Brashton adopted me?!

Chapter 1; My story

Hi, I'm Carter. So my story is kinda short but has a lot of meaning and sadness. So when I was 6, my parents and I got in a horrific car accident. We were on way home after celebrating my parents anniversary when, out of nowhere, a drunk driver smashed into our car. We were all upfront and when it happened, both my parents covered me to protect me. My mom died on impact. My dad was in the hospital for 3 days till he died. I ended up going to an adoption center in Sydney, Australia. It's been almost 10 years since then. Ever since I've been lost. I haven't been the happy little kid I was. I have few friends here, not that I want any. Everyone's mostly nice but I'm mostly in my room, unless it's time to eat. I had a best friend in here till she got adopted about a year ago. Now I just sit in my room, drawing. So that's my life. I just hope it gets better..

"Carter!!" I groan as I hear Ms. Carlos, the orphanage mom, call for me to get up. I don't move and try to go back to sleep. Just as I drift back to sleep, someone gently shaking my shoulder. I open my eyes to see Olive, a little 1 year old girl that lives here, smiling and giggling. I smile and decide to get up. I sit up and grab the sweatpants by my bed. I put them on and grab Olive. "Hey baby girl." I stand up and walk down stairs for breakfast. I sit down and set Olive on my lap. Ms. Carlos brings me a bowl of oatmeal. "I'll be back with a bowl for Olive." She says but I stop her before she goes, "No, I'll share. It's not a problem." She smiles at me and I smile back. She walks away and I turn to Olive and smile. I grab my spoon and put a little on the tip of the spoon and feed it to Olive. "Here comes the planee!" I make plane noises and she happily opens her mouth and eats the oatmeal. I do this until she signals that she's full by rubbing her tummy. I smile and she giggles and points to the toys in the corner of the room. I get up and go over to the toys and set her down on the ground. I play with her for a few minutes until another little kid comes over and I walk over to clean my dishes. I walk over to the sink and start cleaning. After about 10 minutes, I'm done and I dry my hands. Ms. Carlos walks up to be and hands me an apple and a bottle of orange juice. "I know you didn't eat this morning, eat." I look at her and take the food. I leave the kitchen and go back up to my room. I grab my sketch book and pencil and go over to the window. I sit on the ground in front of the window and I start drawing. In the middle of my sketch, I remember I have the apple and I start to eat it again. I finish it and stand up to throw it away. After I throw it away, I lay on my bed and draw again. Just like I do everyday.

"Carter. Carter, wake up." I open my eyes and see Jordin, a boy that is in my age group. I sit up and look outside. It looks brighter than before. I rub my eyes and stretch. I look up at Jordin and punch his arm. "Ouch! What was that for?" I look at him and cross my arms, "You woke me up. Why?" He rolls his eyes and looks at me. "Someone's here to adopt someone. Get dressed and come down." I groan and go over to my pile of clothes I have. I put on a pair of leggings and a loose t-shirt that says "Before you say anything, prepare for some sarcastic responses" I walk down stair and go and stand by Jordin. The people who are adopting are standing by Ms. Carlos. "Okay, kids! This is Ashton and Bryana, they're here to adopt one of you." Ms. Carlos shouts. I notice a few kids my age whispering and pointing to the couple. I look back at the couple and they glance at everyone. The girl, Bryana, looks at me and we make eye contact. I smile shyly and send a small little wave. She smiles and lets out a small, silent laugh and waves back. They start talking to the little kids at the beginning of the lines. As they go down the line, the little kids get fidgety. Suddenly, I hear little footsteps running towards me. I look up and see Olive running over with a smile. I widen my eyes and glance up at Ashton and Bryana who are only a few people away from me. Olive gets to me and lifts her arms. I lift her up, and put her on my hip. I start to tell her that she needs to go back over to her group but in the middle of my sentence, someone clears their throat. I look over to see Ashton and Bryana right in front of me. They both give me a warm smile. "Hello love." He says in a deep, Australian accent. He looks at Olive and tickles her stomach. "Hello again cutie pie." She giggles and wiggles out of my arms and runs back to her group. I look back up at Bryana and she smiles wide. "You seem good with her." I blush a little and look down. "Yeah, I guess I am." Ashton laughs and looks at me. "So, what's your name and tell us about yourself." I look down and back up at them. "My name is Carter. I love music and art. My favorite color is blue and mint green and I love children. That's about it.." I smile at them and they smile back. "Well hi Carter, it was nice to meet you." Bryana said. They smile again and go to the next kid. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. About 10 minutes later, they're done interviewing everyone. They go to the front and talk for about 5 minutes. They go over to Ms. Carlos and tell her something. She smiles and looks over us until her eyes lands on..me? "Carter, come here." I hesitantly walk over to her. She bends over and tells me something I will never forget. "Go get ready, you're being adopted!"
