Chapter four:
As I'm walking up the steps one of the other foster kids is rushing out the doors towards me.
"There's a family in there waiting for you I think you're getting adopted"she said grinning as if she was excited for me
"I doubt it, why would a family want me"I said rolling my eyes
"I would want you if I could adopted you" she said
"Man watch out" I pushed pass her continuing my way up the steps
Soon as I stepped in the house it was Leslie, this family that had two kids...twin boys that looked about 5, a tall dark man, and a lady ... as I was in mid thought the lady walked up to me.
"Hi, I'm Evonne. Are you Majesti?" She said curiously
"Yeah, who asking" I said with one eyebrow twitched up
She had this big grin on her face
"Omg it really is you" she said and grabbed my cheeks on my face
"Aye youngsta... don't be touching on me like dat I don't know you" I said smacking her hands down and stepping back
"Ha... you remind me so much of my mom"she said smirking
I just looked at her like the lady was crazy.
"So this family wants to adopted you. For some reason I really don't understand as to why seriously" Leslie said with her eyes wide as if she was shocked
"Maybe because everyone isn't a bitter bitch like you" Evonne said mugging Leslie
I just stood there shocked, trying to figure out why she was defending me....
"Ha.. y'all are meant for each other literally" Leslie said rolling her eyes then continued "so when are y'all going to start this paper work so you can leave.. the sooner the better"
"Hold up... I don't think I wanna get adopted" I said
"Well your already 17 when you turn 18 you can't be in the system any more" Leslie said and chuckled
"Just give me a day or two to think on it" I said. As I proceeded to my room Evonne stops me
"Take all the time you need"
I nodded my head at her and started walking up the steps. When I hit like the 5th step I hear Leslie mumble saying "I hope that brat leaves" then Evonne said "bitch you got one more time and it's gone be me and you" I just chuckled. When I walked into my room I seen that foster kid sitting on my bed from outside.
"Aye what you doing in here youngsta" I said
"I just came to say my last goodbyes" she said teary eyed
"What you mean last goodbyes? I'm not going no where" I said sitting beside her on my bed
"Aren't you getting adopted though...?"
I just looked into her eyes and I seen all the hurt "I'm thinking about it but, it's like I don't know if I can trust it. Why would someone want to adopted me and I know I'm the worst kid in here in this place... see I didn't really get to have a childhood or a life at that so why would someone want to come in my life now after all these years"
"Well maybe this is a blessing from god. Maybe it's time for you to be happy again I know at one point in time you where happy.. as for me I been in the foster care system since birth you know how many years that is 15 years.... you know how bad that feels to know that nobody loved me as a child and just gave me up for no good damn reason. I always wonder where is the lady that birthed me and why did she give me away, I'll just look her in the eye and just ask why"
I just looked at her in disbelief because in one point in time I felt that same way. When my mom left to start a new family because, she didn't want me and my dad anymore that hurt me I felt neglected by the person I thought should have been loving me and caring for me. She abandoned us when I was only 3 years old that hurts.
"Well if it makes you feel any better I love you, you my little sister okay" I said wrapping my arm around her shoulders
"But you don't even know me you just know a little piece of my story" she said looking down at her feet
"Well let's get to know each other. What's your name?" I said
"Tammy..." she said grinning a little
"Welp Tammy... how about this when I get adopted I'll have you adopted too okay" I said smiling
She jumped on my lap hugging me "omg that'll be awesome"
"Alright get up off me I'm not with the sentimental stuff" I said angrily and pushed her off me
She hit the floor hard and didn't know what to do she just looked at me
"Now get out my room and don't come back in here unless I say it's okay"
"Okay I'm sorry" Tammy ran out as if someone just stole her piece of chicken and cake off her dinner plate
