what did i do wrong?

2 i'm ready

I woke up and looked at my alarm clock. It read 2:36. Oh crap!!! I missed my chance to get adopted... and Joshua's chance. I felt really bad. Joshua wasn't in his room. Maybe he went outside? I pulled on some faded jeans, a red shirt, and some tennis shoes. As i was walking down the stairs, i heard Joshua talking to an unfamiliar voice. He turned around and ran to me yelling " we're getting adopted Amy!!!" I didn't know how to respond so i kinda just stood there. I looked up from his smiling face and and saw an elderly couple staring at me with kind faces. I looked at Joshua and he walked over to them. He looked at them shyly and asked " um... can i give you a hug?" The old woman said "Of course you can, dear. You can give us a hug anytime you like." I just stared at them intently. For the first time in a long time Joshua actually looked happy. Joshua was 7 when our parents got in the accident, so that's actually a pretty long time that he's has a hug from someone that's more that 6 years older than him. I walked to the couple and they gave me a big hug. It felt nice, actually. I grabbed Joshua's hand and dragged him up the stairs so we can get ready to leave. We only had five pairs of clothes each, so it only took us about 5 minutes to pack our stuff. I have some pictures of my parents so i carefully places them in the top of my duffle bag. When we were ready we walked down the stairs to the couple that was waiting for us. The first words that i said to my new parents were " I'm ready"
