Definition Of Her//Adopted By Lin Manuel Miranda(COMPLETE)

Chapter 14. Potential Future

Grays pov:

    Pippa and Lin passed out on the couch, I've been awake since Lin came and put me back in the guest room. I wall over quietly and gently pull up Pippas shirt. A purple bruise is forming, I gently place an ice pack on her stomach with a dishcloth wrapped around it. I silently prayed she wouldn't wake up which she didn't.

    I walked around the destroyed living room, thinking back to my dream

   "Just let me go. Get me out!" I screamed banging on the door and running from him. Throwing what I could to get out the door and slow him down...

   It made a lot of sense, as I picked up the pillows and blankets I begin to question 'why do they care so much' It's not like I have any benefit to them. I'm more of a pain then a "blessing" like all other children are. Then again, I'm not their child. I'm just some girl, they found on the street.

   I'm a bloody street kid with PFS, why keep me? Why tolerate me? Why not just send me to a foster home? Why?

   "Gray? What are you doing?" I hear, I turn to see Lin standing up, gently placing a sleeping Pippa onto the couch where he once layed. "Folding" I said, he chuckled. "Why aren't you sleeping?" He asks as they fold the blanket together. "I've had enough for one night as I'm sure have you two" I say but quickly add. "You also could've told me Pippa has a bruise". He looks puzzled. "Bruise?" He questions, he walks over to her noticing the ice pack. He gently pulls up her shirt and surely enough a purple bruise is forming.

   "Did you get the ice or did she?" He asks, I grin as he smiles down at her. "I did" I say, thus time he smiles at me. He sits down on the opposing couch. "Come hither" he beckons, I laugh at the Shakespeare phrase. I sit down and he pulls me into a hug. "You're a good kid Gray" he says, I laugh. "More like a pain in the ass" I retort, he snorts. "Really, I mean it that is why I want to quote un quote foster you" he says, he looks down at my questioning whether I was opposed or not. It's into the early hours of the morning on a Monday and he's asking me to decide me potential future.

       Don't mess this up Gray....
