Childhood Best-Friends

Chapter two

"Dawn can you show Winter where her room is" Ben asked making the little girl in my arms nod, I placed Dawn on the ground. Dawn turned towards my things that were near the door and pointed to them then to the stairs "bring them, your room across from mine" she said, I nodded and grabbed my stuff following her up the stairs, she explained where room is which. The first room on the left is Scottie's, the first room on the right (across from Scottie's) is Parkers, Dawn's room is the second to the right while mine is the second room to the left, we headed to my room and I knew that Ben had helped Debra with the room because it was something that I would do if I created my own room. The walls were painted a nice light red but it was kind-of rich, there was a window straight ahead with a window seat, on the left side of the room next to the window seat was a bookshelf with some of the good books that I like, like mortal instruments, vampire academy and so much more, on the other side of the room was a bed with a side-table, to the left closer to the door was a desk with some new exercise books (probley for school in 2 days), some marker, pen, pencils, coloured pencils and a black backpack with white writings on it, in the centre of the room was a nice colour patterned rug with some different coloured beanbags, Ben knows that I have my own laptop so he didn't get that for me. Apparently working as a case worker and a lawyer pays lots, on the right side of the room just before where the bed ends is a room probley leading to a bathroom, on the left wall is 3 sidling mirrors leading to a wardrobe, placing my suitcase and bag on my bed after Dawn left I started to unpack all of my clothes, I found my laptop at the bottom and put it on the desk, once I was done with my suitcase, I tucked in my wardrobe went to my bag. The first thing I pulled out was a smallish photo album with then title 'my loving families', I remember when Ben got this for me. I was heading to my first home and he handed it to me before we got out of the car, he got me to take a photo with the family and I put it in the album and when I left the family I wrote down how long I lasted there, this book must have over 50 photo's in it. I placed it next to my laptop then continued unpacking everything else, it was filled with things that my 'families' have given me for becoming a part of their family. When I was finally finished unpacking I got my laptop and sat down on one of the beanbags and started playing games until there was a knock on the door that I had closed before I started unpacking

"It's open" I called, the door opened and Scottie stood there

"Mum sent me up to say that dinner's ready" he said

"Alright" I said standing up, I placed my laptop on my desk grabbing the photo album and heading down with Scottie.

"Hey dad" Scottie greeted our dad with

"Hey dad remember this" I said walking up to him, he took it in his hands smiling

"How many photos have you got in here" he asked

"Must be over 100 by now" I answered

"What is it" Parker asked

"it's a photo album, dad got it for me when I went to my first foster home to place photos in, in the end I ended up using it to place one photo from each home and how long I lasted in there" I replied

"What's the shortest time" Scottie asked

"Uh I believe that would be 3 and a half hours" I said

"And the longest" he asked

"That would be 2 months" I answered

"alright come, sit and eat" mum said, we all sat down around the dinner table as Debra dished the food on all of our plates, I was sitting on the left of Dawn the Parker, Mum was sitting in front of Parker at the end while Dad was in front of Dawn in the middle and Scottie was in front of me at the other end, he kept staring at me when I was eating and I know this because I could feel his eyes on me and it was kind of creepy but some part of me didn't mind it. When dinner was done we all watched a movie and because it was a movie to get Dawn to go to bed, she got to pick and she choose spy kids 4. I really hope they make a 5 but the woman who played Carmen is all grown up now, as I was seated in the middle of the couch, Dawn was cuddled up to my side, Parker was laying on my left, his legs were thrown over the edge of the couch with his head in my lap facing the T.V, Scottie was on the other side of Dawn just sitting there with his hands behind his head and his feet on the coffee table, Mum and Dad were sitting on the couch to the left of us cuddled together.
