Adopted by Sophia Bush

Chapter 3

Sophia's apartment was amazing, it was a modern building but the rustic decor really gave the place a homely and inviting feel.

"Caitlyn would you like a drink?" called Sophia from the kitchen, a room I was yet to explore.

"do you have any tea?" I called back.

"I'll have a look" she called.

Sophia's living room was lovely, there was a HUGE black and white L shaped sofa with beautiful patterns on it. A few armchairs scattered around the room, but not in a messy fashion more of an artistic formation that accentuated the size of the room. 

As my eyes scanned the room they set on a beautiful cabinet with lots of picture frames on it. I slowly walked over in order to get a closer look and there were four very prominent pictures that really stood out, the first three contained three very cute dogs and the fourth contained a picture of Sophia with a very tall man with brown hair looking very happy.

"Caitlyn I don't have any tea, is fruit tea ok?"she said standing behind me, almost giving me a heart attack 

"fruit tea is fine, Sophia who is in the picture frames?"

"Well Caitlyn this is Patch (pointing to the picture of a dog with one eye) he is a rescue dog, this is Penny a rescue dog ( pointing to the picture of a dog that looked a little orange) and this is Griffin he is also a rescue dog ( pointing to a picture of a dog that looked like a gargoyle) and finally (pointing to the picture of her and a man) this is my boyfriend Jesse"her eyes sparkling at the mention of his name. 

As I looked around there were lots of photos of them that I hadn't noticed before. 

"Caitlyn your tea is ready I'll bring it through"

 I sat down on the sofa Sophia followed placing both of our teas on the coffee table. 

She turned to me and said "would you like me to tell you about myself, or would you like to tell me about yourself?"

 I replied "can you tell me about you first" I asked apprehensively, she noticed my anxiety and rubbed my shoulder

"It's ok, my name is Sophia Anna Bush I was born in pasadena in California. my birthday is on July the 8th and I am 33 years young" I chuckled at that she did also.

I turned to her "My name is Caitlyn Violet Eva Shelton and I was born in a little town outside of London called Harpenden my birthday is on the 27th of December 1999"

" Your a millennium baby then" Sophia cut in " yes I am even though the plastics say I'm not" I said with an angry tone.

" Who are the plastics?" She asked with a very confused look on her face

"They are the people that bully me"

 my eyes were welling up with tears but I was determined to fight them, Sophia was about to pull me in for a hug but I said " I'm fine"

"I call them the plastics because they are exactly like the girls from mean girls" 

"How long have they been bullying you for Caitlyn?" Sophia asked with a concerned tone in her voce her eyes speaking volumes. 

"5 years" tears began to spill from my eyes I wiped them with the back of my hand. 

"They bully me because they think I'm weird and they punch me and hurt me and call me names every single day of school I can't ever escape"

 Tears streaming from my eyes " If only they knew the truth"

 I said blubbering. Sophia asked in a soothing voice "the truth?" 

"when I was 7 I was diagnosed with ADHD, and when I was 14 I was diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome"

I gave in and collapsed in her warm embrace she smelled safe she began to stroke my hair " I don't want to go back, I don't" I screamed into her soft jumper 

"shhh its ok you will never have to see those bitches ever again" she said softly but with a slight anger in her tone. 

"How" I asked through my tears, " because I want to adopt you and make sure you never feel scared ever again" and she kissed my hair.
