Infinite (Jai Brooks fanfic)

Chapter 6

The sunlight hit my eyes and I woke up feeling better than usual. Which was strange. I normally felt like shit when I woke up. I was about to check my phone to see what time it was, but felt someone sleeping next to me. I looked to see who it was and my mouth hung open when I saw Adam laying next to me. He looked so calm and was hugging his teddy bear. I don't know why he was in my room, but I began playing with his soft hair. I always wanted another sibling, but at the same time I was glad I didn't have one or else he'd probably be dead by now.

Adam moved around a little, I think he was having a bad dream.

"Adam..?" I shook him slightly. He began rubbing his eyes and started crying.

"Oh my God, are you okay?" I had no idea how to comfort anyone, especially little kids, but I hugged him. He hugged me back. He was so small in my arms and his scent reminded me of my childhood. He smelled like all those baby shampoos that I used to use. His crystal blue eyes started shining and he had the biggest smile on his face when he looked at me.

"Mum told me I couldn't sleep in your room. So when she fell asleep, I ran here and stayed by you."

My heart clenched. I hugged him tighter and let the tears fall out of my eyes.

"Why are you crying? Don't cry. I'll go but please don't cry, or I'll cry." He began to tear up.

"No Adam, I'm not crying because I'm sad. I'm crying because I'm happy."

He wiped away his tears and then wiped mine away. "Mum told me when you're happy, you should smile."

I gave him a small smile just to make him happy. It worked because he began laughing and smiling. He had such a cheerful vibe. I never wanted him to be sad.

"This is Mr. Cuddles" He handed me his teddy bear. "Isn't he cute? I wuv him."

"He's adorable."

"ADAM WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?" Rachel opened my door and ran inside, screaming at him. Adam began to cry and I held onto him tighter.

"He's with me. Its fine." I answered while wiping away Adam's tears.

"No its not. Adam come here." She pulled Adam away from me. "Stay away from her. She's bad, okay?" She warned him.

"No shes not. She wuves me."

"No she doesn't. She just wants you to think that. Come on. Oh, and Ava, you have school today. Better get ready if you wanna get there in time." She took Adam away and slammed my door shut.

Bitch. Thats what she was. Adam actually liked me and she decided to take him away from me. I guess she did the right thing. An innocent child like Adam shouldn't be involved in my messed up life in any way.

I searched for my phone and checked the time. It was 6:02am. Right when I was looking at the time, a message popped up. I never got texts. Who could've texted me?

you aren't suspended. get ready for school. i'll come pick you up. too cold to walk outside.

-jai

How did he get my number? And I wasn't suspended? I had too many questions but decided to let them slip.

I went to my closet in search of clothes. I needed to get some new clothes, all of my clothes were ripped up. I put on a pair of skinny jeans and an oversized sweatshirt along with my vans. I looked at myself in the mirror and instantly regret it. My hair was a mess and I looked as if I hadn't slept in days. I grabbed my backpack and ran downstairs.

"Oh, you're awake! Here eat some breakfast." My dad handed me some bacon and eggs alone with some orange juice.

"No, I'm fine."
