Tears spilled over my eyelids and I looked down letting them flow down my cheeks.
" Indigo, honey, I'm so sorry." Mrs. Tammy said to me.
" I want to adopt her."
I looked up to see the man with red hair staring at me with hope in his eyes.
I smiled. " You do?"
" Hell yeah I do! You seem like a really cool kid." He smiled back.
" Thank you so much!" I said. I was getting up to hug him when Mrs.Tammy pulled me back into my seat.
" I don't want to rain on your parade here but I need to know if you are going to be in good hands."
" She will I promise." The man said.
I should learn his name.
" Where will she be staying?" Mrs. Tammy asked.
" With me at my house with one of my best friends, Aaron." He said.
" What are your intentions with her?" Said Mrs. Tammy.
" I want to give her the best life she could ever have. I can take care of her I have enough money and all that and my family is big so if I ever get in a accident there will be people to take her in." The man said smiling like a mad man.
" Well, all you need you to do is sign these papers and I would like to talk to you in private for a moment. Indigo would you go get your bags?" Said Mrs. Tammy and waved me off.
I got up from my seat and I walked to the baggage claim.
I found my bags and I slid them off the convertor belt and tried to throw all of them over my shoulder making it easier to carry.
I finally get over to them just as they finish there conversation.
" I'm ready." I said.
The man smiled. " Let's go, by the way, I'm Alan Ashby."
We walked out into the parking lot me trying to roll my tiny bag over the rough concrete.
" Do you want me to carry that for you?" Alan asked.
" Nope it's cool I got it." I gave him a small grin and I pick it up with the crook of my elbow and swing it over my shoulder.
" That's cool, your gonna have to show that to me sometime! " Alan said jumping up and down.
" Whoa calm down there tiger." I said getting tired but I willed my eyes open.
" Thats my nick-name, well similar, it's ginger princess and I love cats."
I smile at him.
We make our way to a old beaten up black pickup truck with old leather seats and a smoky smell inside.
"Sorry about the smell, I'm getting a new car soon so you won't have to deal with it for to long." He said waving the air.
" It's cool, I'm used to the smell." I say looking out the window.
" What? How?" He said starting the car.
" Some of the foster homes I stayed in weren't to nice. Or kid friendly. Bits it's alright cause those days are over. I don't care if you and your friends smoke." I said giving him a reassuring smile.
He sighed with relief.
" Let's see what we got for music." I said and pulled out a little box from under my feet and put it on my lap.
"Dude you got to update your music, yeah I like Metallica and Led Zeppelin but come on man. cassette tapes?" I say to him.
" Okay that's enough, driver picks the music, shotgun shuts her pie-hole." He says and pulls the box from my hands an put it hand on the floor.
" Did you just quote supernatural?" I asked flabbergasted.
" Yup, we are going to get along nicely." He said.
We talked about random things, our life, what we liked, what we did for a living.
A litter after an hour in the car I got tired and I went to sleep.
~~~
" Indigo and you okay?" Alan asked his voice thick with worry.
"Yeah im okay." I say rubbing my head. "Did I hit my head?"
" Yeah, on the window," He said, "Alright, well we are here."
I look out the window at a nice small house that looks well taken care of.
"Wow." I breathe out.
" I know right." Alan says to me.
He takes my bag and we go in the front door.
The front area was amazing.
It had pictures on canvases of Alan and many other men all with tattoos
He put his keys on a front table and we walked into the front living room
It had plush white carpets and a black fur love seat and two lamps on the side.
We walked into the kitchen and it had a very modern feel.
Stainless steel appliances, white marble floor, and dark white cabinets with silver handles.
We walk into a TV room and I see a man in all black looking at the DVR.
"There's a man in your house!" I cry and I hide behind Alan.
"Aaron! Get over here you're scaring the girl." Alan shouts and the man looks up at us.
I hide beside Alan and looked at the guy.
He was a little pudgy and he had a little beard but it wasn't very thick and he had floppy hair and brown eyes.
" Hey I'm Aaron." He said and put his hand out for me to shake.
I lifted up my hand and shook it awkwardly.
"What happened?" He asked pointing to the missing leg.
" I lost it when I was little to frostbite." I say and look at the leg.
" Dude that's so cool!" He shouts and looks at it.
" Who did this drawing?" He asked.
" A little girl at the airport." I say smiling.
No one has ever reacted this way to it before.
" Thats awesome." He says and sits back down.
I smile and I follow Alan up the stairs.
" This is your room, you loom pretty tired so i will let you sleep, ill wake you for dinner." Alan said and left me alone.
I smile and i fall onto the bed.
I am out as soon as i hit the pillow.
