Aqua's P.O.V

An hour passed by and we heard a knock at the door. Mrs. Grace quickly went over to open it. An old couple walked in. A lady who appeared to be in her mid 30s and a man who seemed to be in his late 40s. He had nice plain brown hair while his wife had slightly curly red hair. Her eyes were a nice honey brown shade and her husband's a nice dark green shade. She kindly smiled at us and her husband only focused on his wife.

Mrs. Grace walked over to us and the elderly couple did as well. From what I could see, they were looking at Fiona. I stayed on my position in the couch and I simply curled into JJ's chest. JJ draped an arm over my waist and he held me close to him.

Soon, Fiona also found a home. Fiona came over to me and hugged me, hugging JJ along in the process. We said our goodbyes and the couple left with Fiona.

Mrs. Grace smiled at his softly, "There's still one family left," she said "Who knows, you may be going home with them". I rolled my eyes and just held onto JJ "Nah, I rather stay here. We'll just be a family, you, JJ, and me. Just us". JJ stroked his fingers through my hair "That sounds nice". Mrs. Grace smiled "Alright, but we still have a family coming, so you know, just stay positive".

Hours passed by in a flash, and soon it was 7. I sighed and yawned "Let's just call it a day," I said "They're not showing up". Mrs. Grace stood up and stretched "You're right, let's jus-". She was cut mid-sentence by the doorbell. Mrs. Grace then giggled "Well speak of the devil". Mrs. Grace then walked over to the door while I just curled deeper into JJ's chest. I heard Mrs. Grace open the door and she gasped. I heard her muttering many things until I heard the door close shut. I yawned and just ignored it, I was tired. I closed my eyes and I tried to get some sleep when I heard my name being called.

I opened my eyes to see Mrs. Grace in front of me, looking as if she was about to blow up. I sat up "What's wrong?" I asked, rubbing my eyes to recover my sight. Once my eyes adjusted, I could see the room perfectly.

There, right next to Mrs. Grace was the man who's voice sung out lyrics that saved me. Andy Biersack.

My eyes widened and I quickly sat up straight, staring in shock at the man before me. He chuckled "Ania here told me you were a fan? It's a pleasure to meet you," his deep voice rung through my ears. He held out his hand to me and I shakily reached out to shake it, thoughts still swirling through my head. I gently shook his hand and he smiled wide at me "Your name?".

I blushed "A-Aqua". He smiled wider "Well, Aqua, what'd you say we talk for a bit?". Dumbfounded, I nod, not really paying attention as to what he said, but to his soothing voice itself. JJ sat up straight then stood up. He offered me his hand and I gladly took it, letting him help me up. JJ smiled at me "I'll leave you two to talk, I'll stay with Mrs. Grace in the mean while".

Soon, JJ and Mrs. Grace left the room and I was left alone with Andy. I wanted to hug him, but I knew that'd be awkward. I didn't really know what to say either, I was freaking out. Andy's deep chuckle made me go snap out of my trance. He stared down at me with his bright blue orbs with a playful smirk. "So Aqua," he started "Tell me a bit about yourself" he said, taking a seat in the couch where JJ and I had been seated in.

With hesitation, I sat in the couch as well, a bit far from him so he'd have his space. I gulped "My name is Aqua, Aqua Skye. I'm 16, turning 17 in December 1st." I said. Andy nodded and smiled, "Interests?". I breathed in "Reading, it's a passion. It calms me. Playing video games, something I've enjoyed a lot since I was a kid. Listening to music, it's something I'm constantly doing". Andy smiled, "Dislikes?" he asked. I gulped and looked down "Arachnophobia. I'm terrified of alcohol, and intoxicated people. School, especially the bullies".
