The soft moonlight casted it gaze on the rolling fields making them visible in the dark night. A single car was driving down a long road filled with unlit houses. In the car held two people one driving the car and one in the back asleep. The driver is a grown male, with sunny blonde hair, light skin, and dark bags under his eyes. The person in the back is a teenage female with fiery red hair, light tan skin, and filled with exhaustion.
Moving from foster house to foster house takes a lot out of a person. Especially the last one who wasn't as kind to her. But that's why she is moving to a different house. Her social worker, Mike, came for an expectation and noticed the bruises the girl enough of her past life, she has the future to look forward to. Or what one of her adoptive mother said.
"Bloom wake up, we're here" Mike's soft voice woke the girl from her sleep on with a smile she didn't return
Quickly she grabbed her bag and followed her social worker up a path and onto the porch of a big house. One room was lit near the door so once Mike knocked on the door it wasn't long until someone came to answer it.
The person who answered the door was a grown female that looked to be in her late 20s or early 30s. She has light brown skin with black hair that was up in a bun. She was in a suit that complimented with her figure and had a loving smile. Next to her was a taller male that hovers over all of them. He was lighter than the woman and had barely any hair. He was dressed in a regular black dress pants and a white button down.
"Hello, you must be Mr. And Mrs. Washington" Mike smiled revealing the wrinkles near his eyes
"Please Martha and George will do just fine" Martha said shaking both Mike and Bloom's hand
"This is Bloom" Mike said still smiling gently pushing Bloom more towards the Washington's
"Nice to meet you young lady" George said with a smile holding his hand out with she eventually took and shook
"Right back at you" she said not showing any emotions which conflicted the couple on the inside
"It's late and you look tired, how about I show you to your room so you can go to sleep" Martha said with a smile and gestured the girl to follow her which she did
"And one more thing before I leave" Mike said talking to George once the two left
"She was an orphan since birth and some of the foster homes she was in, how do I put this, wasn't respective towards her...so this might be a new environment for her" Mike said looking after the girl
"No need to worry she's in good hands" George said smiling at the man and closed the door once he left
"This will be your room, now across from your room is mine and George, and down the hall is our foster son's room" Martha said with a smile opening the door for Bloom
If Bloom was shocked about the house she was more shocked about the room. It was bigger than what she had expected with the colors cream, baby pink, and gold. The queen size bed against the cream colored wall was decorated with baby pink sheets and quilt with pink and gold pillows. At the end of the bed on the floor laid a cream colors rug against the wood floor. A cream colored desk had a chair that was pink and decorated with gold which was far from the bed and near the window. The bathroom was across from her bed and the closet was next to the bathroom and was wide enough for her little bit of clothes.
"Nice colors" Bloom said with a little smile to Martha as she stepped in and placed her bag on the bed
"Thank you George wanted to have it all white but I told him it'll look like she would be staying in the hospital" the woman smiled proudly looking around the room she decorated
A quick image popped into the teenager's head. A image she dreaded once sure said the color white. It just reminded her of the sickening white skin and the full white hair that-
"Are you hungry? I can make something for you beforehand you go to sleep" Martha interrupted her thought with a loving smile
"If it's not out of your way" Bloom said with a smile
"Of course it's not I was just about to make dinner anyways, you could start unpacking and come down stairs in about ten minutes" Martha said at her doorway
"Thank you" Bloom smiled and turned to her bag once Martha went to the kitchen
She looked at her clothes and placed them where she would like for them to go. The last thing in the bottom of her bag, which was the first thing she packed, was a picture of her first family. Not her biological family but a family that she was raised that made her into what she loves. A mother, a brother, and herself smiling happy at the camera. She smiled, place the picture frame on the nightstand, went downstairs, and followed the smell of food into the kitchen
"You're just in time I finished making dinner" Martha said placing a plate in from of an empty chair for her
"Thank you Mrs. Washington" Bloom said sitting straight and waited until she served herself and Mr. Washington to eat
"Oh please Martha will do just fine" Martha said sitting down next to George and grabbed his hand
"So Bloom tell us about yourself" George said taking a bit of his food and watched as she did the same thing
"Well I'm pretty sure you know about me being a orphan since birth, but I really like to draw and paint. Im also into health studies slash law...it's a weird combination but they both are interesting" Bloom said looking between her new foster parents and her food
"Well that's great because Martha is actually running for district attorney" George said smiling at the redhead and gently squeezing her hand
"That's so cool! Who's your opponent? How many cases have you won? are you for the prosecution of defense?" Bloom said excitedly with a twinkle in her eyes which caused the Washington's to be shocked
"Sorry I didn't mean to attack you with questions" Bloom said blushing slightly then turn back to the attention of her food
"No it's okay, it's okay, I don't mind these questions. Well as far as I know Isabella Lee is the only person running against me now after the other opponent backed out" Martha said smiling at the girl who was keeping eye contact with her
"At least it's a 50-50 chance of your victory just don't gloat about the amount of cases you won and focus on promising justice to come in all sizes even in the smallest of cases" Bloom said going back to her food
"Thank you for the advice I will be sure to use it" Martha said with a wide smile
"I must say I am surprised, usually the children are just excited about politics or fashion" Martha said finishing her food
"It's nice to have someone enjoying the same thing I am" they all smiled and continue eating until Bloom broke the silence
"You mention two other foster kids?"
"Oh yes our sons, they should be home any minute now… They went with their friends to the movies" Martha said as Bloom washed her dish off once she was finished with it.
"Maman, Papa! We're home!" A young male's voice with a thick French accent announced from the front door
"Speak of the devil's" George said with a smile before rinsing his plate off and walk towards the living room
"Boys this is Bloom, Bloom this is Lafayette-"
Martha introduced a young male around the age of 15-17. His hair was poofed into a ponytail with a shine that complimented his caramel skin tone. He obviously had a passion for fashion with his dark blue designer jeans, same colored t-shirt, and black vans.
"And this is-"
"¿Alejandro?" Bloom whispered in disbelief and watched as a boy, in the same age range as Lafayette, jerked his head up to the sound of his name said in Spanish
Alexander?
"¿Florecer?" He said also in disbelief that the girl standing in front of him can be the same girl that his mother adopted before she died
Bloom?
She looks like her, the hair always up in a bun, blue cyan eyes staring into his chocolate brown. Light freckles over the bridge of her nose and down onto the tops of her cheeks. And compared to him, her short height. Of course she did change somewhat with the bigger bun on her head which meant that she has long hair. Her body growing into womanhood, making Lafayette think that if he wasn't gay then he would totally be all over her.
"¡Alejandro!" Bloom ran to him and was enveloped in his arms forming a hug where they both shed a few tears
Alexander!
The room was quiet and somewhat filled with a light cloud of awkwardness. The two grown ups, Lafayette, and the three young males that were behind Alexander one slightly jealous, the other curious, and the final one star stuck. The two broke away from their hug and looked at each other before Alex picked her up and spun around on his heels with them both laughing.
"Pensé que fuiste adoptado por algunos ingleses" Alex said still in disbelief as he set her down hugging her tight as if she was going to leave again. She shook her head still having a huge smile on her face and copied his hug
I thought you were adopted by some englishmen
"no, nunca fui adoptado" she whispered in his ear and sighed relieved that her new home is a home where her brother was adopted to
No I was never adopted
They stayed like that until a cough disrupted their hug. Alex let go of her put kept his arm dropped over her shoulders with a big smile on both of their faces.
"Guys this is my sister Bloom" Alex said making the three other young male drop their jaw in shock and the parents to be shocked first then happy that they finally get to have the two siblings together at last
"Sister?" John said in disbelief that Alex had a sister, that was so beautiful. His heart fluttered in his chest as he kept his eyes on her. He could believe how beautiful a person can be until he saw this foster girl
"Yea, not blood siblings though...my mother adopted her but we grew up together so she is my sister" Alex said with a smile and pulled her into a side hug
"c'est agréable de vous rencontrer, alex ne vous a jamais mentionné!" Lafayette said forgetting to speak English but eventually realized it
It's nice to meet you, Alex never mentioned you!
"I apologize, I sometimes forget to speak English" Lafayette said putting his hand out for her to shake which she did
"vous allez bien, je comprends le français aussi" Bloom said causing the French to smile and pull her into a hug
You're fine, I understand French too
"Parlez-vous couramment?" Lafayette pushed her away playfully still having his hand on her shoulders
Do you speak fluently?
"Oui" she smiled and let out a small gasp when she was pulled back into a bone crushing hug
Yes
"Oui! Alex a oublié certains de ses français" he said letting her go as he playfully rolled his eyes
Yes! Alex forgot some of his French
"I didn't forget it, I just had no reason to use it my previous foster homes so they just slipped out my head" Alex said shrugging his shoulders with a smile from Bloom
"This is our friend Hercules" Lafayette said pointing to a taller African American male with shorter hair than Lafayatte's, he wore a bandana across his head and had on dark blue jeans, and a plain black t shirt.
"Pleasure to meet you" he said with a warm smile which she graciously returned
"Right back at you" she said already liking his personality
"And this is John" Lafayette said gesturing to a boy who has been silent, staring at the girl before her in awe, until he heard his name
He wore his poofy into a low ponytail, had on a dark blue plain t shirt, black leather jacket, black jeans and black vans. She felt her breath stop in her throat when she laid eyes on him. She felt connected to him in no other way she felt before. The way he presented himself allured the girl and she believed that she couldn't stop it.
"Pleasure to meet you" she said with a smile and held her hand out which he nervously took
His face flushed when he touched her hand, her smooth skin allured him making him want more of her skin. Making him want more of her, he shook the thoughts out of his head and tried to act as normal as he can around this girl that he barely knows.
"I'm John, everybody calls me Laurens though" He finally let go of her hand which he didn't realize he held for so long and rubbed the back of his neck
"Okay John" she smiled again at him and turned her attention to the final person in line
"And this if Thomas Jefferson-"
"él es mi novio" Alex said standing between Thomas and Bloom waiting for a reaction from his sister
He is my boyfriend
She looked between the couple the immediate squealed with happiness
"¡Dios mío, es tan agradable conocer a alguien que le gusta mi hermano!"She said giving Thomas a huge hug shocking both Alex and Jefferson
My God, it's so nice to meet someone who likes my brother!
"I'm sorry I'm getting ahead of myself" She recollected herself with a smile as the two laugh
"It's okay, Darling" Thomas said laughing a bit at her statement
By that time the two adults left to let the siblings catch up with each other. And the six teenagers sat on the couch listening and asking questions about the new foster kid.
"So Bloom how many foster homes have you been to before you came here?" Lafayatte said intrigued with this girl that he can already call his younger sister
"Well if you're including this one then nine" she said causing them to raise their eyebrows
"I know it's a lot but I've been around the world it doesn't even bother me" Bloom said shrugging her shoulders
"Where have you been?" Laurens asked holding back the sensation of grabbing her hand that laid freely off the edge of the couch
"Well I first started out on Nevis, then England, France, back to England, Austria, Greece, Australia, California, and now here in Virginia" Bloom said moving her head in a swaying motion to show the places of back and forth
"Oh! quelle partie de france" Lafayette said excitedly
Oh! Which part of France
"Paris" Bloom said causing Lafayette to sick into his seat
"That's too bad...I'm from Chavaniac-Lafayette" Laf said shrugging his shoulders
"I can tell" Bloom said smiling with a small laugh
"I hate to be an interruption but I have to be heading home" Thomas said standing up which was quickly followed with Alex doing the same exact thing
"I'll walk you to your car" He said with a smile, cautiously grab his hand and walk towards his car
"Now Bloom since Alex have left I'm pretty sure we're all dying to know if you have any relationships" Lafayette said giving a secretive wink to the boy with freckles on his face
"Uh, nope...no boyfriend, never had one" she said leaving off the never will part because with this boy with all of the freckles she hopes to change that
"No! I do not believe you!" Lafayette said shockingly at the red head girl who laughed at his statement
"I kid you not, I never seen the purpose of having a boyfriend" she smiled and laughed at their exclaims, mostly from Lafayette, and pulled her hand up to hold her head up
"I think we'll let you go for tonight, you look tired" Hercules said with a smile which was returned with a thankful one from the red head
"I'll see you guys later I guess" she stretched and left them, after she bid her goodnight, to her room and fell asleep peacefully in a long time.
