Ashley's daughter...

A new beginning

I walked into the room. Jinxx, Jake and Andy were on the couch, CC was sitting alone on the love seat, and Ashley was looking out the window with a confused/thinking expression on his face. All the attention went to me when I walked in. "So...why me?" I asked, feeling a little out of place in the white chair they had me sit in.
"We wanted someone who would fit in with both us, and the fandom." Andy answered. "You were one of the only kids that actually looked nice, but tough enough to carry her own weight." Jinxx finished. "Oh, okay." I said, I wonder what they plan on doing with me around?
For the next couple hours they asked me questions, and made me laugh a bit. I'd never think I'd say it again, but I really want to be a part of this family. They actually care about how I feel, and how I'm doing in school.
"So," Ashley said,"what do you think of us?" He looked worried but slightly curious at how I'd answer. "You all seem pretty awesome." I replied. "So would you be okay if I adopt you?" He asked. "Of course."

The next hour or so, was filled with paperwork and a bunch of mean remarks from Ms. Swanson. "Of all the children here, you choose her?" She asked with a 'you've gotta be kidding me' look on her face. That was about the fifth time she's said that in the last ten minutes, and Ashley was about to lose it. "Ma'am we're not fooling around, just please let us sign the papers so we can get her settled." Jinxx answered. "Here," she handed over the papers in defeat,"now go upstairs and clean your room out." She snapped at me. As I left the room and ran up the stairs, all I could feel was joy! But a tiny little voice in the back of my head told me not to listen to them. The whole situation did seem a little off, but I wasn't going to let it ruin my mood. I'm rarely ever happy, and I don't need someone tearing my life to shreds, yet again.
I walked into the small room I had to myself, it was really quiet today around the building, but as I looked outside I had figured out why. It was snowing! I watched the tiny little flakes land on my window pane, and slowly melt from the drafty heat of inside my bedroom. It was beautiful. All of the little kids were outside on the tiny playground and had used garbage can lids as sleds for the small hill we had in the back of the building, regardless, they were happy. Smiling even! It was a beautiful moment, I wish I could live in it forever. I experience the same world these kids do, and I know what it's like to feel like your demons are ripping you to shreds, but they were happy. And that's all that mattered.
