Adopted by R5 - My story

Chapter 3- So Lucky

I closed my eyes. It was so quiet.
I laid on the bed for a bit, just thinking. I still couldn't believe I got adopted, and by a band I really liked!
I was so lucky, they were caring and really kind and I was sure I could enjoy staying with them. I had a big room and a big house, everything was perfect.
But it didn't feel whole. There was something more I needed, but I couldn't figure out what it was.
And then I realised: I needed him. I couldn't get over losing him, it still affected me since 3 years.
Why was it difficult to forget someone?
A wave of sadness came over me, but I forced myself not to cry and went to the bathroom to get ready for dinner.
I really looked a mess.
I got ready then headed downstairs. The boys were all there and apparently they invited Ell over for dinner. He waved at me as if we had known each other for years and it made me feel a lot more confortable.
"Oh hi Hailie, dinner is not ready yet but you can join us if you want. We're watching Pirates of the Carribean." Said Riker. I knew it was his favourite movie and it was mine too so I happily joined him and Ross on the couch.
After a few minutes Rydel popped her head in the doorframe and told us dinner was ready.
It was a really nice meal, we laughed a lot and it helped me getting rid of my previous sadness.
I suddenly felt really tired and I saw it was past 11pm so I just told everyone I went to sleep and headed to my room.
I changed into my pj and went in bed. It was really confortable, and after 3 years spent sleeping on those terrible beds at the orphanage, I could finally relax. I fell asleep almost instantly and, for the first time in so long, with a smile.

After a dreamless sleep, I woke up. It was early, 7:35, but I couldn't sleep anymore so I sit on my bed wondering what to do. I was too sleepy to get ready, so I took my phone from the nightstand and went on tumblr. I scrolled through my dashboard not really paying attention to the posts and after a while I got bored. By now, it was 8am, and I went downstairs to see if anyone else was up too.
I found Riker sitting on the couch with his laptop. He was looking a bit nerdy with his glasses, and the pj he still had on was making him kinda cute.
"Good morning" I said quietly sitting next to him.
"Morning" he responded smiling and then added "Rocky and Ell are bringing home some In'n'Out for breakfast soon".
"Cool." Suddenly a question came to my mind .
"Riker, who is my legal tutor, just wondering?" I asked.
"I am." He looked a bit nervous, maybe he didn't know how I would react.
"Awesome. So, I have to call you Dad or stuff like that?"
"Only if you feel like it. It doesn't really matter to be honest" he raised his shoulders. I felt some kind of relief.
In that moment, Rocky and Ell came into the living room with two bags with our breakfast.
My day started so well.
