Normani POV

As I lay restless on this cold park Bench Its a pretty chilly Houston night the leaves are rustling and the wind is howling. if your quiet enough you can hear the train leaving the station the people on their way to their new lives. slowly and slowly I let my mind drift into an abyss. Its been approximately 1460 hours and 87600 minutes since I last saw Dinah. I wonder where she is? did she like her new family? does she miss me? did she forget about me?

I continued to twist and turn trying to find some sort of a comfortable position on this bench if even possible. hey if your going to do that all night sleep on ground! I'm sorry doja I just can't sleep I keep having that dream again look I know your worried but if Dinah is in danger she can handle herself  I know your right but I just can't shake the feeling like something isn't right it's probably nothing now go back to sleep I hope so.

The next morning

So where are we getting breakfast from today? I vote the old lady right over there she can't catch us. NO absolutely not she looks cripple. so even better! so doja I'm not going to hell with you  ok fine you pick ok what about her over there she looks loaded and stuck up the one with the black hair? yeah let's follow her it looks like she walked ok come on

We followed the lady discreetly for about 2 blocks until she stopped and answered her phone. ma'am where have you disappeared to? Oh Jeffery relax I just needed to go for a walk and clear my head I'm on Florence st okay madam I'm on the way!

Not even 5 minutes later a Tahoe with tinted windows appeared to pick the woman up
Fuckkk I semi screamed. now what? there goes our breakfast. what are we going to eat now? relax we're in the middle of a neighborhood now somebody has to be gone

Pause cut the cameras!

I know what your thinking but we are not criminals we only break into homes to take food . ok don't look at me like that we're just trying to survive so it's justified okay now back to it!

Resume

Okay look at that house right there the gate is open. so? So obviously someone is going to see that and rob them foreal we are just robbing them for food no biggy idk Normani last house we did we almost got caught we will be quick about it no one will even know we're there ok fine but if we go to jail I'm making you my bottom bitch!

We walked around the house looking for some sort of entrance but found none geez these people really don't want anyone breaking in just keep looking and remember no idea is stupid what about the doggy door ok see I take that back that was a stupid idea you have a better idea? I thought about it for a second we could always go to a different house normani we are already here! Ok so squeeze your sweet ass through there

Excuse me but this sweet ass couldn't fit through there if you paid it your skinnier you do it! Fine but if I get stuck I'm beating you I got on all fours like the dog I apparently am I stuck my head in first scoping out the house it look pretty average nothing too flashy are you stuck or? shut up I'm not stuck I'm making sure no one's here

I crawled the rest of the way in the doggy door and unlocked the door for doja well it's about damn time shut up go upstairs and see if you can find clothes I'll look for food with that she crept up the stairs ok kitchen kitchen I spotted the room this family is loaded opening my back pack I threw in any non perishable foods *growl ignoring my stomach attempts to tell me it needs food I continued to the pantry *growls ok damn I'm going to feed you *bark ok I am not that fucking hung..wait a minute that wasn't m..*bark slowly I turned around and came face to face with a big ass dog

Nice doggy I tried to move but my movements only made the dog even madder I hopped on the kitchen island yooo what's with all this barkin..*AHHH I screamed back AHHH who are you and why are you in my house? get your fucking dog!! don't worry he doesn't bite thank god I said relief washing over me  unless your a robber now why the hell are you here??? mani I found this ugly ass blou..oh Shit I'm calling the police wait let us explain ok shoot you have 5 minutes

We aren't criminals oh so your not in here stealing my "ugly ass " blouses? no I mean yes well I mean I didn't even want the ugly ass blouse ok not too much on my blouse I'm sorry it's just we were orphans we escaped and now we're homeless and we break into houses just looking for food we don't mean any harm hahahaha why are you laughing?

IM sorry it's just the irony my god both doja and I looked at each other confused what??  oh you don't know? Know what? Well geez you would think two criminals like yourself would know who they're robbing ok enough with the criminal word whatever but FYI your robbing a foster home that's why it's funny

A foster home? Yes like a home that fosters homeless hoes like yourselves I'm betting my foster mom will love you guys wait your offering us a place to stay?  it's not up to me entirely my foster mom should be back after while it's up to her omg thank you I hugged her with tears in my eyes hey don't thank me yet you need to get cleaned you smell like Adam who Is Adam me and doja asked she pointed to the golden retriever woww and I thought we were foster friends girl come on

Later that day

"IM HOME COME GRAB SOME BAGS" come on she's home let me introduce you guys! I slowly got up following behind the mysterious brunette. I still don't know her name. What if this lady doesn't like us? what if we end up back on the streets? oh god this was a stupid idea she's not going to want us hey you okay? yes doja I'm okay why wouldn't I be okay? Because you just said all of that aloud. Shit! Yeah we heard that too

Look don't worry the brunette stepped in she's going to love you guys I sure hope so. we continued our walk down the stairs this time I was much more calm. I THOUGHT I TOLD Y..oh who are your friends? The woman who I assumed was the foster mother asked. She had beautiful tan skin and that smile. surely I've seen it before her voice was like silk made of the same voice I've only heard in my dreams. who was this woman? why do I feel so drawn to her? Oh these are my friends...um what's y'all name again? Amala ma'am but some call me Doja she reached for her hand to shake, I started to speak but noting came out. And you? Surely you must have a name

Her eyes. those beautiful brown eyes the kind made of honey the kind that only the sun could kiss at the perfect time of day just to see them sparkle. I know this woman but I don't know how exactly. I..I'm N Normani ma'am finally I mustered up the words. what pretty names you girls have im milika but you can call me mama Hansen Hansen???bitch as in Dinah's last name is Hansen Hansen??!? no it can't be. it's not. could it?

Why don't you girls stay for dinner I'm sure the other kids would be happy to meet you guys as well other kids??!? I thought it was just the brunette other kids? I asked yes hayden, Jake, and Cierra are at school maya here is supposed to be sick who tf is maya? I thought to myself. the mysterious brunette coughed causing Malika to laugh god she evens laugh like her I wonder does she know? I'm starting to feel much better now

I'm sure you are so girls tell me a little bit about yourselves why aren't you at school? where are your parents? The room went dead silent actually we are homeless oh my god! You guys have to stay here I'm not talking no for an answer! Really it's no big deal I mean you already have alot or kids to look after nonsense you guys are staying that's final maya take them upstairs and let them pick a room

I told you she would like you guys. I smiled for the first time in a really long time. we weren't homeless anymore no more armed robbery no more park benches yooo is this bed for me? "Yes doja it's for you and Normani you can have this one if you like it's not much but.. it's perfect! Right well I better head down and help with dinner you guys make your self at home Home? That was a word I was unfamiliar with I never had one of those I never Thought I would but thanks to the beautiful woman downstairs I get to know what a "home"
Is. which makes me wonder how could she abandon her only child to raise 4 oh and guys the brunette peeked back around the door frame

Welcome to the family!
