Chapter 4

It was decided that they would adopt us Zayn went out to make some calls the first was to their managers to let them know what is happening and also so they can get everything in motion all the legal stuff and getting the police to come around so we can report them to the police. This is the part I am most scared about having to say it out loud, I feel like if I say it, it will make everything seem so damn real, it will mean admit that I was too weak to stand up for myself and get out of there all this time I thought I was strong but in reality I’m not I was too weak to run.  I always said if something had happened to Amelia that I would get us out of there but in reality I will always end up back there no matter what they did to me I always went back because living on the street can be incredibly difficult especially in the winter it is too cold especially with Amelia she would often get sick.

“So what do you think Kali” Perrie says snapping me from my thoughts I guess they are going to make it a common think calling me Kali I don’t mind really. I realize that Zayn is back in the room Milly has climbed onto his lap again

“I ummm I’m sorry what was the question?” I ask feeling a little confused.

“I was just saying that we can go shopping get new furniture clothes you guys can decorate your rooms as you like, we can get toys for AJ as well. Kali did you guys want your own rooms or share?” she says me and Milly have always shared a room she used to have the cot mattress on the floor with a blanket I had well the floor, I don’t know how she will go in a separate room but maybe it is something she will have to get used to it. I think it will be best because the next few months are going to be hard and emotional and I don’t need her seeing that.

“I uhh think it will be best if we have separate rooms.” I see a bit of confusion fear and hurt flash through Milly’s eyes.

“Milly moo don’t worry I’m sure we will be right next door to each other and if you need me I’ll be right there I just thought if you have your own rom you can decorate it anyway you like kid. I say to her this seems to make her happy again I let out a little sigh of happiness and relief.

“Sounds like a plan how about we go pick put your new rooms” Zayn says I nod in agreement a little excited by the concept of my own space. Everyone gets of the bed and I slowly stand up but not having the strength to stay up so I sit again Perrie and Milly have already left the room but Zayn was at the door and looked back at me I give an apologetic smile.

“I’ll go get Perrie if you like?” he says his eyes look a little sad he turns around to get Perrie.

“wait Zayn is it ok if you help me walk” I all the sudden say I didn’t even think it first it just came out but I’m scared if I back out I will upset him more and he will start to be resentful of me. I know I can trust him but I guess I will always be scared of men that is just the reality of it.

“yea umm of course I can” he seems a little unsure of my request but comes to my side and slowly helps me up I place my good arm around his shoulder and he holds around my waist but a bit higher which I am thankful for it is still uncomfortable and a little scary but I need to teach myself not to freak I need to learn that he is a safe person.it is a little uncomfortable because I am so short. I put most my weight on him and we walk down the hall a bit I hear Amelia down a bit I just follow the voices. We get to an open door and I see a room that is painted pink with Grey carpet I see Milly and Perrie holding hands spinning in a circle the room is large I see another open door and see a bathroom in there and on the other wall there is a big bay window with pink and gray cushions on the seat you can see the city. I look back at the two in the middle of the room they are looking at me and Zayn Perrie looks really happy as does Milly but I think they both have different reasons of the smile. Milly because she loves the room already even though there is nothing really in here and Perrie she looks happy and proud because I am starting to put trust in Zayn.
