Ariel pushed her honey-colored hair out of her eyes and continued taking to Griffen. "The agency will be here early tomorrow morning. [i]Please[/i] clean up that mess you call your room before then." Griffen nodded without turning away from the TV in the foyer. Ariel sighed and walked out onto the front porch to tell Clarity and I to clean up a little before dinner-- Butler was making something special to celebrate Ariel's new promotion. We told her we would be ready in five minutes. I turned back to Clarity to finish my story.

We did everything together. We even shared a bedroom. She was my best friend. After we had all eaten (the "special" entre was hot dogs-- Ariel's favorite) and the dishes were clean, I made my way to one of the many rooms on the first floor of Ariel's house. Unlike the others, this one was not pointless.

The wonderful instrument came into view, and once inside the room, I ran my fingers over the ivory keys. [i]Someday I will have a grand piano just like this one[/i], I thought to myself. I smiled at the idea. [i]That will be the day.[/i] This was when I was happiest, I knew. The way the old, expensive wood felt under my fingers gave me chills-- the good kind. The ivory keys felt like clouds underneath my long fingers. I spent the next half hour lightly pressing the keys so it wouldn't make any noise (I wasn't old enough to play yet) and practicing the cords I already knew by heart.

I lived with my real mom until I was almost two. Life was hard, from what the social worker told me (and she told me a lot). My mom, Caroline, worked nights at a dance club. She was an "exotic dancer". While she was working, her boyfriend watched me. I say watched, but all he did was drink alcohol, do drugs, and smack me when I cried. That should have been enough for him to get arrested, but it wasn't. There was no proof, and no one to turn him in. My mom thought she was in love, even when he started beating her, too. Eventually, the neighbors called the cops and they were both taken into custody for battery and drugs. I was taken to the local adoption center where I stayed until I was four. At the adoption center, the social worker visited us from time to time to check up on us. There were close to fifteen girls there. Not many of us where adopted. I met Clarity there, as well as many other girls. Clarity's dad left her mom, too, and her mom, Ambrosia, was arrested for working at the warehouse with the most wanted criminals. When Ariel came to get us, Clarity was about to turn four and I had just had my
