Adopted By Matthew Espinosa (Hayes Grier)

Chapter 4

CHARLOTTE POV.

We just got out of the orphanage, it reminded me a lot of my past. We got in the car and it went silent. "So," I said smiling out the window. "What happened to Kate?" He asked me straight up. "Well, most people don't like to talk about their past, so I'm not sure. But she gets out in a week or 2," I told him, his face lit up. We pulled up in the drive way and got out of the car, "Thanks G," I said as I looked up to him, "It's okay," He said as he walked me up to door, "Are you staying?" I asked. "Yeah, of course," he said as he came in after me.

"Hey, how was it?" Dad asked as he came and gave me a hug. "It was really good," I said as I looked over at Jack and smiled. "Come here, I want to show you something," Dad said, all of the boys followed behind us. "What is it?" I asked dying to know, he walked me into my room. He got furniture for me which was; a white desk, a bed side table and a closet full of clothes. "Thank you so much!" I said as I bear hugged him. "Thank you all you guys," I said as I went and individual hugged them. After 10 minutes just looking around my room I went downstairs to see the guys just standing there, "What?" I asked.

I walked further to see the lady from the orphanage standing there, my heart stopped. "What's going on?" I asked as I walked towards her. "It's Sophia," She said. "What! Is she okay?" I said frantically, "We don't know, after your visit we went and did checks and she was gone, we don't know where," She said, all the boys just starred at my reaction. "She is only 10, you have to find her!" I said before I walked upstairs and shut the door behind me. I started to cry until someone knocked on the door, "Can I come in?" "Yep," I said as I quickly wiped away my tears. "The lady said that they might know where she is," Hayes told me as he sat on my bed next to me.

"I just feel guilty, that's all," I told him. His big blue eyes looked up at me, "Why do you feel guilty?" "Because I was like her big sister at that place and since I've left she has been really bad apparently," I said looking at the ground. "Char, it's only been 2 days since you have been adopted, there has to be more on her mind," He said, Hayes was actually really good to talk to.

MATT POV.

The lady from the orphanage just left, I went and checked how Charlotte was. "Hey," I said as I knocked on the door, "Hi," She replied giving me a little smile. Her and Hayes were watching a movie or something on his Laptop, "What you watching?" I asked. "Some of your 'Vine' stuff, I want to keep updated," She said smiling, "Have fun! Oh and lunch will be ready in an hour," I said before I walked down the stairs, I felt pretty lucky that I had Charlotte.

Hayes and Charlotte came down the stairs, "Hey can we go to the park after lunch?" Hayes asked. "You can go now if you want," I told them. "Thanks dad," Charlotte said before she quickly hugged me and walked out the door. "Where did they go?" Nash asked walking into the kitchen. "The park," I replied. "Hey, do you think they have been spending a lot of time together?" I asked. His face went a bit pale. "Yeah, but I just thought of like brother and sister," He said, "Yeah, I don't know," I said before I walked out of the kitchen.

CHARLOTTE POV.

Hayes and I went to the park together, it was pretty fun because I never got a chance to do any of this stuff, "So how old are you?" I asked him as we were walking towards the wings. "I'm 15," He replied. "Cool," We climbed trees and talked for an hour but we decided to go home because there was stuff I needed to do before I start school tomorrow, "Are you nervous?" He asked. "Nervous about what?" "School," He said smiling at me. "Right, yeah I guess," I said as we walked into the door, "Hey!" I was yelled at. "Carter!" I yelled before I hugged him.

Carter, Taylor, Gilinsky and Johnson was over. "How was the park?" Dad asked as he sat beside me at the table. "It was really fun!" I said to him while I smiled. After lunch, the other boys decided to help me get everything ready for school, which took a long time. It was 6 o'clock when we finished everything! "I better get going Char," Taylor said," Yeah, me too," All the other boys said, "Okay, thank you for today," I said before I hugged them all. "Good luck tomorrow," Johnson said, "Thanks, I am going to need it," I replied. "Nah, you will be fine, besides Hayes goes there to so it will be fun," Carter said. "Yeah," I smiled. The boys then left, it was fun when the boys were over because it was like having older brothers.

"I am going to go to bed now, Thank you for everything today," I said to dad, Nash and Hayes before I went and hugged them. "Good night," they all said at the same time which made me laugh. I then went to bed, I was in a deep sleep, until my alarm went off, "Great," I said as I turned my alarm off and popped my head back onto the pillow. Lets just say I am not exactly the best morning person.
