Safe outside - A The Script fanfic

Chapter 6

We get back to the hotel at 1 am, and we would have gone back even later if it it wasen't for me literally falling asleep in the chair. Then we realized that maybe we should get going. Now I wish that I would have had some more sleep 'cause I'm almost falling asleep in my hot chocolate from Starbucks. It's times like these that I wish that I was a coffee drinker. Danny is sitting next to be in the sofa, the tv on as usual. We are just waiting for the police office to open so that we can go there and I can meet my new parents. Of course I'm imagining what it will be like, seeing them for the first time. Also, I know that Danny and the lads are going away today, to San Diego I think, to preform so it's kinda sad 'cause this is the last day that we will hang out. We have promised to keep in touch and make sure to see each other if we're in the same city sometime, but it's really not gonna be the same.

"Okay, I think we can go now" I say and stand up. We get our coats and shoes and walk outside.

"Are you nervous?" Danny asks as we start walking.

"Yeah, really" I answer. "I'm gonna be fine I guess, just wonder what they're like."

"Yeah, I bet." We walk quite for a while, but they Danny speaks again. "Look, I don't want this to end in a fight again but I just can't let it go... I just wanna know that you're gonna be okay... Maybe you haven't thought about it 'cause I guess it's not really an option but do you really want to like... Get two new parents, and just leave everything behind you? Can you do that?"

This time I don't react the same way as I did last time he brought it up. Now I know him and don't just wonder why we cares. "I guess that's the thing; I don't really have a choice so I'm not even gonna bother and think like that. Getting an idea and everything, like what else am I going to do? That's the last thing I need to do; create a problem that's not even there yet, you know?"

He nods. "Yeah, I get it. But just promise to call and tell me how you're doing, okay?"

"Okay" I smile.

We get there and walk straight to one of the desks.

"Hi, my name is Carrie Parker and I have an appointment here today." I say to the lady behind the desk.

"Sure, I'll call Mr. Johansson in."

"Great, thank you." We take a couple of steps away from the desk so that the next person can come forward. I look up at Danny and make a face like to say "well, this is it."

The same policeman walks in. "Hello miss Parker."

"Hi."

"You can come with me, Mr. and Mrs. Brown are in there waiting for us."

I nod and turn to Danny. "Will you wait? It probably wont take that long. Then we'll come out and we can say goodbye, okay?"

"Sure." He smiles and I smile back. We could say goodbye now, but I'm just a coward and try to push it up to the last minute. I follow Mr. Johansson through a door, down a hallway and through another door, into his office. There's two people that's sitting in two chairs in front of his desk, one chair left on their right. They turn around. The woman is maybe fortyfive, with brown short hair. She is wearing a dark blue blouse and a black skirt. The man is quite a bit older and he allready got a couple of gray hairs in his also brown hair. He is wearing a black jacket and a pair of blue jeans. They both smile, nervous smiles. Mr. Johansson takes a seat behind the desk and I sit down in the only one left. Mr. and Mrs. Brown look at me like they're about to start crying.

We sit there for about half an hour, signing papers with tight lips and nodding heads. It's awkward. I just can't get that I'm going to spend so many years with these people. It's like being in a white, cold house that just feels so unnatural, knowing that you are going to have to make that place feel like home. Then we stand up and walk out. Down the corridor. Mrs. and Mr. Brown are walking arm in arm, and Mrs. Brown reach out for my shoulder and pat it awkwardly. Oh yey, that really made me feel like there's nothing to be worried about. It's all going to be fine, we will become the best of friends and I will be able to tell them everything!
