Did You Forget?

Demi's POV:

All of the children I had interviewed were very sweet and kind. I didn't know how I would choose just one child to take home with me.

I had a child in mind but she seemed to be a little off.

"Ms. Chrissy?" I called.

"So which child is going home with you?". She asked coming from around the corner.

"I have a couple in mind, but I still haven't decided. Do you mind if I could go talk to the ones who are my choices?" I asked politely.

"Sure. Now who do you want to talk to?"

"Jessica and Destiny please."

"Alright I will send them both down in a moment." she said and went upstairs to go get them.

After about 2 minutes later, Jessica comes skipping down the stairs. I was still waiting for Destiny.

After about a good 10 minutes later, Destiny finally came down the stairs, not as happy as Jessica was.

"Ok, so I have both called you down here to get to know you little better."

Jess seemed a little overexcited, but Destiny seemed out of it.

"How about we play 20 questions to get to know you guys a little better?". I suggested.

"Ok!" Jess said.

"Yeah.... sure.... whatever." Destiny whispered.

"Ok Jessica, are you and Destiny great friends?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Yeah Jessica, are we good friends?" Destiny said crossing her arms looking at Jessica

Destiny's POV:

Ms. Chrissy came up to tell me that Demi wanted me to go down stairs.

I waited a little while not caring if I made her wait.

I finally decided to go down and slumped down the stairs.

Ugh I am just so depressed.

Jessica was already waiting down stairs. Why her?

I finally made it to the couch, and sat as far away from Jessica as possible.

"How about we play 20 questions to get to know each other better?" Demi suggested.

Are you serious? 20 questions, you have to be kidding me.

I rolled my eyes and decided to go along with it.

"Ok, are you and Destiny great friends?" she asked Jessica.

"Yeah Jessica are we good friends?" I asked sarcastically.

"No. Why would I be friends with this emo freak?" She said finally.

And there it is every body.

"I'm not gonna just sit here and deal with this. I don't care if you adopt me or not, and you probably are better off not adopting me. Bye and thank you for the effort." I quickly said and darted up the stairs as tears effortlessly fell from my eyes.

I ignored the calling from Demi, and ran to my room and slammed the door.

'Jessica is right'

'You are so fat, Demi will never adopt you'

'Fat! Fat! Fat! Fat!"

By now Demi was banging on the door.

"MAKE THEM STOP!" I screamed.

"MAKE WHAT STOP?" Demi screamed from the other side of the door.

I screamed on the top of my lungs trying to drown the voices out.

Then everything became black.

***********

I woke up the next morning in my bed, under the covers.

How did I get here?

I sat up but epically failed. I then realized that their were arms wrapped around my waist.

I turned and saw it was a sleeping Demi.

Did she actually care?

I yawned again and decided to sleep for a bit more.

I laid back down and snuggled into Demi's embraced, happy that finally someone may actually care about me.
