==Ally's POV==
I sat down on the couch, and the girls gave me worried looks. I put my hand over my mouth and reread the letter.
Dear Miss Allyson Brooke Hernandez,
A file has been held against you to retain custody of Sadie Clair Michelle Grieger. The evidence states: "Sadie has been through a lot in her short life, and traveling around and not getting to settle down affects children who are still growing. Growing up under the influence of fame and not being able to lead a normal life will cause the child to become stressed and/or produce problems later in life. The people that she lives with currently are usually very busy and Sadie does not get enough quality time to bond." With the evidence stated above, it is clear that is enough information to take Sadie away to a new foster home where she will get the proper care and love she needs to live a happy life. In conclusion, by the authority of the California state, we will take custody of Sadie Grieger as of October 15, 2014 at 8:00 a.m.
Sincerely, the Adoption Services
I drop the letter and weep. Mani holds my shoulders, and Camila picks up the letter and reads it. She gasps and starts to cry. The letter is passed around until everyone knows what it says. Everyone except Sadie. I am held by the girls until I hear a soft voice whisper, "Mommy, why are you crying?"
==Sadie's POV==
I awake to the sound of someone sobbing. Where am I? Oh I'm in my bunk. I hop down and open the door to the lounge. I see the girls with their arms wrapped around Ally, who is sobbing uncontrollably.
"Mommy, why are you crying?" I ask softly, tears threatening to spill. When someone I love cries, I cry.
She looks at me and opens her arms. I run into them and she holds onto me like this will be the last time I will ever see her. She kisses my head and we just hug each other. The others are crying too. Something bad happened.
"Mommy, what happened?" I ask, kissing her bright red nose, and look into her eyes.
"Something terrible," she whispers. I begin to cry and she holds me tight.
"Please tell me," I say, poking out my bottom lip.
She sobs and says, "The Adoption Services said they are going to take you away."
I lean away from her with shock registered on my face.
"No. No. No. NO!" I scream, as I sprint out of the bus. I don't know where I'm running to, but I just need to go somewhere. I need to hit something. I run to a park nearby and climb into a tube. I punch the plastic at least five times before I feel the wetness of blood.
Why does everything good have to be taken away?! Can't they see I'm happy with my family? That I love them? That they love me? I cover my face with my hands and begin to cry. I let everything out. My rage, my sadness, my despair. Is Ally going to fight for me? Why can't I stay with the people I love? It's dark out, so I climb out of the tube and begin to backtrack back to the bus.
I open the door and am picked up by Lauren.
"Oh my gosh you scared us! Are you okay? The rest of the girls are out looking for you," Lauren says with tears in her eyes.
"I'm not o-okay," I say, new tears forming. I sob into Lauren's neck and she clings onto me tight. I grip her shirt in my hands and hold on. Lauren reluctantly puts me down and calls the girls. They come racing back faster than you could say Booty Pop Madness. The girls give me a group hug, and I climb into Ally's lap.
"You'll fight for me, right mommy?" I ask, tears rolling down my cheeks.
She takes her hands and holds my face. Her thumbs wipe my tears away and she says, "I will fight for you every second or every day just to keep you here."
I rest my head on her chest and we all pray together. I close my eyes and memorize the feeling of Ally's arms around me, knowing that this could very well be one of the last hugs I get from her in a while. I close my eyes and fall into a restless sleep full of my nightmares and the very thought that one of them was coming true.
