Ok so this is my first Felix POV! I'm thinking of only doing the pov's between Lola, Georgie, Felix and possibly David. So yah.
#100 reads YAY! Cause this book was like on 20 reads just a week ago :/ lol
Felix's pov: Yay!
Why has she gone limp? I broke apart from our amazing kiss and her body slumps against mine. I feel for her heart beat.
She's asleep.
Who falls asleep during a kiss?
Grabbing her purple hoodie that was wet and on the ground I fling it around my neck and start carrying her home in the rain. Hopefully Lily has packed up the picnic and the candles like she said she would. The gold band sparkled around Lola Roses wrist. I love that name. But that bracelet was worth a years work money and the $200 from her room. I love her that much. I can't believe I told her that I loved her and she replied with falling asleep.
Finding the doorknob I open the door quietly realizing the time on the clock. 12:30am. Mrs Green must of gone to bed. She knew about our date and when I didn't come home earlier she trusted me to get home at any time. Slipping into Lola's room I gently lay her down on the bed, taking her wet boots off. Her clothes are sopping wet but I didn't feel the right person to change her. Georgie!
“You awake?” I look into Georgie's room to find her up on her computer doing something.
“What are you doing Felix?” She asks me, her eyes not moving and inch form the screen.
“Can you change lola she's asleep and really wet” I explained to her.
“Really wet huh?” She turns to face me, wiggling her eyebrows and smirking at me. I face palmed.
“Not like that!” I told her.
“Okay okay just messing with ya. K i'll get her into her pj's” She got out of bed and padded along to the next room. 2 minutes later she came back into her room.
“You can say goodnight to her now. Plus if you got her that solid gold bracelet. . . man your whipped” She shook her head and shoved me out of her room.
Walking into Lola's room I find her quietly sleeping. I lean down and brush some dirty blonde hair out of her face. I press my lips to her forehead and run my fingers down her arm coming to a stop at the bracelet.
I guess I am whipped.

4 Months later:
Today's the day. Apparently we have some more parents coming into the building to adopt someone. Lola and Georgie had been almost taken 3 times since they came here but then Georgie would ruin it on purpose. Each time Mrs Green would scold her saying that she wants to be adopted not drive the couples away. And each time Georgie replied 'I only go if Lola goes' And so on. . .
Personally I don't want to be adopted. It would feel weird just barging into another family and having to live with them. I'm 18 in 2 months anyway and I hope to buy myself a flat. Save up enough money to go into a cafe business and live the rest of my life cooking. Sounds like a plan to me.
“Kids! They're here go into the tv room and look presentable!” Mrs Green yelled from the kitchen. She hurried down the corridor just as I went into the tv room.
Here we go again. . .
Lola's POV:
I saw Felix enter the TV room and motioned for him to come over. He sat down next to me and I put my arm around him.
“Nervous again Lola?” He asked me. I sighed.
“I just don't want to leave you” I replied.
“Awwwww. But sorry to crash your cuddle fest I'm now in the room and don't want to hear your mushy talk” Georgie sat down in front of us like a school kid in front of a teacher.
“Kids settle down” Mrs Green and a couple came into the room. Mrs Green introduced them to us as Mr and Mrs Devon.
“So what age range were you hoping for?” Mrs Green turned to them. The man shook his head.
“We were thinking about teenage years I think? Around 15 16 say?” He turned to his wife who nodded.
“Ok then. . .” Mrs Green reluctantly turned to us on the couch.
“Jake, Georgie, Lola, Felix can you come over please?” She called to us. We stood up and slowly paced over to them.
“Would you like to individually interview them or do them as a group?” Mrs Green asked them.
“Maybe individually if we may” The wife spoke up. Mrs Green nodded.
“Of course. Jake how about you go with them and you know where the office is don't you?” Jake nodded and silently lead them out of the room. We went back to the couch to wait.
“15 16. Really that's basically our ages!” Georgie exploded.
“Well I don't know about you Georgie but I'm 18 in 2 months and Lola's coming up for 17 in a few weeks” Felix told her. She raised her eyebrows.
“And you think I don't know that? My birthday is just a month after Lola's and then you can clear off when your 18” She slumped down on the couch, folding her arms.
“Lola? Can you come over now?” Mrs Green leads Jake back into the room as I stand up and head over to the door.
“They're nice” Jake whispered to me on his way past I looked back at him and past him Felix giving me a thumbs up. I mouth 'Help me' before being lead down a corridor to the office.
“Hey Lola” The man greets me.
“I'm Tom and this is Lottie” We shook hands.
“Well i'm Lola” I answered. They laughed.
“So you are 16 years old am I correct?” Lottie asks. I nod.
“I'm 17 in a couple of weeks” I told them they nodded.
“So you currently go to Auckland Grammar and you are in year 12” Tom says. I nod.
“So what are your hobbies Lola? I saw your bedroom door on the way in, it's really amazing” Lottie commented.
“Thank you. My friend Jemma helped me with the design. I love painting, drawing, writing, making movies. I would love to get into college to be a director some day.” I told them. They smiled.
“Well we have 2 little girls at home and we were thinking you would be a great role model for them” Lottie finishes.
“Thank you for speaking with us. We'll just interview the other girl now” Tom asks and I take that as my cue to leave. I stand up.
“Ok. Bye” And I walk back down the corridor to the tv room. I was bombarded with questions.
“What did they say?”
“Were they nice?”
“Are they friendly?”
“What did you say?”
“Did you ruin it?” I got caught off by this question. Looking over at Georgie who asked it I replied.
“I told them the truth. I displayed manners that my parents taught me. And they want you now" I told her. She grumbled and stood up, stalking over to the door.
*
They didn't want to see Felix so he was safe at least.
Around 20 minutes later Mrs Green and the couple come into the room.
"Kids! We are sadly going to have to say goodbye to one of our most great kids we have here today" Mrs Green looked sad as she looked down at a check that was handed to her by Mr Devon. Mrs Green paused before looking over to me. My heart dropped.
"Lola. You've been adopted"
