Inside the door was the most delightful room Holly had ever seen. The carpet was a lush, light pink and and the walls had a light and regular pink rose pattern. There were two bunk beds on each wall to the left and to the right with a dark wood frame, pink sheets, and a red comforter. The pillows were even pink. Straight ahead was a big window that let in all of the light needed without having to turn on a light. Outside she saw a snow covered landscape, along with the gray clouds she'd seen earlier. "You get to choose which bed you want since you're the first one in this room," Ms. Newman said. Holly thought for a moment, then choose the top bunk on the left. "Good choice," her father chirped. Ms. Newman left the room and they were all alone. "Oh, baby. We'll be back. We promise," her mother said softly as she gave Holly a hug. "Yeah, but not before Christmas. How could you do this? Why not after Christmas?!" Holly yelled. "We'll be back a few days after Christmas to get a progress report," her dad said. "But Daddy! It'll be too late." Then she mumbled under her breath,"I won't love you anymore." "Oh come on! It's beautiful here!" her dad said. "But there's not even any other kids here!" Holly yelled again. "But there will be," her mother said as she looked into her eyes. Holly's eyes began to tear up. She wanted so bad to hug them, yet she was mad at them. If she didn't hug them though, she would regret it later. Then she decided she would let them hug her. "Good bye sweet pea," her dad said as he bent down to lift her in the air for a hug. It lasted about 10 seconds, then he let her down. Then her mom said,"I love you," as she gave her a hug that lasted about 15 seconds. Then they both left the room saying,"Good bye, love you, good bye, I love you, bye, we love you!" Then the door shut. Holly rushed over to the door and opened it to see her parents waiting at the elevator. They saw her and waved. She waved back and then they were gone. Holly ran over to the window where she had a clear view of the parking lot. She saw her limo and her parents getting into it. They saw her once more and waved. Holly waved back and then they drove away. Holly looked around at all of the things in the room. There were four computers, one on the head side and one on the foot side of each of the bunk beds. Holly chose the one closest to the window by her bunk, which was by the head side of the bunk. As soon as you would walk in there would be a door on your left and a door on your right. She assumed the one on the left was for her. She walked in and found 2 more doors straight ahead. She chose the one on the right and found 2 more doors straight ahead. This is getting ridiculous, Holly thought. She opened the one on the right and it was a beautiful white bathroom with a jacuzzi, shower, two sinks, and a toilet. She went back to the other door and it was a huge, walk-in closet. She went back and assumed that the same would be found in the other doors. She claimed the bathroom and closet she found to be her own and then went back to the bedroom. There she noticed a book shelf and two circular chairs. She sat in one of them and tried to hold back her tears, but before she knew it she was fast asleep...
