Adopted By Who?

Chapter two

August 2nd 2015

I was rejected, again. But I don't care. It's there loss right? I don't know, I'm probably just a waste of space anyways. I stopped caring a long time ago. You don't get hurt if you don't care.

I have to go because someone is coming to visit again. I'll write again soon, still here in the foster home and I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.

I slipped my journal into its hiding place and went to go downstairs. I was wearing a loose long sleeved white shirt with a batman sign on it. So what if I wear batman merch two days in a row? I certainly don't care. And if anyone else does then that's there problem that they can deal with somewhere else.

I was wearing grey leggings and converse. One of my only two pairs of shoes, but that's all I need.

I went downstairs and made sure I stood somewhere other than where Felicity was. I just don't feel like dealing with her today. I'm already going to get rejected two days in a row and I don't need her here to rub it in, it's not like she's getting adopted either. But she's been here a much shorter time that me.

There was a knock on the door. I know the drill. Stand here and answer questions and then go back to my room where I can be lonely by myself and without other people there to make myself feel like I don't fit in more.

The door opened and a guy looking about 20 walked in, followed by another, and another, and another, and another. Oh gosh I pity the person that gets adopted by these people. They looked nice but they can't seriously be adopting someone! Can they?

The blonde one came up to me.

"Hello! I'm Niall. What's your name?" He said in an Irish accent. That's different. I wonder if they are all Irish. At least he's more creative than the rejectors of yesterday.

"I'm Addison. Is it okay if I ask you something?" I know I'm not supposed to ask questions but I just really need to ask.

"Go ahead." He said smiling. He seems sweet. But he probably will just ignore me and send me back if him and his colleagues ever chose me.

"Are five 20 year old guys actually going to attempt to take care of a teenage girl? Is this some kind of joke?" I didn't mean to sound rude but it's true. I don't know them but they don't look mature.

The one with the repunzel hair just tasered the one with a short brown quiff with his fingers and quiff attacked repunzel. This can not end well.

Godly locks just laughed. "We are more mature that we look. And it's not a joke. How old are you?"

"I'm 13." He smiled at me. He's very smiley.

"I'll see you later Addison." He walked over to a darker haired one who had his hair in a quiff too. But it was a bit different and had more hair gel. Yep that's his name, Hair gel.

"Hello!" I jumped at the voice that came out of nowhere to see another guy. He sounded like he was from England but I couldn't make out what area. This one had his hair spiked and buzzed on the sides. "Didn't mean to scare you love. How are you?"

Finally someone somewhat original!

"I'm doing okay."

"That's good. I'm Liam by the way. And you are?"

"I'm Addison."

"Well, Addison pleased to meet you! But I have to get back to the boys. How old are you?"

"I'm 13."

"Okay. Bye Addison!"

"Bye Liam." Finally a mature one.

"Go back up to your rooms girls." Said Christine from behind me making me jump. People need to stop doing that I'm going to have a heart attack sooner or later!

I headed back upstairs and was joined by Jess in our room.

I laid down on my bed staring at the ceiling trying to find shapes in the marks. But before long was out like a light.

*******

"Should we wake her?"

"She so cute when she's sleeping!"

"I don't want to do it you do it Liam."

"For the love of carrots she's my daughter I'll go wake her up."

I felt a hand on my arm as my eyes fluttered open.

"Hey girlie. It's time to wake up so you can pack your things."

It took me a minute before I could figure out what he was saying. Pack my things?

"Huh?" I said while stretching and yawning earning a few awes from the boys.

"I'm adopting you. They are all going to help." He said smiling.

"No you can't." I said fully awake now. Jessica was sleeping in her bed still.

"Can't what?" Quiff asked.

"You can't adopt me."

He tilted his head in confusion. "Why not?"

"Because you'll just decide you don't want me and send me back just like everyone else does."

"I promise I won't. Your my daughter now and that's not going to change."

"That's what they all say and they don't care and they forget about me and make me feel like nothing, and garbage, and that's just what you're going to do because you are just like them and I can't handle anymore broken hearts okay?"

"It's okay I got you. And I will never let you go. I'm not them and if anyone tries to take you way from me I won't let them because you're my baby girl and nobody else's and nobody else can change that." I looked into his blue eyes. I could see he was being honest but I've seen that look before

I'm just not ready to be let down again.

I have written so much tonight I REALLY need get some sleep!! I will update one of my books tomorrow. Luv y'all! I hope you like the book so far!
