Angel stood in the middle of everyone in the living room. Good thing Rosalie was away, so that she wouldn't have to see her look again.
The question stung Angel's heart... but she had to tell them in order to get the pain out of her chest. The young girl breathed. "It all started when I was very little... probably about 5 or 6..." Angel could picture herself as a happy, outgoing girl.
"I lived with my real mother, before I was adopted. She loved me more than anything in the world. I never knew my dad too... but that didn't bother me.
Then... one night, a stranger broke in our house, while we were about to go to bed. I was scared. Especially for my mom. She hid me in a closet, so that the stranger wouldn't hurt me. Told me not to come out until she came back. She left to get rid of the man... but then, I heard screaming. It came from mom.
When her screaming died, I stayed in the closet, scared so badly. Luckily, the stranger was gone from the house. Two days past, and I was still in the closet. I think a neighbor called the police then. The policemen came, and found me, traumatized and frozen with fear. Told me that mom was gone. I didn't know what to do then...
When I turned 8, I was living in the orphanage. It was Adoption Day. I was very excited that an adult would choose me. But then, the adoption was over. I sat alone in the room, looking up at the night sky through the window. Suddenly, the door a few feet behind me opened. I heard a whisper saying, 'She's in here.'
I felt a hand touch my shoulder, as if comforting me. I looked up at my side, and a tear fell from my eye. My new mother, who had her husband with her, said to me, 'Come on, sweetie. We've come to take you home...'
As I was carried off in my new dad's arms, I started to cry with joy. Years past, and we moved here. I think I became 14 then. Through these years, I was comfortable around my adoptive parents, but not others. I was still upset from the incident. So, I became home schooled. That's why I'm nervous around everyone, because I'm afraid I might say something that might hurt them and I won't act kind."
After Angel told her story, she hung her head down sadly.
