"So." Dan starts as him and Phil grab my stuffs and carry it to my new bedroom in their apartment. "What do you like to do Katie?" I look at the small bag in my hand filled with paper and my drawing equipment.
"Drawing." Phil looks over his shoulder to me. "Cool! Anything else?" I I bite my lip and try to think.
"Um. Not getting beat up at school?" The two men look at me concerned. "What?"
Dan looks at me, his brown eyes examining me. "Why do you get beat up at school?" I shrug.
"I dunno. Cause of my appearance, my attitude. Everything really." Phil drops my things and pulls me into a hug.
"Well you are changing schools then. I'm not gonna have you being bullied." I hug back awkwardly. Is this what it feels like to have parents?

"PHIL! Can you help me set up my camera?" I hear Dan shouting down the hall. I lift myself off the comfy bed and to his room where he has a load of stuff set up as if he is about to shoot a movie.
"Whoa." Is all I can get out. Dan looks over to me and smiles. "Wanna help?" I nod and look at the equipment more closely, making sure not to touch it in case I break it.
"Wh-what do I do?" Phil walks in and places a hand on my shoulder which makes me tense up. "You can help me behind the camera if you want? Dan is just gonna make a video for his YouTube channel." I nod. Not that I really get this.
"You heard of YouTube Katie?" Dan asks as he does a quick tidy of his room. I shake my head. "Well. Me and Phil are YouTubers which means we make videos for people's entertainment. We do vlogs which is basically when we make a video about what has happened to us recently."
"Okay." Phil gets me to stand behind the camera with him. "Off you go Dan."

"So. Waddya think Katie?" I snap out of daydreaming. "Oh. Urgh. It's all pretty overwhelming to be perfectly honest. But then I have never had a family. Phil looks at me with that pitiful glance and then goes back to helping pack stuff away.
"You will get used to it. Promise. It may be a bit strange for the first few weeks as we need to settle in too. But it will all work out. We won't let you go back to that orphanage." I try to stop myself from crying.
Do they really care about me like that? Why? No one ever likes me, let alone wants me in their family. These two men seem perfectly happy together.
I excuse myself and go to my bedroom where I brush away my tears and get my drawing stuff out. I grab a piece of paper where I had been drawing a galloping horse and carry on with the face.
About and hour later, Phil comes in my room, hands behind his back attempting to hide the relatively large box he is holding. "Um. Katie, we realised you didn't have any technology in your bags." I shake my head. "Stupid rule at the orphanage won't let us kids have tech."
"Well. We bought you this." Phil btings the box forward and hands it to me. "A. A laptop?" Phil smiles warmly. "Yea. We bought it a while ago but never got round to using it."
I stand up from my bed and hug Phil. "Thank you. Both of you. You have given me so much already and I havn't even been here for two days yet."
Phil hugs back. "No problem Katie. You are part of this household now. Nothing will change that."
SUP! So. Noy sure about where this is going yet and I am writing this all now but I am ill so I have nothing to do so I am writing.
