Let Go
Chapter 22- I Want To Adopt You
*CeCe’s POV*
"Ok, so before we leave, I just want to do an overview of what we went over." Hidey, the talent scout told the room. I nodded and looked around the big round table. According to Hidey, this was mine and Cody’s 'team'. There were about 30 other people in the room that was, I guess, Cody and mine publicist, and hair and make-up team, our styles, and so on. Cody elbowed me in the ribs to force me to pay attention back to what Hidey was saying. "Ok so the contract will be singed Friday, you two will meet your correspondents on Wednesday, or whenever they get back in town, to get to know them. The first interview is next week, ill getting the info in it and text it to you when I know about it. Ok everyone is dismissed."
Everyone got up and left the room so fast you would think it’s on fire. I slowly stood up and groaned. Uh my knee was so sore today. I grabbed my water bottle off of the table and pulled out my phone to see the time. It was already 6 pm. I had been in the meeting for about 7 hours, and was starving. I hadn’t eaten breakfast or lunch today and I felt like I was dieing. Cody and I made our way to the elevator, stopping every 10 steps because someone on our term wanted to sake our hands.
We finally got in the elevator and as soon as the doors closed I pulled out my phone to call Harry. "Hay babe! You done?" Harry asked after 2 rings. "Um yes, were are. Were eating, ill get a cab and meet you there." I said back as my stomached growled loudly. "No need. Just walk down a block to your right to American eagle, Dani and Li are shopping there and they will give you a ride." Harry said before hanging up, giving me no time to protest. It's not that I didn’t want to ride with them, it was that today was Li’s first day alown with Dani and a few months, and I didn’t want to intrude.
I grouned and pushed open the doors to go outside. I hugged Cody goodbye and made my way down to the store. Within 5 minute I saw Dani and Li standing outside the story waiting. "Hi!" Dani screamed and pulled me in for a hug as I reached them. Li kissed me on the cheek and we walked to the car. As soon as we started droving lid and Dani started to talk to each other. I decided to stay out of it and let them talk. I laied my head against the cold window and slowly drifted to sleep.
Suddenly my door swung open wakening me as I started to fall out. Luckily two strong arms stop me and pushed me back onto the seat. "Well hello there." A deep husky voice said to me. I turned to face the smirking boy. “I was sleeping." I wined to him and pouted. "Well its time to eat." He says reaching over my body and unbuckling me. I took my hand and pulled me into the restaurant. We walked inside and the restraint was packed. Luckily it was mostly adults and elderly that were dining here but there were a few teens and it was making my unsure. I don’t want to seem rude, but I really don’t want our dinner to be disrupted tonight, it’s an important night for me. As if he read my mind Harry bent down and whispered in my ear, “Don’t worry we got a privet room in the back.”
He walked to the back room with me close behind. He pulled out a chair, left of Zayn and opposite of Lou, for me to sit on before he sat on my right. We ordered and we all started talking about our day. Zayn and Parrie went to the zoo, Niall watches movies an ate, Dani and Li went shopping after Dani’s practice, Harry went to lunch with his mom and I had the meeting. There was one person whose actions were suspicious to me, Lou’s. Lou ran some errands then him and El went to a park and had a snow ball fight. Why was Lou running errands? He never dose that. Oh, this boy is up to something!
“Here you go!” the waiter said placing my food in front of me. He was quite attractive with brown hair, blue eyes and a fit body. Don’t get me wrong, I love Harry, but I could say if other guys were attractive, and this guy was. Wait did I just say I love Harry!? My thoughts were interrupted when the waiter places a napkin with numbers written across it, next to my plate. “Ill be expecting that call” he told me confidently before walking away. Everyone just sat there shocked, except Harry who looked like he was going to punch the waiter in the face. Then Lou and Niall both started laughing there buts of, soon followed by everyone ease at the table but me and Harry. I just rolled my eyes before hungrily focusing at the big stake in front of me.
I was about 3/4ths way from the stake when I saw Lou fidgeting. He had been acting nervous all night. “Lou are you ok?” I finally asked. “Well I guess its time to tell you’re why we are here.” He replied, bending down and taking something off the floor. I couldn’t help but grin ear to ear; I was finally going to get my surprise. He put a big, formal white envelope on the table in front of me and my smile suddenly dropped. This was not a surprise like I was hoping for.
Lou continued to talk.” We all know that you have to get adopted soon so that you can stay here. Niall suggested that we scout out someone, and pay them to adopt you but none of us were very conferrable with you being adopted by some random person. Then Liam had a brilliant idea, and I volunteered to do that. You told me you think of me as a father, and I think of you as a daughter so I figured, why not make it official. Cecilia Rae Senecal, I would like to adopt you.”
I was frozen. Why? Why, why, why, why, WHY! I don’t know why, but when he told me it made me mad, and sad, and happy, and sick. It made me confused. I slowly reached the envelop inform of me and took the paperwork out. I scanned over it and noticed at the bottom, Lou had already singed it. “all you have to do is sing it, then ill take it to the adoption place and within 5 days, ill be your guardian.” He told me with a big smile on his face. I didn’t know what to do or say. I was stone. O god, I think im going to be sick, this is too overwhelming. I looked up at Lou and his smile faded with my aspects of a reply. “Can I think about it?’ I practically whispered. He nodded and went back to his meal.
After that, it was very quiet as everyone ate. Everyone but me who just pushed my broccoli around on my plate. I used to be really hunger, but now I just feel sick and my brain is in overdrive. After about 20 minutes of pushing my food around everyone had finished there meal and was talking about dessert. I turned to Harry and whispered in his ear, “I don’t feel so well, can you take me back to the flat?” he looked at me with worried eyes. “Are you ok, what wrong?” he asked placing his hand to my forehead, checking for a fever. “Im fine, I just need to lie down.” I told him as I pulled his hand off my head. He nodded and stood up, pulling me up with him. “Were you two going?” Lima asked. “Ill meet you outside.” I wisped to Harry then living him in the room to explain. It might have seemed rude, but I had to get out of the room, there was so much tension and it was making me feel worse.
I quickly made it to the car, happy that there were no paparazzi that I had to deal with. About 5 minutes after I goi in the passergerside of Harry’s black rode ranger, I saw Harry step out of the restaurant. He got to the car and started to drive. The whole way back to the flat he tried to talk to me but I ignored him. I was off in my own world debating on if I should sing the papers or not as I watched some snow fall to the ground.
Harry opened the door to the flat and I quickly made my way up to the spare room without saying a word. I grabbed some cloths from my suit case that was still here from after the ball, and quickly changed in the bathroom. I walked back out into the room thinking about how if I singed the papers, this huge room, full bathroom, and walk in closets would be mine. There were so many pros to this situation but the same con seemed to be overruling it. I laid down on my bed and enjoyed the darkness, just thinking. After about 15 minutes of laying there I heard Harry come upstairs and go into his room, closeting the door behind him. He wisent going to sleep eighth me tonight. This made me sad theta I woodland feels his body next to mine, but I was happy he was letting me have my space. I knew the only way I could make this decision was if I was allowed and he respected that.
"Ok, so before we leave, I just want to do an overview of what we went over." Hidey, the talent scout told the room. I nodded and looked around the big round table.
