Some place happy?

The agency

Evan's POV:

      It has been over a year since I woke up in this world. I turned 8 a little while ago but I didn't enjoy my birthday.

      Why don't we help him get a closer look!

      Birthdays are no fun.

      They keep moving me around, it feels like each month I have to go somewhere else. The places I stay at are nothing really special either, most of them are just like the first one I stayed at. Some are better than others with the adults there trying to talk to me. But I always just talk to them when I am being talked to, and even then, I just give them the minimal response. It's not that I don't like them, every time I am around someone I feel like I can't even breathe. The only person I feel comfortable talking to is Fredbear.

      During the day I also attend public school, just like everything else here there are many things that are more advanced. Sometimes I see the teacher holding what they call a cell phone, it confuses me to see a phone being able to fit in your pocket. I didn't see any dial or buttons on it at all!

      Nobody really talks to me when I am at school. I am mostly ok with this, anyone who ever talks to me is mean to me. But at the same time some part of me feels isolated and lonely. Sometimes I consider talking to others, but I always change my mind, fearing that it will end negatively. Some of the kids in the neighborhood back in my world were nice, but we were never close. Sometimes I wonder if they hung out with me just because they felt sorry for me, or if their parents made them. Not that it matters now.

      "You do not need anyone else. I am the only friend you need." I look at Fredbear. She cares about me, she is very cautious wherever I meet someone new, but her heart is in the right place. Just then I think I see something out of the corner of my eye, so I jump back crying. I take a deep breath and I realizes there was nothing there.

      This has been happening more lately, where I see something, and it turns out to be all in my head. Ever since the bite my fears have intensified. Even knowing that it is not real doesn't stop my tears from flowing as I can still hear Michaels laughs.

      "It is ok, it is over. He will never harm you again." I hug Fredbear harder as I stand up and sit down on my bed. It feels like I can hardly breathe, I continue to hold Fredbear and examine every corner of my room. I can't let them get me! I can't let them get me!

      Tomorrow is another day.

Olivia's POV:

      The family cheers as Mia scores the winning soccer goal. I am so proud of her! After Mia's team is finished wishing a good game to the other team, Mia comes racing over to us.

      "I did it! Mommy, daddy, it was so much fun!" She jumps up and down with excitement. I kneel down to her level and hug her.

      "I knew you could do it sweetie! You are so talented!" Liam joins in and gives her a hug as well. Leo and Emil are equally as excited as they both take turns giving Mia a piggyback ride. I smile seeing the whole family happy.

      "All right everyone, ready to go? After everything is packed up, we can go to the adoption agency to start looking at files!" Everyone confirms that they are ready, and Liam helps me grab the lawn chairs that we brought with us. Once everything is in the van, Liam gets in the driver seat and starts driving to the agency.

      I can see just by looking at the rearview mirror that everyone is excited with anticipation. Why can't this car move faster?!

      "Mommy, will we be bringing our new sibling home today?"

      "I wish, but we are only going to be looking at files today to see possible candidates. Once we find one it will take a few weeks to arrange it." I know that once it is all arranged the wait is going to be miserable. Just the thought of seeing the picture of my future child and not being able to have them yet makes me want to go crazy! But in the end, it will all be worth it!

      It takes an hour to arrive at the agency. Liam parks the car, and we get out. The building is one story and is made of bricks. We walk in through the automatic doors and into the building. We go over to the worker behind the desk, and we check in after they finish pulling up our records.

      "It is going to take a few minutes so please have a seat and relax, we'll call you when the files are ready." I nod and we head over to the waiting room. As the clock ticks by I feel the anticipation in me rising. I waited so long for this yet these last few minutes feel like the longest.

      "Mr. and Mrs. Davis, we are ready!" We hear one of the adoption center employees say cheerfully. In an instant I am up and through the door as my family follows suit. This is the moment I have been waiting for, it is finally here!

      The employee leads us to a private room with a desk. We all sit down as the employee sets the files down on the desk.

      "Here are the candidates that you can choose from. Once you've made up your mind, we will start the process in which you will meet." We thank her, and we look at the pile of files on desk.

Author's Notes:

Evan is dealing with trauma and at the same time having to adjust to this new world. Meanwhile the Davis's have just made it to the adoption center, I wonder whose file they'll find.
