Adopted by Joe Sugg

maisie's pov:
"i don't want to get up, he won't even choose me anyway" i argued against sarah the social worker here at the care home
"today might be your lucky day" she spoke back in a soft tone
i sighed
"you say that every time"
"come on, 10 minutes and you'll be ready, i've got your breakfast downstairs" sarah walked away back downstairs
"i'm not even hungry" i mumbled to myself and got up

the thing is, i'm 15 years old. that's 10 years too old to get adopted. no one wants a teenager, especially me who suffers from anxiety, depression and anorexia. life tough but i have to get along with it. my mum passed away when i was 10 and my dad sent me here, obviously because he didn't want me anymore. i only have one friend and her name is lily, she's been there for me through the most and she means the world to me.
i get ready and make my way downstairs
sarah is in her office talking to the man who's coming round to adopt today. i see my breakfast on the side, avocado on toast. i walk over to the bin and throw it in. it's a waste but i'm not eating.
i make my way over to the sofa with the other girls. i'm the oldest child in the care thank god so i sometimes boss the kids about.

"can everyone be nice, joe is coming around to talk to each of you" sarah raised her voice and awkwardly stood joe next to her. he looks familiar

everyone replied in unison
"yes miss" and i just chuckled to myself, they sound ridiculous.
i get out my phone and go onto instagram and search up joe and the first one that comes up is him
joe sugg. wow that's where i knew him from. i used to watch him on youtube when i was younger
"i see you know who i am then" a deep voice spoke from infront of me
"o-oh shit sorry, i just recognised you from somewhere" i turned my phone off and smiled at him
he laughed at my awkwardness
"it's fine, what's your name may i ask?" he speaks sitting next to me on the couch
"my name is maisie and i'm 15 years old" i put my head down
"is everything alright?" he asked noticing the doubt in my voice
"y-yeh everything is fine. it's just that no one wants an older kid anymore" i sighed and looked into his ocean eyes
"i do, in fact i was talking to sarah about you earlier, you seem perfect as you're old enough to be hime alone and can look after yourself as with my job i'm very busy" he smiled putting a hand onto my shoulder and i smiled again
"maisie, would you like to be adopted my me?" he asked looking worried
"of course, i would love to be adopted by you" i hugged him
"let's get ready to go then" he laughed at my eagerness
"sorry, i just can't wait to get out of this shit hole" i jumped up and ran up the stairs leaving him shocked on the sofa.

joes pov:
i'm so happy she want me to adopt her. i cannot wait for what's to come. i feel like we have a good bond and nothing was really awkward.
maisie ran back down the stairs after 10 minutes full packed up and put her shoes on
"what're we waiting for" she laughed and i laughed back. she's actually quite funny
"aweee maisie i'll miss you" sarah came from behind me hugging maisie. she sounded like she was crying
"i'll be fine sarah, if i need anything i'll text you" she spoke back smiling at her
"see you later sarah, come on little one" i said taking maisie's hand and we walked out of the door and got into my car
"how far away do you live from her" maisie spoke sounding worried
"about an hour, why love?" i replied facing her
"i get travel sickness" i said quietly
"you'll be okay, if you do feel like you're going to be sick though just tell me" i replied and she nodded her head

maisie's pov:
we got back to joes in one piece. i wasn't sick thank god. his apartments is quite retro and quirky. i love it. my room isn't to big or too small. it's perfect and i'm so lucky.
i sit down on the sofa and stare off out of the window into london
"you okay?" joe said copying my actions
"i'm just so happy and grateful for everything you've done so far for me" i said trying not to cry
"awe mais come here" joe spoke pulling me into a hug
"anything for you" he smiled

" shit, i forgot to text lily about all of this" i scattered and got my phone and went onto her contact
"who's lily?" joe questioned relaxing back into the sofa
"my best friend, we've been friends for ages and i tell her everything and i forgot and now she's going to hate me for fuck sake" i said stressfully
"woah, maisie calm down. i'm sure it'll be fine" joe said calming me down
"sent" i took a deep breathe
"see it's fine" joe smiled
"you know your youtube job thingy?" i asked
"yes" joe chuckled and i don't know what to call it
"tell me more about it" i said facing him
"okay well i made a youtube account copying my sister as it looked fun and it turned into a job and now i get paid to upload a video to the internet along with other things" he said passionately
i nodded my head
"actually i need your opinion, i've been offered a spot on strictly come dancing and i don't know what to do about it?" he said a little uncomfortable
"are you joking! go for it. it'll be a once in a lifetime opportunity!" i basically shouted at him
"are you sure. i can't dance to save my life" he said unconvinced
"i'm being honest, you should do it. you'll get tought how to dance. you'll be fine" i places my hand in his shoulder
"thank you mais, i'll email them back" he hugged me

i feel like he's more like an older brother to me but i love it. i've haven't felt this live in a long time
