*Tuesday* (3 days later)

Jeff is in the dining room eating his breakfast when there is a ringing sound.

Lily: that must be them

Jeff: who?

James: a couple have adopted someone, they have come to pick them up for a week trial

Jeff: who did they adopt?

James: not to sure, they spoke to Lily about it

Jeff shrugs it off then continues to eat his breakfast when Lily walks into the dining room with the couple.

Lily: here he is, Jeff i have some people who would like to speak with you

Jeff looks up seeing Freya and Josh. He is a bit surprised to see them. Lily explains that they'd like to adopt Jeff, he has tears in his eyes from happyness but is also confused.

Jeff: but why me? wouldn't it be better for you to adopt a younger kid?

Freya: it would but we don't always take the easy path in life, and after reading your file and talking to you we knew we had to take you in

Jeff freezes at the mention of his file. He stands up and goes to his room.

Freya: did i say something wrong?

Lily: he's just a bit, sensitive when it comes to his file. he'll be fine in 10 minutes or so.

*10 Minutes later*

Jeff is still in his room when there is a knock on the door.

jeff: come in

Josh walks into the room.

Josh: hi, it's just me. i was going to talk to you about the week trial.

Jeff: so it really is me you wanted?

Josh: yes, we would like to take you in for the trial if you would like to

Jeff: i could give it a go

Josh: me and Freya will be down stairs waiting for you, take your time

Josh leaves the room. Jeff packs some of his belonging like his phone and laptop plus the wires for both, and obviously he packed some clothes.

He has it all in a backpack and walks into the lounge area where Josh and Freya are signing some papers with Lily.

Lily: all sorted, now you just have to wait for Jeff to come down

Jeff: right here

Freya: perfect, we should head off

Jeff: ok, let's go

*at Josh and Freya's apartment*

Freya: this is our home, for the week

Jeff: it's lovely

Freya: thank you, Josh has to go film for the sidemen so i'll show you your room.

Jeff: ok

Freya and Jeff walk down the loooong hallway to Jeff's room for the week. Freya opens the door revealing the room.

Freya: i apologise if this is too much, we had one of Josh's cousins here for a while

Freya: i apologise if this is too much, we had one of Josh's cousins here for a while. he's just left and moved back in with his parents.

Jeff: it's ok, i like it

He walks over to the bed and puts his bag onto it before looking at the computer and gaming chair.

Freya: Josh is going to be out of town until Friday, so it will mainly be just us

Jeff: that'll be fine

He sits down.

Freya: i'll go into the kitchen getting dinner sorted, i'll let you get comfortable

Jeff nods in responce. Freya leaves the room giving Jeff the chance to look around the room and unpack his thing.

*3 hours later*

Jeff walks out of his room then to the living room which is attached to the kitchen. He sits down and starts talking to Freya about random stuff.

Freya: do you eat pizza?

Jeff: of course, who doesn't?

Freya: that is true, was thinking about ordering some dominos. you ok with that?

Jeff: of course

Freya: what pizza do you want?

Jeff: meat feist, it's always been my favourite.

She smiles and chuckles.

Freya: want 2 and a drink or just the one and a drink?

Jeff: the 2 if you don't mind

Freya: i've had to get 3 pizzas for someone

An hour aftet ordering their pizzas and drinks arrived. The pair sat in the living room eating while watching the Harry Potter movies on netlix.

Once they finish their food they go to their rooms. Once there it doesn't take Jeff long to fall asleep.
