Adopted by.........Ed Sheeran?!?!

chapter 14- Meeting Him

Alice's P.O.V

"Alice are you ready?" Alex asked from down stairs. We were going to the park today. The three of us,Alex,Callie, and I. I was actually surprised when daddy let me go without him or anyone else, for that matter . I know he still has trouble with it, because I do too. But I can't let it dominate my life anymore. I need to move on with my life. Its been months since the kidnapping.

I walk down the stairs with shadow. I never leave the house without shadow. Even if I have people with me. It makes me feel safer. 

"ready" I said as we walked out the door, we were walking because the park was just down the street. Which is more than likely the reason why he let me go without him. Because if I needed anything he was just down the road.

The park had a lot of people today. Their was a lot of different noises I could pick up. The squeaking of people going down the slide, the squeak of the chains of the swings moving back and forth, the stomps of shoes on the concrete, the birds singing their tune, all the ducks talking. And the laughter of kids playing with each other.

"There is a lot of people here today."Alex voiced my thoughts. I nodded in agreement.

"So what should we do first?" Callie asked. I shrugged my shoulders. Not really sure what their was that we could do at the moment. I remember what we used to do.

"We could find a table to sit at and just talk." I suggested. I mean we have not been able to just talk for a long time. Not since before the accident if I am remembering correctly.

"That sounds good. It will be just like old times!" Alex said. I nodded with a smile on my face. I miss how things used to be between the three of us. But I would not change anything, what happened shapes who we are and who we will be in the future. My past made me who I am and I'm stronger because of it. Was it painful,yes,would I change anything? Maybe. But I know I am who I am because of the events in my life.

We sat down at the closest table that didn't have anyone already sitting their. I could hear shadow lay down beside the bench we were sitting on. The wind blew and the leaves on the trees rustle and bend in the movement. The signs that the seasons are changing.

"So tell me what your life has been like since well you know." she sighed.

"Well um, after the accident I got put into the foster care system and soon after got adopted by Ed Sheeran. Life has been good since then. You know ,Ed ,is the best dad anyone can ask for,in my opinion. I get to listen to him play his songs. And we all know how much I love his voice and his songs.  Then I got to see you for the first time in over a year at on my 12th birthday and now I am spending time with you guys." I told her the short cut down version of everything not including all that has happened.

"But what about." Alex started but before she could answer I heard an ice cream truck and I cut her off. "Anyways Why don't you go and get some ice cream?" I suggest, changing the subject. Callie did not need to know about the kidnapping of Alex and I by her brother or what he did to me,to us. Her and her brother used to be really close and I am not going to ruin how Callie sees her brother. It's not necessary,at all. It's over and done with, the past is just that. The past and it should stay that way. I for one do not want to re live that experience again. I am going to have to talk to Alex about this later.

I heard them get up from the table. I sigh pulling my fingers through my hair. I felt a tap on my shoulder. I jump a little.

"Are you okay?" a unfamiliar voice asked me. I nodded my head I was fine, well not completely but he didn't need to know that.
