Adopted by Lin Manuel Miranda

Chapter 13- News

      I hadn't moved from my spot in Lin's dressing room since the phone call because I was still in shock. When he walked in he was all happy and jumping around, full of energy. I had no idea how this man could alway crank it up to 10 even though he seemed to always be tired. He came over to me and gave me a big hug out of no where.

     "The show was awesome! It was one of the best shows I think I've done so far. Now you have to come to every show because you are my good luck charm. Anyways I'll get dress and we can go because we have some big news for you when we get home," He spewed out excitedly.

    "Yea I have some news for you guys when we get home as well," I sighed.

   I hated the idea of my ruining his good mood. My mind kept running scenarios about how I was going to tell them and how they would possibly react. I was off in my own little world when I felt Lin shaking me saying we were leaving. He was still excited but little did he know when we got home that happy bubble would burst. I hated this, I hated this so much I couldn't even put it into words.

    After Lin spent some time signing things for people at the stage door we left. The drive home was actually pretty quite, talking wise, but Lin was blasting his music and singing/rapping along. He was really just a bundle of energy right now, I don't know how we are going to calm him down. We got home in good time and silently got out of the car and made our way up to our apartment. Once we got into the apartment I was met with a wall of an amazing fragrance. I looked and saw Vanessa had made some dinner for us and I was ecstatic  because I was starving. Lin greeted Vanessa with a hug and a quick kiss then they looked over at me.

     "So we have something we wanted to talk to you about about over dinner so if-" Vanessa got cut off as I heard a phone ring.

   I felt pure dread rush through my body, knowing almost certainly what the call was going to be about. Lin took his ringing phone out of his pocket and started talking. I quickly ran over and sat on the couch away from them. I didn't want to see their faces when they got this news, I didn't want to know what their sad faces looked like.

     *Lin's POV*

   Anne and I had just gotten home and I was so excited to tell her the news! Vanessa and I were going to adopt her! Well not right now, this process takes time, but we are going to start the adoption process. I quickly went over and gave my wife a hug and kiss hello then looked over to Anne. Vanessa was telling her something about dinner when I heard my phone ring. I looked at the screen and saw a number I didn't recognize but I still picked it up, confused as to who it could be.

     "Hello. Is this Mr.Lin Manuel Miranda," I heard a voice ask.

    "Yes and who would this be," I fired back.

    "I'm Anne's social worker and I have some news for you and your wife," I looked over at Vanessa and I turned the speaker phone on," I'm calling to inform you that we have found a relative of Anne's that is still alive. We are going to place her in her aunt's home and she will hopefully be leaving on Friday. Thank you for housing her and being nice to her it is very much appreciated."

    The phone call had ended as soon as it started. I looked over at Vanessa and she looked back at me. What are we supposed to do now? We want to adopted her so bad but we don't have power over her aunt they would much rather place her with the aunt. All I could keep think was what are we going to do. I walked over to Anne and looked her in the eyes. By the look on her face she knew what was going to happen.

    "We are going to fight for you."

   *Time jump to Thursday, still in Lin's POV*

    We tried everything we could. I mean we called the lady back explaining how we were going to adopt her. We talked to our lawyer about what we should do. He said we couldn't do anything. We talked to every possible person we could about getting Anne to stay with us and we were powerless. That feeling is probably the most horrible feeling I have felt in a while.

     Tomorrow is the day she's supposed to leave and there is nothing we can do. We have to tell her tonight that we failed her. She now has to go live in a place she has never been to before, with a person she's never met, and have no one there that knows her. I have no idea how that must feel but I can imagine it must be horrible. The day passed by quickly and I picked up Anne from school, knowing Vanessa was waiting at home and we were about to break the news to her.

        *Anne's POV*

    Lin was acting really weird. He seemed sad, which was out of the norm, and he couldn't look me in the eye. I wonder what's wrong with him. The drive home was a little more quiet than normal and it seemed to take longer. We finally got home and I noticed Vanessa was home. That was weird because she doesn't usually get off until about 5. Then something even odder happened because both of them sat me down and then sat themselves across from me.

     "So we have some news about you moving to live with your aunt," Vanessa said and my attention was fully on them,"Well we've tried everything we can and we can't stop it. I'm so so sorry but you are going to have to go live with your aunt in Italy."

   My heart shattered. I was going to have to leave my home with them, Liz, and everything I knew just to live with some aunt I had never heard about. My mind was going a mile a minute thinking about everything that was going to happen. I didn't realize I was crying until I felt to pairs of arms wrap around me and a hand wiped tears from my cheeks. What am I going to do? I don't want to leave.
