Adopted By Janiel [ book one ]

~ Part 8 ~

Btw, I think I might have started this in past tense. But note that this is all in present tense.

I thought I would add like something really weird in the beginning. Idk why I'm bored.

OH MY GUD JANIEL IS LEGIT. IM SO CRYING RN.

"Good evening sir, my name is Ryan I'll be your waiter this evening, can I start you off with something to drink?" The man asks me.

Joey: "Umm just some water, thanks" I say and the man nods and heads to the kitchen.
I scroll through my Instagram and I see a lot of weird pictures on Shane's profile.

"WHAT THE HECK!?" I think as I come across a video of Daniel and Shane making out captioned "Luv my baby. Happy 9 year anniversary!😍😘😍😍"
I smash my phone down to the ground and run my hand through my hair. I pick up my now shattered phone and go to my contacts. And search 'Daniel' but nothing shows up. I think nothing of it in the heat of the moment so I just add him and it rings about 3 times then I hear his voice 'Uh hello?' He says confusedly with some voices in the background.
"WTF IS THAT VIDEO ON SHANES INSTAGRAM!?" I tell into the phone, catching other people's attention.
"I'm sorry, who is this?" He says and it in fumes me. "WHAT THE HECK DO YOU MEAN DAN!? ITS JOEY!" I yell back.
"Uh WAKE UP!" He yells back in a very high pitched voice then my entire body starts to shake back and forth with Daniel screaming something in a high pitched girl voice.

My eyes shoot open to see Nory shaking me.

Joey: "Okay okay I'm up" I say rubbing my eyes and my voice sorta horse.

Nory: "Joseph, Joseph, Joseph get up!" She says frantically.

I get up in a quick manner and follow her to the front door.

Joey: "What's wrong Nory?" I say in a half yawn.

Nory: "Look look!" She says pointing at the door.

I look out the peep hole to see Meghan standing there.

I open the door and Nory rushes over to the hall and hides herself but still peeks out the side to see what's happening.

Joey: "Oh, hey Meghan!" I say and give her a hug and swing the door wider so she can walk in.

Meghan: "I've been texting you for ages! You said I could meet Norabella today and you didn't even bother to wake up?" She says and playfully hits my arm.

Joey: "Heh, sorry. Well way to go you scared the living hel- heck out of her."
I quickly change my sentence so I don't have Nory catching on Me and Daniels bad cursing habit.

Meghan: "Oh! I'm super sorry about that!" She says

Joey: "It's okay. You can wait in the living room. I'll go get Norabella." I say to her. She smiles and nods then sits herself down on the chair in the family room.

I walk down the hall and turn to Norys room and she's sitting on her bed holding one of her American girl dolls.

Joey: "Hey sweetie, wanna come out and meet one of my best friends Meghan? She's very nice." I say.
She stands up and nods and follows me down the hall to the living room. Meghan's eyes light up and she smiles at Nory. And Nory waves at her.
Meghan: "Hi Nory. I'm Meghan. It's nice to meet you." Nory walks over to her and pulls her hand out.

Nory: "It is very nice to meet you to Meghan." She says

Megan chuckles and shakes her hand.

20 minutes later.
Third person POV
----

Meghan and Nory are in Norys room talking while Daniel and Joey are in the living room.

Meghan: "So Nory, do you like Joseph and Daniella?" Meghan asks

Nory: "You bet. They're super cool" Nory says smiling.

Meghan: "Are you at all scared of them?"
Joey told Meghan and his close friends about Norys past, so they have a better understanding of her shyness and anxiety.

Nory doesn't say anything for a few seconds.

Nory: "No. They pinky swore."

Nory says referring to the promise they made her saying they wouldn't ever hurt her.

Meghan: "What is your favorite thing about living here?" Meghan asks.

Nory: "Hmm. This house is big." Nory says smiling.

Meghan: "Oh totally."

Nory: "Hey can I ask you a question?" Nory says looking up at Meghan.

Meghan: "Sure yeah of course."

Nory: "What should I name this doll?" She asks picking up her unnamed doll and handing it to Meghan.

Meghan: "Hmm. How about... Strawberry?"

Nory: "Isn't that a fruit?"

Meghan: "Indeed. But, I bet no other doll is named strawberry. So you'd be super original." She says handing the doll back to Nory.
I mean, yeah, there was strawberry shortcake...but Nory didn't have to know.
Nory thinks for a moment and stares at the doll.

Nory: "You're right. Imma go with strawberry."
Meghan chuckles and they both continue playing.

Joey: "Are you sure you don't want to stay for dinner?"
Joey pleads with Meghan as she's halfway out the door

Meghan: "Haha, yes Joey. I have to get home. But I hope I can come by soon. Bye hon" she says and blows a kiss to Joey before closing the door.

Daniel: "Well Nory did you like Meghan?" I ask her as she's holding her doll in her lap doing something to her hair, and petting storm on the head every few seconds.

Nory: "Oh she's swell." She replies smiling then looking back at storm.
Me and Joey happily glance at each other.

Joey: "What're doing with your doll?" Joey asks switching off his phone and beginning to yawn.

Nory: "Meghan showed me how to bedazzle stuff. So now I'm making her a gem crown."

Joey: "What's the dolls name again? Nefertiti?" He asks and Norabella give him a loud overly dramatic gasp.

Nory: "It's Aphrodite, dearium!" She says and me and Joey just burst out in laughter.

She's sorta caught on with our nicknames now she's calling us pig, Joseph, Daniella, sweetie, and dearium. Which we have no problem with it considering how hilarious it is when she does say it. With a hint of adorable and cuteness.

A/N Ugh I'm sorry it's so short. (Cries) I'm having asthmatic issues so I
i'm just in bed all day and I'm tired so don't judge.
And because of life, i'm getting sick. Yay.
