Adopted by O2L

Chapter 2

I woke up and woke Cece up. We started laughing about last night.

"Hey, I'm going out for the day. Wanna come?" I ask.

"No thanks, I'm gonna practice my music today. Have fun though." She says.

"Alright." I reply and get changed.

I put on a tank top, jean shorts, and slipped on my light pink high top converse. I brushed my hair and teeth, and pulled my bangs to one side. I threw on a grey SnapBack and grabbed my wallet and phone. Only me and Cece are allowed to leave on our own, so we have phones in case we needed to come back. I grab my penny board and go downstairs.

I ride around the neighbourhood and stop at the park. I sit on the bench under a tree where I usually sit. I sit there for a while and just think. I think about everything from adoption, to talking animals. I don't know what got me to think of that but I did.

A phone call pulled me out of my thoughts. It was Evelyn. She's the owner and headmaster of the orphanage.

"Hello?" I as swear the phone.

"Jaclyn I need you back here in 15 minutes. Some people are coming to adopt!" She tells me.

"Mkay. I'll be right there." I start riding back and stop to get a drink.

I ride up to a seven-eleven and grab an Arizona. I pay for it and ride back to the orphanage. As I get to the front door, I stuff my unopened Arizona into my back pocket. I opened up Instagram on my phone and popped my board in my hand. I smile at a few of the O2L guys' new photos and decide to look through every one of them. I walk inside not taking my eyes off my phone.

"Jaclyn! You're late! I told you be here 10 minutes ago!" Evelyn yelled.

"It's Jaycee." I say still not looking up from my phone.

"Not right now it isn't! People are here looking to adopt! What are you doing so important on your phone that you can't look at me?" She yells so the whole room can hear. Everyone goes quiet waiting for me to answer.

"Stalking O2L on Instagram." I say like it's nothing, smiling at another picture.

"Just get on stage Jaclyn." She says annoyed.

"Why? It's not like I'm going to get adopted anyways." I murmur as I walk onto the stage into place. I prop my board against my leg, and pull my Arizona out of my pocket. I don't care if I'm on stage, it won't matter anyways. I pop it open and take a sip. I smile and see that Ricky posted a new photo. When I saw it I literally dropped my phone.

{Ricky's POV}

We just got to the orphanage. SOMEONE in O2L decided he wants to adopt a daughter. That someone is Jc. Of all people, Jc. All the girls there are really young except one who's 13. We were talking to her and she didn't exactly seem like she would fit in with us. We were all deciding to leave, when another girl walked in.

The owner yelled at her for being late but she hasn't looked up from her phone. From what we heard, her name was Jaclyn and she was stalking us on Instagram... Okay. She gets up on the stage and props her skateboard on her leg smiling at her phone. Not looking up yet. She pulls a can of Arizona out of her back pocket and pops it open, taking a sip. I decide to try to get her attention through Instagram. I pull out my phone and snap a selfie of me pointing to her in the background. I write the caption,

'The guys and I want to adopt a daughter... I like this girl. Her names Jaclyn and from what I can see, she likes skateboarding and drinking Arizona.'

I post the picture to Instagram and seconds later I hear a thud. I look up to see Jaclyn's phone on the ground, and her mouth was open. She was looking straight at me with hope in her eyes. I look to the others, and they all nod. I look back at her and nod, motioning for her to come over.

{Jaycee's POV}

I looked at the people looking to adopt. Ricky. Connor. Jc. Sam. Trevor. Kian. They're all here. And Ricky already likes me.

Ricky looks to the guys, as do I. They all look back to him and nod. He looks back up to me and motions for me to come over. I grab my phone and board, and walk over to them. We all walk over to the two couches in the room and sit down.

"So, Jaclyn, what do you like to do?" Sam asks.

I look between my phone, Arizona, and penny board. If I could describe me in less than 5 words, those three plus music.

"You're pretty much looking at at!" I say. "And I play ukulele and piano... And sing a little."

"Wow." Says Sam.

Mrs.Evelyn comes over to talk while we're laughing our asses off. She pulls me up and starts talking. I don't listen though.

The boys all look at each other. They all nod before Evelyn talks again.

"Say goodbye Jaclyn. It's time for them to meet someone else." She tells me.

I wave at them with a shy/sad smile and turn away. But before I can even take a step Jc grabs my wrist, stoping us from walking. He smiles at me, then at Evelyn.

"We'll take her." He says smiling at me with that cute, Jc smile.
