(Still Demi's POV)
I see a beautiful tall girl walk in quietly. She has wavy dark hair up to her elbows the most beautiful bright eyes I've ever seen. So full of life! She's very pale.
She is wearing loose black jeans a woolly grey shirt tucked into her pants and a leather jacket similar to mine. She is Beautiful! "Hello gorgeous!, what is your name?" I ask
"Hayley" she replies with the biggest smile I've ever seen on a kid "will I be talking with you today Hayley?" She looks at Margaret who looks fuzzled. "Well technically your still part of the adoption centre so... yes" Margaret smiles at her. Hayley squeals and takes a seat across from me. She's... beautiful.

"Tell me a bit about yourself" I smile at her staring deeply into her.
"Well, my name is Hayley. I love to write! My favourite colour is grey. I love!!! Animals!! One day I really want to help clean the ocean! I was born on the 16th on October in 2001-"
She started

"That's today?" I said

She nodded

"Happy birthday! How old are you?"

"18 today"

"18? Do you have to leave here soon? Your going to be old enough to do anything you want soon"

"Yeah that's what everyone's saying.. but I'm nervous"

"How long have you been here?

"....since I was 7"

"7?!" I was shocked! Why would no one want her?!

"Yeah.. I was actually just leaving the orphanage now.."

"Oh, so what are your plans?"

"Get a job hopefully"

"Hmmm, thank you Hayley I may speak with Margaret I'll catch up with you later"
She nodded and walked out right after Margaret walked in "what did you think?" She asked "I love her! She's the one I'll be bringing home. With me!" I smiled happy with my choice "oh wonderful she'll be so Happy I can't wait to tell her!" She screamed smiling making me laugh  "oh wait.." she said disappointed closing the door..
"What's wrong?!" I got really concerned now..
"There's a few things you need to know about Hayley..."  she said nervous

"Ok" I'm really confused

"Well.. as you know Hayley's been here for quite some time"

"Yeah I'm honestly shocked! Why would no one want her?"

"...here's the thing miss Lovato... Hayley has some... problems.."

"What kind of problems?"

"Mental disorders"

"....."

"depression, anxiety, suicidal, paranoia and trust issues"

"I don't understand"

"Let's take a look at at her file... from age 4 she was raped.. physically abused. Locked out of her house during winter. Under fed. Abusive alcoholic parents. Had glass thrown at her. Which is what that scar on her right thigh is from etc, at the age of 7 she was brought here by her father after raping her in the car and the mother abuses her. A year later she become paranoia causing self harm, she then saw a canceler who confirmed her depression and other disorders. She hasn't self harmed since she was 15. She still occasionally has flash backs and stuff in destress"she finished with her head on the table

"She was so young... how could someone do that?!..." tears filled my eyes as I realised what had happened to this beautiful girl

"This is why she had trouble getting adopted.. she could still react and things might get hard. Do you still wish to adopt her?"

"Yes, this has only made me want her more. I'll help her"

"Very good" Margaret can't help but feel happy as she called Hayley in the room
"Yes?" She walked in cautiously..
"Sit down Hayley" Margaret said "ok.." She seems confused Margaret began to speak.. "Hayley.. Demi Lovato would love to take you home with her today!"
"What really?! You really want to take me with you!" She squealed "yes I'm looking forward to it. I have a proposal" I considered our future together and realised that Hayley's an adult. "Um.. what's that?" Hayley said getting nervous "well, I've taken into consideration that your practically an adult now and that you are hardly going to start calling me ya know...'mother' and you'll be making your own decisions and you may even want to get your own house soon.. so instead of an adoptive relationship.." I started not really knowing where I was going with this
"Sooo?... want me to come live with you?" Hayley tried.
"Yeah I guess that's it!" I said excited "your to old now to be adopted kinda thing" Margaret chipped in.
"Yeah ok!" She's excited as well I can't wait to get home and settle down.

(Hayley's POV)
I can not believe I'm being 'adopted' by DEMI LOVATO this has got to be the best birthday in the history of birthdays! "You ready to go kiddo?" Demi said snapping me out of my thoughts as I stared at her "got all your things? Said bye to everyone?" We are standing in the car park facing the door where everyone's waving bye. "Hey, you ok?" Demi said looking down at me concerned "yeah, never been better" I smiled "ok well let's get in the car" Demi said walking towards a black convertible. I followed her to the car, I sat in the back I felt to scared to sit in the front I don't know why. "Come sit in the front?" Demi said almost a bit hurt I really really am not trying to upset her or start anything with her but I'd rather sit in the back "no it's ok I'd rather be in the back"

"Hm.. do you get car sick?"

"Well. I haven't been in a car since I was 7... but yes, last I remember I do"

"Since you were 7 ay?..." she seems lost in thought

As we pull away from the orphanage I had a flash back

             🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

11 years ago
"Dad stop I'm bleeding!" I screamed
"I don't care"
He kept on at me aggressively pushing and pulling in and out it was hurting a lot... "get out of the car Kyle! Get off her hurry I want to get her inside so we can leave!" Mum shouted  "I can't walk..." I cried "oh for crying out loud! You good for nothing little brat no ones going to want you, you'll rot here!" Mum screamed as she slapped my face over and over and looked at me disgusted. "Just get rid of her! I'll be in the car" mum said and with that dad carried me to the front door knocked on it and left me there. Wondering what was going on, bleeding from my private part, bruises on my face. I have nothing but an over sized shirt and underwear and a letter... that's when Margaret came and changed my life.

           🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

With out realising I started crying... I don't want Demi to see me crying. I burry my head in my hands and pretend I'm going to sleep.

About an hour later we are still driving. "Demi?"
"Yes Hayley?"

"How long until we get there?"

"Home is about another half an hour but I want to stop off at a nice restaurant to celebrate your 18th"

"Oh that's very thoughtful of you but you don't have to"

"Yes I do! And even if I don't, I want to!"

I smiled to myself not really sure what to say

"This will give us a chance to get to know each other better as well!" Demi said

"Yeah it will" I laughed happy
