Danielle POV

After I had collected myself I walked down the steps and into the living room where I found my parents watching Stranger Things.

When I walked into the room they slowly turned their heads toward me. I sat down in the chair while they were on the couch.

"No" I spoke sure of myself.

"What" my mother questioned.

I sighed "adopting someone else" I said.

"Why?" she asked.

"What age?" I asked.

"15" she said.

"No" I said looking her straight in the eyes.

"Why not?" She asked a look of desperation in her eyes.

"Older kids who get adopted are trouble mama" I paused. Remember when i had to go see the adoption center when I turned 5 to see where I was. She nodded. "I saw those older kids, they were violent and scary" I spoke.

"What does she know" my father spoke up "she is only ten" he spat.

Ouch, that hurt.

"Do what you want" I spit in their direction " you asked me, I told you my answer. Wether you listen to me or not is up to you" I said bitterly as I stood up and walked away.

Kristen's POV

"Maybe she's right, she was at the adoption center. She saw what she saw. We dont know what she went through the week she had to stay there" I said defending my daughter.

"She is only ten, she was five at the time. Kids make up stories" he said with a dull face.

"We should listen to her Bob" I said.

"We are going to the adoption center tomorrow, we are bring someone home with us" he spoke with confidence.

I sat there in silence with my head down. I knew this wasn't right but he was not going to listen.

I looked up and sighed.

There has to be a better way than to just ignore my daughter, I love her way to much than to just brush her off.

That is until I spoke up.

"I am not going" I spoke confidently.

He looked at me with a shocked expression. "What?" He spat.

"I am not going, I am not going to do that to my daughter" I paused " if you want to go get another kid than go and adopt one" I said staying calm.

Bob POV

I can't believe she is talking back to me, why cant she just be her normal submissive self.

"You are going with me whether you like it or not" I sneered.

"I most certainly am not" she shot back.

"I am going to get the most rude teenage boy I can find" I spat.

"He can be yours because you obviously do not care for Danielle" she paused "our one and only daughter that we saved" a tear slid down her cheek "but you don't care that we saved her from living life in that horrible place, all the teenagers in their now were placed there this year, there has to be a reason Bob." And with that she stood up and walked away.

Walked away from me.

She really needs to be put in her place but first I am gonna go get us a boy.

A boy I can help.

Hehehe.

Help.

Sooo, tell me what you think all of you wonderful people.

Of course I already know who is going to be brought back with the most lovely husband ever.....dont ya think.

But who do you think he is going to bring home?

Anyways.....

Stay strong, stay beautiful
