I watched Evermore leave and started going through the catalog. There was a really cute pink and black comforter that I wanted but I didn't know my price limit or what to buy it with. As if to answer my question, my foster mom walked into the room with a credit card. A Platinum Credit Card!

"Here you go, sweetie. Just remember to be safe and responsible," she said and started to walk out.

"Thank you," I said for the first time in about five years.

"You're welcome." She made it out into the hallway and I heard her go downstairs. Then a male's laughter joined hers. Foster dad?? My curiosity beat my judgment and I tumbled down the stairs.

"Did you just fall," the guy asked.

I shook my head, "I was simply hugging the floor. Anyways, who are you?" The guy stopped laughing and put out his hand.

"Treavor, you're the new foster child right? MicahLynn? I am your foster dad."

"Why didn't you guys have your own children?" There was a moment of silence and I was kind of wondering if maybe it was too forward so I tried to be more subtle. "I mean, how come you guys foster children?" It was like I pressed the magic "Go!" button.

"Well, you see, when I was younger my parents...did things they shouldn't of and it damaged my body permanently so now I cannot have children and we now take in teens," she replied.

"Oh. Sorry." Then another question formed in my head. Man, I was on a roll! "How many foster children are there now?"

"Four. Two girls, two guys," Treavor replied. I couldn't help it, my interest peaked. And not just a little, a lot. But before I could ask another question the other chick...what was her name? Tamara! came down the stairs.

"Hello," she said, sticking out her hand to The Guy. "I am Evermore, you must be Treavor." The way she said his name was interesting, like she had an Italian side.

"Ah, yes, Evermore. I'm very glad you'll be with us," The Guy replied. She smiled that dazzling smile of hers but it didn't last long because as soon as the guys stepped inside the door my smile went on, her smile went off...completely.

Chapter Seven: Tamara's P.O.V.


Jake. Jake. Was. Here. I swear I almost went into Angel Form, I was that pissed and shocked. "Well, I didn't expect to find you here, Jake," I said with a forced smile. He laughed and came over to me. His arms wrapped around me in an imitation of a hug, but it takes two to hug, unfortunately. Since I didn't hug him back he didn't get to have a real hug. He pulled back awkwardly and let out a sigh.

"Well, I guess everyone deserves some surprises in there life, eh," he asked. I rolled my eyes and turned back to MicahLynn.

"MicahLynn, Jake, Jake, MicahLynn," I said, laughing when Micah did a small, awkward wave. "Well, I'm going to go upstairs... don't get into too much trouble." I dashed up the steps after Jake let out a sigh and an eye roll. MicahLynn stayed downstairs and her laughter carried up to my room. I walked over to my closet and opened it to girly clothes. My hands kept sweeping through the boxes of clothing until I ran across something that was soft and seemed comfortable. I pulled out a pink silk dress that had black on its edges.

"At least its short sleeve," I whispered to myself and slipped it on after taking off my old clothes. My hair didn't need much tweaking considering it was professionally done just this morning but I still fluffed it out a bit.

"Evermore, time for dinner," my foster mom called from somewhere downstairs. I sighed and went down the steps, making Jake turn and look at me in awe.

"You look very dashing, might I say," he said, making me want to gag but I put on a smile and continued into the kitchen. Through the kitchen I went into the dining area and helped put the boat of gravy onto the table. MicahLynn and Jake came through the swinging door behind me and sat down. Soon we had all seated and started eating. I remained quiet through the meal so that Jake didn't have a reason to talk to me but him and Micah surely it off. Maybe they could date, who knows.

"So, Evermore, how has your day been going?" Treavor asked me.

"My day has been fine. I can't wait for school tomorrow, we have a pep rally," I replied in a cheerful voice, the exact opposite of what I was feeling. Jake smiled at me before turning away and looked at Treavor.

"I wish I could get to know Evermore better but, unfortunately, I have to leave," he said and abruptly stood up.
