Delphine's POV
Sitting in this stuffy car I watch as the cars pass by us. Mr. Carter sits in the driver's seat as he continues to ignore my rare questions about my future. Two days ago my mom was found dead in a ditch.
Poetic isn't it. A druggie actually dying in a ditch. When she left a few days ago she hadn't had her 'fix' in a while and when out on a bender. When the cops showed up they had informed me of their finding her body.
They took me back to the station and tried to find me any relatives that would take me in. Somehow they found my dad, apparently, he had been on my birth certificate and had been approved by the state.
Mr. Carter was my social worker and had actively ignored me since he got my case. He wouldn't even tell me where we are going or who my father is only that the paperwork was signed.
Here I am sitting in Mr. Carter's dusty car waiting for him to stop at my new home. We have been in this car for a few hours and haven't made a single stop. I close my eyes and lean up against the windows.
Feeling the car stop and a door slam I jerk up and loo around to see a two-story tan house in front of me. Mr. Carter has my bags outside and moves to the front door. I get out and grab my bags moving to the house. A girl my age answers the door with a pencil behind her ear with her hair in a messy bun.
"Is Dominic Hale here?" Mr. Carter's voice asks her showing me that he can indeed speak.
"Yes, I'll grab him." The girl looks at me and widens her eye before walking away. I could hear people talking inside along with some people walking. A minute later a man walks out and heads toward us.
As he gets closer his large frame takes up most of the doorway, his tattooed arms cross over his body as he glares at Mr. Carter. His dark brown hair is cut short and his blue eyes match my one blue eye.
He looks over at me and his eyes soften before turning back to his former appearance to Mr. Carter.
"Are you Dominic Hale?" Mr. Carter's voice snaps at the man.
"Yes." His tone matches.
"I'm here to drop off Delphine." Mr. Carter looks over at me.
"Great, come in Delphine." I walk in with my bags while looking around the house appears clean and put together. The house is cohesively decorated a few picture frames are up with what looks like a family reunion. I hear the door shut and steps behind me.
"Nice to see you, Delphine." His gaze is much softer and his voice is more calming.
"You too." I try to give him a small smile but my nap in the car was really restful.
"Lets me introduce you to everyone else, and then show you your room." I nod and follow him through the house.
He directs me to the kitchen, a man sits over by the stove watching as a middle-aged woman stands cooking. The young girl from before sits at the table her blonde hair in a slightly better bun. The woman has the same hair down her back and the man has light brown hair.
"Delphine this is my best friend Cyrus, his wife Honey, and their daughter Mina." All of them turn to me and greet me with a small smile. The woman, Honey, walks over to me and gives me a hug. I stand frozen in her embrace until she backs off and smiles at me widely.
"Mina has a twin brother, Nico, he'll be back later for you to meet. You all are in the same grade." I nod my head again at Dominic.
"You must be tired I'll show you your room." Dominic leads me to the hallway off the living room. "Everyone else room is upstairs, this was the guest room, now it's yours. I had Honey and Mina decorate it but if you want to redecorate it you can."
When he opens the door the grey room takes my interest. It's a simple room but I love it. The bed lays in the middle of the room with the head f the bed against the wall and a nightstand on the left side.
"It's fine."
"I'll come to get you in a few hours for dinner." He starts to leave the room before he stops. "What did the social worker tell you about me?" He looked nervous as he asked me.
"Nothing really just that you were my bio dad, and that you were approved for my guardianship. Why?"
"Nothing it can wait for when you're more rested."
"K" With that he leaves the room leaving me to unpack and have a nap.
There will be:
Cursing, guns/weapons, alcohol, mild drug mentions, blood, violence.
There might be:
Sexual assault/rape, spicy scenes (not yet been determined will adjust when finished).
If there are any grammatical, spelling, or plot holes please point them out to me so I can fix them.
Thank you
