It all started on January 30th; the day my brother died. The day my parents divorced. The day, I became an orphan. My parents already had a drinking issue, and I guess they couldn't handle the thought of losing their only son. But here I was, getting a call saying that they were found on the scene of a car crash. The worst news I've heard all week. I was 5 years old then and I'm still getting nightmares now with my eyes open.
"Hero, c'mon. We have to get you to your new home." That's just the child service guy, Philippe. He's no one important.
"Coming Philippe!" I exclaimed, running down the stairs of the house that I've grown accustomed to. He held out his hands to take my suitcases. I gladly put the baggage on the ground near him.
"Okay Hero, this is the only time you'll get the chance to decline the adoption, are you sure you want to go through with it?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. I took the time to actually look at him since he first came to my house. He had sky blue eyes, bushy eyebrows but perfect shape, dark black hair, and very light skin. (I got this from Derek Hale aka Tyler) What was the question?
"Huh?" I questioned, shaking my head while removing my gaze from his hazel eyes. He chuckled.
"Are you sure you want to go through with this adoption? We need your approval to do this." He asked once again, tilting his head ever so slightly. All I could manage was a simple nod. He returned the gesture before turning to pick up my bags. Before his hand could touch the first handle, I stopped him.
"Philippe?" I whispered, keeping my gaze fixated on the ground.
"Yes?" He responded, looking over his shoulder.
"Will these people be nice? Remind me of home? My real one, that is." I asked, finally removing my gaze to meet his. He sighed.
"Hero I will be completely honest with you," He said ending down to my hight. "I have never met the couple. All I know is that they have two other children; both boys. I don't get to read their files, but they do have a big house and a lot of money. I know you'll like it there." He finished, standing. He grabbed my bags in one hand and offered me the other. With that we left the house, not looking back once.
