Bryce Pov

I took a deep breath and released, I was in my office, looking through contracts, and my emails for brand deals and invitations. Being me, an social media meme, bad boy, and social media star comes with it ups and down, with the media constantly putting you as an 'Asshole' and 'Cheater' effects everything that I work for, I have been making an small business, but I need the money from brand deals and rumors for it to happen but with everything going on it becomes less and less, I put my head on the table, I started to think of what if I didn't do social media, I would have stayed at my old job, have a fiance and a kid or two, I have always wanted kids but at the same time it is too much work, and who would want to date someone like me especially now? But if I had a child they would stay by my side as I stayed by theirs and protect them. I smiled at the possibility and decided to go on a drive to clear my head, I grabbed my keys and took a drive in my tesla. 

I drove around random streets and roads of Los Angeles, looking at the different buildings and letting the breeze run through my hair as my windows were rolled down, I drove through a street that I was un aware of, it was peaceful and the architecture was beautiful, it felt like I came into an new civilization, as I drove through the streets one particular building stood out from the rest

'Phoenix Adoption Center'

I parked my car in the parking lot and walked into the center and the workers instantly knew me and it sucks as they are all females, I mentally groaned as I am not prepared on meeting any fans, don't get me wrong I love all of them but sometimes I want to be treated as a normal person. I went to the front desk and all I heard was squeals, I mentally groaned I am growing annoyed, an older woman came out she saw me looking annoyed and the women fangirling, she looked like she understood what was happening

"Ladies this man came here for a reason, go back to work" she dismissed them making them scoff and go back to work, "I am deeply sorry my name is Ms. Edwards, how may I help you?" she asked looking at me, "Hello Ms. Edwards, I'm Bryce and I am looking to adopt a child" the words fell out of my mouth, but I am already here might as well do it, "Ok dear what is your age range" she asked handing me a paper, ok wow this is actually happening, ok lets think this through,

"Uh about 8 to 14" I responded, she nodded, "Gender?" she asked and I responded, "Female", "Race?" she asked, "I don't mind" I responded, "Ok lastly any preferences, anything that your specifically looking for?" she asked, I shook my head making her nod, I filled out the form she gave me and handed it to her. She then led me to a room, she went to an intercom and called out, girls between 10 to 14 to come downstairs, after literally one minute a stamp peed of children rushed downstairs, and a woman came down with them, she looked at me and smirked, I am immediately uncomfortable, one girl came down with her head down and it baggy clothes and a beanie on and she stood at the back, based on what I am seeing the girls looked happy and have on normal girl clothes but not her, she piqued my interest, I talked to all of the children one by one but none of them really stood out to me, I walked to the mysterious girl. I walked to the little girl, bent down to her level

"Hello I am Bryce and you are" I introduced myself to her, she looked at me stunned, "He- hello Mr. Bryce I am Sofie" her soft voice spoke, "Don't be afraid I won't hurt you" I knew she was afraid of me but why? All the other kids were confident and happy while she was sad and scared, I couldn't see her face, her long brown locks of curly hair blocked her face

"Sofie I promise I won't hurt you but tell me about yourself" I spoke calmly, she looked up at me, making her hair fell back a little revealing her beautiful oval face, her arched eyebrows, petite nose, small but plumped peached filled lips, and lastly her big beautiful sapphire eyes. "I am Sofie, I like drawing, baggy clothes, contortion and I am eight years old" she spoke softly with an smiled on her face, making me smile as well, she was so beautiful, I winked at her and went to Ms. Edwards and the other woman from earlier, "Hey I am back and I am ready to adopt an child" I spoke confidently making the old woman smiled, she sent everyone upstairs, she looked at me, "Yes of course Mr. Hall, which young lady with that?" she politely asked me, "Sofie" she nodded and went to her office, the other woman from early started to flirt with me but I ignored her. Thankfully Ms. Edwards came back paperwork in her hands, she explained that they are important documents and paperwork 

Sofie then came down with Ms. Edwards, she looked at me confused, I stoop down to her level as she walked to me, "Hey Sofie, I want you to know that you are special and beautiful" I spoke making her blush at my words, "And I would also like for you to be apart of my family" I spoke with my hands out, she looked at me with tears in her eyes, she wrapped her small arms around my neck making me hug her back, she softly spoke yes making me smile.
