~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~Prologue~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Flight 357 non-stop to Alberta will take off in 15 minutes. Please have your seats in the upright position and your seatbelts buckled." I heard over the intercom as the plane started off the runway a solitary tear trailed down my face. When we could move about in the plane I took out my journal and started to write. "I can't believe they both just up and left me. I thought that we were gonna take care of each other since mom died. He was supposed to take care of both of us. You shouldn't have left me" The tear stains were smudging the ink on my journal page. I put my journal up and walked to the bathroom. I looked at my self in the mirror I am about 5'3", not heavy set but not super model skinny, with apple gold hair to my mid-back in a loose braid, my turquoise eyes were sparking even more since I had tears welled up inside them.  I've learned that you can't cry over every situation, and now the only time I cry is when I think of my family, especially my little sister. She was only two years younger then me, so she should have had some sense, but she insisted on going out into the street, and getting her stupid basket ball.  Little did either of us know that the maniac that got drunk at 2 in the afternoon would come barreling down our residential street at that moment. She fought for her life for 6 months then my dad signed the forms to pull the plug. "I knew she wanted to go to heaven but I still need her here" I whispered to my reflection. My dad promised both of us the day my mom died that he would always be there. Well to my surprise I answered the phone one day and the other line said

"Is this Elizabeth Davidson?"

"Yes, May I ask whom is calling"

"This is Mrs. Ashley, you need to pack up a weeks worth of clothes and personal items and be ready to leave in an hour your father left you as a ward to the state".

"A ward of the WHAT! You have got to be kidding me I can't be a ward of the state!  I have a father who is very good to me and would never abandon me!"

"Yes, anyways, your father stopped by at 3:30 this afternoon and told us he could no longer take care of you and where we could get a hold of you."

"What is the reason he gave you to just leave me!?!"

"He said 'She's a great girl and no trouble but I need to pay attention to my job and can't be bothered with worrying about my daughter and I know you can take care of her better then I could.  I'm sorry Hun but you need to be ready in an hour you can come back later for all of your other things."

I then slammed down the phone and fell down on the couch gasping for air and my reason of mind. "'Can't be bothered with her!?!?!?!  Am I that much trouble?!?"  Well now I'm on a plane for Degrassi Alberta, it seems that I have a long lost godmother who lives there. Well, at least we have a break so I'm not put right into school. I leaned back in my seat and yawned.…. I had not gotten much sleep in the orphanage that they put me in. I felt the need to stay up with a two year old with the chickenpox. I just love children and can't bear to see them in any discomfort.
