Adopted by Chris Evans

Part 8

Kayla's POV 

I heard soft knocks coming from my room door and I rolled over to check what time it was. I may have gotten a little excited and set my phone up in the middle of the night. 7:10am. IT'S 7 IN THE DAMN MORNING. 

"Go away", I say as I take one of my pillows and shove it over my head. I don't mean to be rude but I am not a morning person.

"Kay come on, get ready we have a full day today", Chris yelled back through the door.

With a loud groan I finally got out of bed and went to the bathroom the was connected to my room. I looked in the mirror and I was horrified. my hair was everywhere and worse than usual, I had drool on the side of my face and I needed some lotion badly. 

I stomp over to my door to go find Chris and tell him I'm not leaving the house looking like this. I open the door and he falls back into my room with a thud. 

"sir what are you doing?" I asked with a raised eyebrow while looking down on him.

"I was waiting on you duhh", he said like it was obvious. he stood up completely and looked down on me taking in my appearance and  became self conscious.

"yeah take it in. I look horrid I'm not going to be ready any time soon. do you see this freaking head!" I slightly exclaimed while pointing theatrically to myself. I can see him begin to chuckle. nothing is funny right now. I can't go in public like this especially not with Chris.

I glared at him and crossed my arms and he put his hands up in surrender.

"hey, go get dressed and all that and I'll help you with your hair. well at least try."

with that I sighed and walked away to grab my stuff and headed to the bathroom to get ready quickly. when I was done I started wondering around looking for Chris with my hair products in hand. I found him playing with dodger on the couch in the living room. I stopped in front of him and handed him all the stuff in my hand.

"please don't hurt me, I'm very tender headed." he chuckled in response and motioned for me to follow him to where I assuming will be a bathroom. again nothing is funny.

"ok sit down child." I did as I was told and sat down so that we could begin. I parted my hair because he has big hands and might be too heavy handed for my liking. he sprayed some water on my hair and some cream and I taught him that you have to start from the end and work upwards so that I didn't end up bald.

I think he did pretty good, I just left my hair down to keep it simple then we left to the doctors then the mall.

*time skip*

 A bunch of lies about how I got my burn and one burn treatment later, we're now shopping. well more like me longingly looking at things but not wanting to ask so Chris has to force me to accept them.

"Chris please, you're spending too much money on me."

Chris' POV

"Chris please, you're spending too much money on me." Kayla said while she flung some of the bags full of stuff that I bought her. she deserves to be spoiled and to get the best childhood that she can and I'm going to provide it with every bone in my body.

"nonsense, I need to spoil my kid." I know that she didn't officially agree but I'm going to do my very best to make her want to stay.

"Chris I haven't even agreed yet, stop acting like I'm your child when you're just going to leave me too."Kayla said obviously frustrated. all the previous adults in her life really did a number on her. It's my job now to show her the love that she deserves .

I take her to a more secluded area and I crouch down  a bit so I'm closer to her level in order for her to know that I mean it when I say what I'm about to say. 

"Kayla, listen to me. hey look at me. I'm leaving you, I'm not giving you away. I'm going to be here for you whether you like it or not. I love you, you are loved and I'll give you the whole world because that's what my child deserves."

she started sniffling and looked down and mumbled "That was so cringe and nice. thanks Chris, really."

I chuckled and gave her a quick hug before standing up. nodding my head towards the nearest exit I said  "c'mon we're going home and setting up your room" we left the mall and road home in a comfortable silence. 

when we got inside dodger immediately greeted us at the door and all three of us headed up to Kayla's room to start putting stuff up and away. I go on the Disney+ app on her tv so we have something playing in the background while we work

"Chriiiis", she called out to me extending the "I" so I'm assuming that she wants something 

"Yes child"

"Can we put on Hamilton" she asked as she gave me her best puppy dog eyes even though I would say yes anyways. I chuckled at her antics and searched up Hamilton and put it on.

immediately she started singing and rapping. I'll keep this in mind for later. I started recording her while she was rapping and dancing to a song that I'm assuming is called 'my shot'. Since we got some LED lights up she switched them to blue and stared dramatically into the distance.

"I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory-" and I started busting out laughing and ended the video. she switched the color of the lights and when the song came to an end she hit the same ending pose as the guys on the musical. I dramatically clapped and laughed as she took a bow.

"thank you thank you. I know I'm amazing." we laughed and continued to set up the room 

*time skip cause I'm lazy*

Kayla's POV 

We were done setting up my room and I loved it, of course I'll maybe collect more things as time goes on if I get to stay here. I really don't know if Chris will truly accept me but hopefully he does, so far he's doing a pretty good job hopefully I am too. 

We decided to turn in for the night so I did my new night routine since my lovely guardian bought me some new stuff so I incorporated all of that in and made sure to braid my hair down and put a bonnet on so I didn't have another terrible morning. 

I made my way to my bed and drifted off to what I thought would be a peaceful sleep but boy was I wrong. I woke up sweet beaming on my head while I frantically looked around and breathed heavily. I couldn't register where I was I just needed air. I was gasping and thrashing trying to get the blankets off of me which caused me to knock some things off of my bedside table.

I heard a door open and I felt arms around me but I couldn't hear anything. the person started rubbing my back while trying to help me breathe and I realized I was with Chris and I was trying to listen to his instructions and inhaled and exhaled. I finally calmed down and looked up at him and the first thing that left my mouth was an apology.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to wake you" I said whilst wiping my tears. he hushed me within seconds.

"no no no, don't be sorry, what's wrong. what happened.?"

"please please please don't send me back" I was delirious and couldn't process anything correctly . "please she'll kill me, I don't wanna go" I begged. I just really don't want to be alone right now and I think that he sensed that because he picked me up like I was a small child and took me to lay with him and dodger.

"you don't have to talk about now but I'm not going to abandon Kay, now get some sleep. I have someone for you to meet tomorrow."

and with that I dosed off for the second time but I didn't have any nightmares.
