Mai's POV:
I spotted a lady, looking around. She looked very sweet maybe around her 30s. She stumbled across us,
"Bonjour , je suis Jane. Quels sont vos noms?" (("Hello, I'm Jane. What are your names?"))
Je suis Mai, c'est Avril et Louis.. (("I am May, that's April, and Louis.."))
I knew something was about to happen. We were gonna be split up, but I know I'd find them again. I looked over at Louis and by the look on his face, he knew as well.
She gave us a smile, and looked over to Avril. Out of everyone, It had to be the youngest. The pure one out of us. She gave me a look and then turned to Louis, and Started tearing up.
I gave her a hug as I let go, the Orphanage Helpers came over to the lady.
"Voyez-vous quelqu'un que vous voudriez adopter, mademoiselle?" (("Do you see anybody you'd like to adopt, miss?"))
She pointed to Avril, as me and Louis gave her a hug as we said her goodbyes. I told her and Promised her I'll see her again.
Louis POV:
I watched my sister get adopted as me and Mai , felt like we were missing something.
I wish it could've been me, but sometimes we gotta make sacrifices. We headed back to our rooms In complete silence.
"She's gone. She has a new family now Louis...What if we don't see her again!?"
I know, but we need to think positively we'll find her again, I hope..
"HOPEFULLY.."
Avril's POV:
As I let go of Mai and Louis's arms, I went to pack my things. I left, with a lady I didn't even know.
I miss Mai, and Louis. I promise myself, I'll find them again when I get older.
"Alors voulez-vous un milkshake ou une glace avant de rentrer à la maison, mon amour?" (("So would you like a milkshake or a ice cream before we head home, my love?"))
Peut-on! Oui, oui. Merci beaucoup! (("Can we! yes, yes. thank you very much!"))
"Bien sûr! allons chercher une glace alors." (("Of course! let's go get you an ice cream"))
Maybe...this won't be so bad after all. But, I'll still remember you Mai, and Louis..
"HOPEFULLY"
