//chapter two//
Officer Simmson opened
the door for me and I climbed into the police car, shaking. This
couldn't be happening. Not right now. I wasn't ready for
it... Then again, when would I ever be? Luckily, officer
Simmson didn't turn on the sirens. I didn't need anyone
thinking I was a criminal.
When we reached the police station, a
woman with glasses and graying short dark brown hair approached
me. She looked like she was in her
mid-forties. She crossed her arms over her chest.
"So, you're Caroline?" She asked me.
"W-who's she?" I asked the
officer.
"Didn't I already tell you?
This is your aunt Gloria. Your parents arranged for her to take
you into her custody, should something happen to the both of
them."
My jaw dropped and tears spilled from my
eyes. "But I don't even know her!" My voice
cracked. The officer's eyebrows crinkled in
confusion.
"I am sorry that your parents never
allowed you to meet her for some reason, but it's the only
person they arranged for." He shrugged. I burst into
tears and covered my eyes with my hands, collapsing into a chair.
Everything was too overwhelming. I was mad. How could my parents
send me off to some unknown relative if they died? Then, of
course, I was heartbroken. I wanted my parents back. But at the
moment, there was obviously nothing I could do.
I sniffed and looked up at Gloria. She
was leaned over a desk and was signing papers. I could just
barely overhear the words 'therapy' and
'counseling' in her conversation with the officer at
the front desk.
"Alright, Caroline. Let's
go," Gloria said to me. I nodded and stood, not bothering to
correct her. Wiping tears from my cheeks, I sighed. I wanted
to ask the officers if they were absolutely sure I couldn't
live with anyone else, but I didn't want to sound needy or
stupid.
So instead, I follow 'aunt'
Gloria to her car and reluctantly drove off to my new
life.
