Adopted By Him..

Part 2

"Hey! Hey, dude! You got a text message"

'Shut up Brendon,' I thought 'I wanna sleep.'

I opened my scrunched eyes, and looked to see who messaged me at.. 7:15am, ugh. An unknown number.

The message read: "Hey Alice," I cringe at the sight of that name."I'm sorry if I looked like I was about to kill you yesterday, you looked really scared.." I scratch my head with confusion, how does this person know me?

Even though I shouldn't, I text back: "Yeah, it's.. Cool.. Quick question, how do you know my name?" I hesitate to send it at first, but press send so it doesn't take me about a week to respond, like it normally does.

After 20 minutes of waiting for Brendon to shout at me, (A/N - I'm referring to the text tone) I decide to put my phone down and try to get some more sleep.

*8:35am*

I glance down at my phone, still nothing from this mysterious person. I want to send something else, but I don't know what, and I don't feel safe talking to them, whoever they may be.

"Alice?" I jolt my head up, to see Michelle, probably the only person who likes me here, leaning against my door frame. "Someone's here to see you," she says, "and I think they want to adopt you!" She says softer and almost inaudible.

I nod quickly and softly say, "I'll be down in a few minutes." She softly smiles and nods, before leaving me to get dressed.

5 minutes later, I was dressed in a large Panic! hoodie, black and white skinny jeans, and my FOB high tops, and jogging down the stairs and to the door that said "Adoption Room." I knock politely before hearing a faint 'come in.' I step into the room and my jaw drops to the floor, my eyes nearly bulge out of their sockets.

"Hey Alice," the familiar, fire-red haired man exclaimed, "I guess you know why you're here, hm?" I nod slightly, before gulping, my barely visible adams apple bobbing up and down. I look over at Michelle, who motions me to sit down next to him, so I do.

*9am*

"Alice, go and pack," Michelle exclaims happily but sadly. "be down and ready in 10 minutes, okay?" I nod, and send a soft smile her way, before walking out of the room and upstairs to mine.

I ran straight to my closet, and swung both doors open, grabbing everything I owned, and chucking it into a suitcase that was lay open on my bed, not caring about how they looked, and zipped my suitcase up. I put my flats in my backpack, along with my phone charger, glasses case, with my unused glasses inside, and my few band magazines.

Carelessly, I threw my suitcase down the stairs, it landing on its side with a large thud.

"Hey!" Someone shouted. "Watch it little girl!" I cringed at 'little girl' but shrugged it off and strolled down the rest of the stairs, to be greeted with my.. Dad, I guess.

After a very emotional goodbye to everyone, I made my way outside with him to see, no car.. "Da- Dude, where's your car?" I asked, genuinely confused. He pointed to a car parked outside the car park, taking long strides to the car. Surprisingly, I made it to the car just after him, opened the door to the back seats, and chucked my bag on the seats.

"You're pretty careless for a girl, Alice.." He said, shrugging his shoulders, as I sit in the car.

*9:55am*

We arrived at his medium-sized house, painted an off-white. I stepped out of the car and opened the back door to get my backpack out. He had gotten my suitcase out of the trunk, or out of wherever he'd put it, and placed it on the floor

"Welcome to your new house Alice," he said, warmly smiling afterwards. I muttered a 'thanks' and walked up to the door. He unlocked the door painfully slow, but angrily swung it open, making me jump at his sudden outburst

10am, I'm in my room, I think. This guy must be the laziest guy in existence, as he just runs off somewhere, leaving me to look around myself. The first room I came across, was painted a light shade of pink, with a bed in the middle of the room, so I'm guessing it's his daughters room..

Oh, and did I mention, I don't actually know his name yet, I just know he acts like he doesn't care, but I'm pretty sure he does, deep down.
