Chapter 2

Shawn walked into the room ebony was staying in at the hospital and saw her asleep. Then lassitor walked in. "shawn you need to leave the room the girl's mother is here" he said. Shawn looked over at ebony. Then her eyes fluttered open. He smiled and left the room. Then ebony's mother walked in and sat down by the bed. "you idiot" she said. Ebony glared at her and flipped her off. Then her mother slapped her. "listen you little slut were going home today and after this you'll never see day light again" she said. Ebony looked away. "you little bitch pay attention when im talking to you!" she yelled. She started to strangle ebony but then let go. Ebony looked up at only to be punched in the face. Ebony's mother left the room. "where are you going?" asked lassitor. "that's not my daughter" she said leaving the hospital. "so what do we do?" asked juliet. "she'll be put in foster care" said lassitor. "not yet…cant we wait till tomorrow? She's been through a lot" said juliet. "who would she stay with?" asked lassitor. "with me" said shawn. "are you sure?" asked juliet. "yah" said shawn.

Shawn had taken the girl to his house after signing her out of the hospital. "so you want something eat?" he asked. She nodded. "what you wanna eat?" he asked. She shrugged. "How 'bout a hamburger" he said. She nodded. She ate her food and then looked up at him. She got up and left the room. "where are you going?" he asked. She didn't answer. Shawn started to watch tv . An hour passed . Then she came out of the room wearing the pajamas juliet had given her. She walked over to him and hugged him and left the room. He saw her walk into the spare room.

_the next day_

Shawn had made pancakes. Ebony walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table. He put a plate of pancakes in front of her and a glass of milk. Ebony pushed the glass of milk away. "you don't like milk?" he asked. She shook her head. He poured her a glass of fruit punch and she started eating. "they told me your going to be put in foster care" he said. She looked up at him and had a sad look of her face. "you don't wanna go" he said. She shook her head. And idea popped into shawns head. "what if I adopted you" he said. she looked up and nodded. "you want me to?" he asked. She nodded.
