thanks for all you reviews and ideas. I'm considering you thoughts and working on where to take this story from here. Please R&R. :)

I said," I want to come home."

Annie and Dad and Aunt Alex came in.

Dad said," This is your home, Sarah. I want to give you the kind of life that you always deserved."

I was getting more and more frustrated. I said," The life I have was the life that you gave me. You are the one who left us without any money and no way to support ourselves. I never deserved the life I was given, but you are the one who gave it to me, not my mom, and certainly not my brother. They gave up every thing for me. The only thing you ever gave up was me."

I tried to walk away, but Annie took my arm and said," Please, don't walk away from us."

I said," You're the ones who walked away." I walked downstairs and out to Lucy and Kevin's apartment.

I didn't think they were home, but Lucy had come back and was sitting on the bed watching tv.

I said once I saw her," Sorry, I didn't know you were home."

I started to walk back out, but she said," No, Sarah wait. What's wrong?"

I sat down on the bed beside her and said," I want to go home, back with Aunt Susan, but no one will let me."

She said," I don't want you to go. I know you miss you home, but I would miss you if you were gone."

I said," I know, I would miss you too, but I miss my mom. I want to go back to where I was raised. I never really had the chance to say good-bye. I just want to go home."

Lucy said," I'll go with you."

I was stunned," You want to go with me. You do know where I'm from right?"

She said," I know you didn't have an easy life, and I want to give you the chance to say good bye. I want you to be happy here."

I said," But dad and Annie won't let me."

She said," I'll talk to them, but you have to promise that you will come back without fighting when our time there is up."

I asked," How long will I have."

She said," two weeks."

I said," Okay. I promise to come back willingly at the end of two weeks."

Lucy said," Okay, I will talked to dad and Annie. Stay here and watch TV, and I'll go talk to everyone."

I watched TV and Lucy left.

She came back a few minutes later with dad, Annie, and both my aunts.

Lucy said," They all agreed that I could take you home for two weeks. We're going to stay at Aunt Susan and you can show me around."
