Chapter 9

HIRO'S POV

"Guys, what do I do?" said a voice.

"I don't know, but look, he's stirring! Said another.

I groggily opened my eyes to see a group of young adults. And then I remember. Tadashi knelt down to my height and sat on the bed. "Hey sport, I was thinking today we'd go down and get your stuff and I could become your legal guardian! How does that sound?" he asked me. I nodded my head, and sat up.

I grinned, remembering how Tadashi saved me from Peter last night.

Tadashi picked me up and brought me to what looked like his room, his friends in tow.

He sat me down on the bed and pulled out a shirt and a hoodie that looked too small for him. He handed them to me, and I changed my shirt.

It was kinda big, considering my small frame, and the jacket was too.

"Come on, want some breakfast?" He asked me.

I nodded and followed him down the hall. We all sat down and the tall blonde girl gave everyone a bagel and butter.

"Hiro, this is Honey," Tadashi said pointing to the blonde girl.

He then motioned to the black-haired girl with the purple streak. "that's GoGo," he said. "and that's Fred and Wasabi," he poined to the other two boys.

We ate in silence, and him and I started towards the door. His friends went back to their apartments, and we walked down the stairs and out of the main doors.

As we walked, we talked as well.

"Hiro, are the people that you lived with mean?" he asked me, and I nodded.

"Do you get to go to school?" I nodded again.

"when I went out, I was trying to get to the old house to get my robot for the science fair," I explained. "but Peter caught me."

He sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

We finally reached the adoption center and we walked inside.

We walked up to the desk and the lady asked our names and ages.

"I'm Tadashi Hamada, 20n years old, and that's my little brother, Hiro Hamada, and he's 12," Tadashi told the lady. "We've been in separate foster homes for 5 years, and I would like to now become his legal guardian. The lady nodded and asked Tadashi for his ID. While they were talking, I was thinking about all the great things me and Tadashi would do together.

When we left the agency, we walked to my old foster home. Tadashi knocked on the door, and a minute later Peter opened it.

"So, you finally brought the little brat back? Get in here, runt," Peter said, grabbing my arm and pulling me inside. I yelped and fell on the floor behind him, and everyone laughed eccept for Tadashi.

"I'm here to get his things, I am his brother and I've become his legal guardian." Tadashi said, looking Peter in the eye.

Everyone grew silent, and Tadashi shoved past Peter.

He helped me up.

"Where is your room, Hiro?" he asked me.

I pointed upstairs. I could feel everyone's eyes on us.

We walked upstairs, and I pointed towards my room. I walked in, and Max wasn't in there. He wasn't downstairs either.

While Tadashi got all my stuff, I walked downstairs.

"Where's Max?" I asked no one in particular.

"He got adopted." Someone said. I nodded and went upstairs. I didn't even get a chance to say thank you to Max.

Tadashi and I walked back down stairs when someone spoke up.

"Why do you want him?" one kid said.

"Yeah who would want Hiro?" another said.

I felt tears grow in my eyes, and I turned and ran out the door. I could hear Tadashi run after me, but I kept running until I felt myself flying.

I opened my eyes and hit the ground. I had tripped and fell down the hill next to the houses.

I just layed there until I heard Tadashi come up to me and felt him pick me up.
