Maranda POV
When I was seven my parents died and I was left at A orphanage By my aunt she told me that she loved me but she was to sick to take care of me Just three years ago is when I Lost hope of her ever coming back to see me for years we were sent cards or she would at least call but then I don't know her she had called me in three years so I called around to her friends and people I knew that she still had contact with and it turned out she died the one person other than my nieces and my little sisters that I have left gone without notice without question Vanished into thin air I guess what that's what I get for ruining everything I touch so without thinking I took a walk I bought my sketchbook and started sketching things from movies and shows that I have watched throughout my years at the orphanage and then this woman came up to me and asked if I was lost She looked familiar but she had glasses on she saw my sketchbook and asked me what I was Drawing I said one of my favorite characters on the show she said what show I said Supergirl she asked what character I Lena Luther she said what about that character interest to me and I said the fact that she doesn't give up no matter how many people are against her she fights against her family and that what's makes people trust her and that she doesn't need her last name to define who she is She asked if she can see my sketchbook I said yes and gave it to her she complimented my drawings and then asked me my name I said Maranda we talked for a minute and then she asked me where my parents were I froze and suddenly started crying at the side of my crying she looked at me all I could do is say I have to go before I go she asked me where I lived I said at the orphanage Bay-wood orphanage We said goodbye

Maranda POV
I was sitting in my room flipping through photo albums that my aunt gave me when she left and going through letters that she sent every day after she left and remembering photos that we took at visit And family reunions but one for that caught my eye was my mom and my aunt at the hospital before my dad came she was the first one in my family to see me and hold me and the fact that she's gone still hasn't hit me I start crying when I hear my name called my full name I've never had my Full name called and I was I was in trouble and that was never I ran downstairs to see Miss world talking to a woman and her husband I looked confused I couldn't remember the last time someone was in here The voice of the woman sound familiar like I heard it before Miss world And the woman and her husband went into the room I didn't get it at all she called me down just to leave me standing there wondering who that was and what they were doing here soon I what is joined By my best friend Kathleen As we were sitting there all the kids asked what was up they knew I would never get in trouble So they knew I was leaving after about 20 minutes miss word came out and sat me down and told me that I was getting adopted I ask her who was that woman and she said Miss McGrath I froze and thought it can't be then she told me to go pack which was going to take forever because I had a lot of stuff I have my laptop that my aunt got me before she left and a big frame of a photo of me and my mom and the rest of the photos I had I decided to take out of the frame and put in a book and I label the book don't touch because these guys do not need to know who my family is but if they do if I tell them what happened to them I won't be able to trust them But maybe one day I will be ready to tell them So I start packing

Maranda
I don't know if I should sneak out or ask for permission but if I want to use the car I have to ask for permission so I went downstairs and asked Katie or shall I say mom if I can go to my friends house she asked what phone I said Max she said how is max I said my boyfriend she said OK I was surprised that she didn't ask anymore questions like where there be alcohol And will you be doing drugs because she trusted me wait till she finds that she can't God I should've told her I want upstairs got dressed in a really skimpy Rose gold dress for my hair into a high ponytail And put on black heels
After I was done I went downstairs so goodbye got my keys and went to max
Katie POV
Right now I don't know what to do she just left in a really skimpy dress to meet up with her boyfriend I don't know if she is sexually active or not but by the looks of it or not she's doing drugs and drinking I asked Melissa to spend the night and she said yeah I wanted some reinforcement when she got home so if she did come home high or drunk I had someone about me carry her up to her room
Melissa POV
Katie asked me to spend the night because she was worried about Maranda she just left to see her boyfriend and Katie does not know the guy so I understand why she's worried on the other hand doesn't know if she's sexually active or if she does drugs or drink so as a new mother that brings up some worries
Three hours later
