Adopted by Zoella<DISCONTINUED>

0.3

 Andrea came home that afternoon after the Zoella and adoption incident squealing like a pig more than ever. Someone was going to call the cops soon with how much noise she made.

"You okay?" I laughed when she entered the kitchen. Scott and I decided to make cookies while she was at gymnastics again, and would be a surprise for her and Jean

She shook her head, "ZOELLA GAVE ANOTHER HINT!"

"Will you stop with that?!" I replied. 

Scott looked at us suspiciously, "is that the British beauty vlogger  you've been obsessed with?" 

Andrea nodded excitedly, and pulled out her phone. A video was on her MOREZOELLA channel, and already had one million views since it was posted an hour ago. It was called SNEAKY HINT HMM. Andrea clicked it and began to load.

"Hello everybody!" Zoe said. I always heard her muffled voice through the thin walls upstairs. I rolled my eyes when Andrea began to squeal again. I lightly punched her side and she quieted down. "So as you know, Alfie and I have been wanting to adopt for a while now. We said in the last vlog that we were filling out paperwork and everything, and now we have it settled. Now Alfie and I both know her name and all that other interesting stuff!"

"When will she get to the point?" Scott said, hovering over us as we stayed glued to her screen. I had to admit, if I was adopted by her, I would steal her clothes everyday and anyday.

"Dad! Shush!" Andrea giggled, pausing the video. I impatiently tapped it to play again, and she started talking more.

"Here is another hint- she is fifteen and her name is very very unusual! At the same time though, I would want that name, so props to her. Anyway, I'm so very excited to meet my new daughter! I've seen pictures of her and she's GORGEOUS! I didn't pick her just for that though, she seems funny from the 'why to adopt me' video and likes pugs." Scott kissed the top of my head while the video went off to her walking her pug around- which was adorable- and Andrea looked at me with a strange sparkle in her eye.

"It's you, Xan. I know it." Andrea said. I leaned closer to the screen while the video played. I understood why Andrea watched Zoe now. She was a sweet and hilarious mess with great beauty tips. I'm so happy that eavesdropping for the week has paid off.

I turned to face Andrea, who had her head on the counter top and eyes closed. "I have hope." I whispered to her.

Then Jean came home. Jean was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met, and when she met me last Sunday, scooped me up and hugged me tightly. I loved her like a mother. 

"Jean!" I called out. The oven beeped, and the cookies were ready to be put in. I jumped out of my chair while Scott went to go greet his wife. Once she came into the kitchen, she hugged me again, just as tight as the first time we met. 

"You feeling better? I know last night you weren't feeling the best." Jean asked, still hugging to our hearts content. 

I nodded with my head on her shoulder, she cooed, "Good, my sweet baby."

Then I realized that my life would never be with them. 

Somewhere else. 

I teared up as we hugged, I needed them in my life, or someone just as sweet. I couldn't stand this stressful life alone.
