It's the next morning. I'm currently waiting for Billie to arrive, in the lobby. Another kid comes up to me and laughed „we both know that you ain't going to stay there for long" and walked away.
Maybe she's right. But with Billie.. i- I feel safe? Wait no that's a bad idea... i shouldn't get too attached to her, i will come back in some weeks anyway.
The door opened and it was Billie with a dog. Oh that must be her dog, shark. „Hey Kira!" She said and greeted me with a hug? Wow. I have never been hugged actually..
I looked up at her and smiled. „This is Shark, my puppy" she said. „Oh hey shark" i said an petted him. „Alright, wait here okay? I just need to sign some papers. I'll be back in just some minutes." Billie told me.
She handed me Shark's leash and let him stay with me. Damn is she really trusting me that much. Shark sniffed me a little and i pet him. Billie came back with the biggest smile „u ready?" she asked me
I don't know? Am I? Am I ready to get hurt again? Am I ready to come back here in just some months again? Probably not but I nodded shyly. I haven't really talked to Billie yet..
She took my backpack where obviously wasn't a lot in there and furrowed her eyebrows. „Is that everything?" she asked. I nodded. „Okay" she said suprised. We walked outside of the center breathing in the fresh cold air. It was a rainy day...
Shark got in the backseat and Billie told me I can sit in the front seat, so I did. I put my seat belt on and Billie did the same. She started the engine and drove off.
We were on the highway when she told me; „you can put in some music if you want" and smiled. „I was never allowed to listen to music, or have a phone" i said quietly. „Oh okay. Tomorrow we will go to the mall and we will buy you everything you'd like, got it?" she asked
I looked at her in disbelief and sighed. What if she only said that because I will have to do... ‚something' for her so I can get things.
„What are you thinking about?" she asked kindly. I didn't respond. „If something bothers you, you know you can tell me right? I won't judge you. You're now my daughter and it's my task to make sure that you're okay and safe. And I know it's hard, but I can't say I know how you feel because I haven't been in that situation like you, in a adoption center. But I want you to know, that no matter how you feel, it's okay. And if you need me, talk to me, or just a hug, you can always come up to me and we will figure it out. i know that at your age, it's not very easy with uhm.. mental health. So if you ever feel like ending things or hurting yourself, please talk to me. I can help you okay?" Billie assured me. I smiled and nodded.
That actually made me feel better.. maybe I should start to trust her. I know it's not a good idea but, maybe this will be my forever home.
We pulled up in a driveway. There was this big big house, damn is this bitch rich? I looked confused. Then I remembered. Oh yeah she said she's an artist and her and her brother are making music.
We got out of the car and she took my backpack again, I took shark. She opened the door and let me inside.
