Suicide

Siblings

"It's fine." Amanda mumbles.

I hear crying, "I'll be right back." I say walking out.

"Oh baby girl." I say picking up Jazmin.

"She's cute!" Amanda says making me jump.

"Fank yous." Jazmin says.

"How old is she?" Amanda questions.

"Two." I reply. "Do you wanna see your brother Noah?"

"Sure!" Amanda replies.

"Hey baby boy!" I say walking in.

"Mama!" He squeals.

"This one is almost 1." I say.

"He's a cute one!" Amanda smiles holding out her arms.

Elliot's POV:
"Hello? Um I would like to set a court date to adopt a child." I say.

"How old is he?" The lady asks.

"She. Um 17?"

"Ok. Name please."

"Amanda Rollins."

"Ok. Uh... did you say Amanda Rollins?"

"Yes. Is something wrong?"

"No. Um she has been in court for rape and child abuse. Thank you. Um are her mother and uncle dead or out of town?"

"I don't think so."

"Ok. The date is the 16 of May."

"K. Thanks bye."  "Babe! Manda!"

"Yeah?" Amanda says in a shaky voice.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry."

"I'm fine. It's fine." She says. "Olivia!"

"Yes?" Liv asks worried.

"Um... we have a court date to adopt her. And we can because she has been in court so many times for rape and child abuse. She's not 20 yet." I tell her.

Amanda's POV:
After he says all that I start to cry.

"Honey? What's wrong?" Olivia asks me taking me to the couch.

"I'm tired of this!" I yell sobbing.

"Of what?" Olivia soothingly questions.

"Of everyone knowing about my rapes and abuses! I feel like the whole world knows. Everyone who knows about it thinks I'm weird!" I sob.

"I don't." I hear Saydi say making me jump.

"Sade? Baby, when did you get here? And why were you gone?" Olivia questions.

"1, yes it's me." She giggles. "2, I climbed through my window just a minute ago. And 3, I went to the store." She explains.

"Why?" I giggle wiping my tears.

"I got you stuff. My mom has been pregnant 3 times since I was born, I know pregnant people have cravings. I don't know what you like though, so here." She tosses me a bag with chocolate, doughnuts, cookies, and 3 tubs of ice cream.

I toss them to her one by one, saying, "Mint Chocolate chip" toss, "Rainbow Sherbert" toss, "and Vanilla!" Toss. I look down at my legs.

"What's wrong?" Elliot asks.

"I'm allergic to Vanilla" I mummble.

"Can I have it?" Saydi asks from the fridge.

We both giggle, "Saydi!" Olivia yells.

"It's fine Olivia" I giggle.

"Fine. You can call me Liv. Or if you are ready mom" She says.

"It's not gonna call you mom the first day I meet you, maybe a couple weeks though." I tell her. I get up and go to my room.

I have a basketball on my wall, a desk in the right corner, a bed that goes over it, a blue, teal, and purple dresser by the door. I walk to my closet and see a purple cheer mat, and a fold up beam, like a portable table.

"Purple is my favorite!" I yell down the stairs.
