Adopted By Why Don't We Book 1

Chapter 21

We sat down on the couch in laughter. "You seriously pulled a prank on the adopted group of guys, I should've known" Pony said chuckling. "What can I say" I said and Pony put his right arm around my neck.

"They say don't let them in
Close your eyes and clear your thoughts again
When I'm all alone, they show up on their own
Cause inner demons fight their battles with fire
Inner demons don't play by the rules
They say "Just push them down, just fight them harder
Why would you give up on it so soon?"

So angels, angels please just keep on fighting
Angels don't give up on me today
The demons they are there; they keep on fighting
Cause inner demons just won't go away
So angels please, hear my prayer
Life is pain, lifes not fair
So angels please; please stay here
Take the pain; take the fear

They say it won't be hard; they can't see the battles in my heart
But when I turn away
The demons seem to stay
Cause inner demons don't play well with angels
They cheat and lie and steal and break and bruise
Angels please protect me from these rebels
This is a battle I don't want to lose

So angels, angels please just keep on fighting
Angels don't give up on me today
Cause the demons they are there; they keep on fighting
Cause inner demons just won't go away

Angels, angels please keep on fighting
Angels don't give up on me today
Cause the demons; they are there
They keep on fighting
Inner demons just won't go away

So angels please, hear my prayer
Life is pain; life's not fair
So angels please; please stay here
Take the pain; take the fear"

I finish sing the song softly and when I looked at Ponyboy he was sound asleep on my shoulder. I smiled and slowly got his head off my shoulder and on the couch. I stood up and came into the kitchen.

I seen the dirty dishes in the sink and shook my head. I turned on the warm water and put soap into the water as it came into the sink.

I turned it off moments later and started washing the dishes and put them in the other side of the sink.

2 hours later

I put away the last dish as I heard the door open then close. I grabbed the dry tea towel and walked into the room drying off my hands. I looked at the people at the door and froze.
