The next afternoon I found myself sleeping in Biology, my head resting on my arms as the teacher bored the entire class with Gregor Mendel. It was possibly the most boring thing I've had to encounter in my classes, I didn't think I was going to be able to survive, but I was long gone in my sleep. I was almost surprised I hadn't started snoring.

Suddenly I was shook gently. My first instinct was to either hit this person or to yell at them for waking me from my slumber. Instead, I opened my eyes and saw that it was Austin, a very toothy grin on his face.

"What do you want?" I asked, I was still so tired.

"Class is over." He told me. I sighed and sat up, rubbing my eyes and looking around. The classroom was empty, save for us and Lynn who was at the door talking to a girl.

"How long was I out?" I asked, gathering my things.

"The entire class, you drooled a little too." He said, my eyes widened slightly and the sleeve of my shirt flew to the side of my mouth as I wiped away a little of it. My cheeks warmed up and I stared at the ground as I stood. Austin laughed though, joining my side. Together he, Lynn and I left from the classroom, heading to our lockers.

"Do you plan on sneaking out again tonight?" Austin asked as I stood at my locker, switching out my books. I gave a shrug, I honestly didn't have a clue on what I was going to do.

"Even if I did, I wouldn't invite you along." I said, Austin snorted, shaking his head.

"Trust me Princess, you'd want me to come along." He said, I rolled my eyes and grinned.

"Sure, whatever, I'll let you know." With that, I walked away, going to my next class.

。。。

When the bus came to a stop in front of the orphanage, all of the respected people who belonged there got off, which meant I did too, following behind Kellin, Jaime, Vic and the others. For some reason Sergeant McKinnon's police car was sat out front, but he wasn't anywhere in sight which meant he should be inside. I pushed past the guys and walked in first, sure enough there he was, stood talking to Miss McDougall and Halsey. All three of them turned and looked at me when they heard the door open.

"Alan, sweetie, come here." Miss McDougall said, and of course I walked over. All three of them had a smile on their faces.

"What's going on?" I asked. Sergeant McKinnon slapped a hand on my shoulder, a big smile on his face. Halsey looked professional as always, in her pant suite, but there was also a big smile on her face and I wanted to know why.

"Well," Miss McDougall started, glancing at the other two, "how would you feel about getting adopted soon?"

。。。

I crawled through the bathroom window, making sure to not make any loud sounds as I maneuvered my way through. I couldn't go through the door because Miss McDougall was sat downstairs, watching t.v. with the littler ones and I wasn't about to walk out the front door with her sitting close by, it just wouldn't work.

Austin was already through, waiting on the ground for me. After the little 'surprising news' Sergeant McKinnon, Halsey and Miss McDougall told me, I got upset and stormed away, heading upstairs and locking myself in the bathroom. I had gotten really angry, and honestly I had no clue as to why, but I did. Of course Kellin and Austin came banging on the door, begging for me to open up, but I ignored them and sat on the floor, my arms crossed as I angrily stared at the wall.

Once I was out of the window and had made my way down the fire exit, Austin caught me from the little drop and carefully placed me on the ground with a peck on my forehead.

I had woken him up thirty minutes ago, telling him to get up. At first he was really pissed at me and grumpy because apparently he was sleeping really well, but he eventually got over it and was a happy little giant who gladly wanted to join me for an adventure in the freezing night.

"You want to explain to me the reason as to why you locked yourself in the bathroom?" He asked. I had yet to tell him or Kellin why I did that, I don't think I was ever going to either.

"No, it doesn't concern you." I said simply. Austin sighed and nudged me.

"Come on, you can talk to me." He said, I shook my head.

"I don't want to talk about because it's not going to make me feel better," I snapped, "so leave it alone." Once again he sighed and stopped walking, grabbing my hand and pulling me into his arms.

"I just want you to be okay," he whispered.

"I will be okay, I swear, I just don't want to talk about it." Because if I talk about it then it'll become too much of a reality and I might actually be gone.

Austin didn't say anything, just kisses the top of my head and pulled away to only grab my hand and tug me along.

"Come on, I want to show you someplace." He said softly. He pulled me along into the night, and I swear, just for once, I felt actually alright.

。。。

this chapter suuuucks and I'm sorry it took so long, but I'm really lazy and I sort of lost a little inspiration but not it's back and it's going good!

So I have a question and it's been one I've been contemplating for awhile now, but what if I were to post another cashby? Would anyone be up for that or is it just me?
