A couple is here to adopted someone. I know I'll be staying. I'm 16 and nobody wants an older kid, they want the little kids. After 11 most of us don't get adopted. So there's me 16, then there's Alex who's 15, there's Marcus who is also 16 and mason who is 13. The rest are all younger than 11 years old. One of them is the lucky one.
Mrs. Margaret started calling us into a room for our interviews. First went the "babies", then it was Mason, then Alex, Marcus and finally me.
I slowly walk to the room. Even though I know it's not going to happen, and I do these all the time, I still get nervous. Its like going in front of the class and presenting something, but your presenting your self in front of your possibly future parents.
Wow... there's 6 guys sitting in the room instead of a couple. Alright this is wierd.
"Hello" the one sitting in the middle of them greeted me.
"Hi" I said back quickly then sat down.
"My names conner, that's ricky, kian, sam, jc, and trevor" he told me and smiled.
"Carter" I gave him a smile back.
I can't belive these kids are here. Some of them look 20 at the oldest and my aged at the youngest. Can they even adopted?
"How old are you?" I think it's kian who asked me.
"16"
They asked me all these other questions, some weird and what I thought were unnecessary. Some that every couple ask when they come looking for a child. By the time we were done they all were looking at each other and smiling, then they looked back at me and smiled. I smiled an awkward smile back and left the room.
We all sat on the couch in the living room waiting to find out wether or not someone leaves today and who it is. Its hard every time someone does. Especially for the kids that have been her for a while, there practically your siblings.
Mrs. Margaret comes back into the living room after talking with the coup- well group. She has a smile on her face but it looks like she's on the verge of tears. She's looking around the room at all of us but her eyes land on me and stay on me.
"Carter, will you please come with me?" She smiles her beautiful smile she always does.
I get up and follow her. We walk back down the the hall into the interview room. When we walk in the guys are in a circle talking but when they see that we were here they turned and looked at us.
"Carter, Conner is adopting you today, you have a new home with theses guys."
She said with tears filling her eyes.
"What?" I ask as if I was confused. Nobody adopts older kids.
"Yep your going home with us" Conner says and they all smile.
Oh my god... I'm have a home, an actual home, a family. I've been here since I was 9 and now I'm leaving. But what about Alex and Marcus. There my best friends. What am I going to do with out them.
"Carter?" Mrs. Margaret ask.
I look up and tears fall down my face and I'm not sure wether there happy tears or not. She gives me a hug and tells me to go pack my stuff and say goodbye. I leave the room, walk back down the hallway, up the stairs and to my bedroom. I grab everything I have and fit it into 2 suit cases.
I walk towards the door but stop and give my room one last look. When I open the door and get to the hallway and Alex is standing there. We meet eyes and she runs up to me and gives me a hug. We both are crying by now. Alex had been here as long as me and we've been through everything together. She's my best friend and I'm gonna miss her like crazy.
"Promise you'll come visit." Alex managed to get out after catching her breath again.
"I promise, all the time." I said bringing her back in for a hug.
After our hug we walk down stairs together and into the living room were everybody else was. Marcus sees me and walk to give me a hug. We stayed like that for what felt like forever. He practicality my brother. After bringing everyone for a hug. We said our last goodbyes and I leave the living room back towards my new family and Mrs. Margaret.
When Mrs. Margaret see that I've been crying she start to cry and brings me into a hug. She tells me she'll miss me and that I'm going to be happy were I'm going and that I could visit any time I wanted. After our hug I look at the boys and they gave me small smiles. Ricky and Sam grabbed my bag and conner asked if I was ready I responded shaking my head with a small smile.
We walked out the door towards there car. They put my stuff in the back and we all piled in. I sat between kian and Jc. I just stared out the window at the orphanage until I couldn't see it anymore. I then looked around the car. This is my new family and I am so great full for them.
