Indies POV
I either don't remember or don't want to remember what happened next. I was in complete and total shock about what just happened. My mom and sister are dead. Two complete strangers just took me in. I have no idea where I am staying for the next 2 months! (usually not the way adoption and shitakke works, but for the sake of the story, no hate please!) Only when I feel hands gently picking me up bridal style out of the car do I open my eyes. I hear a door open, and I am set down on a couch, and the world fades away once more.
Ross's POV
When Adam walked into the office today with a little girl, I had no idea what was going on. She was walking two steps behind him, and looked terrified.
I notice that I am not the only to see her. Jess and Shelby are in the corner, whispering, and looking, whispering, and looking. Barney and Max exchange glances, and everything kind of slowed down, coming to a stop. To my left, I hear Jess take in a deep breath, and say, "Adam, who is this?" The girl looks up, and before Adam can answer, she says, stuttering, " I-I'm Independence." "Where are you're parents, sweetie?" Shelby says, voice sugary sweet and warm. She bursts out crying. Adam waves us all over as she runs to the bathroom sobbing. And told us her story.
Jess's POV
No body was prepeared to hear what came next. If this girl had the courage to go through all that crap, then I should have to courage to talk to her. I knock on the bathroom door.
