Four days later .
" Come on now , "- blonde lady gestured as she opened the hospital door for me .
" Don't come on now me , I thought you said I was going to be discharged two days ago "- I said as I smoothed down my sun dress.
" Well , sorry about that . I had to make sure you came out of the hospital with no scars "- she said as she opened the front seat for me . Though I'm grateful for that , she doesn't need to know about that so ;
I rolled my eyes and sat down .
" Whatever but what about the other kids , they never came back to visit me . "- I asked .
" We'll talk about that later , "- she replied as she drove out of the parking lot .
" Well I want to talk about it now ! "- I demanded .
" Well at least stop acting like a spoilt brat ! "- she yelled back .
" Oh , now I'm acting like a spoilt brat ?! " - I glared back .
" I know what your dad did to you was horrible but that doesn't mean you should take it out on everyone ! "- she said after a frustrated sigh .
" You know nothing about the pain we went through living in that house ! "- I said in anger .
" I'm sure maybe that Mark guy will get through you , " - she later said with a sad smile .
" I don't know what you are talking about , "- I mumbled .
" Ok then , "- she sang as we stopped in front of the foster home .
" Home sweet home ! "- I said with smile .
" Really ? , You feel at home here "- she asked in a rather giddy tone .
" Calm down blonde lady , "- I said with a chuckle .
" I wanted to talk to you about something ."- she said as she parked in front of home .
I ignored her as I ran into the house . The sweet scent of pastries ; * sigh * I walked into the kitchen to maybe have a taste of goodies inside the Oven .
" Miss . Summer ? , let me help you with those ! "- I said as I helped her get the muffins out of the oven .
" They smell fantastic by the way ! "- I remarked .
" I'm glad , you can have one . "- she said as she handed one to me .
" Pick up a tissue , it's still hot "- she said as she directed me to one .
" Thanks . "- I said before taking the muffin in my hand .
I moaned as I took a bite .
" These are definitely delicious ! "- I complimented and helped her finish up in the kitchen .
" Thanks for helping out , who knew I was getting that old ! "- she joked .
" You're welcome , I'm going check on the other kids now ! "- I said as I dashed out to the stairs .
" Mark ! , Beatrice ! , Maya ! , Kelvin ! , Jared ! "- I continued yelling but there was no response . I checked their rooms but they were all empty . Where could they be ? " - I thought to myself before running back down the stairs .
I calmly sat down beside Miss. Summer as I zoned out after I heard the grown ups talking about paperwork .
Where are they ? .
" Miss . Summer , where are the other kids ? "- I asked as I glanced at blonde lady who was now shifting anxiously on the couch .
" Didn't Miss . Angelina tell you ? "- she asked staring at blonde lady .
" Tell me what ? "- I asked as I also stared at her too .
" Miss . Summer told me about retiring so I decided to help her , I talked to some colleagues of mine and managed to convince them to adopt them . "- she explained .
" So the others are gone ! "- I asked in a whisper yell .
" But then if Miss. Summer is retiring then where will I be staying ? "- I asked in a worried tone .
" Well Miss . Angelina here has agreed to adopt you Scarlet ! "- she replied with a smile .
" You want to adopt me ? "- I asked in shock .
" Why ? "- I asked further .
" Well I was just thinking that after everything you've been through , you deserve a break plus I would love to be your guardian . "- she said with a smile .
" You should have more muffins "- she gestured as she offered me another one .
" I'm sure you'll find living with Angelina comfy , she really is a nice person . "- she continued saying with a smile .
" So you're going to be living here alone ? "- I asked .
" Of course not , I mean the house is huge and I don't want to feel lonely . I will be selling the house to a family coming from Heartfield . " - she said as she munched on her own muffin .
" But then where will you be staying ? "- I asked a little bit curious .
" You shouldn't be worried about Miss. Summer , she will be fine . She plans on living in an elderly home and I made sure to get the best one to fit such an admirable woman . "- she said as she went for a hug .
" I will surely visit you when I can , "- she said as Miss. Summer caressed her back .
" I know you will , "- she joked .
" That's enough now , you two should be going . You are wasting quality bonding time . " - she said as she ushered us out .
" Wait , what about my stuff ! "- I quickly asked .
" Nice try , we have packed the ones we think you will need to Miss . Angelina's house "- she stated .
" And ... We will be shopping for new clothes anyway , "- blonde lady finished .
Defeated .
I stomped to sit down as I waited for the adults to finish conversing .
She finally got in and drove off .
Destination ; Blonde lady's house .
I hour , 30 minutes later .
We parked in the garage as I waited for her to unlock the door .
She was going to take a while by the looks of things ; I mean she was digging into her purse .
I took the time and looked at her house ; not too flashy or too simple either . It was in-between .
It looked simple but yet sophisticated with the garden outside , the white painted walls with golden edges of the house giving off a kind of royal vibe . Fountains here and there and a pond in the backyard .
Wow how is this not looking flashy right now ; she really did a great job making it simply stylish . I'll give it to her again.
" Scarlet ! , Scarlet ! "- I heard my name being yelled .
" Oh there you are , " - she said in a relieved tone .
" What ? , You thought I ran away
* scoffs *- I would but you are lucky I hardly know this town , "- I said with a smirk and entered the house .
Beautiful on the inside as well . It had an amazing interior with the same design as the outside except for the rooms ; they each look unique . Adding cheerfulness to the whole house in general .
" Your room is the second right up the stairs "- she said as she walked to the fridge to grab some chips .
" Thanks "- I mumbled as I was headed for my new room.
" Wait ! " - I heard her yell .
" What ? "- I asked .
" Did you just thank me , I mean without being told ! "- she said as her face lit up .
Why is she happy about a mumbled thanks .
" Think whatever you want blonde lady "- I said as I headed for my room .
Woah !

I still sense your rudeness , Scarlet . * Looks at her disapprovingly *
