The Fun In Life : Adopted by Corey Scherer

First Night Back

It's around midnight and everybody is getting ready for bed. We've been having so much fun ever since the video, it's crazy. I even got to be in everyone's outro! I've learned so much about them already. Like Colby likes to climbs the pillars outside (but then gets stuck), Corey and Devyn always have a late night snack at one in the morning, everything in the prank wars, and their trip to New Zealand for TFIL! I also thought up of a few of my own pranks to pull on the house. Everyone-besides Corey, Devyn, and I- were tired so they went up for bed.

"Aren't you tired?" Corey asks me as brand Devyn finish up their snack. I just shrug.

"Not really." I say truthfully. It wasn't long until they went up for bed either. I go up to my room. It's still so empty. It's freaking my out. I decided to watch some videos for a bit. A couple hours in and I binge watched all of their prank wars videos, and a TFIL where they broke into an abandoned mall.

Soon enough, I got tired of the and checked the time, 2:58 a.m.. Hm. I quietly grab my penny board and sneak out of my room. I walk down the stairs with my phone, earbuds, and board, and walk out of the house and through the gates. I start skating, finding my way around easily. I skate towards the orphanage (it's about fifteen minutes away). Once I got there I head up to my old room and sit on the bed. I look over at Quill and Stacey.

"You two don't seem very happy to see me." I joke. They both wake up in fright. "It's okay." I tell them, "it's just me." I explain with a small smile. They looked surprised-yet happy-to see me. They both rush over to me and give me a hug.

"So, what's it like so far?" Quill asked me, curiosity laced in her voice.

"It's been..." I want to lie so I don't come off as bitchy. "Alright." I shrugged.

"Be on the look out for his new video tomorrow." I wink to her. Her smile increases,

"No way!" She shrieks. I was afraid she'd wake up anybody else in the house. I knew i was right by the know at the door. It slowly opened to reveal two small, yawning girls. I had to look closer to notice it was Sarah and Chloe.

"Rory?" Sarah mumbled while rubbing her eyes. I picked her up and sat her on my lap and said,

"Yep. I'm here for a while."

"I thought you got to go with a nice family." She sighs as she cuddles further into my chest. I mentally awe. Chloe sits up on the bed and I began to talk the night away about what's been going on so far. As I talk and tell stories they slowly began to fall asleep. Once Chloe and Sarah are passed out and Quill and Stacey start drifting I get up and pick up Chloe and take her and Sarah to their room. I walk back and tucked Quill and Stacey back into their beds and walk out. It was only around 4:30 so I decide to walk around downtown for a while. I saw few cars pass by. Oddly I feel at home when I'm on the streets late at night, but tonight was different. I feel slightly off.

"Hey kid, want to party?" Some creepy guy said to me as he walked up with a bag filled with some white powder. Crack.

"No thanks. I really don't see the point in throwing my life away thanks to some drug I got pressured into." I shook my head as I kept walking.

"What ever fatty." He scoffs. I stop dead in my tracks and look down to myself. He's so right. I've never met him, his words shouldn't hurt-but still they're burning into my skin.

"Fuck you." My voice wavers as tears prick in my eyes. I put my penny board on the ground and began to push off. I wipe the tears out of my eyes. I skated until I could see the sun start to rise. I sighed as I headed back to the house. When I got inside I figured everyone was still asleep so I decided to play some game for a while.

"Hey Rory." Elton said as he walked down the stairs. He looked a little surprised to see me.

"Hi Elton. " I smile at him, putting my controller down.

"You're up early." He said as he walked into the kitchen. I got up from the couch and walked into the kitchen too. I just shrug. I don't really know how to respond to that. "So, what do you want for breakfast?" He asked me, looking into the fridge.

"Nothing. I don't really eat in the mornings." I told him truthfully. He looks up at me with a confused glance, but then shrugs it off and starts making his own breakfast. It smelled so good I had to leave the kitchen. As I got to the main hallway I saw Sam start to walk down the stairs.

"Hey Sam." I smiled as I began to walk up the stairs.

"How long have you been up?" He asked, looking up at me since I was a couple stairs up from him.

"I don't know. Just a little bit." I lie. He nods and I walk up to my room.

"Hm. What to do." I said to myself out loud.

"Rory time to wake up-oh. Hey." Corey said as he walked into my room, looking a bit surprised by me being up.

"Guess you're a little late." I laugh. "So what's the plans for today?" I ask him, going over to my closet to see my clothes for today.

"I was thinking we'd ask what you want to do after you get ready and stuff." He shrugs. I told him alright and began to get ready for the day.
