The Fire Within

Adoption

Erikas pov

"Your turn, Erika!" Mrs Fletcher called as I gulped.

She led me down the dark corridor and we stopped at the last door. I gulped and looked down. I had no idea who was here. They kept it a secret.

My outfit was the nicest I could find. I wore a black Fall Out Boy shirt with dark skinny jeans, a leather jacket and high tops. My eyeliner winged out on either side of my face.

I smiled as Mrs. Fletcher opened the door. "Good luck!" she muttered.

I shot her a nervous smile as I walked in.

I bit my lip as I tried not to squeal. Sitting at the table in front of me was Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz, Andy Hurley, and Joe Trohman. They must have seen my expression because Patrick laughed as Pete said to Andy, "I like her already."

I gave a shy smile and sat down at the table.

"What's your name?" Patrick asked, softly.

"E-Erika," I muttered, sounding more nervous than intended.

Patrick smiled. Pete laughed, while Andy and Joe listened intently.

I smiled at Patrick.

Pete carried on the conversation, "Nice to meet you, Erika. So, tell us a bit about yourself."

Loosening up, I managed to think about myself, "I'm 12 years old. I think music is basically my savior, and I am a diabetic.

Andy smiled, "Diabetic, eh? I like you."

I grinned at him, confused.

Patrick rolled his eyes, "Andy you can practice your carb free cooking any time."

Andy shot a glance at Patrick, "But I don't have a reason to." His gaze landed back on me. "I could though,"

I almost jumped out of my seat. Andy Hurley was interested in me?!

Joe looked at me, " You look much older than 12,"

I glanced at him, "Really? I thought all 12 year old girls looked like this."

He chuckled, "More like 16 year olds."

I laughed back, taking my earbud out.

"What were you listening to?" Pete asked.

I gave a little smile, "You guys,"

Patrick smiled, "Which song?"

I grinned again, "Bang the Doldrums."

Pete laughed, "That song!"

Joe gave him a chuckle, "That album!"

"So I take it you're a fan." Andy grinned.

I nodded ferociously.

"What other stuff do you listen to?" Patrick asked.

"Panic! At The Disco, My Chemical Romance, One Republic, Paramore, Linkin Park, and classical like Holst, Mozart and Beethoven." I replied.

Patrick grinned. "Do you like Vivaldi?"

I grinned, "Yes I do."

Joe chuckled, "Nerds,"

I smiled at him, "Thank you!"

Patrick erupted laughing and Mrs fletcher walked in. "Times up!"

I rolled my eyes, "Bye fellow nerds," I grinned at Patrick.

They waved goodbye as I walked out.

Mrs. Fletcher laughed, "Seems like they liked you!"

"Why do you think that?" I asked

"The short one in the hat was laughing ferociously when I walked in."

"Ya know the band on my shirt?" I asked.

"Yes," she looked at my shirt, "Why?"

"That was them." I said before walking off.

I made it to my room. They would never pick me. Especially if they knew my secret.
