Billies pov.
I sat at the table reading the paper sipping on coffee I felt a hand on my shoulder and my beautiful wife kiss me on the cheek.
"Sweetie the papers come in today for the fostering process and the limited information the meeting is today at 2." Adie said this a bit worried
I looked at her and set the paper down. I got my slippers on and walked into the backyard. I felt a bit hesitant. I was afraid to take in another kid. No matter what age. I went back in. I, I just wanted to help another lost soul.
"Billie, Billie come on get ready" I went upstairs to get ready. Damn what a long day.
Adie's pov.
Billie seemed distracted with this whole thing. I finished my eyeliner and kissed the boys good bye. It was around January and it was the first day back to school. I was excited to have another kid around the house. It was exciting. Billie told me he wanted the most unruly kid there but honestly it wasn't our choice.
Billies pov.
A couple of ours later we were done with errands and calling the guys I checked the mail. A couple bills and the foster care paper! I sat by Adie and handed it to her she opened it up.
"Mr. And Mrs. Armstrong we have recieved your papers, today at 2 pm. On stuart ave. Building 8086 you will be receiving your first foster child. Since this is your first time this will only last 3 months a check in and another 3 if you would like to decide on this, if you would like to switch kids out anytime feel free we love new expirences and new families! We have a couple candidates we think fit you and your lifestyle but we have chosen the one we think fits you best. When u get here we'd like to meet you and have the child meet you. Thank you for your patience." Adie read this aloud. I was really excited and couldn't wait. We went to check the boys out of school early and Joey drove home uninterested in going with us but Jakob came and we drove around and got lunch and headed to the foster care. We all went in Adie squeezed my hand excitedly. We checked in and sat down at a desk in front of an agent we signed some papers and we're asked a few questions they brought out the oldest kid there her bright blue eyes stared right into mine her green fading hair swooshed as she leaned down to tie her shoe. She nervously looked around as she did this taking longer than expected. She was shorts about Adie's height. She sat down across from us next to the agent. She brought up both feet onto the chair and wrapped her arms around her body she looked frail about to break and shivered a bit.
The agent spoke softly. "This is Bianca. She's 17 and just recently joined us she is the oldest here. She's a bit unruly and came to us from a broken home her mom had died of cancer and drugs her dad unknown. She was found living in an ambanded apartment. She's been known-" I cut off the agent.
"Hi Bianca my name is Billie Joe. I want you to tell me about yourself."
The agent burst in cutting off the girl.
"Billie Joe I wasn't finished she's known to steal, starve herself, harm herself, she's illterate, and has PTSD." I stood still. I sat looking at Adie.
"We would like to care for her." Her eyes lit up she stood her lip quivering.
"I'll get my bags" she whispered this softly and left. She was perfect.
Biancas pov.
I don't starve myself and I've never stolen a thing! I look starved cause I don't steal food or money for food and I refuse to eat when given because of mother she used to let me eat a spite and make me spit it back up and take my food away I was "fat" in her eyes. I grabbed my one bag and headed downstairs. The guy Billie looked at me as I only had a guitar shaped bag. It's where I kept my emergency money and and my emergency clothes and only true.. broken love. My guitar Green. The lady handed him a paper of my meal... MY MEAL REQUIREMENTS? I HAD NONE! What?
"Biance, my name is Adrienne but you can call me Adie and this is Jakob."
I looked at them and whispered.
"I don't have any food allergies or requirements." Adie looked at me funny. I signed some papers and was released with my first family. I sat in the back with Jakob. He ignored me and we all sat silently listening to the clash. I enjoy some punk. I nervously plugged my half broken earphones into my smashed ipod and fell asleep quickly.
Bianca's dream pov.
I was in the broken apartment. A banging on the door I hid under the sink afraid it was my mother again to tell me how I was a mistake. It was the police who barged in after the 3rd knock I fell out from under the sink and was patted down. I was shaking hard and crying.
About 5 minutes later I jolted awake. I had a night scare. I was breathing heavy and the new dad Billie looked back and asked if I was okay I said with a shaking voice yes resting my head once more. I saw the huge driveway as we pulled up. I saw other cars parked as we pulled out.
"I can take your guitar for you" Billie said andI pulled it close.
"Na-no it's fine I don't wa-want it touched thank you though" my voice a bit shakey. He looked at me sort of analyzing me. I shrugged it off following them inside. I saw their second son who I met named Joey. I was showed my room the first one on the right. I looked at the time on the digital clock on the night stand 4 pm. This day was dragging. All I learned to do was read a digital clock read temprature and a few words. Like Green and clash and my name the and day and mostly the months and days of the week and I know all the letters but nothing more. I sat on the bed for a minute setting the guitar down. Adie came in I flinched as she sat by me. "Sweetie it's okay we're not going to hurt you dinner is in about an hour and a half usually Billie is practicing and the boys are off, is there anything you'd like?" I shook my head and looked back down. "Thank you" I whispered and layed down as she left. I didn't wanna be here. It was all too much. I felt like I didn't deserve it. I crawled under the covers and hid, hid from the world and house I guess. I heard foot steps outside my door and I hid. I heard a knock and rolled onto the floor a voice and he walked in with a plate. It was Billie.
"I brought you some dinner Adrienne said you slept through it."
Billies pov.
I saw Bianca laying on the floor was she okay? I picked her up and set her head in my lap I stroked her hair. She snapped out of it.
"I-I thought you were.....so-sorry Billie." She flinched when I went to hug her she was hurting I felt bad but that's what foster a kid will have gone through.
"Do me a favor Bianca, if you're ever having trouble let me know?"
She shook her head and I left on that note.
