The Fault in Our Scars (Phan AU)

Chapter 3

I lay my head against a car window and stare out at the dark obis that surrounds the car.
I was in that hospital for more time then they expected to have me because they had to call poison control to check on me but now we are headed to London to meet the people I will be living with for the next two years to finish out high school.
I sit in the passenger seat but I feel like I'm not even there I think about life.
'What is the point of me living if I have absolutely no purpose I am nothing I'm not meant to be here.'
I begin to feel angry with myself.

-Dan you are thinking too much just stop and think about it you do have a purpose- My brother used to tell me.

I would always disagree with him but I wish I would've shown him how much I actually cared for him rather then shutting him out of everything.
I slowly begin to shut my eyes after a long day in the car
When I wake up we are just pulling into a driveway that twists and turns.
The car stops in front of a huge house which was almost the size of a mansion.
'These people must have a lot of money to even be able to afford this house' I think to myself.
Then a cheery short woman steps out of the door and smiles at me.
"Hello you must be Daniel, we have heard so much about you."
I give her nothing no emotion no feeling just cold "Yes I am Dan and you are?"
"Oh I'm Jenny welcome to your new home"
I give a cold smile "nice house"
She cheers up and giggles with excitement "wait till you see your room you are going to love it"
'Wow this woman is sure a charmer and she is so sweet maybe I will actually like my new mum' I think to myself 'I might actually be happy here'
I begin to follow the bubbly woman inside of the house as the man who brought me here hands me my suitcase.
"Oh dear is that all of you luggage?"
"Yeah"
She looks horrified "Oh my we must go shopping"
I smile 'man this woman is actually going to spend money on me'
The woman leads me inside the door and I stare in awe as I look at the enormous interior of the house.
I see on the left is the living room which has leather furniture and a laced rug beneath a glass coffee table. To the right is a dining room with just a table, chairs, and a door leading to the kitchen. Then straight ahead is the stairs.
She places her hand on my shoulder and guides me up the stairs and to the left down a long hallway of doors until she opened one.
"This is your room"
I walk inside and it is huge compared to my pocket sized room in my old house. It had a walk in closet and its own bathroom and a TV already set up and a bed with no sheets on it.
"It's huge" I say in awe.
"I knew you would like it. Now let's get you some clothes and stuff shall we let's go to the mall"
I smile slightly "okay but you really don't have to spend money on me"
She laughs "Of course I do with that little suit case you need more plus we can also get stuff for your bedroom in general I left it blank so you can do whatever you want to it."
She leads me down the hallway and back down the stairs and outside. She opens a door to a Porsche and she hops in.
I walk over the driveway into the passenger side door and with that we were off.

We got back to the house at 10 at night and I have bags of clothes strung on my arms mostly from Hot Topic and she kicks the front door open because her hands are also full.
We stumble up the stairs and into my room and she flicks on a light basically throwing the heavy bags onto the floor. She pushes her blonde hair off of her shoulders and she looks at me with her blue eyes.
"So are you at least a little bit happy?"
I look at her and I swallow a lump in my throat.
"Yes" I manage to choke out.
She pulls my sheet and comforter set out of the bag and begins to string it over my queen sized bed and I walk over and help her even though I don't know the first thing on how to make a bed.

When the fully black bedding is on the bed she dumps out my seven bags full of posters onto the floor.
"We can hang these up tomorrow you need to get some rest"
I smile. "Hey Jenny?"
"Yeah?"
"Thank you" was all I could find to say to her.
"Your welcome"
She begins to leave but I stop her.
"Oh one more thing. Why did you adopt me."
She looks surprised to hear that question but answers nonchalantly "Because you seemed like a great kid but you need a loving home and that is what I am trying to provide for you."
I smile "do you have a husband"
Her face falls. "No I am a widow my husband and four year old daughter died in a car crash a few years ago."
I feel a pain in my heart "I am so sorry Jenny."
Her face lights up again to change the topic "how about tomorrow I make Ramen Noodles do you like those"
I laugh "Yeah I basically lived off those as a kid."
She smiles and starts to walk out of the room "great sounds perfect"
She closes the door behind her and I crawl into my bed and turn out the lights.
