A.N./ I'm in a very good mood. I don't know why but it is the perfect time to update! :) So, I'm going to try and have the social worker come in in this chapter. I don't know if it'll work out that way but I want to write in her point of view because of the things I want to put in her point of view. If she's not in this chapter she might be in the next...or the one after that. Depends on my mood, and if I don't screw this up. I should really plan these things. Oh well. I don't really care.
[Near's point of view]
Near sat in Mello's lap as they waited for the social worker to arrive. Mello said she would be here any minute so they should just wait for her but thirty minutes had already passed since he said that and Near was starting to wonder if the woman would ever show up.
"Mewwo?" Near blinked his eyes and stared up at Mello.
"Yeah?" Apparantly Mello could not just automatically tell what Near wanted to say like the rest of the people in the cramped living room could.
"When is she going to be here?"
"I told you she would be here soon, did I not?" Mello practically snapped at Near.
"Mello, or should I say Mihael, it's been thirty minutes already. Shouldn't you call and make sure she knew to come today?" Light said before Near could start bawling his eyes out at Mello's mean comment.
"Fine!"
[Mello's point of view]
Mello pushed Near off his lap feeling a little irratated that the damned woman had not shown up yet. He figured she knew that he wanted her here right this damned minute!
Right when Mello was thinking of actually calling her, the door bell rang.
"Coming!" Mello called out. He heard Misa let out a snicker. He ignored it and pulled the door open to reveal a petite woman with dark brown hair and glasses that covered her ever green eyes.
"I'm here!" She chirped as Mello moved to the side letting her in. He wasn't sure that this was the right woman to be coming her. She just seemed so... slow.
"Yes, you are." He quietly said in a mocking tone hoping the woman didn't hear him.
"I am Lisa Anne Maria Dawn Lynn Wanda Skylar Mercades Garner!" ...He didn't even want to comment on that.
"That is a long name." Misa said.
"YOU, my blonde loli pop, can call me Lisa Anne or Miss Garner. Whichever you prefer is fine by me." She added with a smile in her voice. Everything about this woman seemed so... happy. It was weird. The creepy kind of weird, not the good kind of weird. She was the kind of person Mello loathed.
[Lisa Anne's point of view]
Lisa Anne was not sure how to act when she saw who opened the door. Usually she acted all cheerful to get on the kid's, whoever she was called there for, good side. She wasn't sure that she should act that way when she saw a blonde man dressed in black leather open the door. The rest of the people in the apartment weren't much better.
First, there was a blonde goth woman. Second, there was a creepy pedophile looking man with a loli pop in his mouth. Third, there was a brown headed woman sleeping while sitting up. The third wasn't that creepy but she still didn't feel like she wanted to get closer to her.
The only person in the whole apartment that seemed to dress decent besides the child on the couch was a short brunette with beautiful honey colored eyes. She would not have minded taking him for a ride if you caught her drift.
"I assume you are the little cutie that I'm supposed to be letting this guy take care of." She smiled happily down at the child on the couch. He just nodded in response.
"Okay! First off, what's your name, sugar?" She found it odd that he was all white except his gray eyes but ignored it saying in her mind that God made everyone different.
"Near." ...Of course he wouldn't tell her his real name.
"That's a cute name, Near. Do you know your social security number?" He obviously didn't. What kid actually knew their social security number?
"No..."
"Well, this place seems alright." By alright she meant that it was much better than the woman who kept the refridgerator key around her neck and wouldn't let the kids eat or drink anything. It was also better than that one man's home where he molested his foster children. She couldn't even do anything about it since none of them would step forward and tell her what was happening in the house. She felt so sorry for those kids but this was happening every day and there was nothing she could do to stop it unless they came to her and told her what was going on.
"I think I'm done here. I'll be back in a few weeks and if all check out then you can adopt him." With that Lisa Anne Maria Dawn Lynn Wanda Skylar Mercades Garner left the apartment going to go file her report on it.
[Near's point of view.]
Near had never known a social worker to stay for such a short amount of time. Usually all of his social workers looked worried like they didn't really want to leave him in there in that house. He didn't mind though. How could he ever be upset? He got to stay with Mello. Soon he would be enrolled in school and he would get to learn!
"Mihael! Mello! Mihael! Mello! I get to stay with Mihael! Mello!" Near started bouncing up and down on the couch to show his excitement. Mello came over and lifted him into his arms.
"Yes, that's right. You get to stay with me." Near squealed with joy and squeezed Mello as tight as his seven year old arms would let him.
"I'm so glad. I love Mello!"
"There there. I love you too."
A.N./ I thought that felt like a good place to end it. Did I do good? I hope so. This only took me like thirty minutes so it might not be that good. I don't really care. I'm in a good mood!
