~Jamie's POV~

It's been two days since we got everything from the store, and I couldn't be happier with how my new room came out. The walls are a navy blue, and have these really pretty tree stickers along with this butterfly that has music notes coming from the wings. My bed has a white almost pillow like headboard with white and navy blue bed sheets. Mr. Valler let me get rid of the dark wood furniture and replace it with white plastic ones. I now have two white night stands that have a vase with plastic white flowers in them. My windows have really pretty dark navy blue and white curtains that help keep the sun light out. I'm not a big fan of the sun, so my skin is relatively pale which I'm honestly okay with. On my closet door I have a white panel that has a black capital J on it. I love this new room, and I love that this is a new start for me. The Valler's and I have become a lot closer than I thought we would in such a small amount of time. I never thought in a million years that I would be happy anywhere but my old house with my real mom and dad, but I know that that will never happen. I still think about them and my nightmare's are nothing but them and my final moments with them. It's hard to sleep and not wake up in tears, my life changed so much on that day and I hate it. I hate not knowing if they're happy and actually together like they should be. I was pulled from my thoughts by the sound of Mrs. Valler's voice.

"Jamie, it's time for dinner."

I stood from my spot at the window and walked downstairs to the dining room. I took my seat next to Mrs. Valler as she gave me some of the spaghetti, I thanked her as she smiled at me.

"Your welcome sweetie, so, how'd you sleep?"

I looked down with a sad look on my face.

"I didn't, I just sat at my window thinking, I love the room, I just haven't slept much in the last few years."

"Yeah, we understand that, you know if you can't sleep, you could always just come down and watch T.V.. After dinner I'll have Bob show you how it works if you want?"

"Are you sure, I wouldn't want to cause any trouble."

I looked between the two of them and Bob smiled.

"It's no trouble at all, Jamie, we want you to be comfortable here, not feel like you have to stay in your room."

"Well, if it's no trouble."

They smiled, before we started eating, it wasn't long until Angie looked at me.

"Jamie, if you don't mind me asking, what put you in the orphanage?"

I looked at her.

"When I was six I was in a car accident with my parents, I was the only survivor."

They both looked at each other, Angie looked back at me.

"Is that why you can't sleep at night sweetie?"

"Yeah, I was in the car with them and the last thing my dad told me was that he and my mom love me very much. That they would always be with me as long as I keep them in my heart."

"And your mom, what did she say?"

"Nothing, she passed away once the car flipped."

"I'm so sorry sweetie."

I shrugged my shoulders and removed the tear from my cheek.

"Can I please be excused?"

"Of course."

"Thank you."

I walked back upstairs taking my seat at the window, I sat there for a minute before my door slowly creaked open. I turned my head to see Angie walking into the room taking a seat next to me, we sat there a moment as she sighed.

"I would like to try something, and I hope that you won't mind. I talked to Bob, and he's agreed that until you start sleeping right, that one of us will stay the night with you. Tonight, just so happens to be my night, would you like to lay down and try to get some sleep?"

"Sure, but no promises."

She smiled.

"I can handle that."

She and I walked over to the bed, I pulled back the covers for the first time since it was set up and crawled in, she crawled in next to me and I laid there.

"You can cuddle up to me if you want sweetie, please don't be shy, that's what I'm here for."

I did as she said and she wrapped her arms around me hugging me close as my eyes slammed shut. I slept for the first time in a little over two years, I just hope that I'm not crossing any boundaries, I really like them.

~Jamie's POV(Weeks)~

It's been two weeks since Mr. and Mrs. Valler started staying with me. I can honestly say that I haven't slept so well in the longest time. I actually think that tonight I'm gonna try sleeping on my own. I still kinda feel like a bother to these really nice people, and I hate it. I was pulled from my thoughts by Angie calling for me.

"Jamie, can you come down here for a minute, Bob and I want to talk to you about something."

"Coming."

I walked down the stairs and into the living room sitting on the couch next to them. Angie took my hand in hers and I looked at her afraid of what was to come.

"Sweetie, I have something to tell you and I hope that you understand how hard this is for us to have to tell you."

I looked down before standing from the couch.

"That's okay, I get it, what time do I need to be packed by?"

She let out a small humorless giggle.

"Oh sweetie, you're not going anywhere, Bob and I wanted to let you know something that's going on with me so you don't get any wrong ideas, please sit down let me explain, alright."

"Alright, what's going on?"

"Well I went to the doctor a few weeks ago, while you we're in school. I got the results of my tests a few days ago and as it turns out I have a form of blood cancer. I can't eat certain things and I'll be in a lot of pain, but I don't want you to worry, everything will be alright. I'll start chemo and I'll get all of the medications and hopefully everything will be alright."

"What happens, if it's not gonna be alright?"

Bob took her hand in his as they looked at each other with sad eyes before looking back at me.

"Angie will join your parents in heaven, and it'll just be you and me. I promise everything will be alright though, you won't lose either of us. She's going to fight this and hopefully win, we'll always be here for you."

I let a few tears slide down my face before I gave Angie a hug, and Bob took my small hand in his. As he held Angie's hand in his other one, I pulled away from her with a small sad smile.

"Can I call you Mom and Dad?"

I saw tears slide down Angie's cheeks, Bob smiled at me knowing that I was doing this more for her than for me. If I'm being honest I won't be able to call them mom and dad for me, it'll always be for them. They're good people and deserve to be called mom and dad. Even if it doesn't mean anything to me, as long as it means the world to them, I looked at Angie and she pulled me into a hug.

"Of course you can, whenever you're ready."

I smiled, placing a soft kiss on her cheek.

"Alright mom."

After that Bob stood from the couch walking over to the stereo. He plugged in his phone and the sound of Billy Joel filled the room. I hadn't heard this kind of music for a long time, one of my favorite songs started playing. I couldn't help the smile or even the way I belted out the words to The longest time, Angie smiled, while Bob looked shocked.

"Where did you learn this song?"

"Let's just say someone very special used to listen to it in his car."

They knew who I was talking about, I just didn't want to rub it in their face that I had real parents. They already know, they don't need to be reminded of it twenty four seven. I like these people, and I'm glad that they're the ones who found me.
