Read A Home for Jessa for Free Online

think about how no one seemed to want her. First her aunt and then the Bedfords, as far as I know there is nothing wrong with me Jessa thought. I’m quiet, I keep to myself, I stay out of everyone’s way and I don’t eat much, so why doesn’t anyone want me.
           “Jessa, can I speak to you for a moment?” Mrs. Turner asked as she stepped through the door.
           Jessa nodded her head yes.
          “I am so sorry for what happened at the Bedfords. I don’t know what their problem was, you are a great child and anyone would be lucky to have you stay with them. You must understand that none of this isn’t your fault. Some people are just odd to say the least.”
           “Mrs. Turner why didn’t they want me?” Jessa asked.
           “Honey I don’t know. They never gave me a reason why.”
           “I heard Mrs. Bedford say just look at her. Is there something wrong with the way I look?”
           “No child there is anything wrong with you at all. Please Jessa don’t let this get to you. I have to go, but if you ever need to talk just let me know.”
           “Thank you Mrs. Turner.”
           Jessa started to cry. Maybe I’ll feel better tomorrow she thought. Maybe I just need some sleep I haven’t sleep much since Aunt Beth showed up. I just need to quit thinking about all of this, get a good night’s sleep and try to move on. Jessa turned down her bed and fell fast asleep.
           Jessa’s sleep was restless. All night she dreamed of her mother, that she was standing in a field and calling out to her. But no matter how hard she tried Jessa could not get to her or hear what she said. In her dream Jessa was just standing there crying because she couldn’t get to her.
           When Jessa woke the next morning she was tired she felt as if she hadn’t slept at all. Try as she might she still thought about her aunt.
           “Jessa Mrs. Drew wants to see you.” A girl stepped through the door and told her.
           I wonder what she wants now. Jessa thought as she got out of bed and got dressed. Can’t she just leave me alone for one day? What is with this woman, it’s like she takes pleasure out of seeing me miserable.
           “Jessa have a seat.” Mrs. Drew said.
            “Mrs. Drew I promise you I never said a word to that couple.” Jessa started to explain.
           “I know you didn’t. That’s not what I want to talk to you about.”
           “Oh.”
           “Jessa I want you to know that Mrs. Turner will be here tomorrow to take you to another foster home.” Mrs. Drew explained
           “What! After everything that happened yesterday! Can’t you at least give me time to get over that?” Jessa all but shouted.
           “Ms. Parks do not take that tone with me. You need to toughen up, this kind of thing happens all the time. I cannot just up and stop placing children in homes because they need time. If I did that this orphanage would be running over with children. Do you understand?”
           “Yes Mrs. Drew.”
           “Good. Now as I was saying Mrs. Turner will be here tomorrow to take you to a new foster home. I suggest you take today and get ready. I have had you excused from all of you classes today, but you are to go straight and see Mr. Henson when you leave my office. You may go now.”
           Jessa got up and headed to Mr. Henson’s office.
           “You wanted to see me Mr. Henson?” Jessa asked upon entering the room.
           “Yes I did. How are you?” he asked.
           “I’m fine I guess. It doesn’t matter, Mrs. Drew is sending me to a new home tomorrow.”
           “So she said. How is your novel coming along?”
           “It isn’t. I still haven’t found anything to write about.”
           “You will just let it come to you.”
           “Mr. Henson can I go? I really
