"You guys are getting adopted" Charlie says. She is in charge of the foster care and all the foster care kids that live here.
"Will we still live here in Illinoise?" Cole asks from the top bunk.
"No. You guys will be moving to Los Angeles. These pe...
I pulled up into the drive way. Brenda and John were waiting at the top of the steps. I put the car in park and shut the car off. Cole got out of the car and slammed the door behind him.
I got out and went to the back of the car. I tapped on Cole's shoulder but he ignored me and started grabbing the two bags that he had. I grabbed my bags and all the trash that was in the car, shut the trunk and locked the car.
I got up to the top of the stairs, in front of the door. I shook hands and exchanged hugs with them. Brenda and John can't have kids. They've tried and tried. So now, they adopt teens who will be the least likely ones to get adopted and raise them till they leave for college or get out of high school.
"Is everything ok with him?" Brenda asked me. They had these expressions on their face. Like they did something wrong.
"I know that look" I say a bit irritated, "it's not your fault. Just give him some time. He'll get use to it sooner or later.".
"Your bedroom is upstairs to your left and then it's the first door to you left. There is a bathroom connected to your room that is all yours.".
"Thanks," I say and walk in. It looks as nice as it does on the inside as it does on the outside.
I did as John said walked to my room. It is beautiful and HUGE!!! It is full of purple which is my favorite color.

It is such an amazing room. I have never had anything this good. I walked over the bathroom and I was surprised wen I went in. The bathroom was also purple. It is amazing.

I started putting everything away. And then walked back to the bedroom. I realized that there wasn't enough room in that one tiny dresser that was by my bed. I looked around the room and then saw another door. I walked to it and opened the door.
It is a walk-in-closet. It is so beautiful. This all feels like a dream. I put all my clothes away and took my pills.
My nerve in my leg got all screwed up so I have to take pills to keep infections away. I also have to wear a brace when it hurts to walk so I don't screw up my leg to much. I would like to still play basketball.
I walked across the hall to Cole's new bedroom he was laying on his bed listening to music. With how much his thumbs are moving around I am guessing that he is playing one of his shooting games.
His bedroom is smaller than mine and blue. Blue is his favorite color. I guess they got the memo when I told them that he doesn't like having big rooms. He doesn't like all the extra space.

I shut his door behind me. I get ready to go back to my bedroom when I hear the doorbell ring. I head to the top of the stairs and lean on the railing as my new parents open the door. I am curious as to who it is.
In walks in to older people about the same age as my new parents and behind them is Taylor. Damn he looks good in white. He looks up at me and smiles and starts walking up the stairs towards me. All I can do smile. I can't help it.
