A/n- Picture above is cole.

I wake up in a white room with an incessant beeping. I look down and see an IV. I smell the familiar smell of hospital. I look up and in comes a nurse. She smiles warmly and comes over "good you're awake. I'm gonna do an amnesia test to make sure you don't have any amnesia. Who are you?" She finally starts.

"I'm Cole Broady" I reply quickly and quietly
She replies just like I did. "Aged?"
"Im 17 years of age."
"Date of Birth?"
"1/19/03" I reply quickly.
"Last question, cole. What full date is today?" A man in a suit comes and and I get distracted and confused but I knew I recognized him.
"2020-uh... it's 1/19/2020."

Just as she is getting ready to leave an alarm goes off and a speaker says. "Code Blue... Hazmat ICU Room 1." She starts hurrying and quickly says. "We are gonna have you sign him out today after you sign papers with Child Services." I role my eyes and the nurse disappears the CPS agents come in and say "this is a adoption paper." The man signs it. I sit on the bed watching confused. The woman agent pointed her attention to me. "The local office will interview you in two weeks from the up coming Monday." I smile and quietly say "okay".

They leave and the man says "im your father, cole." He smile and I am shocked. "W-why did you leave. I thought y-you were a drunk." I say panic filling my smallish 5'6" frame. I flash back to when my mother attacked me when I was crying because I thought i broke the tv in our rental house. I happy to he pulled away when he reply "your mom was abusive towards me and I tried to take you but she ran away with you so I left assuming she wouldn't come back. She wasn't on alcohol at the time though and at that point wasn't a drunk nor was she bad to you so I though you were safe, cole, I'm so sorry." He tears up as he finishes the speech. "I'm sorry, I was mad, at you for so long." He looks like he wants to hug but holds himself back. I didn't feel like being touched so I was grateful for that.
My father signs me out and we go to In-N-Out.

Little Later

"So...where are we going?" I ask as I notice we are driving south on the highway to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in a Tesla Model X. "We are going home to New York." I smile a little excited but also sad about my friends. Then I remember. "I have and dog and two cats, can we please go back to get them?" he reply quickly with. "No I'm allergic to cats and i dont like dogs theyre messy. Ask a friend to take them from your house." I shy away shook to the core by his change after we left the hospital. "Ok, I'll text my friends. " I say as I'm about to cry but I take a quick breath in and text my friends. After I finish texting them we pull up. I get out and follow him out onto the tarmac.

I'm shocked we are on the tarmac as I'm about to ask why I see a obvious private jet. I get into the first chair I see and buckle in and my father passes me and sits as far as he can from me in the back lounge.
I sigh.

I listen to music the entire way on my phone it is old Samsung so I use my earbuds. I feel us start desending so i put my only two possessions in my pocket and prepare to get off this damn death sky tube. When we land I'm the first one off the plane and my father says from the top of the stairs "im going to Washington DC I have to go to congress." I look in awe and just kinda wave. He yells "you say, yes sir and you don't say no sir." I jump horrified and quickly say "yes sir I'm sorry sir." He looks at me in disgust and goes back into the plane.

I get into the limo he sent for me. "Take me home please" I say timidly. He looks back and smiles. "Okay sir. I'm assuming the main one." I look up shocked and say "how many are there" he chuckles and says "soho, Hamptons, and penthouse" I smile. "Good to know. What else should I know." He replies with his eyes trained on the road "you'll get and allowance of $10000 a week. If you have a license, mr. Broady has a Tesla and huracan for you and your siblings to use while I'm on vacation or if you like to drive yourself." My mouth is left agape. "I thought he was an asshole" he laughs hard this time. "No one has called him out like that. He can be but he just doesn't have patience with wasting time or humor but he can get a bit uptight. He is generous though he tips very well." "Lucky you" I smirk. He chuckle and he parks. "I'll see you tomarrow for school on Monday." I reply quickly. "Thank you." I get out and go into the elevator and hit penthouse. I get out of the elevator as it arrives and get out.

I slowly make my way through the house and when I reach the living room I hear voices and when I appear around the corner, I see a woman, a little boy, and a teen girl are in the room.
The teen girl is watching a weird show called stranger things. The little boy who isn't older than 8 and the woman are playing with Legos. As soon as I appear the boy and woman stand up and the teem pauses the show and comes over. She is the first to break the stare down. "You don't look 17." I laugh at her judgments "I have a diploma I graduated last year." The lady chimes in "hi, I'm Chelsea. I'm the nanny." She smiles warmly and I smile back but with a little bit of confusion. "I'm 26, I know I look young" she says "you look 18" the teen says "if you're 17 how did you get a diploma" and a smile creeps onto my face again. "I skipped kindergarten" she smiles. "Lucky." I look at the clock and frown. "Its 10:00. I'm gonna go to bed" with that I go up stairs to the door labeled cole. I enter set my phone on my desk and I get into bed after kicking off my shoes.
