Prologe

Hey guys it's bookstorm this is a story I'm writing by myself and I hope you guys enjoy it here it is my story of Learning to Love.

(Rachel's P.O.V.)

It was a normal school day it was October and I was 10 years old. I was doing a worksheet. I had to read a passage and answer some questions. I was working alone cause the other kids would make fun of me and I didn't like it.

My teacher Mrs. Granger came up to me giving me a slip of paper it was a pass.

I looked at her with a confused look.

"You're getting signed out Rach have a nice day." She said.

I nodded and grabbed my backpack telling her bye in the way out the door.

I walked the empty long hallways wondering why I was getting signed out. Was something going on. Is there a surprise waiting for me.

There was the front office lady I didn't know her name, but she smiled at me sadly.

I smiled back.

There was a women who guessing by her uniform was a Police Officer.

"Hi sweety are you Rachel?" She asked me.

I nodded shyly and looked at her.

"Where is my mommy and daddy?" I asked

She sat down on a chair and beckoned me over. I went over to her slowly till she picked me up and sat her on my lap.

"Honey do you know what death is?" The lady asked me.

I nodded and answered.

"It's when someone goes to sleep forever, and they end up going to a better place where they're happy." I explained.

She nodded and then looked at me.

"Sweetheart um we want you to know that your mommy and daddy are in a better place now and on smiling down at you they um they died." She explained.

I looked at her in shock.

"What no they dropped me off this morning." I said shaking my head.

"Well honey they got in a car accident and they didn't make it." I started crying.

My mommy and daddy....... Gone.

My crying turned into sobbing I hugged the officer, and couldn't contain my sobs.

The front office lady came and rubbed my back handing me some tissues.

I took them and blew my nose still sobbing.

I tried to stop but I couldn't my heart felt like it was gone and all I could do was sob.

My mommy and daddy gone forever.

In between sobs I managed to ask her where I would be going.

She looked at me.

"Well sweetheart since you have no aunts and uncles and your grandparents are in nursing homes you will go into foster care.

I nodded while I was still sobbing.

Gone gone forever.

I cried and cried till I started to fall asleep and soon I did fall asleep in the lady's arms.

I woke up in a decent sized room in a comfy bed wrapped in a blanket. I looked around and I saw three doors surrounding me one I supposed lead to a hallway the other a closet, and I'm guessing the other one lead to a bathroom by the looks of it. I was in a Queen sized bed with with a purple blanket my purple blanket this was my bed I looked around and saw all my stuff in here. I got up and looked in the closet to see my clothes there.

I heard a door open, and a lady walked in she was pretty tall, and she had brown hair with green eyes.

She came up to me and I quickly sat on my bed.

She sat down on the edge of the bed.

"I'm not gonna hurt you I'm going to be your foster mom you see how this works is family's are gonna take you in for a little bit if they like you they're gonna adopt you if you aren't what they're looking for you'll come back." She explained and pulled a phone out of her pocket.

"This is for you it already has all the numbers you need and some apps all ready you will go back to school in a week we are gonna give you time to adjust. This is a really big house the kitchen is all the way down stairs this room your room is on the second floor the upstairs are for teens you'll move there in a couple years the downstairs are the little kids with the living room, game room, movie room, and of course like I said a kitchen dinner is in 2 hours so come to the kitchen they're are three dining room set up according to age ilk show you the dining room you'll be in." She explained.

I nodded and looked at the phone.

"it's an iPhone 4." She said walking out.

I looked through it putting my fingerprint in it and then put it down.

I started crying again I curled up in a ball and just cried.

I went to my desk and plugged in the laptop my parents had gotten me. I stated playing games till it was time for dinner. I went downstairs and found the huge kitchen the foster mom was there and she led me to a dining room filled with kids my age.

"I'm Miss Jason by the way." With that she walked out.

I sat down in an empty seat at a partially full table. I didn't talk for the whole meal I just sat there picking at my food.

This is my life now I thought to myself.
