THANKS:)
POV no one: This morning when Blakely woke up she realized she had no nightmares that night. This was the best sleep she's had in a very long time, and this was the comfiest bed she's ever slept in. It was also Saturday, which meant extra chore day. Reluctantly Blakely got up with a big sigh and went to see if Maya and Carina were up. When she saw that they were in the living room she knew she fucked up.
"Omg i'm so sorry I wasn't up earlier, you guys are probably starving. What can I get you guys for breakfast?" Blakely said while rushing down the stairs. The couple looked at the girl in a very confused manner.
"Blakely sweetheart, what are you talking about?" Carina asked.
"Well Saturday is extra chore day which also includes me making meals, so first I need to make you both some breakfast and then I will start on cleaning the house." the little girl explained.
Maya sighed and said "Blakely in this house there's no such thing as 'extra chore Saturday' your only 11 sweetheart, you shouldn't be worrying about meals, and cleaning the whole house. Sure there may be times where we would ask you to clean something small like your room, or maybe help clear dinner but we would never make you cook us meals or clean the whole house. We wouldn't be good parents if we did that."
"we wouldn't be good parents if we did that" that word 'parents' it kept replaying in Blakely's mind over and over. Were they her parents? She just stayed frozen in her spot, not wanting to say anything, in fear of making them mad. She finally had a good home, she wasn't going to screw this up. Instead Blakely was able to muster a small "ok" and she walked back to her room with her thoughts running a mile a minute.

POV Blakely: They said it. They used the word. I don't know how to feel now. Sure they're my legal guardians but that doesn't exactly mean they're my parents, right? I'm currently sitting on my bed in my room, I also locked the door so that no one would come in. Maybe they do care about me and want me to have a good life. Both Maya and Carina seem so nice, but why would they pick me? For all I know this is just an act and then when I trust them they hurt me. I cant let myself think that they want me because Miss Hannah always said "Blakely don't be stupid you will always be everyone's last choice, you probably aren't even a choice!" after hearing this so many times you start to believe it. Suddenly a knock on my door interrupted my thoughts.
"Hey Blakely it's me," Maya said, "just wanted to let you know that breakfast is ready and i'm sorry if I upset you with what I said earlier."
Now I felt like I needed to tell her that it's all ok even though it's not, reluctantly I opened my door and said just that. I knew she didn't believe me so she sighed and said that she's still sorry. It felt good to know that she felt bad for crossing a boundary, it made me have a little bit of hope. Once we got downstairs the view of Carina setting french toast on the table. It looked so good. We all sat down and dug in. It looked and smelled as good as it tasted.
"Carina this is amazing, thank you so much." I said.
"It's no problem bambina, maybe one day we can make it together?" she offered. I liked the thought of that, Carina seemed so gentle and kind. Maya was kind to but there was something different about her. Maya was definitely a little more overprotective but she seemed like she had a big shield on the outside but on the inside she's a sweetheart. Another odd thing is that she looks familiar. Maybe she came when one kid pulled the fire alarm at school but she would've been in uniform. It feels like I know her voice and touch. From where, I don't know but i'm positive I know her from somewhere. Eventually we all finished breakfast and cleaned up, I went to get dressed and do my morning routine. When I started to brush out my hair, god it was the worst. Carina must have heard me getting frustrated because next thing I know she's softly brushing my hair for me. It was actually quite soothing, she wasn't rough like everyone else was. She brushed my hair and styled it into 2 beautiful french braids. Just as she finished Maya came in and "awed" at us. I immediately felt a blush rise to my cheeks because I wasn't used to this.
"So Blakely, how was your sleep?" Maya asked me.
"It was really good, the bed is super duper comfy." I told her honestly.
"Well i'm glad your bed is comfy. Today I was thinking if it's ok with you, that we could get to know you more. You can ask us any questions you have and we can ask you some questions in return." She said.
I felt my mouth go dry, I don't know if i'm ready to talk about everything yet, or ever. Carina kept looking at me and she must've read my mind because she said "We just want to get to know you, like your favourite things, secret talent, can you play an instrument, just the basic things. Nothing more then that I promise."
It couldn't be that bad. They told me that they just wanted to know basic information. I decided to agree but I just hope they're telling the truth.
