Chapter 1- Homecoming
Leslie's writing
Its early in the morning i look around my room making sure i got everything packed once i do i look to the door waiting for Mrs.Carly to come get me. Today i go home. I am finally adopted it has been 3 years since my parents died in a fire.. that has a lot of explanation behind it but that's for another time. Now i get to meet my parents. Mrs.Carly walks with me hand in hand to the tea room and i see an American family standing there with a son and a daughter i look around the room wondering why they want me. I look at the man who is very pasty white with dull grey eyes holding who i assume is his daughter he smiles "Hey Trevor" i look at him and smile "Hello sir" the boys nose wrinkles and the little girl looks at her dad "Daddy why does Trevor sound funny?" i frown and look at them the man pokes her nose "Now sweetie that's not nice Trevor is your brother and he sound different because hes from England, where we are visiting" he then looks at me and smiles. I think to myself oh what the ultimate souvenir that's why they are adopting me I'm just a souvenir to them. The lady then looks at me "no need to be shy Trevor come give us a hug" i look up to Mrs.Carly who lets go of my hand and i slowly walk over and give the lady a hug "Hey sweet pea i have been looking forward to meeting you!! My name is Violet, but you can call me mom or mommy, whichever you prefer. These are my other children Aaron and Ariel. They both are so excited to have a new brother" i look over at Aaron and smile and then at Ariel who is giggling i walk over to the man and hug him he sets down Ariel and hugs me tightly "Hey Champ my name is Ethan but call me dad or pops either one in fine with me." i smile at him and look to Ariel she is a beautiful little girl i smile "and who might you be dear?" she looks at me and giggles "i am this many" she says putting up 3 fingers. i smile and look at Aaron "How old are you mate" he looks at me and gives me a fake smile "I'm 10" i smile "well it is a pleasure meeting you all." my new parents smile at us "Well lets get going" Violet says. Walking out to the street and catching a cab feels funny, i have never done this before. When i live with my mum and dad we always used or family car and i didn't have any sibling's.. but that didn't matter i had plenty to play with. Once we get to the airport i give my new mum and dad a confused look. "why are we at the Airport?" Aaron looks at me "Stupid because we are going on a airplane back home" Violet quickly turns around "apologize to your brother right now!" Aaron give mum a dirty look and mumbles hes not my brother. i look at him around frown mom turns around "right now Aaron" he looks at me with defeat "IMO sorry Trevor" i look at Aaron then mum "its no problem mate" he rolls his eyes at me then smiles at mum. I look over at Ariel who is passed out asleep. When the car comes to a stop Ethan gets Ariel out and Carry's her, mum grabs both mine and Aaron's hand as we walk into the airport.
Boarding the flight is pretty scary i had never been on a airplane before, and now i am leaving the only life i ever knew hopefully things are different in America and these dreams go away. When we are buckled in the pilot takes off i close my eyes tightly afraid then peek them back open to see everyone else acting normal. Aaron looks at me "why are you being such a spazz? its just a airplane?" i look at him " i am not a spazz i was afraid mate." he rolls his eyes and looks at mum "Mom may i please watch a movie?" mum smiles "sure why dont you and Trevor both watch one we have two seats of headphones and Ariel is gonna take a nap." i smile at Aaron hoping this will help us get along. I dont understand what his problem is with me i haven't done anything wrong. Aaron looks at me then mum "fine but i am choosing the movie" mum looks at him and nods passing me the laptop to pass to him. When Aaron finally picks a movie we both stick on our headphones and watch the movie before i know it im out like a light. I wake up to a sweet women "would you like a blanket sweetheart? i look at the women and rub my eyes "That would be brilliant ma'am may i also have a glass of water please" the sweet women smiles at me "of course dear i will be right back " i smile a thank you and look over at Aaron who is into another movie i tap him lightly on the shoulder "Would you mind opening the shade on that window, mate i would like to see the sky." he rolls his eyes but opens the window. i look outside over him and notice it is already dark. I look at my new mum "How much longer do we have on this flight?" mum looks at her watch "i'd say about another hour and a half hun. But it will be soon i promise:. I smile at mum "thanks"
When the flight finally lands i try waking up but it is difficult i then feel myself being lifted i quickly look up and see its dad i smile and him and wrap my arms around his neck. It feels so nice to be apart of a family again. Once we are out of the airport i notice how warn it is and the stars in the sky. Dad shifts my weight on him and i holder tighter looking over at mom who is carrying Ariel and holding Aaron's hand. i look down at Aaron and smile he sticks his tongue out at me "Daddy Trevor's not sleeping" Aaron shouts i quickly shut my eyes and relax all my muscles pretending to be a sleep. mum looks over "Yes he is dear. what are you talking about?" Aaron looks up and me and shrieks "but-but-" dad quickly turns around "Aaron hush your brother and sister are sleeping!" Aaron takes a deep breath and sighs "fine dad" i cant help but smile. Then i feel dad shifting me into a seat in a car. i let my head drop to the right and pretend to just wake up when i hear the doors closing. I rub my eyes and look around the car "mum dad when did we get off the plane?" mum looks back and smiles "just about 30 minutes ago champ, You boys hungry?" she says looking between us. i look over at Ariel who is sucking her thumb and twisting and turning. Aaron look up from his shoes "Yes mom" i look at mom and dad "yes ma'am" mum smiles back lets go get something easy because its late and we have a lot of things to do tomorrow. I smile at mum. Maybe this will be a fun home.
