Drew's POV:

"Wait a minute." Keaton said, stopping me before I ran out of the door.

"What?" I almost screamed at him. That boy is taking time out of me getting my daughter back.

"What if this happens again?" He asked.

"What the fuck do you mean?" I asked.

"Like what if they come back?" He asked.

"I don't know." I sighed.

"Okay. Keaton, Wes, and Julianna, you guys need to stay here and fix whatever the problem was. I'm 90 percent sure that they'll come back if I can get her back. Kelsey, would you like to come with me?"

"Of course." She said.

"Julianna, I'm sorry this had to happen while you were here." I apologized.

"No, it's totally cool." She smiled. "Good luck."

I pulled Kelsey out to my pick-up truck.

I pulled out onto the road and sighed.

I'm getting my baby girl back. And I won't stop until I do.

I drove the fourty-five minutes to the adoption home.

I got out and ran in, with Kelsey right behind me.

"Where's Ryder?" I almost yelled at Tasha, who sat at the front desk.

"She's upstairs in her room." She smiled as I nodded and ran upstairs.

I ran down the hall until I reached the door that said "Ryder's Room".

I opened the door and walked in. I saw the bathroom door was shut and locked.

I knocked on the door.

"I'll be out in a minute Tasha." Ryder's voice said from the door. It sounded like she'd been crying.

Ryder's POV:

"I'll be out in a minute Tasha." I said as I cleaned the blood off of my wrists and from the floor.

I put bandages on the cuts and whipped my tears, putting on a fake smile.

I opened up the the bathroom door and couldn't believe my eyes.

"Drew!" I yelled and jumped into his arms. "I missed you so much." I mumbled into his shoulder.

"It's only been an hour baby." He chuckled.

"I know but, still." I smiled.

I haven't smiled like that in awhile. It was a real smile. Not fake. It was a real smile. It truly was.

Tasha walked in smiling.

"Is everything okay in here?" She asked.

"Look who it is!" I almost yelled.

"I already saw him, sweety." She smiled. "Drew, can I talk to you?"

Drew nodded and put me down and walked out of the door with Tasha.

I hugged Kelsey tightly.

"Wes, Keaton, and Julianna stayed home to fix the problems." She smiled. "Were getting you back."

Drew's POV:

"I found a way you can get Ryder back." Tasha said.

"Really? How?"

"A few things; You have to put Ryder into rehab for a bit, to prove that you care about her health. You have to prove that you're trying to stop all the hate she's getting. You have to show that Ryder has a mother figure in her life, and lastly Dr. Piatt and Miss Jackson have to inspect the house." She sighed.

"Well get Dr. Piatt and Miss Jackson down here. I'm going to prove them something." I said as she quickly dialed a number and I ran into Ryder's room.

"I'm getting you back!" I yelled and hugged her. "But, I need to ask you two a very important question."

"I need to show that Ryder has a mother figure and I wanted to know if you would be Ryder's mother figure. But, only if Ryder wants it." I asked Kelsey and Ryder.

"I'm fine with it." Ryder said.

"Of course." Kelsey said.

I pulled them into a tight hug.

Tasha walked back in and Ryder ran up to her and talked to her, probably about what was going on.

"Uh, Kelsey. Can I ask you a question?" I asked her.

"Sure." She smiled.

"Uh, I don't really know how to say this. You're the only girl that makes me lost for words. Will you uh, be my girlfriend?" I stuttered out.

"Yes." She smiled and crashed her lips onto mine.

When I kissed her back, it sent shocks through my feet and created a feeling in my stomach that I've never felt when I kissed any other girl. Kelsey Yamamoto will be the one. I know it.
