*the morning of the adoption*

Emalines POV

I had a therapy appointment with Ms. Orion today, but in the mornings I had to go talk with Ms. Sam. Walking to her office felt weird, and surely enough when I got there she wasn't there. It sometimes worries me when she's not there cause it means there's an emergency or someone was getting adopted, which in my case is still an emergency. I could potentially be losing someone.

I had no other choice than to continue on with my day. I walked back to the house and Got ready. I got dressed in High wasted mom  jeans, a white sweater, and black keds.

I walked downstairs grabbing my headphones that were on the coffee table. I walked over to the kitchen putting a bagel in the toaster and going to the medicine cabinet, I took all my medicine and drank a glass of water. I ate my breakfast alone while all the other girls of the house were probably at their own groups or doing whatever they want.

After waiting about an hour of hanging around and doing some homework Ms. Orion Walked in With groceries. We put them away, in their spots and walked out the door making small talk. I always felt a little bad cause I wasn't always on top of the conversations, but today I was in a strange funk.

Soon she caught on to my funk. "what's up buttercup?"

"I feel strange, I'm not sure why though." I willingly confessed.

"hmm, will your funk be fixed by a walk around Birkdale and some Kilwins?" She pondered.

"Well, We should find out, huh!" I Insisted.

We drove to the small town listening to music which mainly consists of the Lumineers, The 1975, Fleet Foxes and some other artists. Soon enough we were at Birkdale and hopping out of the car. We walked next to each other shuddering every once in a while at the cold weather that seemed to be smacking us in the wind. Even my jacket couldn't keep me warm enough.

We walked into Kilwins, I ordered two chocolate strawberries and a hot chocolate. Ms. Orion got a blueberry scone and a hot coffee. We sat inside in the warm to keep from freezing.

"Where was Ms. Sam this morning?" I asked, not being able to hold it in anymore.

"Some kids are getting adopted, I'm not sure who though" She quickly answered, failing to make eye contact with me.

"Oh" was all I could force out.

After we finished eating we walked for a few more hours till we were done and tired. We went back to the homes and went to the group room. After group went on for two hours it was about seven. It was winter time and only six more days till Christmas, so I took the opportunity to go walk and look at the lights.

As I was walking I was joined by Ms. Orion. She seemed tense and distant. I was starting to get worried, I just wanted to know what was going on. Soon she spoke up.

"Wanna go for a drive and we can see more lights?"

"Um Sure, just let me grab my phone and I want to grab a blanket."

"Okay meet me in the (Hallway) big black car."

"Okay" I yelled going back to grab my things.

Soon we were both in the car and she had Christmas music playing along with hot chocolate.

we had been driving for a while when ms. orion finally broke the silence, "emily how would you feel about getting adopted?"

i hesitated to answer, worried of making her mad and I just really didn't know the answer myself. i looked over at her and she had a tight grip on the wheel. "no", was the only thing i said. i know what was happening. "i'm not going anywhere, take me back to the home. now!" i started raising my voice with panic and anger. most kids are told about someone wanting to adopt. why wasn't i told anything?

she kept trying to reason with me, about how great the men are and how wyatt is there too. i soon cut it all off and focused on the christmas music and my breathing, quickly falling asleep.

wyatt, jared and i were sitting at the table talking about how he wants to do his room. "dammit, i forgot all my comic books back at the home" wyatt spoke very annoyed, slamming down his fork. "hey, it's okay we can go get them tomorrow-" "-no i can't because all the other boys are going to take them all!" he shouted. "would you like to go call ms. sam and ask her to grab them for you?" jared compromised. it was obvious wyatt was unsatisfied and  just picked himself up from the chair and trudged up the stairs.

i went to go check on emaline to see if she was up and wanted to come eat. i was walking up the stairs and into my room on my bed. she still hadn't moved. i went to go ask wyatt about what ms. sam said but stubbed my toe on the side of my dresser. "asdgkh god dammit" i whisper shouted. i quickly turned around to make sure i hadn't woken emaline up and walked out the room.

wyatt and i talked for a little more while jared did dishes downstairs. wyatt was mid sentence talking about his brother when he abruptly stopped. "listen" i didn't know what he was talking about until i heard jared talking.

i was doing the dishes while jensen had went upstairs. i turned on the tv for some background noise.  the dishes were all put away and i grabbed a beer to go watch football. out of the corner of my eye i saw emaline walking down the stairs. "hey em, do you want some dinner? i can warm it up?" she just kept walking down the stairs, tear stained cheeks and blood shot eyes. she kept walking and i knew something was off. she walked towards the door and i stood up. she reached for the door nob and turned it but no prevail, it was locked. " what are you doing?"

"unlock the door please, i want to go home."

"em, you are home"

jensen came walking down the stairs with wyatt. jensen placed his hand on her shoulder but she shrugged it away and looked at wyatt turning back to the door and jiggling the nob, tears slowly starting to fall from her face. she started kicking the door until jensen hugged her from behind, getting her to stop. wyatt walked up to her and tried to calm her as well, while i felt stood and felt scared for the little girl.
