Cameron's POV:
JJ and I went to the office to talk to the lady in charge. She goes by Ms.Keisha.
She's about 35 but looks SO much older.

She was all nice and stuff until I said that I wanted to adopt Spencer. She rolled her eyes but I ignored it.
What crawled up this ladies ass this morning?

Her tone is bored now.

She told me that Spencer weighs 58 pounds, and has anxiety.

I was right, she's EXTREMELY under weight.

She gave me directions to Spencer's room after I signed the papers claiming her as ...
Spencer Lynn Dallas.

She didn't have a middle name either so I made her one.
I call the guys and tell them it's a girl, so pick out girly furniture.

I walked upstairs to her room. I knocked softly before opening the door.

When I walked in I smiled because I thought she was sleeping. But then I realized she was crying.

My heart broke in two when she stutters out,
"Muh-y day w-as bad en-nough. Pl-ease
d-on't hurt m-e."

What has been going on here?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Spencer's POV:

I feel a hand lightly touch my back and flinch.
I roll over to see Cameron from earlier.

"Do you want to tell me how unwanted I am too?" I ask.

"No sweetie, why are you crying?" he asks sweetly as he wiped my tears with his thumb.

I sniffle and say," I'm so unwanted and I'm sick of it. Every time we have one of these, I get passed up. All the other kids here bully me and tell me the same things I tell myself all the time."

"What if I told you I was adopting you?"

"I wouldn't believe you because I've never even been considered." I say.

"Well get packing because I'm adopting you," he says.

THIS IS NOT HAPPENING!!!

I jump up, scream, and jump up and down. My first real smile in a long time.

I hug him and repeat thank you over and over. He smiles and hugs me back. I'm really short which is another insecurity of mine.
I'm about 4'5.

Afterwards, I pack my 2 pairs of underwear, my 1 pair of shorts, my 1 pair of jeans, and my 3 shirts. I also have another pair of shoes, and 2 sets of pajamas.

I put it all in a small duffle bag and tell Cameron I'm ready to go.
"That's all the clothes you have?" Cameron asks.
I nod,"I wasn't treated fairly by anyone here."

He nods as we walk downstairs.
"So what's my name? Do I actually have a last name now?!" I ask Cameron excitedly.

"You are now Spencer Lynn Dallas," he says with a smile.
"I got a middle name too?!"
"Of course," he replied smiling too.

I stop.
"What's wrong Spencer," he asks with worry in his voice.
"Who's last name is Dallas," I ask.
"Mine."
"Who're my parents?" I ask.
"Well I'm your dad," he says.
"So no mom?"
"No I'm single," he replies with a slight laugh.

We keep walking and when we get down the steps I see JJ, and when I turn around there's Keisha. Ugh.

She puts on a fake smile then whispers in my ear,"Listen here you little brat, they don't love you. They never will. I hate your guts, and they will too. They'll just bring you back." The whole time she's pinching my arm and it as well as the words brings tears to my eyes.

Then that surge of Confidence hits and I say,"Well listen here ya old bat. I'm sick And tired of being abused and pushed around by you. I'm glad to leave and get rid of your bitch ass. You're just mad because someone wants me and you don't have a punching bag anymore. And maybe, you wouldn't have so many wrinkles if you weren't so evil!"
Finally!

I walk out and the guys follow me.

"Spencer what was that all about?" asks JJ.

"She's abused me my whole life. She's the reason I don't have a lot of clothes. I always got last pick. And I barely eat and feel bad about myself because of what she says to me. She's the reason why I have anxiety."

"Well I'm glad that you stood up for yourself, but don't use those words,okay?" Cameron ask/states.

"Okay Cameron, thank you for adopting me," I say once we're in the car.
"It's my pleasure, but it's dad or daddy."he says.

I just stay quiet because that makes me uncomfortable. I don't even know him. I'm not comfortable at all.
So, I play sleep.

But, I end up falling asleep for real.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CAMERON's POV:

"It's my pleasure, but it's dad or daddy." I say.
After I say that, she seems uncomfortable but then she falls asleep.

I have no idea why, but she can't get used to calling me Cameron when I'm her legal parent. It's disrespectful.

We get back and I carry her upstairs and set her in my bed in my room. Her room isn't set up yet.
I kiss her on the forehead and walk out.
Tomorrow, I want to bond with her a little.

So, I'm going to take her shopping for paint, room decorations, and clothes.

I'll discuss with her about school when she wakes up though.

I walk downstairs, and sat down.

"Tell us about her man," says Matt.
"Her name's Spencer. She's 10, she's really underweight, she has brown hair and eyes, I gave her a middle name of Lynn...." I carry on and tell them about her anxiety and bullying and being abused.

When I'm finished, G says," She sounds awesome. Can't wait to meet her."

Everyone else agrees except for JJ since he's already met her.

"So, how was furniture shopping?" I ask.
JJ nods in agreement.
"Yea," he speaks up.

"We ordered the furniture. It should be here tomorrow. It's white-Oh and here's your card." says Nash.
