Adopted By 5 Seconds Of Summer

Chapter 9

"Are you okay Abby?" Ashton asked as he drove out of the parking lot. I nodded as I looked out the window and saw the girl with her mom and some guy. They were making out and the guy hugged the girl but acted like he didn't like her. She looked like she didn't like him either. I felt kinda bad for her even though I didn't know her but still. I felt bad for anyone who was ever in my situation.

"You hungry?" He asked pulling into a restaurant and breaking me out of my thoughts. I nodded as we walked inside and sat down. "You don't have to eat a lot but just try okay? You've been doing good through." I nodded as I looked at the menu. We both decided on nachos and ordered it. "Hey can I ask you a question?" He asked as the waiter was done getting our order and walked away. "Sure. What's up?" "How come you don't have breakfast but you have everything else just fine?" "I don't really like talking about it..." "You can tell me Abby." I sighed and looked down as I told him every thing. Well almost every thing.

He just signed and looked down. "Why didn't you just tell me?" "Because whenever anyone would adopt me and find out, they would take me back." "I would never do that Abby. I'm here for you." He said smiling.

This would probably be a good time to tell him.. But right when I was about to, the waiter brought our food.

"Good job Abby you had all your food." I smiled as we looked at the dessert menu. "Did you want a dessert?" He asked as I had my eye on one of them for a minute. I nodded as I smiled. "Which one?" "Cheesecake!" I said with excitement as I pointed to it on the menu. He nodded and smiled. "Since you ate your food you deserve it." He said smiled as he ordered it. "Are you sure you're okay?" He asked for the 100th time as the waiter took our order and walked away.

I should tell him. Before Luke does and thinks I'm a baby. Tell him. I thought to myself. "Abby?" He asked looking at me confused breaking me out of my thoughts again.

"Umm... I have to tell you something.." I said nervously looking down and sighing. "Okay. What's up everything okay?" I sighed. "What's wrong?" He asked looking at me confused. This was hard to do. I finally found a home with people who care about me and are funny and cool to hang out with. I didn't want to leave. But as soon as he found out he would take me back. "Abby!" He cried out breaking me out of my thoughts again. "Yeah?" "What's wrong?? I'm trying to talk to you but you're just ignoring me!!" "I'm sorry... It's just..." "It's just what?"

I told him every thing. He just just sighed and looked down. "Why?" "Why what?" "Why do you do it?" "Because I sometimes feel like no one care about me. I've been to so many different houses my whole life. I just can't tell you hard that is. No one will ever know how I feel. "I care about you Abby. I never want you to feel that way. You're with us now." He said smiling as the waiter brought the desserts. I got a chocolate cheesecake and he got vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup. It was so good. Then he tried giving me some of his ice cream and I told him no that Vanilla was nasty and he gave me the spoon and bowl of ice cream. "Eat it!" He said laughing. Then he almost got ice cream on me. It was a lot of fun.
