Chapter 4

So I am waiting in the living area with 3 other kids waiting for the couple who wants to adopt one of us. They came in, said heey and shook everyone's hand. They went into her office with the first girl. I got really nervous they seemed really nice and I would love to feel wanted...

They came back and took the other girl. It was taking a long time I was afraid that they really liked her and that they would pick her. I mean she deserved it as much as I did but I just really hoped they would pick me. After a little bit they came back out again and Abby called my name.

I walked in to the room and sat in the chair next to Zoe. They started asking me all kind of questions I anwsered them and they asked some questions to Abby and I kinda zoned out.

Suddenly I feel everyone staring at me "sorry, what did you ask?"
"How did you get here?" Alfie asked. A question no one had ever asked me. And I don't know if I am ready to anwser it.
"Uhm, uhm" tears start forming in my eyes and I feel a panick attack coming. I think Zoe sees it because she immediatly says "it's okay, take your time breath in and out."

As I do what she says I start getting more calm. I take one last deep breath and start telling my story. (The story was already in chapter 2 so I'm not puting it in again.) when I was done telling my story Alfie had tears in his eyes and Zoe was crying. Everyone dried their tears and they got the other boy and brought me out again.

When the boy was done they called me again and told me they wanted to spend the rest of the day with me to get to know me better. I was so excited but also scared I am gonna screw this up.

We talked about it and decided to go to harry potter land.

I went in all the rides with Alfie and Zoe watches all the bages. The last ride we went together.  Sometimes in between rides they asked me questions. When we got back they told me that they would pick me up tomorrow and to make sure that I had packed by then.
