Dean's Daughter

Adopted

Dani's P.O.V

Let me catch you up on everything that has happened. I'm 12 years old now, I'm still at the orphanage, Crowley still comes to visit me everyday, Gabe is still my best friend, and I still share a room with Christina and Alyssa. There aren't many kids in the house anymore. Ms. Gomez got married to her boyfriend Armando, He lives with us now.

I haven't heard from Dean. Not a letter, or even a post card, nothing at all. But I'm not worried my family is here, in the orphanage. Even Sarah comes and visits me every once in a while.

At school I still get bullied, and Gabe is still my hero. He still protects me. I do have more friends now and thats good I guess. They aren't or will ever be as close to me as Gabe is. I tell him everything good and bad. I tell him what I feel. He's the only person I can open up to.

I guess you say everything is okay, WRONG. Today I got home from school and there was a couple waiting for me at the orphanage. They said they wanted one girl. Let's do the math shall we? The only other girls left in the house are Christina and Alyssa and they refuse to be adopted unless they're with each other, the other kids are two are boys. That leaves me to be adopted. Wow, I hate math and logic so much.

By the end of the day I have to pack my bags and leave. The couple lives down the street so I could still see Gabe and Alyssa, but not Christina. She's in high school and I'm in 6th grade. I'm going to miss her so much.

At the house I have my own room. The lady, whose name I learned was Rosalind is very kind. She kept attempting to try to get me to eat but I kept refusing. I went to bed after two hours of Rosalind begging me to eat. I can't sleep knowing that I live in this house now. I'm so used to Christina snoring loudly and Alyssa telling her to shut up. I miss the way my room smelled like mint, and the way my bed was to long that my feet only went 3/4th of the way to the end. I want to go home.

I wake up hoping that getting adopted was just a dream. It's not. I know that all this couple wanted was a little girl to love and they got me. I'm going to be good for them. The best I can be. I go to the kitchen and Rosalind is cooking. She tells me good morning sets down a plate of scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast. "I know you won't eat it but I would like to think you would." She says. "Thank you." I say as I begin to eat my eggs. She smiles at me and pours me a glass of orange juice. I thank her again. I eat everything on my plate and walk to the sink and begin to wash my plate. "No worries sweetie, I'll do it. Just go on up and get dressed for school." She tells me. "Thank you." I say and head back to my room.

Today is Friday, which means Gabe and I walk across the street from the school to get smoothies on our way home. I decide to to wear a nice dress with my Converse. I brush my teeth and my hair and go find Rosalind to tell her good bye. I find her in the living room reading a book on the sofa. "Wow, that was fast. You look really nice." She complements me. "Thank you, I'm going to go to school I'll see you later." I say. "I could give you a ride if you want, I don't like the idea of you walking to school all by yourself." I agree to get a ride to school.

In the truck we have a conversation. She asks me about my life and how I ended up at the orphanage. Luckily we pull up to the school so I don't have enough time to answer her. "I guess we'll have to finish talking later. Have a good day sweet heart." She tells me. "I guess we will. You too, oh and before I forget I'm going to get smoothies with Gabe after school so he will walk me to the house." I say and open the door and hop out. "Wait who's Gabe? Is that your boyfriend!?" She asks. "NOOOO!" I yell and laugh.

"Boyfriend huh?" Gabe says. "Shut up." I warn him. "Who is that anyway?" He asks. "Her name's Rosalind. Her and her husband adopted me yesterday." I say flatly. "You got adopted! Way to go Dan! That's great." He congratulates me then notices my expression. "What's wrong?" "I didn't want to be adopted." I whisper. "I remember that's all you used to talk about." He said. "Well I changed my mind."
