Chapter 1: Say it ain't so

Ryder's POV:

"Alright were all set. I just need you to sign right here. Then, she's officially yours." Tasha said walking in with the papers.

I'm actually really scared. I don't know what it's like to have a new home and a new family. I don't know if Drew's going to hurt me.

Drew signed them as I grabbed my bag with the few things I had in it.

"I have to go say bye to someone." I said and walked down the hall to my only friend's room.

"Ryder!" Nick yelled as I walked in.

"I'm being adopted." I said hanging my head low. I don't want to lose my bestfriend.

"You'll be fine. We'll stay in contact." He said as we pulled each other into a hug.

"I have to go. Bye." I said before walking out.

I walked back to my room where Drew and Tasha stood talking about whatever.

"You ready?" Drew asked as I nodded my head slowly.

I gave Tasha a hug as she told me everything would be fine.

We walked out and a car was waiting for us. This is different.

We got in and sat next to each other. Damn, these seats are comfy.

"You're going to love your new family." Drew said.

"Promise?" I asked.

"I promise. They're hilarious." He said chuckling a bit.

We pulled up to a big house. Like, Holy Shit.

"You like it?" Drew asked taking my bag.

"How do you afford something like this?" I asked in total awe.

"I saved up. Now let's go." He said grabbing my hand and running into the house.

The house was even bigger inside. But, it wasn't all high end or anything. There were clothes everywhere and empty cans and pizza boxes. God, I'm gonna stab a wall because, of OCD.

"Follow me." He said giving me a tour of the house.

"This is your room." He said as we reached the last room. God, it was perfect.

It had mint green walls, fairy lights, a huge empty wardrobe, a bed beside the window, a desk with a laptop, a t.v, and there were posters on the walls of old bands like The Who, Nirvana, Queen, The Beatles and Motley Crüe.

"It's perfect. I love it. Thank you." I said hugging Drew as he sat my bag down on the bed.

"I'm glad you like it. So, I'll take you to meet the rest of your family, then we'll go shopping and then we have something really important to talk about." He said.

"Sounds good to me." I said. I'm really nervous for what the important thing is.

But, right now I'm even more nervous about the rest of the family. What if they don't like me?

"They just got home." Drew said looking out the window. "You're gonna hide in the kitchen. I'll tell them and you'll just casually walk out. That's the best I got." He said as we walked downstairs and I went into the kitchen.

I stood there listening to the conversation. It was killing me not knowing what they look like.

"So, I have a kid I just found out about." Drew said.

"What the hell Drew? Why didn't you use protection?" I heard one say.

"Wait. How old are they?" Another asked.
