My Hero (A Tom Hiddleston Fan Fiction)

Chapter 7

Emma Paige's pov

The man who is going to adopt Mad set up a meeting for me and his friend to... well meet.

I walk into a room and see a tall man looking down on his phone. I close the door and he looks up and smiles at me.

"Hello, I'm Benedict," he tells me.

"H-H-Hi," I stutter out.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not too sure how these really go," he says.

"I don't really know either."

"I'm sorry I don't think I got your name."

"Oh right, sorry. I'm Emma Paige."

"That's very pretty."

I just awkwardly laugh... I don't know how to react to compliments. The rest of the conservation went like that. Then he said: "Tell me about yourself."

No one had ever told asked me about myself or they already thought they knew everything about me. So I decided to start from the beginning. "Well I was born October 30th, a few days after my best friend, who I've known since I was born. I had started dancing when I was 3 years old with her which is where we met our two other best friends, Conner and John. My parents dropped me off here when I was 4, along with Maddie Grace because our parents were also friends and decided to leave together, since they kept getting in trouble with the law. I changed my name from Williams to Hudson when was 8 so I wouldn't have anything to do with my parents. I tend to get into a lot of trouble because Mad drags me into all of her stupid ideas." I just kept going on and on about everything that has ever happened in my life. Benedict just sat there taking in every word I said like it was the most interesting thing he had ever heard.

"Well, sounds like you've had quite a life already," Benedict said once I finished talking to him.

"Is that a bad thing?" 

"Not at all."

Benedict's pov

After listening to this little girl I decided then and there that I wanted her. She just seems like a hurt little girl, who's been through so much already. She needs someone in this world besides her three friends. 

I looked at her very seriously and said, "Emma Paige, I know we just met and are perfect strangers, but would you like to be adopted by me?"

She looked down at her lap for a while as I sat there awkwardly wondering what to do. Emma Paige peered up and I saw tears in her eyes and the a smile stretched across her face. "Are you serious?" she asked.

"Of course I am!"

"YES! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!"

"No problem, Em. I'll need to call the adoption place and get your other information from your other name and we should be able to go." 

Emma Paige's pov

I'm finally going to have a real family. This is going to be the real deal, it's not just going to be just me anymore. I run up to my room to start packing my stuff. 

"Woah, someone's in a hurry!" Maddie Grace says looking up from her phone.

"Um... that guy, Benedict, is adopting me," I replied, afraid how she was going to react.

"Damn. I've known Tom weeks and I'm still not adopted. You meet someone in an hour and you're already packing. You work fast, my friend."

"By the way, when are you leaving?"

"Today. I wanted to make sure that you were happy with Ben before I left."

"You're such a loser." 

"Shut up! You love me!"

"In your dreams, you mad bitch!"
