Chapter 4
-Becca's POV-
"Wake up!" I heard a male's voice command me in my sleep. I suddenly woke up and realized it was Randy. He was hovering me. "You got to get up." I rubbed my eyes and noticed it was 7am.
I stretched my arms out. "Why do I have to wake up? We just got here like 3 hours ago." We had just arrived in Ohio at about 4am and I was dying to get some sleep. Randy sighed. "Vince found a family; they want to meet you. They will be here in a half hour, you should got take a shower and get changed." I sighed this is going to be fun.
I dragged my still half asleep body to my bag. I picked out clothes and walked into the bathroom. I flicked the light on and I started to see stars because of the light. I let it pass and started the shower.
I took my time with the shower and got out and changed. I brushed out my dark brown hair and brushed my teeth. I walked out back in the room and noticed John wasn't there. I looked at Randy. "W-.."
He cut me off before I could get it out. "Gym, he'll be back later."
I nodded and sat on the couch. There was a knock at the door. Randy got up to get it. "It must be them." Joy. I was going to say it out loud but I knew Randy would have something to say about it. I still haven't actually had a full conversation with him since yesterday.
Vince walked in with a smile on his face; followed back a couple. They had to be in their forties. I cracked the knuckles on my fingers; it seemed to be a habit I picked up when I was little.
After chatting with Randy; they approached me. "Becca, this is Mr. and Mrs. Gates." Vince introduced me. I nodded. "Hi." They smiled. "Becca it is very nice to meet you; Vince has told us lots of good thing about you." The lady said and I looked at Vince; shocked.
He tried to smile it off. "Well how about I let you 3 get to know each other." He walked to the door.
-Randy's POV-
Vince got to me. "Let's give them some time." I shook my head. "I'll stay." Vince just shrugged and walked out. I walked over to the bed and sat down to listen to their conversation.
20 minutes later
Becca told them everything on how she ran away from foster care.
They didn't seem to thrilled. They thought it was stupid, careless, and obnoxious. I seen the male look at the lady. "I think he should take her in; looks like all she needs is some hardcore discipline."
I noticed Becca's eyes widen in fear. That made me get this feeling inside and I acted on that feeling without realizing. "Whoa, hardcore discipline?" I asked the male in disbelief.
The male looked at me. "Who are you, again?" I crossed my arms. "I'm the one who has been taking care of her the past 2 days." He scoffed. "Well you obviously aren't doing a good job; she's a child delinquent. She needs to be disciplined which you don't seem to do."
I rubbed my face to try to calm down. "Just because she has no family, house and was living on the streets doesn't mean she is a child delinquent." He looked up at me. "She has a mouth on her."
Becca shot a glare at him. "It's because I don't like you." The Lady looked at her. "Well you better like him because you're going to be living with us." Becca looked up at me with pleading eyes.
I nodded and looked at them. "You aren't taking her; end of discussion." The male stood up. "Who are you to tell me what I can and cannot do?" I crossed my arms. "It's Vince's decision to decide to let her go with you or not and well I'm just making that decision for him so, If I can kindly ask you to please leave." They stood up.
He looked at me. "You aren't going to find a family for her. No one is going to want her in their house hold; no one." He said before they both exited the room. I looked over at Becca and she ran to her bed.
Vince walked back in. "What in the hell did you do Randy?" "They were going to give her 'Hardcore discipline' Vince! They didn't even care about her!" "Randy that was the only family I could convince to come meet her; you really messed up." He walked out of the room.
I looked at the floor. I don't care if I messed up, there was no way in hell I was letting Becca go with that crazy ass family. Why do I even care? She hates me, I should of let her leave. That look in her eye she gave me when she thought she was leaving. It made me feel like I had to protect her; like it was my job or something.
I decided to go see what the damage was; it's not like she will hold a conversation with me anyway. I sat on the bed. "Becca?" I heard her sniffles under the blanket. I tried again. "Becca?" She removed the blanket and I seen her tear streaked face. I felt really bad.
"Look..-" I was cut off by her crawling into my lap and wrapping her arms around me. I was least say; shocked. I never thought she would talk to me, let alone hug me. I returned it without hesitation though.
I heard her mumble in my chest. I pushed her back a little. "What?"
She swallowed down the tears. "I said no one wants me."
This is a two part chapter.. Next part will be up at the end of the day; hopefully.
