The ride back was non-stop of Claire babbling of how these people are amazing and how the newest member of the orphanage(Zaya) is doing. I just want to listen to music, but my phone being what looks like a GPS, all it can do is text and call.

"Simone?" Claire says as we pull up to the orphanage. She waves a small hand in my face, her charm bracelet rattling.

"Yeah, sorry what?" I say an shake out whatever it was I was just thinking.

"Do you want to show them around, or should I?" She asks getting out of the van.

"You definitely can." I say and don't second guess it. I'm not showing around this group of "young people".

'Well, then can you help Theo with the younger kids get ready for school?" She asks walking to the front door and opening it, to reveal screaming and shouting.

I walk in after her, and all the kids under the age of five rush to my sides and pull me every which way. They scream something at me "Can you make me breakfast?" Little Georgie pulls on my hoodie, while Molly shouts "Will is being mean!" And making a pouty face. 

All their screams are giving me a headache. I only like one kid in here, and that's Jenna. Jenna's only four, she has olive toned skin and dark brown hair. She always has a look of confusion on her face, like she's a lost puppy. She reminds me of little me. Not really being a problem, just sitting back and watching.

"Theo? Where are you?" I scream over top of all the little kids voices.

"Simone? In here!" I hear a voice yell from the kitchen. I walk through the hallway over some toys and some kids just laying on the ground passed out or balling their eyes out.

After I make my way across the hallway and into the kitchen I see about twenty kids roaming around and just sitting at the large dinning table, eating or drinking something. "Theo?" I question, not seeing him anywhere.

A head pops up from the other side of the table, and as you may have guessed it's Theo. His glasses on the bridge of his nose. "Oh thank god you're here! I thought you would've run away or something." He says with a big smile on his face.

"Run away?" I ask while furrowing my eyebrows. And he nods making his glasses bounce up and down.

"Yeah, since you're getting adopted." He says and stands up, carrying a broken glass and a washcloth.

"So it's true?" I murmur to myself and apparently Theo heard me because he's smiling.

"Big day!" He says and drops the broken pieces of glass in the trash can.

"Have the people come yet? When are they gonna come? Do I need to look presentable? Who are they? Are they ratchet? Oh, please don't tell me they're ratchet!" I ask and he looks at me with one eyebrow raised.

"Honey, does it look like I know that stuff? No, I'm just the nanny." He says and flings the washcloth into the sink. He grabs a bunch of cups from the counter and lines them in the dishwasher.

"Fine. Then who does?" I ask crossing my arms across my chest.

"The person who does the papers and stuff." He says and takes out pieces of cut up fruit out of the fridge and lays it on the table.

"Well that helps." I say and he smirks, heading back to the fridge.

"Toss me a bottle will you?" I ask and he throws a water bottle to my left side, I wrap my right arm around my back and catch it behind my back. I giggle a little bit and so does Theo.

"Well at least we know she's stable." I hear a British voice say from behind me. I turn around 180 degrees and stop at the sight of Claire and five boys.
