Adoption

Chapter 12

*Scarlet's POV*

Seth and I sat at the table, eating cereal quietly. I had only taken a few bites.

"Scar?"

I looked up at him. "Hmm?"

"Please eat more. Please?" He asked quietly, with a hint of desperation in his voice. I nodded and took another small bite. He smiled at me.

We were home alone. Robert had left a note saying he'd be back in a few minutes. That was half an hour ago.

We heard the sound of a car pull into the driveway. "Robert's home," I exclaimed happily. Seth nodded.

"Kids I'm home," Robert said as he walked in the door.

"Hey Rob," Seth said.

"Hi," I replied, dumping the rest of my soggy cereal and putting my bowl in the sink.

"I got something for you Scarlet," Robert said.

"What?" I asked happily. He handed me a box. There was an IPhone 5S inside. I gasped. "Thank you Robert!"

"You're welcome." I smiled brightly and gave him a quick hug. "oh, you don't have to call me by my whole name. You can call me Rob."

"But isn't that bad?"

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"I learned that it was rude..."

"No Scarlet, it's okay."

"I think I'm still gonna call you Robert," I stated. Robert and Seth chuckled.

"I got you that so next time you can call me, Seth, or more importantly, the police," Robert stated. "Just have Seth log you into his account, seeing you like the same things. If that's okay with Seth," Robert looked to Seth.

"Of course that's okay," Seth said, smiling at him, than me. I smiled back.

*Seth's POV*

That reminded me, I had gotten Scar a phone case and headphones, knowing Rob was gonna get her a phone sooner or later. Plus I knew he was gonna get her an iPhone 5 or something better. So I bought three kinds of the same case.

"I'll be right back!" I said, jumping up from the table and running to my room. I went to my closet and grabbed the bag that contained the stuff I got for her. I grabbed the iPhone 5S case and the headphones.

The case was just a simple case with the Sleeping With Sirens logo. The headphones were just black earbuds.

I ran back out. "I got these for you," I said to her.

"Awe, Seth thank you! I love them!" She pulled me into a hug. I hugged back.

Then Robert said something that ruined everything. "Marie and Sam are moving in next week."
