life doesn’t start out well for her - not that she would remember. her dads liked to call her a miracle baby ; a tribute to the fact she was found abandoned in some cardboard box by a dumpster. the elderly woman that found her said she was drawn to the place - only to see the quiet child inside. they don’t know how long she had been there, but she was in the hospital for a month while the case worker tried to find the culprit of the neglectful abandonment. they never did. instead, she was sent to a group home for young kids where the man in charge named her kylie - date of birth march 16th ; the day her luck helped her be found.

the group home has more than one adult. there’s the house father, gregory, who lost his only child years before he decided to help others, and there was yvonne, gregory’s third wife unable to have children. they were not bad people ; in fact, quite trusted with social workers. it was clear how devoted they were to the children they were given and how much they loved them. even as a teenager, kylie retains contact with the first couple she was homed to.

but it is a home for young kids, which means her time there was bound to be limited. after 11, kids were sent to group homes for teenagers - meaning they were on a time limit and the clock constantly ticked for them. kylie is there until three months after her 4th birthday ; after two nice men gave her a pink bowed bear for a present. turns out, her case worker had been friends with them for years and after a night out, told them about her newest - and youngest - client. three days later and the meeting was scheduled. charmed by the dimpled smile kylie gave them and her arms around their leg in form of a greeting hug, the two had decided they were adopting a second daughter.

kylie is no stranger to being the youngest. the closest child in the group home was three years older than her ; so being introduced to her new sister who was two years older was not a shock to the girl. if anything, kylie was constantly hovering around her - asking what courtney was doing and if she could help her. their dads thought it was cute how the two seemed to get along, playing nicely and sharing their toys with each other. the impulsive decision to adopt another child seemed like it wasn’t going to end badly.

in a way, kylie idolized her new sister, apparent by the way she seemed to always be mimicking courtney in some way - from eating habits to the way she organized her toys. this doesn’t stop even into teenage years. when kylie entered high school two years after courtney, she gravitated toward the same extracurricular activities. many people knew of kylie because of this. with her tendency to flit between the different “cliques” and her abundance of genuine friendliness, she was liked by many. however, the beginning of her sophomore year, kylie began to drift from the constant activity and energetic display of willingness to participate in the planning and execution of many events around the school. with the court case and her sister’s involvement - and secret - being announced to the entire world, kylie was more distracted than she would like to have been.
