Broken

Chapter 2

Bruno's POV

"So did you have fun at the studio?" I asked Casey.

"Yeah I guess." She answered.

"So what are you gonna do?" I asked her.

"About what?" She asked.

"Well like are you gonna go back to your dad?" I asked her. I felt so sorry for her.

"I have no choice." She said.

"No you do have a choice." She told me.

"No I don't, there's no way I can get away from him. He'll find me." She started to cry. I pulled to the side of the road.

"Hey. It'll be ok." I told her. she kept quiet and She kept crying. I hugged her tightly and we stayed hugging for about 20 minutes. Then I drove us to my house. Her eyes were red and puffy. I felt so bad for her. We got to my house and we went inside and sat on the couch.

"Thanks." She said.

"For what?" I asked.

"For everything, For getting me off the street, taking me in, just everything." She told me.

"It's no problem. Are you hungry?" I asked.

"Yeah" She answered.

"I'll cook something. You like pizza?" I asked.

"Yeah." She answered. I went into the kitchen to cook. There was a knock at the door. "Casey can you get that please?" I asked her.

"Yeah I got it." She said. A few minutes later Casey ran into the kitchen. I hugged her.

"What is it?" I asked. There was a knock on the door again.

"My dads at the door." She said. "I don't know what to do."

"Stay in here I'll...." She cut me off.

"No I have to go back." She said.

"No you dont." I said.

"Yes I do I can't just live with you forever." She told me.

"Why not?" I asked.

"Because that would be like kidnapping." She explained.

"Oh, well I could......" I stopped myself.

"You could what?" She asked.

"I could maybe adopt you." I told her.

"OH MY GOSH! REALLY?" She was so happy and it made me feel so good.

"Yeah." I answered.

She hugged me. "Thank you, Bruno but will it be ok with your parents?" She asked me.

"I'm 26. I can make my own choices." I told her.

"Ok..." She said. There was another knock on the door. "What are we gonna do?" She asked me.

"Sit on the couch. I'll get it." I told her.

I went to the door. When I opened it there was a tall man with blonde hair. "Hello sir."

"Hello. Is Casey here?" He asked.

"Um yes and I think we should all talk." I explained.

"About what?" He asked.

"Well..... Just come on in." I said.

"Ok." He said.

We all sat on the couch to talk. I could tell Casey was nervous, she was shaking all over.
