Part 19

(Marleys POV)

I'm so happy for him. I'm so so happy. He looks so happy. I just don't wanna be the one to tell him that I can't go with them. I'm only 16, and Miss Marin wouldn't allow it. Luke is only 16, but their new manager is taking custody of him. My face grew saddened thinking of not being with him.

"Marley, what's wrong?" He asked me, noticing my face.

"It's nothing- I just. I-" I started. He grabbed my hand.

"You can tell me. I get it if your nervous about leaving the orphanage, but it will me awesome."

"No Luke, it's that...I can't go with you."

"What are you talking about?" He asked.

"I have no legal gaurdian to allow me to go with you. Your manager is taking custody of you, I'm not a client." I said.

"There has to be a way." He said.

"Unless you want Miss Marin on tour with you guys... There's no way." I said. We sat there in silence, but when I saw those bright blue eyes light up, I knew her had an idea.

"There is one way." He said.

"What?" I asked, lost.

"Miss Lane is your mom, Marley. She said she changed your last name, she didn't say she gave you up." He explained.

"I need to call her. Can I have your phone?" He handed me it. It rang once and then was answered.

"Hi Miss Lane." I said.

"MARLEY?! Oh my goodness you're okay!"

"Yes, I'm fine. But I need a favor."

"Anything, anything." She said.

"Did you ever sign off your parental custody of me?" I asked.

"No, why?" She asked.

"I need you to." I said.

"Marley, you're my daughter I can't just sign you off for no reason."

"There is a reason. You owe me this. You never acted like a mother to me, never. It's not like those papers mean anything to either of us." I said.

"Marley-" she started.

"You never loved me. You owe this to me. This is your last chance to make this right."
I begged, and there was a long pause of silence.

"Okay, I will sign them off." She sighed.

"Thankyou, so much. " i said.

"I'm going on tour with you." I smiled to Luke. He put his forehead against mine.

"You look very fetching in that hospital gown." He said he had his hand on my bare back. There was a slit exposing my skin in the back.

"We can't do this here." I laughed.

"Sadly." He said. We laughed.

"I can't wait to be on tour with you."I said.

"I know. I'm so excited." He said so excitedly his eyes lit up.

"When do we leave?" I asked.

"Next month." He said.

"I can't wait to leave that orphinage." I said.

"You aren't gonna miss it at all?" I just shot him a look that said, ' Are you kidding me?'
He laughed and I smiled. The rest of the day we watched movies and ate hospital food. When it was time for him to go I was so upset. It was a fun day. He kissed my forehead.

"Text me when you get home safe, okay?" I asked. He took Miss Marin's car here.

"I will." He walked out the door and a nurse came in.

"You should be okay to leave tomorrow afternoon." She said, holding a clip board.

"Really?!" I asked excitedly.

"Yes. Baby, I didn't think you were gonna make it when we first had you on that table, but you were a fighter. You're still here. " she smiled. She made me tear up a bit.

"Thankyou." I smiled.
