~AUTHORS NOTE~

Comment if you want me to continue with this story because I am thinking of just starting a totally different story. So yeah comment me.

The next morning I thought it was just a normal morning, that was until I had a whiff of food. Real, actual food. I had never had that before on a morning. That's when Jennifer knocked on my door.

"Come in" I said and then I saw her. She had her hair in a messy bun on the top of her head and she was wearing a random shirt and some shorts. She was carrying in a tray of food, it had in it a plate full of french toast, scrambled eggs and bacon.

"Here's your breakfast, you should dressed, if you don't have anything then you can borrow something from my closet. Ginny, Lana and Emilie are insisting on coming with us to the mall. I think they just want some new clothesfor Hawaii, but unless youare completely againt them coming withus then Ginny will pick us up in a hour." She said. I think se was in a ruch because she was talking really quickly.

"No they can come with us, I really don't know anything about fashion, so i could use all the help I can get." I said quickly so she could leave. After she mumbled a thanks and left the room I dug into my breakfast. It might have been the best food I have ever ate.

I got dressed about 10 minutes later and then got up to get dressed. I wore one of my own shirts and my own hoodie, and then I borrowed Jennifer's black skinny jeans. I didn't do anything with my hair because it's curly so it takes very little effort to look. I looked in the mirror and decided that this was about as good as it was going to get, as usual.

When I went downstairs Ginnifer, Lana and Emilie were all sat on the couches. They all looked gorgeous and I felt pretty underdressed.

"Hey guys, did Jennifer let you in?" I said, quite confused.

Emilie was the one who spoke up first "No we let ourselves in Jen said she would be late down and Ginny's car was quite cold, so we thought we would come into the warm."

Jennifer came down about 10 minutes later and then we all climbed into Ginnifer's car. It took us about 15 minutes to get to the mall so by the time we got to the store it was 10:30AM. Jennifer took us into her favourite store first which was some small designer store that she liked. It was quite nice but there was nobody else in there. We bought two new pairs of jeans and this lace blouse.

Then we went to Emilie's favourite store. It was quite a large boutique this time but it was still empty in that store we bought some underwear and a dress that Emilie said would look good on me in Hawaii. Lana's store was full of really cool shorts and pants. We bought three pairs of shorts and two more pairs of jeans all for Hawaii. I had never been on a vacation so I didn't really know what things you were supposed to wear on one. Ginnifer's store was full of bathing suits so all of the adults bought bikinis and when I was just going to buy a couple of one pieces Lana and Emilie insisted that I buy at least a couple of bikinis, so I did.

All of the stores that we had visited had only one thing in common nobody was in the stores or even the rest of the mall. I thought it was strange so I asked Jennifer about it.

"Well that's why I was so stressed this morning, fans would have come up to us and usually we don't mind but today you were with us for the first time so I didn't want you to become overwhelmed about people coming to talk to us so I asked them if they could shut the mall for a day for everyone but us." she explained

I think that was the first time  anyone had aver cared about me at all let alone ared about me enough to shut an entire mall just so that I would feel comfortable.

When we got home Jen said that dinner would be at 6:30PM and invited all of the women to come to dinner as well. Ginny accepted but everyone else declined so that they could pack. Ginny called Josh and told him to come over and told him to bring Oliver as well. After dinner I played with Oliver while Ginny and Jen had some wine and Josh just joined in on their conversation.

As i started to drift of that night after Josh and Ginny had gone home I started to think about what was going to happening in the next few days. Today was Tuesday, we were going to Hawaii tomorrow and the plane set off at noon. On Friday I would be turning 16 in Hawaii with all of the people that could be new friends and the woman that chose me to adopt instead of one of the younger kids from the home. I can't wait.
