Adopted by Jennifer Morrison

Chapter 7:This is the backyard?

After we left my room we went through the living room until we got to a gigantic set of sliding glass doors and onto this patio. It was a wood deck and it had a table on it and, with a quick scan, what I decided to be 12 chairs. Also on the deck was a couple of rounded couches that Jen, Ginnifer, Emilie, Lana and Colin were all sat on them. They were all having their own conversations but when we came out they began to ask me questions.

"So Rebecca" Ginnifer said "How do you like the house?"

"It's beautiful, I can't believe I get to stay here" I gasped.

"Well, we decided we were going to have a barbecue tonight because none of us really feel like going out.You should go and freshen up. Hey I will come up with you and we can explore you room, I haven't seen it in person yet." Jen told me.

Together we walked up the staircase and walked into my brand new room. I was still shocked this time I saw it to be honest but I tried to hide it from Jen. We walked into the first door on the right which Jen told me was the bathroom. It had an entire cupboard full of make-up.

"I don't know if you wear it but I guessed what shade your skin was and got that but if it doesn't match then we can just get some more. If you don't want it then someone in the house would want it, so just tell me." She told me, she didn't take a breath until then either. "I got them to but some hair products and body wach kind of stuff as well but if you use a certain type then we can go and buy that tonight."

"No this is fine, I have always just had to use whatever was where I was living. I don't have a certain brand or anything. I also don't know how to really put on make-up apart from mascara." I told her biting my lip, like I always do when I am nervous.

"I could teach you tomorrow if you want Rebecca so that then you are ready to put it on for you birthday party on Friday." she asked me.

"I would love for you to teach me how to do my make up. Oh, and by the way you cancall me Becca if you want. Jared already is." I said. Nobody had called me Becca since my mom died. But I wanted this to be a fresh start, if I wanted Jen to be like my mom, I should let her call me Becca too.

"Uh, only if you want me too Rebec-, Uh, I mean Becca." She stuttered "sorry"I figured it would be fine if she stumbled for a little bit while she was still getting used to calling me Becca instead of Rebecca. "So talking about names if you don't mind I would like us to have some sort of name the same between us. What do you think?"

I felt strange. I sort of realized maybe Jen actually cared about me. Although I don't want to lose my parents completely. "I don't want to lose Jackson from my name" I told her.

"Well we could hyphenate it if we wanted to so it would be Rebecca Jackson-Morrison. That way we would both have Morrison in our names and you wouldn't have to lose Jackson from your name."

"Yeah I guess." I told Jen although I think I sounded unsure, which I guess I was.

"Well, shall we go and see your closet, huh?" she asked me, trying to make the conversation lighter again.

So we walked into the other door and I felt like my new closet was bigger than my old room back when I lived with my parents. It was full of clothes and an entire wall was full of fancyclothes which, when I looked at them, were all designer. I could never afford these, like ever. My parents both had jobs but we couldn't afford anything like this. One of these dresses would probably cost the same as all of my current closet added together and a lot more.

Jen probably wore these types of clothes everyday. I felt pretty embarrassed by the clothes that I had met Jen in. I was wearing shorts and a tank top that we bought yesterday at the mall. After we explored the closet we went down to dinner. We were eating outside on the patio.

It was really warm but we were having ice cold drinks so it was actually okay. I was sat between Jen and Jared and Jen was talking to Colin so me and Jared pretty much talked the whole way through dinner. When dinner was finished we all decided to watch a movie on the huge TV screen in the main living room. We watched 'The Shawshank Redemption' It was good, but I had seen it before so it wasn't much of a surprise.

By the time the movie finished it was 11PM so we all decided we should go to bed. I went up to my room and for the first time since we got to Hawaii I was alone. I went out on the balcony and looked out at the waves that were washing up on the shore line. Then I heard a noise in my room I went in and Jen was sitting there on the end of my bed. I went in and I broke. All I could think of was how I lost my parents. How I lost my mom and how I lost my dad. They meant the world to me and for the last six years I had been heartbroken.

As I cried into Jen's shoulder that night I thought of how maybe I could feel that again. Maybe I could have a family.
