Oz
Hey, I am not sure how to address it but I saw it and I know I shouldn't have read it but I did and I can't take that back. If it is too much stress to adopt me it is okay. Like I would like that but I can stay with the fosters.

Hey! So it was weird reading a private convo between Oz and Vee. I know I shouldn't have. But I did. Now I feel like a turd but I also totally have to Oz about it. So now I am babbling at you.

Oh my God no, Karen. It's not too stressful.

Honestly it's just me being a little freaked out over literally being without a home right now.

Okay. If you are sure. And it doesn't have to happen right away. You can get settled.

I'm positive. It's not like I only thought about this recently, you know? Trust me, I want to do this. It's not too much.

Yeah, I figured I'd probably not be able to adopt you the very second I leave. But we'll have all summer and you don't have to stay at your foster's the whole time, you can stay anywhere you like. I just want to secure a job and a place to live before I leave and start the process.

Hopefully before next school year starts I'll at least have temporary custody.

I knew it wouldn't happen right away but if it takes longer that is okay. The fosters are fine and I always have a place to stay. I just didn't want you to be too freaked out about it.

Truth is, whether or not I had planned to adopt you I would be freaked out about it. Even if [...] things were different, and I had a place to fall back to that didn't rely on the charity of other people I would still be freaked out about it. Graduating and starting a real life and real career is kind of terrifying.

I just want to do the right thing, you know?

It would be stressful and a big thing to handle. I just don't want to pile stress on top of you. I know you want to do the right thing.

You're not, I promise you. I'd be honest and tell you I couldn't do this.

Okay. I know you would be honest so I will stop fretting over the added stress.

Good. I don't want you to needlessly worry, okay?

Okay, no needless worrying.

I'm really sorry you had to see that and it made you upset.

I shouldn't have read it. But I did and then I didn't want you to feel like you must. But we are on the same page and talking is good.

Was it one of their weird cute conversations? That would scar anyone.

Sort of. More about the fact he is about to be homeless soon and that he is trying to get ready to adopt me. So they had their cuteness to it but it was all just a lot to read and like I am the cause of the extra stress.

Adopting you is probably the easiest thing on his list once he graduates. But if it was a conversation between them, I doubt Vee will let him be homeless for long, if at all. Her head's screwed on so well the bolts broke a long time ago.

Yeah, I know she wouldn't. I just don't want him more stressed about finding a place and a job you know.

We should get foam swords and beat Oz with them so he doesn't have to beat himself silly over his impending adulthood.

That sounds like something fun we should do over break, actually...

That does sound fun.

I'll probably be at your house over break anyways.

Oz and I talked it over and he told me not to worry, but I probably still will.

I was already going, but now I guess I am definitely going home over break. We can make finding a foam sword our top priority once we're back.

Hey, I'm on his side with this. You have enough to worry about already, let him handle the rest.

This sounds amazing.

Okay okay. I will stop worrying.

Is there anything else you want to do?

I haven't really thought about it.

Oz said he may even let me go to a Carney party.

Anything you wanna do?

Hmm. I haven't really thought about it either, I just knew I was going home. But I'm sure the four of us can come up with something good besides bum around.

I agree we will find something to do to keep us entertained.

We always will. There's no shortage of imagination between you, Oz, and I. Maaaaybe Vee too, but let's not push it.

Aww poor Vee, don't count her out. But you're right the three of us could totally think something up, a creative bunch.

Hey, I love my sister but I have to tease her even when she's not there. It's my god given right. You should exorcise yours against Oz more. That kind of love makes everything more fun!

I do enjoy watching Oz panic or get flustered. Just mention a boy and watch him flail.

Ooohhh that's evil. I love it!

You know we have to do that over break, right? I really want to see his reaction.

Okay, adding it to the list.

Perfect. We're going to have a great break at this rate.

I agree. One of the best.
