Lilah's Pov trigger warning I'm sorry
I woke up to Ryan singing. I smiled softly and rubbed my eyes. I flipped out of bed and walked into the living room.

" Morning. " Ryan says smiling softly.

I plopped onto the couch and groaned. " Tired. "

" food? " Ryan asks.

" Yes. " I say wrapping my arms around Dottie.

Ryan hands me a slice of toast. " here ya go. The inspector will be here soon so take a shower and make your bed. "

" okay. " I say throwing my plate in the trash.

I walk back into my room and turn on the shower. I get undressed and get into the shower. I wash my hair and body and then get out.

I slip on a pair of black ripped skinny jeans and a white oversized sweater. I grab my makeup and wet my beauty blender. I blend in my foundation and then do my concealer. I do a blue glittery eye look and a nude lip.

" Lilah! They're going to be here soon. " Ryan shouts.

" Almost done! " I say spraying setting spray onto my face.

I put on my socks and a pair of combat boots and walk back into the living room.

" You look nice. " Ryan says giggling.

" Eh, I feel like trash. " I say biting my lip.

" don't! " Ryan says giggling.

There was a knock at the door. Ryan looks at me panicked.

" How do I look? How does the house look? Oh, fuck." Ryan says running his fingers through his hair.

" You look fine, answer the goddamn door. " I say giggling.

" It's not the time for references! " Ryan groans opening the door.

" Hello, sir. " The inspector asks.

" Hi, come on in. " Ryan says with a kind smile on his face.

The man comes in and shakes his hand. " Hi, I'm John. "

" Hi, I'm Ryan. " Ryan said smiling.

" Hello, and you must be Delilah! " John says smiling.

I cringed and shook his hand. " Hello. "
" Alright, so I'm first going to check the safety of the home for a thirteen-year-old. She seems pretty smart so I don't think she'll be playing with knives or fire. " John says giggling softly.

" Yeah, she's super intelligent. " Ryan says smiling.

" Very nice house you have by the way. " John says smiling.

I nudge Ryan. " He's flirting. "

" Hush. " Ryan says softly.

" everything looks very nice and very clean. Perfectly safe for a teen to live here. Have you recently checked the alarms on the security system? " John asks.

" Yes. It works well. " Ryan says blushing softly.

I look up at Ryan and smile a tiny bit.

" Any problems with the dog at all? " John asks.

" Oh no, not at all. She's a sweetheart! " Ryan says smiling.

" Good, good. Now, Delilah. Do you feel safe here? " John asks.

" Yeah, definitely. " I say smiling.

" Good, Now you guys just need to sign a couple of papers and then you will officially be Delilah Ross. " John says running his fingers through his hair.
