Salvation

___________________

I heard a gasp behind me and I let go. The person was quick and caught me by my waist before I fell. She pulled me in and yelled:

'Are you crazy??!!'

'No. My life is bad. I just wanted to end it' I didn't even look at her face. I didn't care.

'Come here' she said with a sweet voice.

We sat on my bed.

'Tell me about it'

'My mom died giving birth to me, my dad had drinking problems, he was busy, he blamed me for my mom's death and he would beat me up screaming that it was my fault. He died when I was five and my nanny had a heart attack when she heard the news. I've been here since that happened and nobody wants to be my friend or adopt me because I see my nanny in my dreams. I will never have a family but I can go with mine... in the other side'

'Oh no...' she hugged me.

When we pulled away, I finally looked at her face. She had her sunglasses in her hand and she had a hand over her eyes. She was crying.

'I'm sorry for making you cry. I just can't take it anymore...' My voice broke as I hugged her again.

We pulled away again and she took her hand off her eyes, drying her tears and then mine. That's when I saw it.

'AVA!?'

'Yes. It's me... I really wanted a daughter. I can't find the person that will give me love so I needed someone to love and take care of so I put on a wig and sunglasses and came here'

She was wearing a light brown short wig and her sunglasses were on my bed now.

'You were listening to my music in class' she reminded me.

'The lessons are always the same and I know everything by heart. With all my problems, your music was the one thing keeping me alive. But after what happened today in class... The music wasn't enough...'

'Take your stuff'

'What?' My eyes widened.

'Take your stuff. We're going home'

I stood up and packed all my possessions. Ava tried to help me with everything she could. I was so excited. I was going to be adopted by my idol!!!

When I got all my stuff together, I saw Ava at the reception desk negotiating with the receptionist.
'I would like to adopt y/n y/l/n'
'Are you sure ma'am? A lot of parents have returned her because of her problem with her dreams'
'I'm 100 percent sure' answered Ava with total security.
'That would be $7.500' said the receptionist with a blank look.
'That is too cheap!' complained Ava 'a child normally costs from $15.000 to $40.000!'
'She is not normal, has been returned too many times and is the oldest kid in the center. We had to put a low price' answered the receptionist without a single change in her expression.

Ava slammed $100.000 on the desk. 'This is what she is really worth!' She looked at me and took my hand starting to walk out of there.
I hadn't gone outside in probably some years because I would spend days inside my room in the dark listening to music so when the sun hit me on the face I had to cover it. It hurt my eyes so much.
'You're not used to the sun?' asked Ava sweetly.
I shook my head. Ava took off her sunglasses and put them over my eyes. I could see better now and it didn't hurt.
'Thank you' I smiled.
'Is that a smile what I see?' asked Ava mocking me 'I haven't seen you smile since I met you!' she added.

We got inside her car. It smelled like her. I spent the whole trip smelling her sweet scent and getting lost in the turns she smoothly took. She was a very good driver! It was a long drive and when Ava started humming a song I felt very sleepy... With the sweet melody coming out of her lips, her smell and driving skills, I fell asleep.
