Another One of those Adopted Stories

Chapter 3 On my way home

I looked at Arnold for a second wondering why he was there then it hit me, I only had one interview today. "So are you ready?" He asked me in a dad like tone, one that I longed for years.
"Y-yeah." I answered trying to hold back the tears. He looked at me concerned.
"Are you ok?" He asked walking in the room to grab my duffle bag.
I nodded, "Yeah just a little overwhelmed." I said grabbing the laptop bag. We walked down the stairs together, then I saw Ms.Jackson tearing up. I looked up at my new father and he nodded. I handed him my laptop then ran towards Ms.Jackson and hugged her. She was the closest thing to a friend and family I had.
"I'm gonna miss you Cheyenne." She sobbed.
"I know, but we'll keep in touch. Ok?" I said hoping for a compromise.
     "Ok. Just don't forget me."
      "Now why would I go and do that?" I asked.
      "I don't know, I just felt you would." She said finally letting me out of her hold. "I think you should go." She said a bit quieter.
   "Alright." I said turning to see Ms.Blackfoot staring me down. I walked past her to my new dad. "Ok I think I'm ready." He just nodded as we walked into thousands of camera flashes. My anxiety started to rise a little, I looked over to Arnold trying to signal him.
               "Is this a public stunt Mr.Schwarzenegger?"
      "Why did you choose this child?"
      "How does she feel about this?" My breathing started to feel constricted as all of these different questions from reporters went by. "What are five things I can see?" Arnold, camera shutters, reporters, Arnold's Hummer, and the sky. "What are four things I can hear?" Arnold asking me if I'm ok, the reporters and their questions, the idling of Arnold's Hummer, and the shutters of cameras. "What are three things you can taste?" My tears, the rain that has just started, and the little bit of oxygen that is flowing in and out of my mouth. "What are two things you can touch?" Arnold and the ground. "What is one thing you can smell?" The newly wet road. Usually this works, but my vision slowly started to turn black signaling it didn't. I started to fall but then I felt a strong pair of arms enclose my small frame. I looked up to barely see Arnold's face in a concerned expression. My vision slowly started to come back while I was looking in Arnold's eyes, then I realized that he was holding me bridal style.
"I-I think I'm ok now." I said trying to get him to put me down.
"Well you're not leaving my arms till we get to the car." He said quietly so the reporters didn't hear. I just simply complied. He was miraculously holding all of my stuff and me at the same time. He walked a few more steps to the Hummer, he finally put me down so I could open the door and get in. As I got in a saw two people in the front seats, the chaffer and his wife. When Arnold finished putting what little stuff I had in the back he got in on the other side of me. "Drive." He said to the driver and with that we were off.
