Adopted by Zalfie

Chapter 4

May's Pov

1 year later

It has been 8 months since Skylar had been adopted, leaving me all alone here. We wanted to be adopted together, but thats not what her new parents wanted. They said they "only want one kid for now and their going to have their own in the future." Letting Skylar go was one of the worst, saddest moments of my life. I have nothing left here. The only thing keeping me going, is Youtube. Thanks to Zalfie.

I wake up on the couch with Zoe's head gentle resting on my lap. She was fast asleep and Nala had found a nice, little, cozy spot in Zoe's arms. I watch her as she lightly breathes in and out as she clutches Nala. It was the perfect setting. Both so cute. I could never be a happier man, married to Zoe and owning a pug and two guinea pigs with her.

All of a sudden, Zoe's eyes open, and I quickly shut mine. I could feel her get up.

"Alfieeeeeeee." She said in a soft tone as she pokes my nose with a laugh. Pretending to just wake up, I open my eyes.

"Good morning, beautiful." I smile as I kiss her on the lips, making her kiss back.

"Have a good sleep?" She asks with a smile.

"I did. Especially when your next to me." I answer.

"Awww for that, im going to go make you some pancakes!" She squealed as she got up off me and walks to the kitchen.

I pump my fist in the air. "Yes! It worked!" I joke.

I started mixing the pancake recipe together and pouring the batter on the pan. As I cooked, I quietly hum a song. I could hear footsteps behind me. It was Alfie, trying to sneek up on me, as always. He grabs my waist and lifts me up.

"Alfieee!" I say in a playful tone. "Put me down!"

"What do you say?" He asks, laughing.

"Well, someone's not getting any pancakes." I giggle.

"Damn, fine." He says as he put me down. I turn and kiss him.

"Oh, I love you Alfie Deyes."

"And I love you, Zoe Deyes."

We ate our pancakes at the table and talk about some serious stuff.

"Alfie?" Zoe asks in a serious tone.

I gulp. "Yes?"

"Do you want to talk about our future, maybe?" She stares deeply into my eyes.

I nod. "What kind of stuff?"

Her eyes look around the room. "Oh, I dont know.. maybe.... Kids?"

My eyes open wide. "I-I..."

"No no, nevermind, I shouldnt have brought it up." She says sadly.

"I'd love to." I finish.

She turns and looks at me with a huge grin. "Oh my god! Really?"

I nod and she runs over and hugs me.

Alfie AND Zoe havent posted in a while, making me nervous. It's been 3 weeks, and their comments are going crazy. Comments like "where you at" and "did you die" and such. Ive been watching Zoe's brother Joe to make up for it. Ill admit, I love Joe too. Hes really funny, and his "Sugg Sunday Specials" have gotten really good.

For a serious talk, I must admit that I have a little bit of depression since Skylar left. I may have self harmed a little when I got to the adoption place, and I promised myself I would never do it again. But, when Skylar left, I did it again around my thighs. The other kids make fun of me and laugh for no reason. That only makes me do it more.

Here is why I dont and will never get adopted by anyone. 1, I'm awkward. 2, other kids are better at showing their 'cuteness' to parents. And 3, im much to old for parents to want. My worst fear is that I'll live here forever.

I just hope that doesn't happen and that I can be happy again soon.
