"Mom!" Morgan said alittle louder then she intended "mom there's something that I have to tell you"
"What is it dear? Are you hurt? or in trouble?"
"No mom it's nothing like that it's just...well this is really hard for me to say because I do miss you and Dad and Mary K. but I feel that this is something I have to do."
"Morgan what is it that your saying exactly?" her mother said wanting her to get to the point.
"Mom I want to stay here," Morgan blurted out before she lost her nerve "I mean I love you and I do want to see you but my birth mother's friends are here and I would like to get to know them so I can know my birth mom better plus I've really got a talent for herbal medicine and they would like me to study more. But I really and truly feel that I need to be here."
"No." The answer was so low that Morgan almost didn't hear it. "No Morgan I can't allow you to stay. We have sent you for the summer and now it's time to come home. Besides what about school? What about Bree and Robbie? Won't you miss them? What about us? What are we supposed to do just give you up forever? Never see you again? I don't think so Morgan you are only seventeen your still a child and when you've finished highschool thn you can go back but not until then!"
"Mom," Morgan cried "Don't you see I don't want to come back! There is something about here that makes me feel alive that makes me feel.
I don't know how to put it but I feel different over here, a good different. And yes I will miss you, dad, Bree, Robbie, and Mary K. but this is something I have to do now I can't wait until next year. I know your worried about high school but I can do it over the internet and still get my diploma while still studying here."
"Morgan, I have made my decision and I want to see you coming off that plane in a week that's final!"
"But I don't-"
Before she could finish she heard the dial tone and at that moment knew that she wasn't going back.
