Adopted By Who?

Taken

"I've been informed that your guardian wants to give you back to the orphanage."

My heart stopped. My world stopped. I couldn't breathe. It felt like I was drowning. I shook my head, "N-No. He wouldn't d-do that. He loves m-me."

"Kay, who's at the door," Dad asked from the living room.

I looked at the lady, "Uh, y-you can come i-in."

She nodded and stepped inside. By now there was a steady stream of tears flowing down my cheeks. How could Dad do this? Do the guys know about this? If they do, how could they let him do this? And the girls? Did they let this happen, too? Did they even love me? Obviously not.

I walked into the living room and stared directly at Dad, I mean Tony, "She said you want to give me back. Thanks for lying to me." I ran to my room and slammed the door shut.

There was a knock on my door, "Go away."

"Kaylen, come on. You know I would never do that."

I stomped to my door and threw it open, "If you wouldn't do this, why is it happening?!"

"I don't know. I swear on my life I, the guys or the girls didn't do this. There's some mistake. I'll figure it out. You're not going anywhere. I love you so much."

I let my tears fall, "I'm so confused."

He hugged me, "It'll be okay. I'm not letting them take you."

"No! Dad! You promised!"

Two guys from the orphanage were dragging me out of our house. Dad wasn't doing anything. He was the only one home. He should be trying to get to me. But he was just standing there frozen.

I was blinded by my tears, "Dad! Do something! Please! You promised they weren't going to take me!"

He was still unresponsive. That pissed me off. This whole situation pissed me off.

"You know what?! Fuck you! I hate you!"

They finally got me out of the house and threw me into the car. They got the last of my stuff and put it in the trunk. I grabbed my phone and plugged my ear buds in. I turned on Feels Like Forever by Of Mice & Men.

When we got to the orphanage they took my stuff to my old room. The kids who used to tease me stared at me and started laughing.

One of them came up to me, "They couldn't even keep you for a year!"

I punched him in the jaw. Fuck that shit. I hate everything. I want to die.

I ran up to my room and slammed it and locked it. I punched the wall and threw myself on the bed. I was having a fit.

-possibly triggering-

Then I had a thought.

You should find a razor blade. It would fix everything for a little while.

But Vic would be so disappointed in me.

Vic obviously doesn't care anymore.

That is true. If it weren't I wouldn't be here.

There you go. Now go find one.

Okay...wait. Fuck. No!

I found my phone and called the only person who could help me.

"Hey girly."

"Kellin...t-they gave me b-back to the orphanage."

"What?! There's no way! There must be some mistake."

I sniffled, "No. Da- Tony said he wouldn't let it happen and he did. He just fucking stood there while they took me."

Kellin sighed, "I'll talk to one of them, okay?"

I wiped my eyes, "O-Okay. Sorry if I'm being a bother."

Kellin scoffed, "You're not a bother. You're basically my second daughter-slash-best-friend. I'll talk to you when I get off of the phone with one of the guys. I love you."

"I love you, too Kells."

Kellin's POV (Oooh that's new)

I ended the call with Kaylen. What the actual fuck is wrong with Tony? He just stood there? If anyone tried to take Copeland I would fucking kill them. How can you just stand there?!

I called Tony. He didn't answer, I didn't expect him to. So I tried Mike; no answer. Jaime; no answer. I tried Vic, he actually answered.

"Hey Kellin, what's up?" He asked happily.

"What the fuck?! You're niece gets taken and you're all happy?!" I was slightly pissed off. Okay, I was really pissed off.

"Wait, what?! Kaylen was taken?! Where is she?!" All cheeriness from his voice was gone.

"She was taken back to the orphanage. Apparently Tony didn't want her."

"What?! No. Tony said he fixed that problem a few days ago!"

"What do you mean?"

"A chick came to the house the other day saying she got a call that we wanted to give Kaylen back. Tony said he got it all sorted out because none of us fucking called."

"Well Kaylen just called me. You guys better fix this."

He sighed, "Kells, she probably hates us now."

"Still. Fix it." I hung up.

Then I called Kaylen. She answered on the first ring, "Kellin, did you talk to D- fuck. Did you talk to Tony?"

"No, but I talked to Vic. He's going to try to fix it because they didn't do this."

"You really believed them," she asked, disbelief in her voice.

"I want to believe them, yes."

Tony's POV

What the fuck just happened? My daughter was just taken away from me and I didn't do shit about it.

Jaime and Mike were home and already knew. Vic threw the door open, "What the fuck Tony?!"

I cringed, I already feel like the world's biggest piece of shit.

"How did you even know," Jaime asked.

"Kellin called me after Kaylen called him. What the fuck? You just let them take her?!"

I hadn't said a word. I was still in shock. She was gone. My daughter was gone and it's all my fault. I was still in shock and Vic being pissed doesn't help. Even though he's short as hell, when he's mad he's super intimidating.

This isn't happening. This is all a dream. I'm going to wake up soon and she'll be in her room asleep. She'll still be here making me laugh all the time. She'll have her friends over after school. It'll all be back to normal. I just have to wake up.

I haven't woken up yet.

I went to sleep wishing I still had my Baby Turtle.

A/N: Don't hate me!!
