*trigger warning*

And the day came, my birthday!! Sometimes I forgot my birthday because there is no calendar. But now this the day I have been waiting for October 19. (A/N this is the real day of my birth)

I have been circling that number on the calendar and told Nicole about it so many times. At the start of October my feelings are getting that sunny feeling. Which means I feel happy and I don't care what bad things happened to me and my friend.

But I notice kids like me are going home with their foster parents. And I'm trying to think of good things, that Dan and Phil will adopt me. And then there is Nicole who I know how old she is, 13 years old. She became sad when I became happy, I tried to cheer her up but it works but her smile never last.

"Where are you going?!" I run after Nicole because she ran away from the dinner hall. I caught her in the bathroom. "Nicole?" No answer. I looked at the stalls and when I got to the last for me it was shocked but not on the norm.

Nicole has a blade on her skin and slicing it on her wrists muttering 'Sorry' to herself. Blood flowing on her cuts and it's getting worst. When she saw me she was scared and I quickly cut my jacket and wrapped the cloth on her cuts. I did that because she is having a hard time breathing.

And I dragged her to our room and we sit in silence. "Why did you save me?" She asked and I looked at her and hugged her very tight. "Can I ask you something" I broke the silence. "Sure" I sit beside her and looked down. "Are you an angel?" She looked at me in confusion "What?" "Mummy told me that those who have marked wrists are angels."

"I'm not an angel Maddie."

"Of course you are." I looked at Nicole, "my foster mum said that angels harm themselves because they don't like life on Earth. This world is destroying them so they try to return to heaven again. They are too sensitive to the pain of other and their own." I didn't know she was crying until I notice that tears are falling from her face.

"You know, your mum is very wise." I smiled at her and give her a napkin to wipe her tears away. "Thank you. She is also an angel but she and my daddy returned to heaven, together forever." That's when I broke down in tears when I remember them. Nicole hugged me very tight and I hugged back knowing she was there for me.

"Happy Birthday Madi-"

We looked at the people who are in the door. Dan and Phil.
