CHECK OUT THEIR STORIES!

Check out another story written by MusicMusicMusic called Fate Brings us Together!, I helped write it!

Kim POV

Mika and I rushed over to her house since Mika lived a few blocks away. We got inside and Mika's parents were asking us questions left and right.

"Kim what happened?!", "Are you ok?", "Are either of you hurt?", and so on..

I noticed they have better English than Mika does.

I sat down on the couch and explained everything to Mika's mom and dad. They didn't interrupt once. I was telling them everything and tears were making their way to my chin as I was finishing my story.

Mika's parents were thinking for a few minutes and then they decided to call the police. They would know what to do.

At the Police Station:

We sat in a big office at the police station. There were two police men in there and one other guy that I didn't recognize.

"Okay Kimberly, I want you to explain everything to us. And by everything, I mean don't leave out a single detail," said the officer as nice as he could.

II told them everything about my parents getting a divorce and Dad moving to Brazil. Then I told them about what happened when I came home from Phil's. I left out the part where i was dreaming about kissing Jack. Hey, he doesn't have to know all the minor details.. The other officer then asked me if I have any living relatives. Surprisingly, I didn't. My parents were only children and my grandparents had died a few years back.

The other guy looked my family history and records and did a few background check a out me. He checked into both my parents medical records to see if either of them were on drugs. Neith of them were.

"Kim, we will be placing you in foster care with trustable guardians," said the police man.

"What?! No, I can't, th-there has to be another option. Please," I said unable to believe what I'd just heard.

"Excuse me, but I know my daughter and Kim are great friends. I love Kim as my own daughter. Instead of putting her in foster care, maybe our family can adopt her," said Mika's mom confidently.

My face broke out in a huge smile. This was the first time I'd smiled all day. "Please. I'll do anything. Can they adopt me? Please?"I pleaded to them.

One of the officers said, "Ma'am in order for that to happen, there's going to be a lot of paperwork to deal with and a lot of expenses to be paid. "

Mika's parents both replied, "Anything. We can fill out as much stuff as we need to, and we definitely don't care about the money right now."

I jumped up and hugged the whole family as tight as I could. "Thank you SO MUCH. I have never been more grateful in my life."

They all smiled.

The police officer said that Mika's mom and dad will both be required to get background checks. They will have to meet with an adoption agency in the area. Then they will need to get their house checked out for me. After that, the adoption will get finalized by the judges. It could take up to 6 months.

We were all willing to wait as long as we needed to.

I realized that I would be Mika's sister! We both grinned and high fived each other! I would have a sister! I would stay at Mika's house with them until the adoption was finalized. I got all my stuff from my house and brought it over to Mika's house. They had a huge house so there was plenty of room for me. In fact, they had 7 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 garages, and have a нuge basement. I was in Mika's house so much, that it felt like my third home. Second being Jack. We all went to bed and caught up on our sleep. I stayed awake for quite a while. I realized, that as of right now, I was technically an orphan. I sobbed into my pillow and slowly, cried myself to sleep. (I know, so sad..)

In the morning Mika's parents, Mika, and I went to the dojo and explained everything to Rudy. I asked him if I can take the day off from practice. Mika and her parents stood up and left so I could talk to Rudy alone.

"Rudy, do you think you can try not mentioning this during practice? Especially not in front of Jack. He already has a plate overflowing and I just don't want to add more stress to his life."

Rudy nodded and asked, "are you going to tells the rest of the guys?"

I squirmed around on the couch . "I don't know Rudy.."

"How about I tell the guys for you?" asked Rudy.

"Thanks Rudy. That means a lot," replied to him.

"Are you sure you don't want to tell Jack?" Rudy questioned.

"I'm sure. I know he might get upset when he finds out I didn't tell him. But he'll understand.
He's already having a hard time with Bella dying and now this scholarship. And I don't want to influence his decision on the scholarship. I looked up and smiled at Rudy. Thanks again, Rudy."

"No problem, Kim."
