My mistake

Chapter 3

Sophia's POV:
Yesterday was hectic. I had the weirdest dream last night. I dreamt that I was with the guys from yesterday and liked them. That then turned into something I don't want to happen until I'm ready and willing. Sex. Yes, I dreamt that I was having sex with the guys from yesterday that were total dicks. I have to head to work for 9:00 this morning. They asked if I could take a shift tomorrow even though it is my day off. Right now it is 8:30 and I'm almost ready to head off to work. As soon as I walk outside my apartment I see two of the boys from yesterday. At least they weren't the one that made that stupid comment. I'm off to work when I see that they are following me.

I start to slow down so I can talk to them. One of them starts talking to me," Good morning. I don't know if you remember, but we wanted to apologize for our brothers behavior yesterday. It was really uncalled for." "It's alright. Oh I'm Sophia by the way. I'm sorry I don't know your names." "Oh right. I'm Hunter and this is Josh." "It's nice seeing you, but I have to head off to work. Bye." They offered to walk with me to work,so I took them up on that and they did it was surprisingly fun. We talked and got to know more about each other. What I thought was funny was that they actually sat in my area that I was serving. We agreed that we could meet up again sometimes. After work I went home and found the other two boys there.

When they saw me they walked up and greeted me." Hey, I'm Drew and this is Zach. I'm sorry for what I said yesterday." "See, it is fine, but please don't do it again. I don't like when people talk about girls behind their backs. I have had experience in that and they didn't turn out ok. Oh I met your other brothers. They seem pretty cool. Maybe we could all hang out sometimes." I suggested. They looked interested. "Yeah sure maybe we could tomorrow if you don't have to work." Zach said. "I don't have work tomorrow until 6 at night. We could hang out at your place or mine. I don't really care." "Can we go to your place. I wan to get to know you better then what you told my brothers this morning." Drew said. "Ok" I said. We agreed on tomorrow and then they left and I went to the store because I needed food.

When I was heading to the store, I passed an alleyway and what I saw was horrific. In the alleyway there were these two girls getting beat up by boys. I walked up to them and stopped them from hurting the kids. "KNOCK IT OFF RIGHT NOW!" When I said hat they stopped to look at me."Don't tell us what to do."One it the boys said. "See when you are hurting other kids I can tell you want to do. Now scram before I actually get mad and do something I'll regret." They looked at me with fear in their eyes and ran away. I walked to the girls and checked if they were alright. They just had minor bruises and cuts, but there was the major things. I know how they feel so I was careful with them. "Does anything hurt?" I asked them as I was approaching slowly, so I don't frighten them. "My arm and chest hurts." One said crying. I took her in my arms and looked and where she said it hurt. She had some deep cuts on her chest that needed attention. The other girl was cradling her arm. The way she was holding it it seemed sprained. "Where are your parents?" I asked. They looked at me kinda funny and asked, "What are parents?" "Have you ever had someone take care of you?" They shook their heads. "No, we've been on our own since we can remember." One of them told me. "Ok. How about I take you home with me and patch up your cuts and check your arm. They shook their heads yes. I took them home and got my first aid kit out and fixed their cuts and put some cream on their bruises. I'm so glad that I had someone I looked up to at the hospital while I was there. She taught me how to wrap up my injuries. She helped me through so many things. I looked at her arm and wrapped it tightly and put a sling on it. Omg I don't even know their names. "Girls my name is Sophia what are yours?" I questioned. "Our names are Megan and Emily. We are both 7 years old." "Ok. Do you guys want to take a bath, eat, watch a movie, then go to bed?" I asked. They looked so excited and I took that as a yes. "Im going to go get you some pajamas to sleep in while you are in the bath. I'll be right back to help you guys wash up." I said I got them into the bath and then got them some pajamas that a had that were mine when I was about their age. My foster home gave me them. They were pants and a tank top. After I got them all cleaned I got them dressed then we ate some pizza. Good thing that they have had pizza before. We watched a movie before they were asleep. I put them in my bed with me and we slept. When I woke up I called in sick so I could take care of the girls. I was making breakfast when I heard a small cry. I stopped what I was doing and went straight to my room. When I opened to door I say that Megan woke up and started crying because she thought that I left. I told her that I was making breakfast. She was calming down and her cries turned to little hiccups. She was so cute. When Emily woke up we ate breakfast and they enjoyed it. We were having fun I totally forgot the boys were going to come over. I don't even know what time. It is now 1 in the afternoon and i just put the girls down for a nap. I heard a knock on the door and froze. I knew who it was. I opened to door and saw the four of them happy. "Hey guys,come on in." I said. "Thanks Sophia. You have a nice home." Josh said. It looked like the others agreed. "Thanks." They all started talking really loud I thought they were going to wake up the girls.Than I heard a cry. Oh no. They looked at me funny. "Give me a sec." I said told them I'll be back. When I walked into my room I saw that they were both awake. When they saw me they cried harder. "Come here girls." I rocked them back to sleep but they wouldn't let go. They would whine everyone I tried to put them down, so I had to walk out with them on me. I knew that they would want food when they woke up again. When I walked out the boys looked confused. I knew why." Hey this is not what it looks like." "Ok. Tells us what it is." Drew said. Damn he sounds angry. "Look I found them beaten up from boys. I saved them. They are injured but I've taken care of them. I'm planning on adopting them they are 7 years old, but don't even know what parents are. They told me that she they've been on their own since they can remember. So, I'm going to adopt them and be their mom." I said sternly. The looked at me funny, but they also look at me with in their eyes. Then I felt the girls staying to wake up. I put them down on one of the couches together when they woke up they were hungry. "Hey Emily, Megan, these guys are my friends Drew, Zach, Josh, and Hunter." "Hi" they both said to the boys." Mommy we're hungry." Emily said to me. "I know sweetheart. Maybe ask one of the boys if they can take you out." I whispered the last part in her ears. She looked up at me excited then to the boys. They had no idea what was coming. " CAN YOU PEASE TAKE US OUT." She asked in her sweet voice that you couldn't say no to. They looked at her in awe as she did her sweet voice. I knew that face thy were trying to say no but they couldn't. "Yes sweetheart we can take you out." Josh said. As soon as they said that both of the girls jumped on them and were so happy. "Ok girls get of the boys. We need to get you ready." They rushed to my room. "We'll be right back guys." "Don't worry about it. We can wait." I dressed the girls in similar outfits. Emily was in Jean shorts with a white shirt with a red plaid shirt over it. She had on some tan boots. Megan had on a white shirt with a leather jacket with a red plaid shirt around her waist. She had on blue jeans with black boots.
I put on a black outfit. I had on my black leather jacket with a black undershirt and black ripped jeans. I had on my white adidas shoes with black stripes. (In the media). When we walked out the boys were shocked. I don't know why, but they were. "Ok are we ready to go out? Ok, maybe we could head to our favorite restaurant to eat." "Ok. As long as it isn't long. They can't wait long to eat." I said. We took off less than a minute later. When we got to the restaurant the workers looked afraid of them. Now that I mention it everyone look afraid. I have no idea why, but everything can out quick. We were just about done with dinner when Hunter asked what I was going to do with the girls. I told them that I was adopting them. They knew this, but I guess they forgot? After dinner was done we went home and got ready for bed. We were about to go to sleep when Megan asked if I was really going to adopt them. I told them yes and to go to bed. I sang them to sleep, singing a song that my mom used to sing to me when she was alive.
