Abandoned

They left me

I was only 6 at the time. I knew alot of things, I went to school, so I knew maths, english, and sadness... My parents were arguing in their room. I was sitting in the living room- listening to every word
"It's not going to happen, I can't do it, she wouldn't like it." My mom had never sounded so stressed
"But we have nothing left. If we do this it'll be better for us-- for her." My dad on the other hand, always did.
This went on for hours. I think it came to a close when my mom said, "Fine. I'll do it," She was obviously in tears, "but just so you know, I will never forgive you for this." I heard her coming out of her room so I ran into mine. She came in my room and stared at me, tears rolled down her face. I didn't get this, why was she crying, my dad never made her cry. She walked to my wardrobe and took out my jeans and a tee-shirt. She fitted me into my clothes and picked me up, hugging me tighter than she ever did before.
"Maya, we're going on a trip, okay?" I could hear her stuttering in a weird voice. "You might not like it, but it's good for you."
Well, I assumed we were going to the park since she said it was good for me, but my mom knew I liked the park so it couldn't be.
About 2 hours passed. We were still in the car in the way to 'the place'. I asked several times for the destination, but every time I asked, my dad would just step on the pedal and make the car go faster and my mom would produce and tear every time I did. So I stopped. We arrived! I was never so happy, I was the first to jump out of the car, I ran straight forward and only saw a white building and a rock statue out front. An old lady walked out of the building and greeted my mom and dad politely. I looked into her eyes, she looked mean. My mom picked me up and hugged me for about 3 minutes. My dad did the same. They put me down and the old lady grabbed my hand and took me in. I screamed. Why were they leaving me. My mom tried running after me but a security guard held her back. Why. The old lady took me into a room with several other girls. I screamed at her, "Where am I?!"
"This is an orphanage." I prayed that this was just a nightmare. But no.
My parents. Had left me. At. A. Orphanage.
