Why do you love me? - An SBI Adoption AU

TWs: Mentions of Abuse (sorry if missed any)

Tommy POV:

It was only about ten minutes before Miss Puffy, the man and his two sons walked back into the room full of young kids. Some kids had hope in their eyes, some had excitement and some had worry and fear. I've heard conversations between kids here at the orphanage about how their foster parents would hurt them, even if they did nothing wrong, and they would come back to the orphanage covered in scars and bruises. It made me nervous, that it was going to happen to me but I just wanted a chance at a good family so I would take anyone, so I had hope in my eyes. The men seemed nice when we talked earlier but apparently all parents do that so they can get you to trust them.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by Miss Puffy starting to talk to us.

"So everyone" she started with a big smile on her face, even though she knew they would be a lot of sad children after she names the kid who had been picked, "Phil, Wilbur and Techno here have decided on who they want so...". She paused for dramatic effect for some reason.

"Tommy". She finished.

No way they picked me. I never get picked. I had a shocked face. All the other kids were now staring at me with shocked faces as well.

"Me. But I never get picked. There are far better options here than me" I spoke up quietly starting to walk over to the four of them.

"Oh come on now Tommy don't put yourself down, if they picked you, you must have made a great impression on them" Puffy told me, crouching down to my level. As I saw her finish her sentence I saw the three men all nod to what she was saying.

I knew I needed to be careful from what the other kids have said in the past but I couldn't help but feel a bit excited.

I ran out of the room to go pack up my things, which wasn't much to be honest, looking behind me I saw the two sons following me. I wonder why?

As I reached my room I quickly swung the door open, proceeding to dart in to grab my bag and fill it with clothes and toys.

Just as I had started the two sons entered the room and starting to approach me and I started to get nervous. What were they going to do?

"Hey Tommy, were going to help you pack up your things, okay?" Wilbur said in a friendly tone.

"No" I mumbled on accident, not meaning to say it.

"What do you mean, no?" Techno asked in a monotone voice but not in a angry tone just in a questioning one.

"Oh, sorry, I just meant that, I don't have much stuff so I don't need help" I said in a innocent voice but anyone could probably tell that I was scared.

"Okay, that's fine mate we will just wait here then" Wilbur replied and I quickly gave him a small nod before packing up my few items of clothing and toys.

No one's POV:

The air that flowed between the three boys was uncomfortable and definetely awkward. Nobody knew what to say. Techno and Wilbur could see how nervous and scared Tommy was but who wouldn't be nervous to move in with virtual strangers, especially ones who could hurt you.

As the three became the four and they entered the mini van belonging to the Minecraft Family there was complete and utter silence. 

After a few minutes of driving Tommy was silent and staring out of his window, barely being tall enough to see out of it, Wilbur was listening to music, Techno was scrolling through twitter on his phone whilst talking to Phil, who was driving.

It wasn't until Phil was entering the drive thru of a KFC when Tommy spoke his first words.

Tommy POV:

I was staring out of the window being silent for the entire car ride so far, so I could look at all the scenery that I have missed for the past four years of my life. But what caught my eye was that we were entering a place called KFC. 

"What is KFC?" I asked quietly, worried to say anything wrong, but all it did was earn a laugh from the other three in the car.

"Its a takeaway. Are you hungry?" Phil answers. I quickly nod my head in response. He smiles at me through the rear view mirror. 

Phil orders for everyone and after we got the food, we all ate it up as fast as possible. It was delicious. Best food I have ever eaten.

Not too long after we continued on our journey and I continued being silent until I saw us pull up into a driveway that belonged to a massive, modern looking house.

"WOW!" I excitedly gasped. The other three in the car smiling at me.

"Yeah, we're rich" Techno said as he exited the vehicle.

Phil came over to my door and opened it letting me jump out. As it was a big car and I was small it was quite the drop, I almost fell over.

I continued to stare at the massive house as we walked inside. Inside the house was beautiful as well, neat, tidy, modern looking, all things that the orphanage wasn't.

Phil, Wilbur and Techno all smiled at me still as I could in the look of the house. We all walked into the living room where a woman was sat. She instantly looked up from a book that she was reading to stare at me.

"Kristen, meet Tommy. Tommy meet Kristen, my wife" Phil exclaimed as the woman sat up from her comfy looking seat and walked over to me, crouching down to my level and holding out her hand.

"Hi Tommy, I'm Kristen, the nice one around here" she said with a laugh, causing me to giggle. She was nice.

I was quickly shown to my bedroom which was massive. There was a big bed in one corner, then a massive wardrobe opposite it, then there was a desk with a whole computer gaming rig on and there was bathroom attached.

Laying down on the bed I couldn't help but feel excited for my life but the nervous and scared thoughts quickly came flooding back.

The End of Chapter 3.
