Chapter 2
𝘼 𝘿𝙖𝙮 𝙄𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙚
Bridget Samelia lives at St. Emiliani orphanage. She lives a basic life compared to others but there is one thing about her that is different. She has a YouTube channel where she makes lots of different types of videos. Her YouTube channel is called Building Bridget.
On a typical day Bridget is called to breakfast which is normally small for her. Then she has to do either an hour of studying or devotions in the Cathedral. Although Bridget lives in a Catholic orphanage she does not practice Catholicism. She really doesn't feel church is for her.
Once the hour is up she gets ready for school and goes on the bus. At school she is in all advanced classes and takes extra classes after school. At school there is this guy she is slightly obsessed with, his name is Ryder Lydell. He is the schools golden boy, very cute, and has never had a girlfriend that anyone knows of.
Once home from school there is homework, showering, dinner, and finally time to either read or film. Bridget has a love of literature and all things film. She critic's books and movies for a living.
On this day in particular Bridget is awakened by her alarm. She wants to get in and early morning workout before all the requirements of the day start. Braiding her long hair and putting on her workout clothes, Ryder flashes through her mind.
"Oh my God, Bridget, you can't have him!" She tells herself but he just won't go away.
The pilates routine is her only escape. She puts every effort into the workout. Bridget is a focused girl but lately she has been a bit distracted. She can't get Ryder even though they never talk out of her head. There is just something about him that draws her.
Since today she is off school Bridget heads to breakfast only eating eggs and toast. Laundry and storytime with the little kids follow then the day is hers.
𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒔= 𝑺𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒕 𝑽𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒐, 𝑬𝒅𝒊𝒕, 𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒂 𝒃𝒐𝒐𝒌!
Once her itinerary is seen to Bridget heads back to her room to set up the cameras and lights. She is shooting the Promise video. On the way she bumps into Dalia Fornia her best friend who is also an orphan.
"Hey girlfriend!" Dalia chirps.
"Hi! Sorry in a hurry, I have to get this new video shot today!" Bridget calls and keeps with her quick pace. Dalia undeterred follows.
"I'll do the behind the camera work!"
"Sounds good! Thanks." Bridget responds again as she enters her small room.
After 20 mins of setting up Bridget dabs some powder on her nose and pulls the script to her.
"Action?" Dalia asks and Bridget nods to her.

"Hello everyone, thanks for coming back. Today I am going to go over my new years resolutions!"
Bridget starts with her intro. At the end of it Dalia knows to pause recording and let her see how she looks.
"You look good."
"For the first time ever. My year is starting off well!" Bridget exclaims.
"Action?" Dalia asks and Bridget nods again.
"Truly I have only one goal this year. I am here to explain. For sometime now I haven't been very happy. I feel a missing piece. It is not easy and I want to find what it is this year. My journey will be on this channel and this year my journal is a priority. I love all my friends but something that they aren't is missing."
As Bridget explains Dalia looks more and more concerned so Bridget motions for her to stop recording.
"Unhappy? Missing piece?" Dalia exclaims.
"Yes Dalia, but it has nothing to do with you! I love you, you are a great friend. This isn't your fault." Bridget tries to comfort her.
"Well I feel like a bad friend for not noticing!" Dalia cries.
"It is not your fault. I am just going to focus on myself more this year." Bridget confirms.
"Okay, lets finish this video." Dalia sighs.
"I need a peace. I feel like there is so much more I can feel in this world. I don't really understand it either, but I want to and will figure it out. I made myself a promise. I will find that missing piece and will stick to it. Whatever it takes to be happy and feeling."
At the end of that Dalia pauses and Bridget drinks some water.
"Talking is hard!" Bridget laughs.
"Alright shall we finish?"
"Yes!"
"Onto other news I've started a new book. Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen. It is hard to read but it is a classic and I want to read it. No new movies have been watched. I started these workouts called Chloe Ting abs... They hurt like the devil's place. My last bit of news and/or advice is please don't worry about me. I am going to put myself and needs first. Maybe we can all start this year. Come one Builders lets do it."
"Okay so that's the end. I need to edit but first want to go see the babies?" Bridget asks Dalia.
"Sure let's go!"
🅒🅤🅣!
Bridget loves kids. They have a special place in her heart. There was this toddler in the orphanage for a short while and he became her little brother for a bit. He got adopted but the parents would not take Bridget because she was too old. The loss of Timothy put Bridget in such a depression that the Nuns made her work in the nursery and that was just what she needed. Since then Bridget goes to the nursery at least three days a week. It is the only place she feels a little happy.
"Okay who do you want to see today?" Dalia asks.
"I really want to see Melissa. She is just the cutest little button!" Bridget exclaims.
"I love Riley, too bad he got adopted! I mean I'm happy for him but I'll miss him." Dalia sighs.
"Maybe you can visit."
"Yeah maybe." Dalia says dejectedly.
When they reach the nursery a little red head rushes to Dalia and a little dark haired girl slowly comes to Bridget.
"Hello Melissa, how are you?" Bridget asks.
"I is dood. I got dopted!" Melissa says with a smile.
"Oh." Bridget sighs and looks over to the nun.
"Who adopted her?"
"A really sweet middle aged couple. They aren't able to have kids and they were thrilled by her. She really loves the mom, her name is Andy." The nun tells her.
"Could I perhaps meet them? I really want to visit her! She is like Timothy but I'm not going to miss my opportunity now."
"Sure, they come to get her in two weeks! God has been good to them and her." The nun states and turns to a crying baby in a crib.
"Well Melissa lets play something? Anything you've been doing?" She asks her.
"No, I want to have barbie!"
"Well Mommy Andy can get you one. Do you want to go play outside?"
"Yessss!" Melissa cries in delight and they quickly head to the playground.
After 30 minutes of nonstop playing Melissa is tired and its time for her nap.
"Bwidet?"
"Yes honey?"
"Is mommy Andy you mom to?"
"No, I don't have a mom." Bridget tells her sadly.
"Why? We sisters?"
"Mommy Andy wants a small girl. I'm not small, I am almost an adult and can be a mommy myself. You will live somewhere else but I will come and visit you!" Bridget tells her.
"I need nap! Thank you for playing with me!" Melissa says and Bridget puts her in her bed.
"I love you."
"Wuv you to!" Melissa says sleepily.
"Sweet dreams."
As this is over Bridget needs a walk to calm her down. She feels so overwhelmingly sad. She has no one. Melissa is about to be taken from her. As the tears overcome her she runs into the woods. The green never fails to make her feel better. It will all be over soon. She will find her missing piece. She will find peace. She may even get a family.
Once her cry is over Bridget heads back in, she has a video to edit.
