.

Her train of thoughts continued until they were interrupted by the police car with two policemen pulled up, and after helping her with her luggage, they all went in the car and drove off, with Aria wondering how everything could possibly work out.
