y/n pov: mary just asked me to go sit on her bed so she could do my hair and talk to me about something. i know i shouldn't be nervous, but there's still that part of me that gets scared. it's just trauma i guess. i don't say anything though. i just say okay in my well acted happy voice. i get up and walk over to her room. she shuts the door and i sense panic coming. mary notices this. i think she knows im anxious. "honey, you're not in trouble okay?" she reassures me and i nod. she takes my hand and sits me on the bed. she starts brushing my hair and starts speaking. "so, y/n, there is something i need to talk to you about, okay? but you're not in trouble i promise." "okay." i reply. she hesitates, trying to think of the right words to say and then speaks again. "so we can adopt you as soon as tomorrow, but there's a catch." my smile fades. oh no. they're going to hurt me first. "please don't hurt me. i'll be a good girl i promise." i whimper. mary stops brushing and pulls me into a hug. i breathe in her lavender scent and take a deep breath. "baby we would never do that." "no?" "no." "well then what's the catch?" "well honey," she continues with my hair, "we have to go to court tomorrow, and you have to testify." "testify?" "you would have to face ms. whitetaker in court and tell the judge the things she did to you. if not they won't let us adopt you and you'll have to go to a new orphanage. or they might let ms. whitetaker out and take you back to her." i pause and think this through. "i'll do it." "you sure baby?" "yes. i'll do anything for you guys. and i don't ever want to go back there again. you guys really made me feel like i have a place on this earth. you were there for me at my lowest. you opened your arms and your home to me. i love you guys." i realized i was crying while saying this and mary was tearing up. she finished doing my hair and then pulled me into her warm embrace. she held me and whispered to me, "i love you too baby. always and forever." i rubbed her arm and we stayed like that for a little while.
