5. NEW FAMILY

" what's your name.?" The girl asked me.

" Kaira Smith. "

"Nice name. My name is Alison Gardner." She said and we continue walking in a comfortable silence.

" We are here." She pointed  to a nice and cosy house. It wasn't as big as the one I ran away from. But it was bigger than my old home that's for sure.

She opened the door and led me inside.

The floor was wooden with a welcoming aura. I was already loving this place.

" mom dad I am home." She called. Her parents were sitted in the kitchen and she led me there.

" mom dad meet Kaira. She is the girl I told you about."

" awww sweety." Her mom came giving a welcoming hug, " I am sorry you had to go through all that. Come sit with me." She led me to a sit in between her and her husband. I was scared at first that he would also torture me but surprisingly I felt calmness like I was protected.

" Do you want anything. Can I get you some dinner.?' The lady Mrs Gardner asked me.

" No its fine I already ate dinner." I said.

" are you sure."

"Yes Mrs Gardner." I said smiling a bit.

" Don't be silly from now on call me mum okay." I smiled at her I could feel she was really nice and would treat me better but I wasn't letting my guard down.

" mum." I said. I didn't know a tear had escaped my eyes till I felt Mrs Gardner er mum wipe it away. She gave another hug whilst rubbing small circles on my back.

" Don't worry I won't let anything happen to you. You are safe here." She said and it made me feel alot better. Finally I had found a home.

Alison took me to a nice and cosy room it wasn't as big as the one at new daddy's but it was really nice and cozy.

 "This is your new room you will be sleeping with me." Alison said.

There was a double bed on the middle with a wooden floor and matching curtains. 

There was a small closet but no bathroom.

" Thanks miss Alison. I really appreciate your kindness."

" Just call me Alison okay and from now on I will be your big sister okay." I couldnt help but smile.

She gave me some decent pj's since I left the ones I was given back there.

I change into them and slept on one side of the bed while Alison slept on the other side.

~~~

"Vuuuuuuu.." I head some noises and woke up.

I Looked at the clock on the bedside table and it was six thirty oh no step mum is going to kill me I'm late.

I ran out of the room and Into the living room to find Mrs Gardner er mom cleaning while Allison was in the kitchen preparing breakfast. Then realisation hit me.

I was no longer living with my step mom.

" Morning princess why are you up this early?." Mom asked

" I...uh.." I couldn't form any real words.

" never mind go freshen up and come back down to eat breakfast. Your dad will take you to start school today."

" school.?"

" Yes you are going to school." I was so excited I couldn't believe they took me in and most importantly send me to school. My life was becoming super cool and I couldn't wait to start learning.

I went to the bathroom and took a nice relaxing warm shower. Which was short though. I couldn't be late for my first day now can I.

I finished and went back to my and Allison's room to get dressed.

I wore some blue high waist ripped  jeans and a blue string top with a pink hoody on top.

As I was dressing up Alison came and started blow drying my hair.

She straightened it and letting it fall freely on my back

She didn't apply any make up on my face because and I  quoted ' a thirteen year old should never wear make up but embrace her natural beauty.' she was right I didn't have a thing for make up anyway.

She applied a little lip gloss on my lips and I was all done ready to go.

We headed downs stairs and mom who was done cleaning served me some breakfast.

It was pancakes with creamy tea since I wasn't allowed to Drink coffee.

" Good morning. " Dad said and sat on the chair next to me.

"Morning." I said with a tiny smile.

" So are you ready for school.?" He asked taking the cup of coffee mom handed to him.

" Yes." I said excitedly while he chuckled making me feel a little embarassed.

" Morning family." I heard a male voice

I looked behind and saw a boy about my age walking into the kitchen.

" who is she.?" He asked eyeing me curiously. He must have been asleep when I came here yesturday.

" this is your new sister Kaira. " mom  said.

" but where  did she come from and how did you guys have a big giant baby over night?."

" Don't be silly nic. Kaira was adopted last night. She didn't have a place to go and I just thought that I should bring her home with me. You know I can't just let a minor roaming the streets at almost midnight." Alison said.

" Ohh okay. Welcome to the family kid sis." Nic said smiling while snatching a pancake from my plate.

" Hey that's mine." I said playfully glaring at him.

" That's what big brothers do." He smirk at me and everyone laughed.

" umm nic I am pretty sure you guys are the same age." Alison said.

"When is your birthday?" Nic asked me.

"September first."

" see I am older. Mine is July tenth." He said and everyone just shook there heads amused

"Okay hurry up kids" Dad said.

After three minutes nico and I were done.

Mom handed me a bag which had all the stuff I needed for school.

" Thanks mom." I said giving her a hug.

" You are welcome now run along or you will be late for your first day." She said with a small smile.

" bye Kaira have fun at school." Alison shouted from the kitchen.

" bye ally see you." I said and run to the car were Nico and dad were waiting for me.

he drove off and I let out a small smile finally everything was becoming perfect for me.

After about fifteen minutes we finally arrived at school.

Art and talents high school.

We got off from the car and nico held my hand protectively like a big brother would.

Dad led us to the principal's office.

" Good morning Mr Gardner. This must be Kaira, nice too meet you young lady." The woman with blonde hair said. She looked about maybe in her late thirties or so.

" good morning ma'am.." I said

" call me Principal Magret. Dear." She said smiling at me.

"Okay so your dad told me a little about you. But I want to hear it all from you." She said removing a piece of paper from a file book.

It had some entry questions which I had to answer before beginning my lessons.

She gave me the paper and told me that I had to answer all the questions five in total for the next five minutes.

I answered the questions and she gave me a schedule which was the same as Nico's. It seems he will be my classmate.

The first period was history and me being a nerd I was so excited to start learning.

***Three years later.***

"Wake up bimbo.." My brother Nicholas yelled. today was our graduation day. Finally high school is over.

" Yes I am up." I said sleepily and drag myself into the bathroom.

Ever since they adopted me., they have given me all that I desired.

 All has been going well though I have absolutely no Idea what happened to my step mum.

I hurriedly took a shower  and dressed up in a beautiful floral dress with some  neutral coloured flats I let my Redish black hair fall loosely on my back and my hazel eyes were full of life.

I went down stairs scoped up some breakfast and went outside to Nicholas who was waiting for me.

I sat on the passenger sit of his car and we drove off.

We reached the school just in time for the announcements

The principal announced all the graduates and for my good marks I got a scholarship to study at Christian Lee university.

It was the most well known university in London and I got the privilege to study there. I was so excited.

My brother Nicholas was also going to the same college as me which was really awesome.

We collected our results and went to a after party.

Everything was going perfectly and I danced with the friends I made at school. But suddenly I started feeling dizzy I shrugged it off and continued dancing.

I  felt it again and this time I couldnt stand. I held on to Lucy one of the Friends I made at school who was near me for support.

" are you okay ira" she asked full of worry and concern

" yes am fine just feeling dizzy." I said. Then I felt a warm liquid on my nose. I touched it and saw that it was blood. Nico who was watching me from a distance rushed to me.

" kai are you okay." He said with a worried tone. I felt like I was suffocating like the air around me had disappeared and there was nothing left to breath.

" I...." That's all I said and everything went black.
