Fall

Officially sisters

Today we were all at the court house. Now that both our sets of parents were gone, and we were minors we were legally orphans that needed to be either adopted or in foster care. But I still had one more legal adult to watch over me. So having no other friends aside from each other, she was already like a sister to me as my best friend.

 
Now starting today we would officially legally sisters. We all signed the legal papers that we were told to sign, then celebrated. Hurray we're finally related. We laughed and hugged and cheered. Does this mean we have to call you mom now? Not unless you want to. We brought all our stuff that we had and brought it to her house.

It would look as though she was planning to have us for a while now. Everything was set up like she knew this was going to happen. Everything was there like it had been waiting for us to arrive. The house itself wasn't really even that big, but it was still a nice house. Like a Victorian kind of home. Or vintage even.

Athena and I shared a room. Our beds themselves were actually ordinary bunk beds, where I had the bottom and she got the top. But the room itself looked like this (bedroom) it was so cool. We were officially related and moved in. Now all both of them wanted was myself and Justin together, and for me to start trusting people again.

That would take a long time. I had a a lot of work to do. Healing being 99.9% of that. The other .1% was getting the rest of my life together. Pick up the broken pieces. Figure out how Justin knew me, and become best friends again. Live out my dreams. Build walls around my heart. So that I could never be hurt again.

 
Only let those I trust to break them, but he would have to be worthy of my time and trust. To be patient with me and wait for me to tell my biggest secret. Not that it was much of a secret anymore after I announced it. In front of the entire school. But Justin didn't, he didn't really know me anymore, and I pretty much had no memory of ever being in his life.

 
There was one guy I really liked when I was younger, but I didn't think I'll ever see him again, he probably would think that I was dead. Even though yet somehow Justin thinks he knows me, but how could he he was a celebrity. I was a nobody, a nobody with a new sister, a new mother, a new home, and a beloved purple hoodie. And a secret admirer.

My life was hopefully just starting to come back together, hopefully for the better! Good night, good night parting is such sweet sorrow.
