Mark POV

"Ok Mr Fischbach they are ready and waiting to meet you, you may go in." The women behind the desk said happily.
I was really excited. I had been alone for such a long time and was very lonely. I didn't want to go on anymore dates for a while but I wanted to have something to look after. I didn't want a potted plant because they aren't that great . I didn't want a dog or cat because they can't talk. I need someone to care of but they can care of me too. So I deiced to adopt a kid, mostly a little boy so we can do father and son things like my dad did with me.  "Thank you." I said walking off down the hall towards my new son or daughter.

Meanwhile

Tommy POV

"I bet they are rich."
"I bet they are famous."
"I bet the dad has the most amazing smile."
"I bet the mum is great huger."
All the girls were whispering to one another.
"Oh,all of you shut up!" I whisper shouted at them, I am the only boy. "It's not like they are going to adopt any of us." I said bitterly crossing his arms in the corner of the room.
"Shut up Tommy." Bethany  said coming out the crowd. "You're only saying that because every family that adopts you brings you back."
"Yeah" all the other girls said in unison, I hated them so much.
"Bethany you can say all you like but they won't adopt you."
"Why not?!?" She yelled her face was as red as a stop sign.
"Because they don't want to have an ugly little girl as a daughter!" I said in a sassy tone.A silence fell.
Sudden foot steps break the silence. At once a tall man came around the corner.
"Hey kids!" Said the Jolly man waving wildly at us. All the girls giggled and went up and introduced them selfs.
'He looks like a very nice person but what are the chances of him adopting me?' I thought to myself it made me feel very sad.

Mark POV

As I entered the room full of kids I was very nervous so I said the easiest thing I could "Hey kids!" And plastered on a smile,I didn't want to show I was nervous. The room was mostly filled with girls at first I thought there were no boys,which broke my heart a little, but then I saw a 9 year old ish boy standing in the corner looking at me. I wanted to go over and say hi but I was surrounded by girls of all ages, 10,11,12,13,ect. After five ten minutes the women came along and got them to go out the room and line up so I would get to talk to them one by one. After several girls one girl came in looking so sweet.
"Hello." She said shyly.
"Hi, what's your name?"
"Bethany,sir." She said politely but then all of a sudden she blurted out. "So where is the mother?" She said looking around.
"Um..Bethany there is no mother it's just me." I said rubbing the back of my neck.
"What? No mum? That's it nope I am not leaving here with one parent I won't the whole deal!Goodbye sir!" She yelled storming out the room. I put my head in my hands 'What was I thinking?' I thought to myself. Suddenly my thought were interrupted by someone taping me on the shoulder. I look up and see it's the boy from before.
"Excuse me sir but are you ok?" He asked which put a smile on my face finally someone I have been waiting for.

Tommy POV

I had been the last person in the line because I didn't feel ready to go back into a new family and I wanted to delay as long as possible. Bethany had just gone in and after a few minutes I heard shouting 'I guess she doesn't like him and his wife.' I thought to myself. A few seconds later she stomped out and let out a growl in hatred. Before I went in I took a deep breath and stepped in the room. But what I saw shocked me, the man had his head in his hands. 'I guess Bethany had just given you a hard time' I thought feeling a bit sorry for the man. So I went up to him a tapped him on the shoulder and asked if he was alright.
He looked up to with a smile and said,"Oh hello yes I am alright thank you. Are you here for me to meet or are you just a kind soul?" He asked playfully. He made me laugh, I liked him he was different to the others. "So what's your name?" He said miming for me to sit down.
"Oh sorry, I am Tommy." I said shyly.
"Oh no need to say sorry Tommy. I am Mark." His face was just a massive smile. "How old are you Tommy?"
"I am 11, sir Mark."
"No need for the sir Tommy, just call me Mark it's ok." He had a welcoming and caring tone in his voice, which made me feel very safe.
"Ok."
"What do you like to do in your free time?"
"Oh I like to watch tv and read books and and and play video games if I ever get a chance. I want to be a professional gamer when I am older." As I said this his light up.
"That's cool! I am a gamer my self millions of people know who I am." When he told me that I got really excited.
"Really!?!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah. Do you like doing father and son activities like fishing, going camping, mini golf and going theme parks?"
"Oh..um..I have only done one of them activities it was camping but I had to do it every night. They made me sleep in the back garden even in winter." I said then when I realized what I said I put my hands over my mouth.
"Who made you do that?" He asked calmly but I could see the hatred rising in his eyes.
"It's ok..it's been handled with." I said looking at the floor with tears in my eyes.
"Hey kid." He said which made me look up. "I know we have just met but I can see you need a hug. Do you want one?" I was shocked to hear that he wanted to give me a hug. I hadn't had a hug  in four years. But I just nodded and walked over to him. He opened his arms and I sat on his lap and started to cry on his shoulder as he held me tightly. It felt nice and I felt safe, safer than I have ever felt. After a few minutes I stopped hugging and let him go whipping my tears.
