A Home for Jessa Read Online Free PDF

Mrs. Drew said.
            “NO, you’re wrong. That’s why she came here so I could go with her and have a real family.” Jessa shouted. “Tell them Aunt Beth. Tell them you came to get me so we could be a family.”
           “I wish I could Jessa, but I just came to see you dear. I can’t take you to live with me my boyfriend would have a fit and leave me for sure. He doesn’t want kids and neither do I. I just wanted to see you. I haven’t heard anything about you since your parents died.” Beth told her.
           “You, you don’t want me? Then why even come? Why?” Jessa asked with tears in her eyes.
            “Jessa I told the social workers when they first contacted me when you were five that I couldn’t keep you and that you would be better off here. I also told them that if you ever asked to tell you they couldn’t find any relatives. Then Mrs. Drew phoned and said she was going over her files and noticed that you had and aunt and by law I was to be contacted.”
            “Mrs. Drew why did you even call her then? Why did you get my hopes up are you really that cruel of a person?”
            “No Jessa I’m not and I am terribly sorry I called, but it wasn’t listed in your file that Beth had ever been contacted. When she called back she also never mentioned any of this to me. Instead, she wanted until she got here and then I called Nancy and she confirmed what she had said. Nancy never put it in your file because she was afraid you would see it one day and she didn’t want you to know that your aunt refused to take and didn’t want anything to do with you.” Mrs. Drew explained.
           Jessa started crying so hard she was shaking. I have an aunt but she doesn’t want anything to do with me. So much for family Jessa thought.
           “That’s why we told her she couldn’t see you. We wanted to spare you the pain of all of this and of knowing you were unwanted. I’m so sorry Jessa.” Mr. Henson said.
           “Jessa would you like it if we took a walk and talked for a while before I leave?” Beth asked.
            “No just go. You don’t want me so why even put me through more pain.” Jessa replied.
           Beth left and Jessa and Mr. Henson took a walk. They talked about what Jessa blurted out about being beaten and left at the hospital. Mrs. Drew on the other hand wanted nothing to do with the matter and said it was just Jessa trying to cause trouble thinking she would get to leave with her aunt. No one ever spoke of it or her aunt again.

           It had been a month since the whole ordeal with her aunt and Jessa still hadn’t gotten over any of it. To make things even worse Mrs. Drew was trying to find another foster home to place her in.
           “Jessa are you alright?” Mr. Henson asked.
           “I’m fine just thinking about being placed in another foster home.”
             “Do you want to talk about it?” he asked
           “Not really.”
           Mrs. Drew came through the door. “Jessa I need to speak to you in my office.” She told her.
           Jessa got up and followed Mrs. Drew to her office. Well I’m assuming she has found a foster home for me Jessa thought as she took a seat.
           “As you know I have been trying to find a foster home to place you in and I have found one. Mrs. Turner will be here in a few hours to take you to your new home so you need to go pack.” Mrs. Drew said.
           Jessa got up and headed out the door.
           “Oh and Jessa no more running away.” Mrs. Drew called out after her.
           I can’t believe she still thinks I ran away Jessa thought, even after I told them what really happened. I guess it’s just easier for her to believe I did. I wonder what kind of people my new foster parents are. Maybe this time it
