No one that was related to us was nearby, so naturally, they took me to an orphanage.

There was a middle-aged lady at the door. Her name was Mrs. Lee. She was short and round, with round glasses and with a bun in her hair. "Hi, I'm Mrs. Lee. What's your name?" Mrs. Lee asked, her face scrunched up. 

"I'm Alex.." I said, looking down at her tan sandals. "Oh, hello, Alex! want me to show you around?" Mrs. Lee asked, less scrunchy this time. "Oh, uh, yes?" I said, sorta confused. Mrs. Lee first introduced me to my roommate, Lily. She had blue eyes, tan skin, and ombre-esque hair. Lily was sorta shy and kind. She was also 3 years older than me.

After the tour, I stayed in my room, just wondering about my mother. I thought that if I was strong and if my dad didn't leave us, I would be fine.

Right?
