Chapter 1
I was five years old when my parents died in a car accident. I had a very high fever and was in the back of the car drowning in my own sweat. My mom and dad were rushing to get me to the hospital I was strapped on tight to my seat . It was raining hard that night I told my dad not to rush put he kept saying to relax and to keep quite.
He never listened and neither did my mom, they both turned to look at me and as they turned back to look at the road the car in front of us had stopped and the next thing I knew the car started to spin, then we were tumbling down a hill and into a deep lake.
All of a sudden everything went black and I thought that I was dead till I woke up to the pain in my body,Iwas in a hospital bed when they told me my parents were dead, and that me surviving was a miracle and that I should be thankful for that because not many people survive things like this. So the thing is I have been living in an orphanage for almost ten years in a half and no one wants me and it makes me feel very bad. Most people pick babies and 1-3 year olds and never the big kids but I have made some friends sort of well maybe just one friend her name is Shannon.
"Hey, why are you still in bed? You know what happens today birthday girl!" She said happily as a smile started to form on her face.
"Hum, five more minutes, please?" I said very drowsy and tiered
"No no no. You have to get up we have to celebrate, now come on lazy" she said in a hurry
"Fine, I’m up I’m up...." I said still tiered and not moving from my bed.
"Good, now hurry up and get dressed." she said very happy.
So with that said she got her stuff and she went to the bathroom to start her shower. I got my clothes and then looked at my calendar and it was September 25th and it was my 15th birthday, and it's a saturday. GREAT. I never liked my birthdays and my friend new that she, just doesn't know why, and it’s because my parents died on my birthday.
I got my white and black vans and my black shorts that go under my knee and a red and white top. After I put my clothes on I fixed my hair in a half pony tail. After I was finished Shannon got out of the shower with a towel wrapped around her body. I quickly got up and went to the bathroom and closed the door to brush my teeth and to wash my face. As soon as I finished washing my face there was a pounding at the door. It had to be Shannon.
“Hey, can you finish up in there I really have to go to the bathroom." She said with a desperate voice.
"Okay, I’m done gosh." I said really happy as I came out of the bathroom.
"Thank you for coming out, now please move."She said very fast and dancing on the way into the bathroom.
She slammed the door so hard and I just started to laugh so hard that she was starting to laugh too. When she got out she was still laughing, and once she was done we headed down stairs and met with the instructors. They all wished me a happy birthday but they knew that I never liked to celebrate my birthdays.

"So, what do you think about when you don’t talk jenny?" said Shannon eating her breakfast and staring at the new couple that just walked in with a little girl and baby boy.
“Nothing just about how cool it would be if I had an actual family that loves me for me." I said sadly but it was the truth
"Yeah, I guess you’re right. What are you going to do for your birthday?" she said happily.
“The truth I have no idea. What do you think I should do?" I said looking at my food.
“Hey, the couple is coming this way stay calm..... dun dun dun." She said sarcastically and then started to laugh of course I also began to laugh. So when she stopped laughing I realized that it wasn’t because she didn’t think it was funny anymore it was because the couple was heading towards me. When they got to our table they asked to sit down.
"Yes, of course you can sit down." I said nervously. No one has ever gone up to me and ask to sit with me I just didn’t know what to do.
"So what are you guys talking about." said the women with a smile on her face.
"Oh... um... just about what I’m going to do for my birthday." I said as I looked at her. She had to be in her mide twenty's.
"Oh, when’s your birthday?"She asked
"Um... actually mam' today is my birthday."I said
"Wow, how old are you turning?" She asked
"I am turning 15 today."I said
“How come you don't seem happy about it?" She asked
"Um... I have personal reasons."I said “My name is Jennifer by the way." shaking her hand.
“Nice to meet you Jennifer my name is Angel and this is my Husband Mike and my daughter Samantha and my baby boy named Jack.” she said as I shaked every ones hand.
"Hi, it's nice to meet you all and this is my best friend Shannon." I said as I looked over at Shannon
"Well it’s nice to meet you to Shannon."she said as she shook Shannons hand.
"Its nice to meet you to ...... uuuh..." Shannon said with a nervous voice
"Oh sorry its Mrs.Benson dear." She said happly
"Nice to meet you Mrs.Benson" She said as a smile started to form on her face.
"Well, we have to go and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" She said as she got up from her chair.
"Thankyou, and have a nice day." I said looking at Mrs.Benson as she closed the door on her way out.I turned to look back at Shannon who was looking at me suprised and scared. I have no idea when we started to talk because it felt like a life time since we talked. As I finished my breakfast I looked up to see her she hadn't touched her food since the family left.
"Hey, are you okay?" I asked very worried
"Yeah, It's nothing. Don't worry about it." She said not looking at me when she said that.
"Don't tell me that I can see right through you,and I know that somthing is bothering you, What is it?"I said very concerned about her.
"Okay, fine, Its about what that family was doing here talking to you." She said finaly looking at me with such sad eyes.
"What about them, Shan? I mean nothing is wrong with them." I said trying to cheer her up.
"You don't see it,do you? You don't see that they might consider adopting you." She said still looking at me with her sad eyes and I could see that she didn't want me to leave her.
"They wont, they were just being friendly that's it." I said tying to confort her.
"Okay then, why would they ask you questions then? Can you explain that?"
" No, But if they do adopt me then we can write to each other all the time."
"Yeah, but it wont be the same as having you here it would be different."
"Well, I guess we will have to find out."I said wondering myself.
