Running Into Hamilton

You know We Care- part 3

I've been in the adoption system since I was eight. I lived in Pennsylvania. Every ho-" I was cut off by Anthony "You lived where? Please say like... upper Pennsylvania." He was worried. "More like Philly..." I trailed off.

"You lived in Philly, and then ran to New York? God, how long did you run for?" Anthony asked, concern flooding his eyes. Jazzy leaned on him, coming closer to me. "Well, I don't remember exactly, but... somewhere around... 2 weeks." I said, looking at my lap. Anthony lifted my head with his hand. "Two weeks?! And your foster parents haven't been after you?"

"When they saw I was gone, they didn't really care. They didn't care when I lived with them, why would they when I left." I whispered the last part. I could feel the tears welling in my eyes.

*Anthony's pov*

I hugged her. No 13 year old should have to go through this. "I cant... How could someone be so heartless?" I asked, not really to her, or jazzy, just... to the world. "Well, you probably need some clothes, we can go shopping today. Renee, pippa and I were planning to go today anyway!" Jazzy said from behind me, pulling me out of my trance.

"Ok, well, wait, I don't have much money." She spoke so quietly. She is so adorable. "You really think we would make you pay? And, we're going to dinner tonight with some of the cast. They all want to meet you." I said, and she lit up at the word dinner.

"You hungry?" I ask, playfully punching her arm. She looks up at me, smiles and nods. I get up and look in the fridge. "Well, we've got some stuff to make sandwiches, leftover Chinese, oh there's some pizza... And so-" "did you just say pizza! Yes yes yes I haven't had pizza in so long!" Madeline shouted, bolting up from the couch and running to the kitchen.

"Alrighty then, I'll put it in the oven!" I said, trying to not run into this smol ball of energy at my feet. After it's done I put it on the table. "Its on the table!" I called and saw her run into the room. "Hey, do you have like a nickname, I mean I'm fine calling you madeline, I just thought a little name would be cute, like mad, or line, or Maddie?" I asked. She looked at me with these helpless eyes, god she was adorable. "Well back when my parents let me leave, my friends called me Maddie, so I guess Maddie works."

*Maddies pov*

Anthony was so nice. I can't believe they took me in like this. "Hey, Maddie, we're heading out to the mall soon, you ready?" Jazzy asks from behind me. "Oh, ya! Let's go!"I say, jumping up from my spot on the couch. We got to the mall and went to the food court. "What do you want to eat?" Jazzy asks, looking at the plethora of restaurants.

"Oh, I'm not hungry." I said. I sat at the table that Renee and Pippa were already eating at. I gripped my hands around my stomach. I didn't need any more food yet. "C'mon hun, you were starved earlier, Ramos had to hold you back from eating the whole fridge!" She said, trying to get me to eat. "Ya, but i had some pizza, I'm good now."

*jazzy pov*

I don't really believe her, but I don't want to force her to eat. "Actually, I'll have something from burger king." Oh thank goodness. After we ate, we went to forever 21. We all got clothes, and Maddie got some nice outfits. Then we went to some fancier stores to get her dresses and outfits for ham4hams and performances.

By the end, we were all so tired, and we had so many bags. As we were hauling them out to our cars I heard Maddie pipe up. "Thank you so much you guys, where am i even going to put all of this?" She asked, putting the bags in the back of the car. "You'll find out soon enough hun." I said and got in the car.
