Second Chance (Barry Kerch adoption) (Shinedown romance)

Chapter 2: Finding My Family Part 1

(I honestly didn't think I got any reads until I posted my first chapter again after editing it so thank you to all my readers.)

'I told my "master" that I needed a pregnancy test. He went to the store and bought me one. The results of the test shocked me I am...'

I'm pregnant. That bastard got me pregnant at 12 years old, and now is going to take me back to the orphanage! I call my "master" back in and throw the test at him. He picks it up, smiling. Then he begins to pack my bags after getting all of my belongings from the garden outdoors where he dumped them, dragging me to the car as we begin our way back to the orphanage. Once we get there the adoption woman came out asking "Why did you bring Cora back?" My "master" responded with, "My wife and I decided we wanted to try for our own and didn't see fit to have another child in the home while we try for children." That lying bastard! I was pulled inside when he started to drive off. Once inside, I broke down the adoption lady put her arm around me saying it is hard to go through adoption but I will find a family. I ask her "But what about my baby? It's father adopted me so he could impregnate me. He wasn't married, he just wanted to spread his seed around the world. He is moving so he can do it." The adoption lady looked at me with sad eyes. She got up and called the police, telling me to go lay down. I follow her order taking my bags with me. Once I follow the stairway to my room I lay down on my bed thinking about my options.
I am only 12 years old I can't do this. I can't raise a child by myself I am a child myself. The adoption lady came through the door saying, "I found someone else that wants to adopt you and he knows about your baby. He said he will support you in any decision that you make."
I say, "Okay." and she leaves. I decide to sleep, only to be woken up the next day by the adoption lady coming in saying that the man is here and he brought his friends too. I get up, grabbing my iPod plug and iPod, then plug it in turning on Second Chance while getting ready. As I go to walk down to the bottom floor, I notice that Eric Bass is standing at my door smirking at me because he had seen me lip singing to one of their songs.

(Okay so I know I haven't been doing the conversation like I used to I am going to post one way of how I normally post conversations and then the way I normally put them let me know which way you like better)

"Hey, so you must be Cora .I'm Eric. Nice to meet you."
"Um, hi, yeah, I'm Cora. You can call me Cor or Cors."
"Okay, Cors, so we all agreed to interview you individualy to decide whether or not to adopt you if that is alright."
"Sure, yeah, that's fine."
"Okay, well, for starters the adoption lady told us that you were adopted then brought back within a few days. Why were you brought back?"
"Um, the guy that adopted me, he was a bastard and decided to adopt me so I would have his kid. Then once he adopted me he raped me making me pregnant. Once I told him, he brought me back hence the reason we are here now."
"Oh, wow, sorry kid. How old are you? The adoption lady didn't tell us anything but your name and that the last person to adopt you brought you back."
"I'm 12 about to turn 13 in October."
"You're right, he was a bastard. He won't get away with this. What's your favorite color?"
"Purple."
"Cool. It's mine too! What are your hobbies?"
"I play bass, drums, guitar, violin, trumpet, saxophone, I can sing and do screamo music, I love to exercise draw and paint."
"What age were you put in here?"
"I was set on the steps outside one night by my mom who left this letter and those drum sticks in my car seat."

Eric got up asking if he could take the drum sticks to Barry downstairs. I said sure and waited for him to come back up. I had time to think before he came back up. What if they were like the other guy? What if they adopted me and decided they didn't want me anymore? I wouldn't be able to handle it if my favorite band in the world decided that I wasn't enough and sent me back.

Eric's POV

Those were Barry's first set of drum sticks. He said that when he came home from tour that they were missing but his ex wife had a note saying that she was dying so the doctors were giving her a c-section so that their daughter could live and have a life. She also said that their daughter would have his drum sticks, and that's how he would know that it was her. He has been searching for her for 12 years and is just now finding her. I walk down the stairs with them in my hands and walk up to Barry, handing them to Barry he stares at them then asks, "Where did you get these? They went missing 12 years ago. They were suppose to be with my daughter." I told him that those and a note was setting in Cora's car seat when she was dropped off. He asked the adoption lady if she could see the original letter that was left in Cora's carseat.

She went and got the letter handing it to Barry, as he finished reading the letter, he whispered he has finally found his baby girl that Lora put up for adoption because he was still on tour with us when she had to have her c-section to save Cora. He had searched for so long, he couldn't believe he had found her. He started to cry when we heard a gasp, but it didn't come from any of us, it was Cora's gasp. We turned to her while Barry stepped away from us, towards her. But, before he could get to her, she ran back upstairs, Barry following shortly behind her. Once they were out of ear shot Zach said, "Well, that was weird." Brent smacked him upside his head. He really doesn't understand when not to say something.
