Adopted by Jennifer Lawrence

[1] Helping a Stranger

Bella's p.o.v

"Bella!" the girls called with excitement  as I walked through the door. I crouched down and opened my arms as they came running  down the hall towards me. "Hello girls", I say as I embrace them. "What did you two get up to whilst I was at school? I hope you didn't give Lucy to much grief."  "No we were good. Weren't we Molly?" Rory asked. Molly nodded furiously in agreement. "Yeah? Well lets see what Lucy has to say about that," I say as I walk down the hall towards the kitchen.

"Luce?" I call. "In here," she replies. I follow her voice to the living room where I find her packing up the girls dolls. I bend down to help. "Hey Bell. How was school?" "You know. It's school all it is  work, work, work and then to top that of they make sure to give us homework so that there's no chance of relaxing." I laugh. We finish putting the dolls away and stand. "Do you think that you could go down to the store and buy the things we need for dinner. I would go myself but there is just so much that still needs to be done," she asks. I can see how tired she is and feel sorry for her. She never gets a moment to herself to sit and relax. "Of course I will. I just have to finish my paper on Shakespeare and then I'll go out," I offer "Oh darling girl what will I do when you get adopted?" she says as she hugs me. "Come on Luce I know that your optimistic but we both know that there's no way that's going to happen.No one wants a teenager, they want a kid." I say as my body feels with sadness and disappointment. "Never give up hope little one," is all she says as she walks out of the room.

.......................

As  give the money to the cashier two younger teenage girls scream with excitement and run out of the store. "Jeez. I wonder what's up. You'd think they'd just seen Harry Styles or something," the cashier laughed. "Yeah. I wonder what they're so exited about," I reply as I pick up the bag and walk out the door.

"Woah," is all get out before our bodies collide. "I'm so sorry! I didn't see you," she said as I stand. "It's fine really," I gasp as I take her in. Shes beautiful. She has short platinum blond hair, she's wearing black jeans and a plain blue t-shirt with black heels. "So your why those two girls were squealing," "What?" "Back in the store two girls squealed and ran out. Now I know why, because Jennifer Lawrence was outside. Why were you running anyway?" I ask, but all she does is look towards the end of the street. Then as I turn and look as well, a huge crowd of people carrying cameras run towards us.

Jen's p.o.v

"Holy shit!" she says. "Tell me about it!" I reply looking for somewhere to escape to. I hate the paparazzi I can't even walk down the street without them being right behind me. "Follow me," she says. "I know where we can get away from them," That's all the convincing I need, I nod and we take off down the street. We get to the end of the street and turn left around a corner and then run into a store. "Hey Bella! I'm pretty sure you don't have a shift today," the man behind the desk says to her. "Hey Scott, I don't have a shift but I need you to do us a favour, in a minute a huge crowd of people are gonna come in here and ask if you've seen us I need you to tell them that you think you saw us going the other way.Okay?" she asks. "Sure, but why is there a huge crowd of people chasing you?" "I'll explain it all tomorrow," she answers over her shoulder and I follow her through a door at the back of the shop. 

The door leads to an ally that looks like it's meant for deliveries. "Where are we?" I ask. "At the end of this street is my house you can come back with me if you want and I could call an Uber or something," she offers. "That would be great thanks. Don't worry about the Uber though I'll call my driver later. So Bella is it? Thanks for getting me out of there I don't know what I would've done If I hadn't run into you," I laugh at the last bit and add, "literally." She laughs as well. "It's Isabella but you can call me Bella or Bell as well, I don't really mind and no problem you were in quite a situation." "Well Bella I'm J-" "Jennifer Lawrence I know." I laugh is there not anyone who doesn't who I am "Call me Jen. Now.." I say as we begin to walk down the ally towards the street. "You know who I am why don't you tell me a bit about yourself,"

As we walk down the street Bella tells me about who she is. Shes 16 and will be turning 17 in 5 months. Shes an orphan who's parents died in a car crash when she was 13. She now lives with a woman named Lucy, her foster carer and two young girls Molly and Rory but tells me that they probably won't be there much longer because kids their age get adopted all the time. She then told me how there isn't much chance of her being adopted because no one wants a teenager so once you turn 12 you loose a lot of the chance that you will get adopted and because she was put in the system at 13 she never really had a chance. I then argued that she is a beautiful, kind girl and that there was no way that no one could not want to adopt her. She just smiled but she didn't look very persuaded.

Bella's p.o.v

"Luce I'm back," I call as Jen and I walk through the door. "Kitchen," she calls back and we walk down the hall. "Oh," Lucy says when she sees Jen. "Isabella! Why did you not tell us that we would have company, I would have worn something more appropriate," I laugh. "Lucy this Jen. Shes going to get picked up later and I said that she could wait here if she wanted." "Jennifer Lawrence. It's a pleasure to meet you" Jen says as she shakes Lucy's hand. "Bella is a wonderful girl you have raised her very well," They both smile at me and I blush a little "Bell go get the girls and introduce them to Jennifer," Lucy instructs. So I walk into the living room to find the girls. 

"Rory, Molly come into the kitchen we have a guest," "Okay," they say in union and get up and run into the kitchen. I follow close behind. "Girls this is Jen." I say as we walk into the kitchen. "hi," they say shyly. She smiles down at them. "You must be Rory and Molly," they nod. "Okay girls you can go back and play. Dinner's nearly ready," They both run out of the room. "Sorry. They can be shy sometimes but they'll come round," I apologise to Jen. "Jennifer you must stay for dinner, that is if you don't have any other plans, were having roast chicken," Lucy looks towards Jen. "Oh yes Jen. You must be starving," I add. " I wouldn't want to intrude," "Nonsense I insist, plus it's rude to have guests over and not feed them," Lucy argues "Well in that case I'd be delighted." "Wonderful. Bell you take Jennifer on a tour of the house. Dinner will be Ready shortly," 

Jen's p.o.v

"Wow that's a lot of books," I say as we walk into Bella's room. "Yeah, I like to read," she says as she closes the door behind her. I walk over to the piles of books and notice The Hunger Games from the top of one of them. "I see you have good taste," I laugh. I turn around to take in the rest of the room. As well as the many piles of books she has a single bed, a closet, a chair which I'm guessing she sits in when she reads and a desk the room is to small for much else. Although the room is small it is very neat and organised. I laugh as I see the three posters on the wall. The first is of Emma Watson, the second of Four and Tris from Divergent kissing and the third of me! "Very good taste indeed." I say as I turn around to face her. She blushes. "Oh.Um. Yeah. Ignore that. You see Emma and you are like my inspiration and I'd do anything to be  Shailene I mean she get well do that" she says gesturing to the poster, "with Theo James are you kidding me?" "Your practically drooling," I tease. "Yeah well he's hot." "He's MY age," I argue "And if you end up dating him I will hate you forever cause I call dibs." she laughs. I'm not really interested in Theo but I keep going anyway. "Again he's MY age!" "Oh come on you've got Josh  Hutcherson at least give me Theo," "Eww. You can have them both Josh and I are just friends." she smiles wickedly. "I knew that would shut you up." we both start laughing out loud. I really like Bella she seems very similar to me and I'm having a great time with her so far.
