Adopted

Fionna's POV

I honestly didn't even know where the hell I was going; all I knew is that it was far away from Austin. I'm doing him a favor. Why did he try to go after me?

Well, he was drunk. If he was sober, he would've watched me get on the bus and left. I felt my eyes water as the guys watched the bus drive away with a shocked expression.
I saw them get into the truck and try to follow the bus but they were pulled over for speeding.

They need to stop trying to come after me. They're probably gonna take me back later on.

I brought my knees to my chest and hugged them as I felt my eyes starting to water again. I cried silently into my knees, trying not to disturb the few people around me. I started to get another headache and I fell asleep with my head against the window.

I woke up in my room and sat up confused. Why are there bruises all over me arms and legs?
Austin walked by my door and I quietly said his name. "Austin..." His head snapped over at me: he stomped over to me and slapped me across the face.

"What do you want you unwanted maggot!?" he shouted.
"I'm s-sorry," I stuttered. He pushed me back against the wall and walked away.

"Young lady, are you okay?" I heard a voice say. My eyes shoot open and hot tears stream down my face. The bus driver was just staring at me after he shook me awake. "End of the line, kid." he said as he grabbed all my stuff and gave them to me.

I raised an eye brow as I realized that I slept the entire night.

"Before you go, where am I?"

He gave me a look of stupidity and rolled his eyes, "You're in LA, kid. Now scram. You're blocking the way."
My eyes went wide. I was just in standing there in awe as I observed my surroundings.

I was in Sacramento a while ago, now I'm in LA. I felt my stomach growl and realized I didn't have enough money for food. Fuck.

As I'm walking along the pavement, I noticed that people were singing and doing all kinds of things to get money. Maybe I should do the same...

I grabbed out a hat from my bag and set it on the ground.

"If I could find the words,
if I could shake the world,
if I could turn back time,
would you still be there?" I started. People started to come around to see what I was doing. It made me kinda nervous but I needed the money.

"I can't stop thinking about way
I left you sinking with no escape.
Now there's no lifeline,
no way to save,
but maybe next time I won't throw it all away.
I ask myself everyday.

If I could find the words,
if I could shake the world,
if I could turn back time,
would you still be there?"

I started to feel a bit more confident about what I was doing as soon enough, I started making enough money for food the whole week.

"Dislocated,
I lie awake
suffocating in my mistakes.
I lost my halo when I fell from grace,
but maybe next time I won't throw it all away.
I ask myself everyday.

If I could find the words,
if I could shake the world,
if I could turn back time,
would you still be there?

There's no dancing around it.
I crawl into the fire then fan the flames,
& I can't stand it,
but I don't have the strength to burn the page.

If I could find the words,
if I could shake the world,
if I could turn back time,
would you still be there?

If I could find the words to say,
if I could shake the world to break you down,
then would you still be there?"

I squeezed my eyes tightly until I heard the crowd applause. I looked down at my hat and start counting the money. Holy crap, I made over $50.

I walked off to find a buffet and luckily I found a Golden Corral. I walked in and started grabbing all I can eat. I sat down and I felt myself being watched.
I looked around but there was only a couple of families that were minding their own business. No one was even noticing me.

I just quickly took my food to go and left. I shoved it in my bag and decided to look around before I actually thought of sleeping on a park bench for the night. I found a comic book store that had a help wanted sign on it and thought about getting the job.
I do like comic books and it looks like they seem to pay good money, so why not?
I walked in and I was greeted by a guy with hair that reminded me of Austin. "Hey, the names Jake. How can I can I help you?"

"Uuh, I saw the "Help Wanted" sign outside and wanted to apply for the job. Maybe? Yes? No? Okay, bye."

"Wait! You didn't even let me interview you!" He shouted as I awkwardly walked towards the door. I stopped in my tracks and looked back at him.
I walked back and he shook my trembling hand.

"You seem like the person I would want for this job. All you need is a little fixing and you're perfect!"
He interview me and most of the questions were pretty easy and not as nerve racking as I thought they would be.

"Well, you can start tomorrow. What's your cell and home number?"
I told him my cell number but I stayed quiet about the home number. "About the home thing... I'm kinda on my own." I said before looking down at my shoes.

He gave me a sad look and snapped his fingers. This shop came with an extra room, you can stay in there!" He smiled.

"Dude, no! That's way to much to get,"
"No, you either live here or you go find a bridge," he smirked. "Fine..."

He led me to the room and I got settled in. I checked my phone and found over 100 missed calls from the guys, Indigo, and Jason.

My heart broke a little but I couldn't go back...

Notes

S'up guys, this was a little filler and sorry this took so long...
My grandmother died and I had a really tough time with it since she was the only grandparent I had left.
It breaks my heart that I have to pass her house every single day, since we lived on the same street. I started feeling a little better and decided to update for you guys. If you have any ideas, go ahead and shoot them out there.

GIf of the day:

Goddammit Austin, this isn't MTV.
