Orphanage Hopes

I looked up. A girl. And a pretty one. How embarassing. And I didn't even get her question. My consience rolled it's eyes. "What?" I asked, wiping away the last of the tears and sticking the embroidered handkerchief in my pocket.

''Why are you here?''She asked pulling her hair out of her coat... and fixing it to look nice or as she would say hot.

I looked down. "My-my parents......died." I whispered the end bit. That made it final. I hadn't really believed it, but now the reaility sank in. They were dead. Done. No more.

''I am sorry.''She said looking at him...She didn't want to pry any further so she stopped.

Another tear ran down my face. I fingered my mother's wedding ring and slid it on to my right index finger. That comforted me a little bit. It felt as if I was a little boy, and Mother was holding my hand again. I drifted off into memories, and then started to cry once again. My face covered by my hands, I reached into my pocket to grab the handkerchief. I wiped my face once again and put it back inside the warm pocket.

Brook looked at him ....''You could leave write now and they would never come looking for you. But once you walk inside it is like prison I have tryed 12 times and succeeded but then they always find you and make you come back.''Brook told him.

"I can't leave." I said, sniffing up some snot. How unattractive.

''Uh why? I would love to leave!''

"Where would I go?" I asked her. Grand-mama and grand-papa were too busy with the evil twins to have me, and my aunts and uncles were dead. There was no one. This was my last chance. Or go live on the street.

''You think everytime I escaped I had somewhere to go? I didn't I stayed in a tree house that I made when I was five years old.Steel food from this crappy place...I have money saved.It wouldn't be that hard we could both leave this mess.''Brook told him looking down.

"I don't think I should." I said firmly, imagining my parents disapproval and punishment. Or now it would be grand-mama and grand-papa. Tears formed in my eyes but I wiped them away.

Brook thought this guy was extrememly hot but the tears where very unattractive. Brook looked at him ...''Well then stay here in this crappy place that don't care about you at all. And acttully hope you would kill your self or you would run away but they have to go looking for you other wise they could get shut down. They treat you with no respect.''Brook said standding up.

"I don't believe you." I stated. My friend had been here before he was adopted and he said it was wonderful. I wouldn't believe her. I just wouldn't.

(G2G)

Brook shook her head find don't. She said walking back inside. Brook gave everyone dirty looks as she walked in. She layed down on her bed.

[Will you be back later?]

(RP anyone?)

(I'm back now. )

I sighed. I had been so close to making a friend, but she blew it by saying we could have left. Anyways, I had to at least spend a week here before deciding that. I couldn't judge this place by looks or what people say. I took a deep breath and walked inside. I walked to the room that said 'Head.' I guessed that this was where I should go first. I knocked on the door and it swung open. "Go to Boys 17." A man's voice said. "O-o-okay." I stuttered, closing the door behind me as I searched this giant orphanage for 'Boys 17.' I finally found it and walked inside. There was a few guys there, and one empty bed. The bed was musty and dusty, and I thought I saw mold. "Oh, no. I am not sleeping there." I stated. "Whatcha talking 'bout, dude? We sleep on the bunk beds. That's the garbage bed." I stared at him. "The garbage bed?" He laughed, and another guy answered me. "There's no garbage cans here. So we use that bed. They think it's infested so they only send one guy in here. But then he complains and leaves." The second guy sighed and chuckled. The third guy looked down. "It's a bit sad, actually. I'm Daren." He held out his hand. I shook it. "I'm Paul and this is Ghig.(jig)" The first guy told me.

Anthony had also fallen asleep. But when they hit the bump he woke up. He was aware that Amber had fallen to his shoulder.

(Last post of the last post, Mandy.)

Amber was still silently asleep and as they kept hitting bumps they made her keep getting closer to him.


Amber walked into the room and said ''Out of my way.''She said pushin through a bunch of girls. Her corner of the room was filled wiht gothic posters and one picture of her boyfriend that had died 2 years ago in a car accident. He was 18 when she was 16 so they said she could live with him but when he died off to the orphange she went. Maybe that was the reason that Amber hated this place so much. Amber felt that she would never find love again and she wouldn't let her self even if she did meet someone.Amber felt like that would be taking over his place and the only way she would ever be happy was with Lucas.

I walked out of the room after dropping off what I had brought to the orphanage. I was beggining to think that the girl hadn't been so far off by wanting to leave. Maybe I would try to leave with her. Maybe. I couldn't decide now. No. That was unacceptable.

(Be right back. Have to eat dinner.)

Amber layed down on her bed and stared at the picture of her and Lucas... Amber sometimes felt like he was there with her and imagined him with her. Amber's favorite part of the day was the night she would go to bed thinking about him and hoping to have dreams about him. Amber missed him and would give anything to have him back. That night she had a dream and Lucas was tellling her that she needed to be happy again and in love... Amber was telling him that she was happy and was in love with Lucas. Lucas then said I am gone. Amber suddenly woke up from the dream and looked around.

I walked to the lunch room to eat some dinner. I was starving. I walked up to the counter. Spaghetti was in the bowl. The lunch lady dumped a bunch on a plate and stuffed the plate in my hands. "Uh, thanks." I mumbled, as another kid shoved me out of the way to get some. I looked around for an empty seat beside someone but couldn't find one. So I sat by myself at a deserted table, hoping someone would come sit beside me.

Amber continued looking around and determined know one else was in the room. Amber stood up and then realized everyone was at dinner. She slipped on her converses and a plain black Tshirt over her tank top. Amber walked down stairs yawning she wasn't in the modd to eat. Amber then decided to sit with the guy from earlier. Amber walked over and sat across from him.

I slurped up a strand of spaghetti and the meat sauce splattered onto my face. I used my father's handkerchief to wipe it away. Then I noticed the girl. "Hi." I said, and smiled. "By the way, I'm Jared."
