practice went really well today.
Besides not making a kip, everything else was almost perfect.
after practice I grabbed my bag, stuffed my grips in it and headed out to meet Hayley.
"you ready?" She asked, grabbing my bag and throwing it into he trunk.
I replied "yep." with a genuine smile upon my face.
the minute I entered the car, Hayley's mom began conversation and said "hey girls! How was practice?"
I quickly replied "good!" as I took a bite out of my bar I had packed as a snack.
"So, Zoey, what have you been doing lately?" asked Hayley's mom again, beginning to drive to their house.
"I-I've just been at the foster house a lot. there's not much go do there besides sit. and read." I said back, a forced smile fixed upon my face.
I hated talking about it.
She sighed, replying to me "I'm sorry about all of this, Zo. I know it's really, really hard." as I finished up my snack.
I just didn't say anything back until we reached their home.
"thank you for letting me stay over." I told her, walking inside as I was soon greeted by Winnie and Annie.
"Hey!!" Screamed Annie, who I have a huge hug. she had always been like the big sister I never had.
"so, what are we doing tonight?" I asked, genuinely excited to spend the night with my favorite people on the earth.
"well, we can Vlog, watch a movie, and do some gymnastics!" replied Annie, who was currently getting out some cups to make hot chocolate, which was a tradition we had for sleepovers since forever.
While Annie finished that, me and Hay were in the other room, playing with her new gymnastics equipment.
"it's done!!" Yelled Annie, and we all went running in.
I quickly grabbed my cup, which had my name on it since I was ALWAYS over there, and took a sip.
yum.
Annie always made the best hot chocolate.
We were all sitting at the counter when Annie interjected "why don't we go watch a movie now, mom even rented Frozen!"
and of course, me and Hayley screamed in excitement as we headed to the Movie room.
sometime seemed.. missing.
"Guys, we need popcorn!!" I yelled, also replying "I can go make it, if you guys can get stuff set up down here!"
They both replied together "sure!" and I headed down to the kitchen.
but when I heard their parents talking, I froze in my spot.
"She's going through such a hard time right now, Billy. wouldn't it be great if we could, you know, maybe adopt her? the girls love her, and I feel like she needs us. She could also help get their minds off of.. Well.. everything."
did I just hear them correctly?
I couldn't breathe.
I quickly ran through the hallway, hoping they didn't see me into the kitchen and, as quickly as I could, grabbed the super-butter popcorn and popped it into the mircowave.
but I couldn't get what I heard out of my head.
they want ME?
but before I could go too in depth, the mircowave went off, so I took it out, poured it into a bowl and headed back downstairs.
"you're back!" screamed Hay, patting the spot next to her on the couch, which I soon filled.
this is going to be one crazy night.
