Family means more.

Chapter 8 Stay.

Today was the day, my bags were packed, I was ready but I didn't wanna go. I wanted to stay with Liv. She tried at least but I knew their lawyers would win. We all entered an interrogation room and I was shaking all over. "Why'd you wanna adopt her" my mother sneered and I looked to Olivia confused. Adopt?

"Because she deserves someone who'll actually take care of her" Olivia replied.

"I took care of her. Then she went off and slept with my brother" my mom scoffed.

"It was rape" Liv said getting angry.

"Prove it" my dad snapped.

"I don't need too" Liv snapped back. I just watched.

"Fin keep the little slut. She could never meet out standards anyway" my mom said and my dad nodded in agreement. They signed the forms. This wasn't happening! This sort of thing doesn't happen to me!!! I squealed with excitement as I ran into Olivia's arms.

"I can stay" I whispered and she laughed slightly.

"Yeah you can stay" she smiled and I let my whole body relax. I was safe. I didn't feel like I was being suffocated by fear or pressure anymore.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" I squealed squeezing her tightly.

"You're welcome" she said and I let her go realising I was crushing her internal organs. "Well you wanna get some food?" she asked.

"YES I'm starving!" I said still feeling overjoyed.

"Come on let's go get McDonalds" she said. She has learned that McDonalds is my life. I would eat it everyday if I could. We ate and talked awhile until it was time to head home. I loved saying that. Home. My home. Not that hell whole were I used to live. It did have everything a teenager could want but it didn't have a loving family. That's something I've learned from my time here with Olivia, family is everything.

We get back and I give Elliot a huge hug. "Well somebody's happy. I take it things went OK?" he asked.

"Yeah I get to stay! I don't have to worry about my parents! They're moving to Fiji!" I exclaimed excitedly. He smiled down at me, I love his smile it's really warm and kind like him.

"So you'll be staying awhile I guess" he said and I nodded.

"You're stuck with me" I joked.

"Damn I'm stuck with you" he joked back.

"Well just until I'm 18" I laughed and he nodded.

"OK I'll just have to live with that" he sighed dramatically. I ignored him and brought my attention to him and Liv.

"Well the question is where will I be staying until I'm 18?" I asked taking Liv and El by the hand and pulling them together.

"Well I guess you could stay here...if that's OK with Liv" he said looking deep into her eyes.

"Yeah that'd be fine..,.." Liv trailed and I knew what they were gonna do. Elliot kissed her passionately and I slowly backed out to give them privacy. I was so glad I could stay. Everything was just falling into place.
