We were both sitting on the sofa when Pepper started talking.
"Tony...I know how much you hate it when Loki gets himself involved anywhere, but he was kind of right. How are we supposed to adopt Y/n if Mrs. Nelson doesn't even know we know she lives there. We have to come up with something that's realistic too, not that we won't be allowed to adopt her afterwards."
"Pep...I've given this some thought and I think this is how it could all work out. Look. What if we just say we heard something coming from the room on the way to the bathroom and went to look. Then when we looked in, there was Y/n sitting there. And so she doesn't get in trouble, we just say that Y/n told us she was shy and decided on her own not to come out of the room or something. And then we kind of say something like we were going to adopt someone Y/n's age anyway. And if that doesn't work out we'll figure out something else alright? It'll be fine tomorrow." I said, trying to convince Pepper that everything would be fine tomorrow.
"I trust you Tony. I know I said earlier that we can still sit on the couch and watch a movie, but I'm pretty tired and I want to be well-rested for tomorrow. Is it okay if I go to bed already?" ask Pepper.
"Yeah sure. You go ahead. I'll be up in a bit too. Good night Pep." I said.
After a few minutes I also made my way to bed and also immediately fell asleep next to Pepper.
(Present time)
~Y/n's Pov~
After Pepper and Tony walked out of my room on Friday, I was just waiting for them to come back and help me. I didn't know how they were going to do it, but I was just hoping to get out of here as quickly as possible.
On Saturday, the day just didn't go by. I spent most of my time in my room looking out the window, hoping that their car would appear on the driveway. But it didn't. As time went on, I got the feeling that they were just taking pity on me for a moment and had no intention of coming back at all.
Fortunately, Mrs. Nelson was also out all day and simply ordered me to clean up the kitchen. Of course I did this and disappeared directly back into my room after it was done. It was nice to have a day without being beaten by Mrs. Nelson.
However, my thoughts overwhelmed me in the evening and everything became too much for me. I couldn't handle the fact that the thoughts wouldn't stop. Constantly they told me:
You are not good enough
Pepper and Tony are not going to come back. They think just like Mrs. Nelson, you deserve to be treated like this.
You are not worthy of ever having a better life
The woman from the ice cream parlor will definitely never go there again because she doesn't want to see such an ugly teenager again.
These thoughts went on and on and I got more and more frustrated. It got to the point where I couldn't take it anymore and opened the drawer next to my bed. I lifted the things in the drawer and reached for the familiar silver shiny metal piece.
