Adopted by Phan • Part One

5 - moving in with Phan

Exactly a year. That was what I woke up thinking. Exactly a year since I met the 2 amazing men who would be adopting me.

It was the 1st August and I woke up at 8am - late for me. My room was full of all my things in boxes and bags. I had 3 boxes and 4 bags because I didn't own a lot. I went downstairs and grabbed a slice of toast and I ate it while packing the rest of my things. I put on my makeup and packed it all away. I looked around me, the walls which were once filled with posters, were now bare. The desk which was once filled with art, books and homework was empty. My bathroom, once filled with random smelling shampoos and fruity soap was empty. Everything was empty. I packed all of my toiletries into my pixel people backpack put it in the pile of items I owned ready to take them down.

I stayed in my room until Brendon, one of the workers, came and told me we should start taking my things down as he had a feeling Dan and Phil would be here soon. I couldn't wait to get out of these four walls. Once everything was downstairs, I returned to my room and sat on what used to be my bed and scrolled through Tumblr. I noticed a post from Dan, which had been ReBlogged by Phil which said "Exciting things happening today. You'll all see what soon enough but give Phil and I some time off social media if we need it." - I smiled down at my phone and ReBlogged it, quoting "Enjoy the time off boys, spend it with the people who matter and who you care about because you never know what tomorrow will bring". Both of them followed my blog about general fangirling because they stalked me until they found me which I was proud of them for because it was usually me doing the stalking. I saw a text from Phil pop up on my screen "We will see you soon our little lion, we are just stuck in traffic but hopefully it clears up soon xx" There was a selfie of him and Dan pulling a sad face which made me chuckle as I replied with "Awh, Don't worry how long you take. I'm literally just scrolling on Tumblr and writing about my crazy year. As if we have known eachother for a year, its gone too quick!"

Phil: What do you mean its gone quick? Since we met you we knew you would be the perfect addition to our dream family. All we have wanted is to call you our own little lion and today marks a year since we began to feel that way. I wish you could have moved in quicker but life isn't always like that. It is sent to test us and it shows courage to be able to wake up and smell the teabags.

Me: Smell the teabags? Isn't the phrase 'wake up and smell the coffee'. Ahh the sweet scent of the drugs. Mmmm caffeine....

Phil: Oh yeah it is. Dan also said he is glad you like coffee because now he has a coffee friend and that I will be the only tea drinker.

Me: Don't think you're that special. I drink tea if i'm ill or desperate. And tea has caffeine, i'm sure I heard that somewhere...

Phil: Possibly, anyway, I think we are nearly there so make sure you have got everything because yeahhh.

I put my phone in the pocket of my jeans and put on my Little Mix 'Lets Get Weird' hoodie the home got me for my 13th Birthday. I heard someone at the door so I ran downstairs to greet Dan and Phil. They hugged me tightly and we all put my things into the back of Phil's car, which was being driven by Dan. I quickly said goodbye to everyone and as I was about to leave, my best friend handed me a card everyone had signed and a package I was told to not open until my birthday. I hugged her and cried a little bit but then I left to begin the next adventure of my life!
