A/N don't watch vid till I say!
Nala's POV
I woke up at 1am, got dressed and washed. I then spent a few hours on my phone and reading my books. It was soon 7am, time to wake Ash up.
"ASH!!" I shouted from her doorframe.
"Wut... I'm up, I'm up!!" She said, half asleep. Then she suddenly remembered what was happening today and rushed to get herself sort.
"Whoa! Calm down, it only 7!" I said, laughing. Ash looked slightly annoyed but still got dressed and sorted.
*time skip, 30 mins before party*
"Come on, Ash! We'll be late of we don't go now!" I called to her, picking up my backpack from the kitchen side and pulling on my hoodie.
"I'm coming!" She said, walking into the room.
She looked more decent than me, she wore denim shorts with black leggings, a nice shirt and a leather jacket over the top. Her hair was tied back, so it didn't get in the way. She also had black boots on. I wore some jeans, a tshirt with central perk(From the series Friends) written on it and my hoodie over the top. I wore a pair of trainers and my hair was also tied back.
"Right lets go!" I said, walking out with Ash not far behind.
*Time Skip*
We are here and with 10 mins to spare. We could hear people inside, doing the last minute decorations, so we walked in.
"Hey!" I greeted Simon, Lewis, Ridge and Hannah.
"Hi!" They all said.
"Looks amazing, guys! Great job!" I said looking around in amazement. They smiled and said thanks. Soon everyone was coming in and greeting each other. The party started, Area 11 was playing songs that were requested and everyone was dancing or drinking and chatting. I was sat in the corner with a shandy next to me, watching everyone get drunk and mess around. As the night progressed, people started having shots. I joined in, more cause I had to but o wasn't that bothered.
"Right, who goes first?" I asked. Everyone pointed to Lewis, who filled his shot glass and downed it in one. Then Lewis chose Simon, who done the same, then chose Kim. It went on like this till most people had given up, it was only me and Ridge left, we each had had 7 shots each. Rythian mixed up some of the strongest alcohols, and gave both of us a glass each.
"On 1. 3...2...1!" He said, we each downed the glass and Ridgedog almost passed out, he gave in and I won. Everyone cheered and clapped, I bowed.
"How the fuck did you manage to drink all that and not be drunk!?" Bebop asked. I shrugged and said, "I started drinking since I was 7, not all the time but whenever I was by my self. Suppose it don't have an effect on me anymore." The others looked surprised. The evening carried on, people getting even more drunk and having fun. It was 12pmish when Rythian came up to me, and pulled to the corner out of earshot of anyone else.
"I wanted to ask you something." He said, unsure of what to do next, "Me and Zoey have been thinking and we've decided that, if you don't mind, we wanna adopt both you and Ash. Of course Zoey is talking to Ash now." I was shocked and somewhat unsure of what to say.
"I'm sure Ash would love that." I say, picking up my bag and making my way to the door, leaving Rythian confused.
"Going so soon?" Hannah asked.
"I'll be back later, just gotta go do something." I replied, walking out the door and climbing the building. I sat on the edge of the roof, crosslegged. I pulled my backpack closer to me and opened it, taking out a bottle of shandy, uncovering the parchment and present I had forgotten about. I pulled out the parchment, putting down the bottle, and unrolled it. It read;
Dear Nala,
Please come back, I can not live like this anymore, you brother and I need your help. I cannot look after him, knowing that he may turn out like you. My daughter, I love and please don't forget that. I should never have thrown you out on the streets.
~Mother.
Angrily I threw the letter back into my bag, not believing a word I had read. I picked up the package and carefully unwrapped it, there was two things; an photo of my old family in a frame and a necklace with the Assassin symbol and the symbol of the parkour group, The End. (Pic in Media), I put the necklace on and the picture back in my bag. I opened my drink and thought. (Thoughts are in bold font) I know it's always been my dream to be adopted by the Yogscast, and even more of dream to be adopted by Rythian but I should of thought of what it would of cost me in the long run... To me, having a family would be like learning a whole new language! Having to start at the basics and work up. I just don't think I would be able to live with a family again, I don't think I could trust anyone enough to called them Mum or Dad. It's a shame that I am wasting this opportunity, but...I don't know, maybe I am underestimating myself... As these thoughts raced through my mind, I made up my decision. I made my way back inside, when 'For the love of a daughter' came on(You can listen to the song now). I looked around the room and saw Rythian watching me closely from near the stage, I shook my head, tear threatening to fall. I turned back around and left, this time I went around the back and sat crying, holding the necklace in my hands. The only thing that connected me to my old family.... how much I miss them. If only my father had listened to my mothers pleading. I heard someone walk up to me.
"Calm down, Nala. I'm sorry to have upset you but I just want to help you live like a normal kid for once." A Swedish voice said, next to me. I had stopped crying by then but was still upset.
"It wasn't your fault. And if your still offering, I wouldn't mind having a real family for once." I said, quietly. Rythian pulled me in closer and I snuggled up to him, watching the moon rise.
"I am glad you have chosen that, I know it must of been hard for you." he said, soothingly. "Come on, I'll take you back to your place and you can get your stuff and drop it off at your new home." I nodded and we both got up and got in his car.
