Orphan


Great! A new day started, thought Miles, while lying on his bed. He gets up and lookas at the clock, the clock died. Miles signed, why every things just keeps on broken when he comes to this family? He lies down and want to sleep for an extra hour. "Hey honey, it is time to get up!" said Ella at down stairs. Miles opens his eyes and sit up, "Mom, can you let me sleep for an extra hour?" said Miles with in anger. Ella said nothing.


Yes, this is his life now, being disturb every moring. tears come out and get across his face, Miles creid, for the first time in his life. Fathers? Mothers? Hem, just a piece of junk, for the past few years, he always tring to forget about the death of his mother and father. Ella? hem, who is she? She is not his mother, she adopted him when he is 12. Three years passed, and nothing had changed him. Now, as a 15-year old child, he have to go to high school, which is a nightmear to him, typicaly, the school he attend, a public school. In Miles's mind, the memories starts to flash back, Emma and William, what a great parents, they always give the best to him; and Abdoo, what a stupid family name, but Ella forced him to change his family name, but now, he want to change it back.

It is the year 2018, he clearly remember that year it is the year which he moved to this dumb family. Before that, he staied in an orphanage for a year, at this time, he starts to think about his true mother, Emma.

Exactly 3 years ago, Emma's husband William was packaging up and getting ready for work. It is a rainy day, actually, it rains so heavy that the government had to warn the people not to go out, but William still want to go to work. No matter how Emma warn him, he still don't care, William said:"Emma, listen, th rain is not that bad. I will be home at the 6."  Soon, it is 7am, Emma get upstairs and told Miles the school is cancled due to the heavy rain. Miles nodded, and get up to have his breakfast. While having breakfast, Miles asked:"Mom, can I go out to play with Eamon in the park?" Yes, why not. But you have to watchout of cars! " said Emma, softly.  "Yes mom! " said Miles, while putting on his coat.


Suddenly, the shout of Adolf breaks Miles's flash back, "What are you doing up there? You lazybone! " Miles said nothing, he gets up and wears his pants and shirt. He slowly walks down the hall way and get downstairs. In front of him, his brother Adolf is standing in front of him, his fat body fill out the space between both walls, like a dead end, thought Miles. He should say him a good moring, but this time, he said:"Morning, you sucker" Adolf's face came dark immidiantly, he tries to slap Miles, but Miles turn his head away, at this time, Ella walk by and sees them, she screams and drag Adolf away, let him apologize to Miles, but Miles didn't feel better at all. 

While having breakfast, Miles's flash back again, he rememered the break which Emma cooks for him, his tears come again, but what can he do? William died in an car accident at that rainy day, a but crashed his car, he is rolled by the bus. When Emma heard this horrible news, she is watching TV, one of William's friend called her and told her about the death of his father, at first, she thinks it is a horrible jock, but when the news showed the same infromation, she collapsed. She didn't tell the thing to Miles, but what can she say when Miles ask about it? Finaly, after thinking for a hole night, she came to her husband's desk, she takes out a pen and a piece of paper, she wrote everything on the paper, at the last, she wrote her name. She finished the latter, went to Miles's room, kiss him on his face and put the letter on his desk. 

The other day when Miles woke up, he soon realized the housed is suprizingly quite. "Mom? Dad?"shouted Miles. Nobody answered....
