Hey guys this my second Adopted by o2l fanfic but its not a sequel. Hope you guys like it! :)

Elliot's POV

Hi I'm Elliot! I have brown hair and hazel eyes but they change colors everyday. I'm 9 years old and I've lived in Mrs.Baker's Home for Girls my whole life and I learned that once you turn 11 years old you're stuck here. I live here with my big sister/best friend/roommate Avril and my jack russell terrier Darwin. Avril has black hair and her tips dyed blue and she is 12 years old. Technically we're not supposed to have Darwin. We've had him since we were 2 and we couldn't just give him away so we hide him from everyone except Stacy, the only staff member we trust.

Today Mrs.Baker said we were having guests coming to adopt a daughter. The whole process is pretty much like a pageant. You go out and stand on a stage and get asked questions. Then after everyone goes you have to perform a talent you have. Mrs.Baker usually chooses what we do to make us "desirable." Everyone added backround music and Stacy was playing it. Me and Avril weren't getting adopted separately so we did something together. We always choose to sing but Mrs.Baker chooses the song. This time will be different. We told Stacy to play Just One Yesterday by Fall Out Boy instead of what Mrs.Baker picked out.

When it was my turn to be interviewed I was surprised to see 6 guys sitting at the table instead of a couple. I stood on the stage and introduced myself shyly. "Hi I-I'm Elliot." I stuttered.

"Hi I'm Ricky!" the one with the lisp said.

"I'm Connor!" the one with the cat shirt on said.

"Jc here!" the one wearing the snapback said.

"Okay, lets just cut to the chase. I'm Kian. That's Sam. And that's Trevor," the skinny one with the spiky hair said pointing to each boy. I just smiled and waved (Madagascar moment.) "So what do you like?" Connor said. "Well I like hanging out with my big sister, music, art, horseback riding and stuff like that." I said trying not to mention Darwin. "Cool, thats all we need." Ricky said smiling. They waved goodbye and I waved back thinking that I totally blew this interview.

About an hour later me and Avril were ready to go on. We were the last to go. We went on stage and told them what we were doing. Then the music started and we started singing.

I thought of angels

Choking on their halos

Get them drunk on rose water

See how dirty I can get them

Pulling out their fragile teeth

And clip their tiny wings

Anything you say can and will be held against you

So only say my name

It will be held against you

Anything you say can and will be held against you

So only say my name

If heaven's grief brings hell's rain

Then I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday

(I know I'm bad news)

For just one yesterday

(I saved it all for you)

Oh, I want to teach you a lesson in the worst kind of way

Still I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday

(I know I'm bad news)

For just one yesterday

(I saved it all for you)

For just one yesterday

Letting people down is my thing, baby

Find yourself a new gig

This town ain't big enough for two of us

I don't have the right name

Or the right looks

But I have twice the heart

Anything you say can and will be held against you

So only say my name

It will be held against you

Anything you say can and will be held against you

So only say my name (name)

If heaven's grief brings hell's rain

Then I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday

(I know I'm bad news)

For just one yesterday

(I saved it all for you)

I want to teach you a lesson in the worst kind of way

Still I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday

(I know I'm bad news)

For just one yesterday

(I saved it all for you)

For just one yesterday

If I spilled my cards

The world would never look at you the same way

And now I'm here to give you all my love

So I can watch your face as I take it all away, away, away, ay ay ay

If heaven's grief brings hell's rain

Then I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday

(I know I'm bad news)

For just one yesterday

(I saved it all for you)

I want to teach you a lesson in the worst kind of way

Still I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday

(I know I'm bad news)

For just one yesterday

(I saved it all for you)

For just one yesterday

They pretty much sat there staring at us. I guess they didn't think of us as the rock type. They clapped and we left. We chose that song because it was about how we got here. Our parents didn't love us at all and they just left us here. We just wanted a second chance to fix it. We went back to our room and waited petting Darwin.
