Tom Holland Adopted Me

Day 5 (SOPHIA)

It had been 2 days since I last spoke to Sam and Harry, and 2 days since I was just seconds away from seeing Tom. Part of me still questions if I had made the right decision, but in the end it was him who gave me up. And I'm not ready to hear bull shit excuses on why.

I was tired of all the false hopes and lies. The past few months of my life have been built on a Bed of lies! I hate Thomas Stanley Holland, or at least I want to believe that, but even now with everything that's happened, I can't bring myself to truly hate him. He'd given me so much, even if it was for a short time, I'd been able to experience it. I mean some unreal stuff happened! I was kidnapped! My fake biological mother tried to take me back! I had celebrities for teachers! And met the most amazing group of friends, I'd hate to say it but without Tom none of it would have been possible. And even if it was short lived, it was still a memory I'd always have.

A knock at my door interrupted my thoughts as Luke's head popped in. "Hey kiddo, you okay?" He asked. He'd been asking the same question every time he came in since my almost encounter with Tom. "I'm fine Luke, you don't need to worry about me." I smiled to convince him more of my answer. He just sighed sitting next to me. "You can talk to me."

Luke always knew me better than anyone, and no matter what happened or what will happen I always know I'll have Luke.

Later that day

I was currently sitting in the lounge area playing checkers with Sebastian, he'd been visiting multiple times a day for the past 3 days. It was a bit annoying at times because he talked about Tom often, but he'd get the point after my third huff that I wasn't interested in talking about him. But it was also nice to have someone from what was once my home, what was once my life. Sure it wasn't my home or life anymore but it was still a part of my journey in life and I didn't have to completely wipe it away because of what happened.

I was coming to terms with this a lot faster than I'd assumed, and even though it's only been 5 days it seems like it's been getting easier every day. I mean Im always going to miss that part of my life, it had been amazing and I loved it so much. But with the foster system you have to learn to not get attached, and that was something I'd let myself do. Id gotten attached, but it was a mistake I'd never make again.

Of course I'm not going to push away the people I'd grown to love who are now a part of my life, but I'm choosing not to dwell any longer on the ones I've lost, I'll miss them, but this is life, and I have to learn to live my new normal, once again.
