Adopted by all time low

Chapter 14

My eyes widen as I look at them "Is it really you?!" I start to cry a bit and alex comes to see who it is.

"hi who are you two exactly?" Alex asks them eyeing them up and down.

"Were her parents" they say like its nothing special. "we want custody" they say monotone.

That causes me to back away. "not happening you may be my parents but this is my home now!" i hug alex they try to reason with me but alex makes them go away. "what if they take us to court and they win and i never see you again?" i start crying. Alex doesn't say a word he just holds me until I fall asleep.

The next morning~

I wake up around noon and get up stretching I look around realizing that I'm in my room. I walk downstairs and grab some orange juice looking around the house realizing that I'm home alone. I turn up the stereo playing 'Not Warriors' by waterparks. As it plays I take a video of myself and send it to Awsten.

A few hours later Alex walks in with a bag from Dunkin Donuts handing it to me. "hey kid how you feeling?" he asks me smiling and sitting down om the edge of my bed.

"Better" I smile and i get a text from zach saying...

zach: we need to talk

me: yea what is it?

zach: im sorry but its not working out between us

me: oh ok

he doesn't respond after that and I tear up "Zach broke up with me" Alex doesnt say anything he just pulls me into a hug.

A few months later~

My parents havent tried anything and im hanging with Johnnie Jake and Charlotte. Charlotte and Jake are starting to fall for eachother and while theyre flirting and Johnnies busy with his guitar I step outside and take a breath. What am I doing with my life? I think to myself, whats my purpose?

Suddenly I hear someone behind me. "Rain you ok?" I turn around to see Johnnie and all i wanna do is say no but i dont. "yea just needed some fresh air" Johnnie nods and I head back inside with him.

Later that night after everyone left and the guys were asleep I lay on my bathroom floor. I stare at the ceiling for a bit before getting up, I write a note leaving it on the fridge saying I went for a walk.

On the walk I stop at the bridge and look over at the water. I grip the bar and step up just enough for my torso to lean over the edge. I then sit on the ledge all of a sudden I feel someone sit next to me. I see that it's Jake "hey buddy you ok?"

"Yea I just needed some fresh air to think." I sigh looking at him. "You're thinking about Zach aren't you?" I sigh again and nod after he asks the question.

"Listen to me it'll get better" he puts an arm around me and I lay my head on his shoulder yawning. Jake picks me up carrying me to my house and up to my room. After laying me on my bed he turns to leave but I grab his hand.

"Stay, please I don't want to be alone." He nods and climbs into bed with me holding me I soon fall asleep.

Nightmare

I wake up in a dark room all alone "Dad! Jack! Rian! Zack! Jake! Anyone!?" I curl up in a ball starting to cry "please don't leave me"

The next morning~

I wake up with tears in my eyes and see Jake sleeping next to me with his arms around me. Alex walks in and looks at me with a mix of shock and anger on his face "get out of bed right now both of you!" Me and Jake then scramble out of bed.

"Dad nothing happened!" I plead my case to him but he wouldn't hear it. "Shut it Rain go downstairs for breakfast!" I stand my ground. "Now!" I groan and walk downstairs.

Alex's pov~

I glare at the boy who was in bed with my daughter "why were you here?"

"I'm sorry mr. Gaskarth I brought her home because she went out on a walk and i was trying to be a gentleman." Jake looks at me with a serious expression as he continues. "I brought her up here and put her in bed but when I started to leave she asked me to stay she didn't want to be alone so I stayed and fell asleep with her. Trust me when I say I wouldnt do anything to hurt her"

He was honest it's what I like about him and Johnnie they were good kids. "I believe you just don't do it again" I smile and he leaves. I walk downstairs where I see Rain poking at her food. "What's wrong babygirl? and don't say nothing cause I already know something's up"

She sighs "I'm just upset over Zach why'd he have to break up with me now when I need him most?"

"That's just how life works sweetheart I'm sorry" I hug her and kiss the top of her head.

Rains pov~

A bit later Charlotte and I watch a few movies, ride our skateboards, and just hang at the park. All of a sudden as me and Charlotte were walking home she kisses me. I push her away, "what was that for?"

Charlotte looks at me "I like you Rain I always have I'm sorry for not telling you earlier I just needed to do that" I look at her a moment processing it. "Its ok if you don't feel the same I just needed to get it off my chest," I nod and we head back home.

Enjoy
