My Everything-Adopted by Ariana

Wake up,Sleeping Beauty

Piper's P.O.V

My nose twitched as I opened my eyes, one eye at a time. Once my eyes readjusted to my surroundings, I realized I was no longer in Ariana's car. Crap. What if she saw how ugly I was in the light and dumped me on the side of the road and somebody else kidnapped me?

"Ariana?". A few seconds passed until I heard soft taps on the chesnut wooden floors. I released a breath I was unaware that I was holding as I looked around for the source.

Instead of seeing Ariana's petite body at the doorframe, I saw a four legged creature that looked like a fluffy mop. The animal ran towards me and threw its two front legs on my lap requesting I pet it. That's when I realized it was a dog. I gave the peachy thing a couple of rubs on the head before I stood up. Great, now there is fur all over me. As I plucked each chocolate brown fur off of my pants, the large dog nearly knocked me over as it ran towards a figure I saw in the corner of my eye.

As I turned around, I saw Arianna...Well, part of her. The large dog was in her arms and it covered most of her upper body. They hugged for a minute or so before she released the dog. I observed how she stood in the door frame and gave me a slight smile before coming towards me.

"Im glad you're awake,Sleeping Beauty", she said as she plopped herself into the couch behind me. As if on cue, my cheeks turnt a slight shade of pink before I quietly took a seat next to her. I could'nt remember much but, all I know is that Arianna knows about those little monsters I had to deal with. Crap. At that second, a bunch of thoughts swarmed my head.

If she tells, those girls will kill you.

If she loves you enough, she would listen to you and not do anything.

If she loves you enough, she would confront those girls to protect you.

If she loves you enoug- Oh wait..No one likes you.

I sighed at my developing headache.Great. At least she has no clue about the torture I received in school. If I had no one to give me a reality check about being disliked, where would I be? Life is just a filler until a person dies, so why feel? That's when I remember how I cried in front of Ariana. Oh,God....She saw me feel sad. What was she doing to me?

"Hello, is anyone home?", Ariana asked as she snapped her fingers in front of my face.Nice going, Piper.

"Leave a message after the beep."

Ariana laughed before grabbing my wrist that was hidden under my now dirty sweater. My body tensed as she slightly squeezed the cuts I had before I sucked it up and placed a large smilebon my face. She pulled me up out of my seat and indicated for me to follow her. I trailed behind her as she darted up the steps.

Once I was up the stairs, I followed Ariana to a door that was closest to the west side of the house. That's when I finally realized she was trying to show me my room. Ariana gave me her signature laugh as I gasped. She slowly turned the doorknob all the way and before I knew it, I was inside my new room.

My new room was colossal! The walls were painted a light shade of blue that complimented the white wooden bed frame. Don't even get me started on the bed! It was a huge upgrade from the tiny bed I had at Girls United! It was fit for a queen. The walls were filled in quotes that I would probably read before I went to bed tonight. I can't believe Ariana would do all of this, just for me!

"It's...... WONDERFUL...FANTASTIC..THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU!", I pratically screamed as I went on my tippy-toes to hug Ariana's neck. I felt hair hands that were slightly bigger than mine wrap around just above my hips.

After about three minutes, I pulled away and rubbed my arm. It still kinda hurted from when Ariana squeezed it...Not to mention I still smelt like a baby squirrel.

" I think I should take a shower now . Being dirty feels weird"

"Sure, Piper. Your bathroom is right next to your desk. Before you shower, just leave your dirty clothes on your bed so I can wash them . Clean towels are in the towel rack behind the door. "

I smiled and nodded as I made my way to the bathroom door . I still could'nt believe that just a few hours ago, I was stuck in an orphanage full of people I hate, small beds and no privacy. Now, I'm practically living in a castle. Before I entered the bathroom to wash away this gross mud and gunk, I faced Ariana, who still stood by my bedroom door.

"Ariana?"

"Yes, Piper?"

"Thanks....for everything", and with that, I waltzed into the bathroom.

❤

Best.Shower.Ever. My bathroom was just the right size for me. Not too big and, not too small. The walls were painted coral pink and, the tiles were marshmellow white. I should know, I have been in this bathroom for at least thirty minutes! My eyes searched the selection of towels Ariana packed on the door. All of the towels were brightly colored except the black. I selected the neon green towel and wrapped it around my small body before exiting the bathroom.

My body froze as I spotted Ariana just exiting my closet. I jerked my arms to behind my back, conscious of the cuts that covered them like fresh snow on a cold day. I squeezed my arms to my sides to secure my towel and prayed that Ariana would not see the few cuts I had on my thighs. Seeing how awkward this is, Ariana finally spoke.

"Sorry Hun, just thought I could help you unpack and try to find you an outfit for a restaurant I thought we could go to..."

"Oh, that's cool... ", I replied as I twiddled my thumbs.

" Yeah, you don't have much clothes.. Maybe we can go shopping tomorrow?",Ariana asked. I saw the small drop of hope in her eyes as she stared into my brown eyes. I replied with a nod as she showed me her pearly whites. I hated clothing shopping but, whatever made her happy.p, I guess. I watched as she stared at me like a happy mother. Her eyes traced my legs that made a little puddle from the water before darting back up to my face and exiting.

After Ariana left, I quickly threw on a pair of old blue jeans and a white plain t-shirt. I hope we aren't going anywhere fancy. My hair remained in a ponytail I created before I went into the shower. My feet slid into my old and dirty black converse. Once I decided I was decent looking enough, I walked down the stairs to see Ariana on her iPhone.

"That was fast."

"Yeah I dress pretty fas-"

" We need to talk ", Ariana said in a serious tone of voice.

Fantastic.
