Chapter 7

In the next few days I am able to leave the hospital.
I leave the hospital on crutches due to my leg, but I'm just glad I get to leave the hospital of no color. The hospital was extremely boring. The only thing keeping me from jumping out the window were the constant visits from the cast. Although truthfully most of the visits were from Ben and occasionally some of the others would tag along. Not that I minded. They shouldn't have to worry about me. I shouldn't even be here in the first place. I should've just let Jackson shoot me to death.

Anyways, Ben is taking me to the adoption agency to fill out the forms so maybe Sky or Josh can foster me.
We're walking down the street, my brain  lost in its thoughts.

Why do they want you? They're just doing it out of sympathy and fame. Maybe. I don't even care anymore. At least I have some shelter until they  decide I'm too much for them.

"Hey Mia, what are you thinking about?"
Ben asks, interrupting my thoughts.

"Oh nothing much." I put on my signature fake smile.

"Are you okay? Is anything wrong?" Oh no. He probably knows I didn't answer truthfully.

"Everything's fine." And there's another lie. Another reason he shouldn't want me.

We continue to walk down the street in silence.

"We're here." Ben stops abruptly in front of a building. I look up and see the courthouse. We walk in and Ben talks to a random guy for what seems like an eternity.

He eventually starts signing paperwork.

Ben is scribbling things down on the paper quickly. He finishes and hands the paper back to the man and walks back over to me.

"Okay Mia, I have signed the paperwork I need to do. Now I just need to get Sky over here so he can sign his paperwork." He looks happy. "Once that is taken care of, you will officially be fostered by the one... the only... Sky Flaherty!" He says. He dramatically waves his hands around. I'm half happy that this is what I'll be living with, but the other half is already embarrassed for my poor soul. If this is how Ben is now, imagine what him and the rest of the cast are like.

We take off back to the hotel.
"Okay so you'll be staying with Meredith for now." He says, pushing the button of the elevator. "You don't need to worry, she's really sweet and motherly. She'll take good care of you."

I don't doubt him. She seemed really sweet the one time I saw her.

She will just think your trouble to take care of. She shouldn't have to take care of your problems.

I'm so lost in my thoughts that I don't even realize we are already in front of the hotel room.
Ben knocks on the door and Meredith quickly opens it.

"Hey Ben! Hello Mia!" She waves us in. "You can go ahead and get yourself settled. You can sleep in that extra bed over there." I set my backpack down on the bed. I probably need a new one. Mine is all torn up and dirty. No one wants a backpack like that.

I slip into the bed, too exhausted to stay awake anymore. I quickly fall asleep to the quiet voices of Ben and Meredith. I guess it's time to start a new chapter of my life. Hopefully they actually keep me.

Ehh they'll keep you for awhile and then just send you back.

Yeah that's probably what they'll do. Everybody else has.
