A/N: I have absolutely no idea how kids are treated in homes like this! So don't say I'm wrong please! I just like amking things dramatic and interesting! Also this was originally two chapter made into one so thats why it's so long. I just thought that since they were very similar and close together in a timeline to just combine them into one chapter! See the bottom for my stupid Author's Note!

Casey POV

I was alone. Everyone was at dinner, but I didn't feel like trying to eat today. I had hardly eaten since I came to the girl's home, but I normally would put on a good act and try to eat. Sometimes the other girls would steal my food too. There was never enough food for everyone to have as much as they needed to eat.

I walked through the pale gray corridor and stopped at room 308. The music room. It was my favorite room in the whole building. I wasn't aloud to take music classes, because I didn't have any mental disabilities and they didn't have a ton of money to pay teachers for every girl that stayed here to have music. I opened the door and looked around. It was the most colorful and happy room in the building. The walls were painted brightly and there were posters and pictures up on the walls. I walked over to the teacher's desk and picked up a music sheet, it was the song Somewhere Over The Rainbow from The Wizard of Oz. I walked over to the piano next to the window and began to play. I was attempting to teach myself to play and it wasn't going very well. This song was the easiest that I had tried and I soon found myself stroking the keys effortlessly, not caring which one I hit in the least. I began to sing quietly the lyrics to the song the best I could multitasking wasn't my strong point. I didn't sound very good, but it was something and with practice maybe I would get better.

I stopped singing and my thoughts drifted to somewhere over the rainbow where the Cullen family was. Were they thinking of me? I certainly hoped so. I remembered all of their faces and they flashed quickly through my head and thoughts as I continued moving my tiny hands across the ivory keys, forgetting about singing. I missed the Cullen family so much. Nobody understood me. They didn't understand how someone as alone and heart broken as me could still love, but I did. Every time I thought about them I felt like someone had stabbed me in the heart wit the sharpest knife in the world, or maybe it was more like a sword not as sharp but left a bigger wound and a bigger scar on my heart. My life was nothing but black roses and black thoughts. I was completely alone with no one to turn to and no one to love me.

I stopped playing and began to sob harder than ever on the piano. As I folded my arms and leaned onto the piano I heard a loud clang of multiple notes and I didn't care. I wasn't going to stop crying for a long time and nothing was going to stop me. I was heart broken and torn apart inside and I was finally letting it all out.

I heard the door creek and I didn't look up to see who it was. I didn't care if they hit me or yelled at me again and again! Nothing mattered anymore. Nothing at all. I was aware that I was not alone and whoever was in there had sat down next to me and wrapped their cold arms around me and began to sway lightly, the first form of any comfort I had felt in a very long time. I looked up to see who could actually be comforting me. I was in shock! I saw a familiar face as pale as the clouds with big dark eyes as black as the vicious night.

"Alice? Oh Alice is it really you?" I cried throwing my arms around her and hugging her as tight as possible. Was I dreaming or had I really found my way over a rainbow and back into a world where I could be with my very best friend and sister again.

"Oh Casey it's really me!" She cried hugging me back tightly. She was so cold, but I didn't care in the least as long as she was really there holding me. I sobbed even harder than before and Alice stroked my back and rocked me gently not saying a word waiting for me calm down.

"I can't believe it's really you," She whispered right into my ear, "I never thought I was ever going to see you again."

I calmed my self down and pulled away from her slightly, keeping a firm grip on her not letting her leave me alone again.

"Oh Alice I hate it here," I said still crying slightly and shaking with joy. She took her tiny hand and wiped the last tears from my eyes still holding me and rocking me.

"It doesn't seem to be a happy place," she giggled a little.

"Trust me it's not they hit me and stole all my pretty clothes and everything!" I exclaimed throwing my arms back around her waist, trying to keep from sobbing again. I just couldn't believe it Alice Cullen my sister and best friend was really here after all this time!

"I won't let them hurt you ever again," she soothed, "do you want to come home? The others are waiting, they wanted to do this the right way, but I had to come and find you myself."

"The others, everyone?" I asked smiling

"Well Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, and I are here the others are at home waiting to hear from us and you," she explained laughing a bit probably at the expression on my face.

"Can we go and see them, please?" I asked putting on the puppy dog eyes.

"Of course Casey, anything you want," She said gently kissing my forehead.

She stood up and I jumped from my seat taking her cold hand in mine and holding it so carefully as if I wanted to make sure she was really real and not a figure of my over-active imagination. We didn't talk much as we walked I stopped and showed her where my room was. She was appalled when she saw it so tiny for so many girls. As we made the final turn I saw them. My real family, not visions this time the real people that loved me. I let go of Alice's hand the first time since I realized it was her and started sprinting as fast as a bullet, as fast as I could go toward my family. Esme who was sitting turned and looked at me. Her hand went to her mouth and she started running toward me. I jumped and she caught me spinning me around in circles as the other members of the Cullen family that had come to get me came over. Rosalie kneeled down and I ran for her and she held me and I knew that I had been stupid to think they didn't love me, because they really truly did.

After I had hugged and kissed everyone I noticed that all the girls had been watching the reunion between me and my family. I smiled mockingly at the girls that had mocked me and my love for the Cullens. Mrs., Hewitt was walking over and I grabbed Esme's hand and hide behind her. I saw everyone turn to look at Alice when I did this.

"You are the Cullens aren't you; have you come to visit Casey?" She asked not hiding the fact she was annoyed.

"No actually, we are interested in adopting her," Carlisle spoke and I beamed at him.

"Oh really, well please come in here and we can discuss this. Casey will you please return to your room, as you know the rules and will be punished for defying the rules." That terrible woman said and I knew what she meant. I would be hit. I whimpered quietly and began to walk off in the direction of my room where my punishment awaited me.

"No, I mean, umm. I want her to be part of the decision making process in this." Esme spoke up. I ran and stood between Esme and Rosalie.

"Thank you," I whispered

An hour of fighting the dreadful Mrs. Hewitt later we all emerged from the office area. I was ecstatic! I was going to join the Cullen family and be a legal Cullen. I felt as I had taken flight and soared right over that rainbow!

Esme POV

I was in disbelief. I never thought or even dreamed of holding her again. Rocking her gently to sleep, as we drove on the long dirt driveway back to our house. Her arms were wrapped tightly around my waist as she leaned her little head up against me and I kept my arms around her to rubbing her back gently. I couldn't believe she was really my daughter. I thought of the others as my children, but Casey was legally mine. A legal Cullen. Her name was now Casey Cullen and I thought it suited her well. She had told us all of the terrible things that the people at the girl's home had done to her. Hit her, destroyed her property, and nearly starved her. She was so much thinner, so thin that it seemed impossible that someone could have lost so much weight in the time she was away from us. She was coughing a little, but Carlisle had told us not to worry that she was probably fine and if it got any worse he would check her.

When we parked the car Emmett and Jasper shot onto the front porch and looked at us. Casey was sound asleep and I descended from the car last carrying her in my arms. The two boys were at my side in an instant and I smiled at them softly. Emmett took her in his big arms and carried her inside and she began to stir from her peaceful sleep.

"She's waking up!" Emmett exclaimed ignoring the fact that we could all see that.

"Emmett Jasper is that really you?" She asked rubbing her big baby blue eyes that I loved.

"It really is," Jasper said actually beginning to cry softly in joy.

"Hey little sister," Emmett said giving her a classic Emmett The Bear hug. She giggled in her little voice that made my world keep on going around.

"How you doing, Case?" Jasper asked assessing her picking up the weight loss and bruises my motherly eyes had zoomed right to.

"I'm ok they were really mean to me though Jazzy and I missed you so much!" She cried and wrapped her little arms around Jasper who was now sobbing just as much as her. I could see Emmett was having problems controlling himself also.

"What did they do to you squirt?" Emmett asked naturally concerned for the well being of his new little sister.

"Let's not talk about that now, how about we watch one of your old movies before bed?" I said giving a warning look to the two boys.

"Okay, but I have one question," Casey explained

"Okay what is it?" Rosalie asked.

"Where's Edward?"

"Oh he's in the shower he'll be right down in about umm 5...4…3...2...1" Alice said and as she spoke sure enough Edward joined us his bronze hair sopping wet.

"Hey Casey," he said slipping his arms awkwardly around her hugging her gently still terrified of hurting her.

"Now that we're all here what movie do you want to watch Miss Casey Cullen?" Jasper asked her using her new last name.

"The Little Mermaid!" She said blushing a light pink color and giggling slightly.

"Okay," Carlisle said as he walked over to the place where her movies were stored and then continuing to put in on the TV

Casey fell asleep about half way into the movie, her tiny head on a pillow in my lap with her blonde curls that had grown a good inch since we last saw her fanned her angelic perfect face. We didn't move her until the movie was over and by then it was very late. Jasper carried her to her room that nobody had entered since she had left that terrible day and we all followed him. Rose and I pulled down the bed spread and sheets as Jasper placed her in bed very carefully. We all stared at her for a moment perfectly could asleep in her own bed, finally. Nobody could believe she was actually ours forever and ever.

Everyone had gone downstairs or into their own rooms until I was the last one standing in the doorway to my daughter's room. She gently rolled over in her sleep and muttered the words "a legal Cullen" in her sleep and I smiled turned her lights of and went to my own room letting my precious daughter enjoy her sweet dreams.
