I looked at my phone again as more and more people kept talking about the possibility of Christen and Tobin going to play in Manchester.

Were they ever going to tell me or talk to me? Or wear they going to be like every other foster parents and just ship me off when I become inconvenient to them. I thought they were different, but maybe I was wrong.

I let out a frustrated sign as I locked my phone and moved to pack the essentials things in a duffel bag. If I was going to be sent away, I was going to be prepared and be ready to leave as soon as possible.

As I was finishing packing everything my phone started ringing. I looked down to see that it was Lindsey, looking to face time me again. I debated answering it, but decided to stick to not answering the calls from Christen and Tobin teammates. It was better to start putting distance between us now if I were leaving.

I threw the bag under my bed and tried to distract myself but watching a movie, but my mind kept drifting back to them going to Manchester and leaving me. It hurt more then I would care to admit, making me realize I let myself get to attached this time, even if I had been with them for a year.

I realized that the movie wasn't working. Might as well go on a run then.

Christen POV

I looked down when I saw my phone ring. What does she want? She normally calls (y/n) or Tobin?

"Why isn't your kid answering my calls or text?" Lindsey asked as soon as I answered

"Hello to you too. She isn't answering you?" I asked confused? She loved talking and hanging out with Lindsey. She wouldn't admit it due not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings, but Lindsey was her favorite.

"Yes, she also not answering anyone" Lindsey said which made me even more confused

"Are you sure she just isn't missing your call?" I asked

"I'm sure she doesn't just miss my call for 3 days and not text me or call me back" Lindsey said causing me to be concerned

"Let me talk to Tobin and we will find out why" I said moving to look for Tobin and hanging up with her

"Tobin" I said finding her in her art studio

"Have you noticed anything off with (y/n). Lindsey said she isn't answering their calls or text" I said causing Tobin to set down her things to think

"She's been a little more quiet then usual but other then that no" Tobin said causing me to think over the past few days

"Let's go talked to her and see if she says anything" Tobin said, both of us knowing that if something was really bothering you. It could be hard to get out of you due to past experiences.

Tobin and I made our way to you to find it empty

"She must have went for another run" Tobin said looking going to leave but something caught my attention sticking out from under her bed.

I walked over and pulled it out it. It was her duffel bag that she arrived with and it was full.

Why does she have this packed? We are going anywhere.

"Tobin" I said with worry in my voice, was she planning on running away. Why else would she have the bag packed?

"Her duffle is packed" I said looking at her as she looked confused

"We aren't  going anywhere, are we?" Tobin asked

"No" I said worriedly

"Do you think she is planning on running away? Why else would she have it packet" I sad as tears started fill in my causing Tobin to rush towards me and pull me into her arms

"Does she not want to be with us anymore? Is that why she is being distance?" I whispered

"No, I'm sure their is an explanation. Let's not jump to conclusions and see what she has to say" Tobin said pulling as she wiped the tears that had fallen

"Okay" I said as Tobin grabbed my hand and lead my out of her room

(Y/n) POV

I walked back into the house after my run, feeling more relaxed then when I left. That is until I made it to the hallway that led to the kitchen.

In the kitchen stood Tobin and Christen and Christen looked like she was upset.

I slowly made my way over the entrance of the kitchen.

"Is everything okay?" I asked hesitantly, fearing now would the time they tell me that I'm leaving

They both looked up when I spoke.

"I don't know, is it everything okay?" Christen asked looking at me and I just stared back

"Lindsey called and was worried about you. You haven't been answering anyone's calls or text" Tobin said and I instantly felt trapped

"Ive been busy with training for cross county" I said feeling defensive

"We know that's not the reason why. What's bothering you?" Christen said gently as looked at me

I stared at them for a second debating whether or not to say anything.

"Nothing" I said but they both didn't look like they believed me

"We found your duffel when we went looking for you in your room" Christen said and I instantly felt fear and anger take over me.

"You went though my things?" I asked angrily

"Are you planning on running away?" Tobin asked confused but with concern and hurt in her voice but I was just to mad to think about that

"You have no right to go threw my things" I said with just as much anger as before

"We were worried" christen said, trying to get me to understand

"You must be so worried about me considering you are planning on going to go and play in Manchester and leave me like all my other foster parents" I said angrily at them while they looked at me with shock before a look of sadness appeared on both of there faces as I stood in my spot fuming.

"We would never leave you" Christen said as I saw her eye fill with tears

"That's why nothing has been announced yet. We are not going unless you go with us." Tobin said softly to me causing the anger to leave me quickly

"Oh" I all I could think of to say as I looked back them, I could tell they were waiting to see how I reacted to this.

"Did you really think we would leave you?" Christen asked and I could hear the sadness and slight hurt in her voice

"I don't know, you guys are my foster parents. You have no obligation to keep me" i said looking away from them. I wanted to say that you knew they wouldn't leave you but from past events you could never be to sure.

"What if we told you we wanted to adopt you?" I heard Tobin say causing my head to snap up and look at her in shock

"What?" I asked wanting to make sure I heard them right

"We want to adopt you. We've been waiting for the paperwork to come in before we talked to you" Christen said while I still stared at them both with shock

"What do you say?" Christen asked anxiously looking at me

"Yes!" I said rushing forward bring them both into group hug as I felt them kiss my head

"I thought you would say that" Tobin said with a laugh
