Love Me

I wake up with a jolt, surprised at the light beaming into my room. I can't believe I slept that long. I also can't believe they haven't woken me up to do chores yet. I get out of bed and walk downstairs timidly.

"Good morning Aurora." Harry says from in the kitchen.

"Good morning?" I respond as more of a question than a statement. I stand there awkwardly, waiting for someone to tell me what to do.

"It's okay to sit, you know." Niall says from his position on the couch. I take a seat hesitantly on the edge of the couch. Suddenly, the door swings open.

"Good morning everyone!" Eleanor pipes from the doorway.

"Hi Eleanor!" I say, happy with her presence.

"Hey Aurora! Are you still up for shopping today?" she asks.

"Yeah! I mean, if I am allowed to..." I say. She chuckles, but her face drops when she sees that I am being serious.

"Well, if it will make you feel better, we will go ask Lou." she says. I nod and follow her down the hall. She stops in front of a door and knocks.

"Hey Louis! Aurora wants to ask you something!" she says. The door opens to reveal a smiling Louis.

"Hey babe! What's up?" he asks.

"Ermm, I was wondering if I could maybe go shopping with Eleanor?" I ask.

"Of course! Just stay right here for a minute before you leave." he says, rushing back into his room. I stand there astounded that he actually said I could go. He reappears holding a silver card.

"Here, take this." he says.

"what is it?" I ask. He chuckles.

"It's a credit card. This is what you can use to pay for your new clothes." he says.

"What? I-I can't take that..." I say. If I take it, he'll expect me to use it. If I use it, then I owe him. I can't stand owing people.

"Yes you can! I'm your dad, I'm supposed to do stuff like this! Now, go on and have fun. Love you! Bye!" he says, shoving the card into my hands. I turn to Eleanor.

"Don't feel bad about spending Louis' money. He has enough of it and he actually makes you feel worse if you don't spend it." she says. I shrug uncomfortably. We walk out to her car and she yells that I am with her to all of the guys.

During the ride, I just sit back and think about what Louis said. He referred to himself as my dad. And he said he loved me. No one has ever told me that before...

And it felt good.

"Eleanor?" I ask.

"Yes?" she counters.

"What should I call Louis, Liam, Zayn, Harry, and Niall?"

"Well, Louis would be thrilled if you called him dad. Then there's uncle Liam, Uncle Zayn, uncle Haz, and Uncle Niall. " she says.

"Ok. Thanks."

We soon arrive at a mall. We immediately scurry in and begin shopping. Eleanor does most of the Looking. She finds me an entire wardrobe, which is good considering the only clothes I own are the ones on my back right now. A magazine rack catches my eye.

"ONE DIRECTION'S DAUGHTER?

It has been rumored that Louis Tomlinson has recently adopted a child! With blue eyes and brown hair, she holds remarkable resemblance to the band member. Could she really be adopted? Or maybe she is Louis' real birth daughter? Tweet us your thoughts!"

I laugh at how wrong they are. I have black hair and grey eyes. I wish I had brown hair and blue eyes. Eleanor looks over the article and chuckles too. We soon head back to the flat and I hang my new clothes back and return Louis' card. I am called down for dinner.

I walk downstairs and sit between Louis and Eleanor. I look at the plate in front of me. How much do they expect me to eat? I munch on a few carrots before setting my fork down.

"Aurora, have you eaten today?" Louis asks.

"Yea..."

"What did you have?"

"Those carrots."

"That's not enough, love. You need to eat more." he reasons.

"Why wouldn't you want to? Hazza's cooking is delicious!" Niall says. Zayn nods in agreement and Harry just sits there and beams with pride. Louis and Liam watch me in expectance.

"Here, you eat 14 more bites and you can be done.'" Eleanor says. I sigh but pick my fork back up.

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13... 14.

"There. I'm finished." i say after few minutes of eating.

"Good job. I'm proud of you." Louis states. A smile tugs at my lips, but I yawn instead.

"Tired?" Zayn asks. I nod. "You can head up to bed. One of us will come tuck you in in a moment."

I nod and go to my room, snuggling into my cozy bed.

*Louis' POV*

"Who is tucking her in?" Zayn asks.

"I will" I say.

"Aww! But you two already spend so much time together!" Niall whines. I laugh.

"Well, you can tuck her in tomorrow." he sighs but agrees.

I walk upstairs and am greeted by two sparkling grey eyes.

"Goodnight Aurora. Sleep tight. Sweet dreams and no nightmares tonight." I say. She nods.

"good night dad." she says tiredly. She flips over to go to sleep. I beam. She called me dad!

"I love you. Good night, lovely." I say, leaving the room and flipping off the lights. The smile never leaves my face.

She called me dad!
