Chapter 7
Casey POV
Dear Diary,
I have been living here at this children's home and detention center for officially one month. I can't stand it here any longer. I hate the way I have to live. I having to hide you and the other special presents the Cullens gave me at my early birthday party that now seems so distant, because the other girls or Mrs. Hewitt would take them from me. All the pretty clothes Alice gave me have been taken and given to the others. I hate having to do all the chores because the other girls don't want to do anything. I hate being hungry because the other girls ate all the food. I hate everything!
The other girls are so mean and terrible. Some of them are here because, like me, they don't have any parents or anyone to take care of them, but the others well there here because they are the worst girls in the world and can't be near their families or friends, because they are dangerous. The girl I shared a bunk bed with was expelled from every school in the state of New York. They all are absolutely dreadful! I am the youngest of ten girls I share a room with and they are very mean to me. The take my stuff and throw it around, but that's only when they aren't beating on me! I swear I am covered from head to toe in bruises! I really hate it here!
I never wrote in my diary or looked any of the many wonderful things the Cullen family gave me when any of the other girls were around. They would always take it and throw it or rip pages out of my precious diary that Jasper gave me at my birthday party. They were constantly destroying my letters to the Cullens, saying that it was a waste of time any way writing to them that eventually I wouldn't get any letters at all.
I used to get a letter from every member of my old family practically every day they would each tell me about a specific event or day, but then I got less and less and now nothing at all. I couldn't help, but think they were right with what they said about the letters but I still hoped and prayed that the Cullen family would write me back, as I wrote to them everyday hiding the truth about how terrible everything really was. When ever I doubted their love for me I would think about how much fun we had and how sad and depressed they had looked when I left with Mrs. Hewitt, but I was starting to forget just like all the others who said they didn't even remember their own real family anymore. I thought more and more trying to keep the memories I spent with the Cullens over this summer alive, but still I kept forgetting certain things. It was all slipping, I could barely remember my parents that had went to live in heaven with God now, and I was traumatized that the same would happen with the Cullens. Had Mrs. Hewitt actually been right when she said the Cullens didn't love me or even want me?
I walked over to my bed and sat down following the usual routine I followed and opened up to the page where the Cullen family had all written me letters before I left.
To my dearest sister Casey,
You will never know how much I love you and how much just you being in this house have changed me. The man you see standing in front of you today is not the man I was before your arrival. You have given me a new outlook on life and have showed me that there is good in the world even for someone with no hope like me. I will always be grateful to you for that!
I loved playing endless games with you. I will never forget the good times we shared playing outside with Emmett or having me teach you how to read and write. I know it made you made, but every time you stumbled over a word I couldn't love you more!
I'm going to miss you little sis when you leave and I hope you enjoy this diary and tell it all your secrets as it will not only help with your reading and writing, you can pretend your telling me everything just like you used to.
Remember that education will make you what you are and what you want to be so keep studying!
Love,
Jasper Hale
To My Darling Little Sister,
I can't believe you are actually leaving us. It seems like just last week when we brought you into not only our family, but our hearts. I really don't know how to put how much I love you into actual words. I honestly don't think there are words that can describe the way I care about you, Casey.
I hope you can remember all the good times, reading, watching movies, putting make-up on Emmett. So many good times! Why did they have to end?
I remember how quiet you were that first night and how no matter how hard we all tried you wouldn't talk at all? I do, and now look you won't stop talking!
We have had so man good times together! I will always think of you as my little sister for the rest of my life and even past that. I am going to be pushing the family to consider adopting you, but there are a lot of problems we would have to work out.
I love you, Casey and I always will!
With Unlimited Love,
Your Sister Rosalie
Dear Casey,
I want you not only to know that I love you as if you were my own daughter, but that you were the one and only thing that brought happiness into my family.
The Cullen household became a much happier place during your stay. Esme and Rose enjoyed so much taking care of you as did I. Alice and Emmett finally had someone at their own level to play games with. Jasper was completely and forever changed because of you and even Edward; though he was stubborn, saw the joy in the others, the light in their eyes. I love you very much and wish for you a good life in the future!
Sincerely,
Dr. Carlisle Cullen
To The Very Best Friend and Sister EVER,
I'm going to miss you sooooooo much after you leave! It is going to be terrible with out you! I hope you know I love you so much and that you are the best sister a girl could ask for, much better than Rose.
I am at a loss when it comes to thinking of my new shopping buddy, nobody was as fun to shop with as you actually you are the only one who was able to put up with my shopaholic ways! We had tooooo many good times over the summer in the mall! Shopping for everything under the sun and beyond! I'm really going to miss that!
Shopping isn't the only thing I will miss. I am going to miss your curly golden hair and your big bright blue eyes! I'm going to miss hearing you laugh and say my name. I'm going to miss reading and watching countless movies on rainy days! But, most of all I'm going to miss YOU!
We have done sooooo much together that I promise to never forget! I promise to write at least once a week and maybe visit you if Carlisle and Esme let me! I hope you have a good future ahead of you, Case. I hope that everything goes your way and I think I'll be happy if you never look back at your time with us, but also never forget. I LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH CASEY!
WITH LOVE FOREVER,
YOUR SHOPPING PARTNED ALICE!
XOXOXO…
Dear Casey,
Jasper wanted me to write some things about how much you mean to our family so here I go.
Casey, you defiantly are a very unique and special little girl and I know how much you mean to my family and how much they mean to you. You have changed them so much in the short time you spent with us! I am truly grateful for you accepting them into your life and you made what some of us had been dealing with a lot easier.
I also want to say I'm sorry for treating you so terribly but I thought by doing it I was helping everyone. Something that I am ashamed about doing to you please forgive me.
Sincerely,
Edward Cullen
To the coolest sister on the planet!

To My Darling Daughter Casey,
I love you so much! You have changed my life forever and I will never forget you. You were really my first child in a way and I will always be thankful for you helping me and understanding when I didn't do something right.
We had so many good times playing and having fun! You have such an imagination when it comes to the games we played! I loved every minute of it, every little game we played and every little thing you did!
I want you to know that I consider you my own daughter and that nothing will ever change that. Nothing will ever change the way we feel for each other. I love you so much; Casey and I know that you love me too.
It's going to be very hard going on and living without you. Harder than you will ever know, sweet heart. It's going to be hard for all of us as we all loved you and considered you a member of the family.
I hope that the future had many great things in store for you! That you accomplish everything you want in life. I want you to have everything you want and more. I love you so much and I'm going to miss you!
Love Your Mother,
Esme Cullen
