Foster Care

Wait..

K a y c e e ' s  p o v

I sat down on the cold white bar stool..just looking around at everyone in disbelief. 13 years of hell..and I think this is the best night I've had ever since that day. I got up from the chair and walked over to the drink table

"What drink are you gonna make" I heard a familiar voice say

I turned around to see it was Sean..

"Probably a Shirley Temple" I said looking around

"I don't think there's any Grenadine" He said looking around the other side of the table

"Found it" I said picking up the glass

"Here's a ginger ale" He said handing me the cold drink

"You want one?" I asked pouring ginger ale into the glass

"Sure" He said grabbing another ginger ale

"Where did you learn to do that?" He said as I spun the bottle between my fingers like a baton 

"I've been to many parties with a lot of drunk adults.. so I spent a lot of time befriending the bartenders..who usually let me sit behind the counter so with that I had a lot of time on my hands so I just learned how to do random things with empty bottles..like twirl them, juggle them stuff like that" I said handing him his drink

"That's pretty cool" he said reaching for the drink

My hand was still on the glass as I felt his warm hand land on top of mine..I quickly slid my hand from underneath his and drank my Shirley Temple..honestly trying my best to keep in my laughter. I could see he was too

It's about 11 pm right now and everyone had just left except Sean,Mack, and I. Bailey insisted that I kept the dress...I didn't want her to do that but after a lot of playful yelling I finally agreed.

"Ok the janitor can take it from here" Sean said grabbing his keys

"Alright" I said putting my hair up

I could tell that Mack had gotten use to Sean being near us because she wasn't as giddy as she was when she got a picture with him at the grove. I push open the large glass doors and felt the cold air rush over my skin. I was still in disbelief of what just happened..it was unreal to me that people I've known for like a day threw me a sweet sixteen.

We pull onto our street to see at least 8 police cars with their red and blue flashing

"Oh dear..there at the bentley's" Sean said  pulling into his drive way

"Why is their car in the drive way..ohh" I asked but suddenly figured it out in my head

I tell Sean stay in the car while Mack and I go see what's going on because I don't want him to say anything stupid and get taken to Juvie 

"Excuse me officer..this is our foster parents house..what's going on?" I asked 

"We have the children" The officer yelled to the others

"Hey guys would you mind answering a few questions?" The other officer asked

"Yeah just let me tell my neighbor-"  I tried to say

"Oh has he lived here long?" The officer asked

 "Yeah" I answered

"Can you go get him and meet me in the back of my unit?" He asked pointing to the car beside him
