Chapter 5


   Me being an idiot, I kept trying to turn the doorknob hoping maybe it would open. After about an hour of no hope, I gave up. All of the feelings that have been swelling inside of me decided to come pouring out. I cried very silently into my knees. What have I done to deserve this? Caroline used to like me, now she seems broken without Alex. I just don't understand.

   I completely forgot that I had that little piece of paper I got from Ryan that had his phone number on it! I immediately took out of my phone and dialed his number. After two rings, he answered, "Hello?" I didn't exactly know what to say, so I just got to the point. "Um Ryan, so it turns out my foster mom now hates me and I'm locked in my room," I told him. "Huh? How?!" He grew very concerned, it was all in the voice.

   "All because my foster brother here ran away, I don't know much about the relationship between those two, but now she's quick to anger over every little thing, I don't know what to do!" I explained. "I think I can get you out of there, stay put," he then hung up. I began sweating, what was his plan? About two hours of silence went by when I then heard voices coming from the meeting area. A loud voice talking to a calm voice.

   It sounded like Ryan. I wonder what he was doing. At that moment the voices stopped and then I heard footsteps coming my way. All the locks coming undone and then the door swung open. "Lucille, come with me," Caroline told me with a blank expression on her face. She led me to that area where I saw Ryan holding a stack of papers. "Are you sure you want to go through with this Mr. Stiles?" She asked him in a serious tone. "Yes I am sure," he responded. He signed the papers and then gave them back to her.

   "Congratulations sir," her face never changed. "The adoption is complete." Adoption!? Hold on a second, Ryan's plan was to adopt me!? "I promise I will take good care of her," Ryan made a tiny smile to not get on her nerves it seemed. He then leaned down and whispered in my ear, "You're welcome." Caroline then instructed me to pack my things and then leave. Once everything was packed, I said goodbye to the other foster siblings, I'll miss them very much. 

   I nodded a goodbye to Caroline, who just stared daggers into my back as I walked out. Ryan loaded my luggage into his car and then we took off. "Why did you do that?" I had to ask. "The way how she was treating you before and with her being quick to anger, I knew justice had to be done immediately before anything got worse, so I decided to adopt you," he explained. "Are you sure you want that though? I don't want to be a burden," I looked down.

   "Look, ever since I met you, I knew there was definitely something in you, and when I kept seeing you shine on that stage with me and the guys, I knew that I wanted to be more a part of your life, I want to make it better and more so full of laughs and happiness," he said. I felt tears coming. That was the most beautiful thing anyone has ever said to me. "Thank you.." I said through my tears.

   "It's all my pleasure," he smiled. We arrived at his house and it looked really nice. But once I stepped in, it looked even better, all neat and tidy. It looked so amazing that I couldn't believe it was my new home. "Let me give you the tour, this is obviously the living room and the kitchen is over there," he pointed. He then led me up the stairs. "Over here is my bedroom, while right next-door, is your bedroom, go on, open the door," he said.

   I opened the door and what I saw on the inside surprised me so much. "Surprise!" Pretty much the whole Whose Line cast shouted. "Ryan told us everything that now he has a new house guest living with him!" Colin said. "You guys are amazing!" I wanted to cry again, for the 3rd time today. Wow I'm a mess. But I can't help it, these guys are just way too friendly. "Lucille, live and in person, the guys here have told me a lot about you," a voice from a person I knew all too well stepped forward and hugged me!

   "Oh my gosh, Robin Williams!! I'm a huge fan! I absolutely love your comedy skills, you are a comedic genius!" it was a little hard to talk with all this excitement piling up. "So are you!" He said back. They all stayed for dinner and we talked a lot. Drew, Jonathan, and Wayne kept giving out more ideas for the next show, Colin and Brad were laughing about some random funny thing Chip said, Ryan and Jeff were eating their food, Greg and Robin were trying to do voice impressions of any character they could think of, and I was just soaking it all in.

   This is my life now, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. After everyone left that night, Ryan and I headed up to my new room. I hung up a poster that Robin autographed for me right next to the desk. Ryan helped me unpack some belongings, while of course I handled my clothes. I was then finished with unpacking. I just still can't believe it, I now live with Ryan Stiles, away from Caroline and all the abuse that could've came, but was stopped.

   "Is there anything else you need before you head to bed?" Ryan asked. "Yes," I said. "What is it?" He wanted to know. I walked up to him and gave him the biggest hug I could. I honestly didn't want to let go. "Thank you for adopting me, I can already tell you'll be a great dad," I told him. "Anytime sweetheart, anytime," he replied. He then left the room to get ready for bed himself.

   I got into my bed and stared up at the ceiling, as I often do. I can actually go to bed now thinking nothing bad will happen. I then closed my eyes and kept thinking that I was in a new place and for once in my life, I have a cool and awesome father who loves me and many friends of his who are also friends of mine, but could now be considered as family. They're the best people I've ever come to know and they can always guarantee that there will always be a smile on my face.
