My head hurt like shit, I mumbled getting up. My vision blurry and my head spinning. I hear birds chirping and squirrels nearby. Where am I? As my eyes adjusted to the bright light of the sun I found myself surrounded by lots and lots of tall trees. I was in a forest? What was I doing here? How did I get here? Millions of questions buzzing through my head. The last thing I remember was going out from the orphanage with a suitcase in hand and tears falling down my face. I'm in the middle of a forest with no idea how i got here with a massive headache...GREAT! JUST GREAT!! I groaned for the millionth time that day. My feet aching from all the walking. My body with fresh bruises and cuts. It was almost nightfall and I was exhausted. I sat on the ground leaning on a tree. My eyes felt heavy and I fell into a deep slumber. I woke up the next morning to a loud woof. A personal wake up call from the dogs, how sweet I muttered sarcastically. My stomach grumbled loudly. I'm so hungry I could eat a horse! I sat up in search for food and water. I strolled around for a while before I spotted a berry bush. I was delighted. I started collecting as many berries as I can and ate hungrily as I sat near a lake. The view was mesmerizing. I drank some water from the lake. It wasn't too bad. I can actually survive with this. I walked around to find a way out but all my hard work went in vain. I reached the lake I was sitting beside after hours of sprinting around. This was no use. Isn't this the part where a handsome Prince Charming sweeps me of my feet and rescues me? I guess not! I was furious how pathetic I am. How helpless I felt. Even if I manage to get out where would I go? Who would I ask for help? There was no one! No one! My own parents betrayed me and left when I was just a little toddler. I only have faint memories of them. I don't want to bother Ms.lucy anymore..she had done too much for me in the orphanage already. I didn't even have a single foster parent! While all the other kids got adopted I was always left alone. And eventual they lose contact with me. No one even wants to be my friend besides the sweet little kids. I love them a lot. I always buy them toys from the money I get from the part time job at cafe. I remember every month end when I get my salary I get then toys and they would get super excited. My eyes welled up with tears at that thought. I miss the kids so much. Especially Amanda...she is like my little sister. She was only 3 when I first saw her. I smiled at the memory. I started sobbing hard. That night I cried myself to sleep. I was exhausted mentally and physically, I didn't even know when I fell asleep.
