Adopted (A 1D Fanfic)

Chapter Five

Chapter Five.

I woke up, covered in sweat as I tried to stop myself from screaming out. Yet again, I'd had another nightmare. This happens almost every time I sleep,especially when I'm away from the orphanage. Sighing, I calmed myself down before looking at the alarm clock sitting next to me, half past 4. Knowing I wouldn't get anymore sleep, I decided to go downstairs. Creeping down the stairs as quietly as possible, I reached the kitchen where I proceeded to get a glass and fill it with water. Sitting down at the kitchen table, I laid my head on the table and just sat there... thinking. Thinking about when I was younger, about the the orphanage, about...everything.

'Sadie, what are you doing down here so early?' I jumped up as I realised someone was down here. I looked up to see Niall, looking a bit worried.

'Uhh, I'm sorry... I-I'll go..' I stood up and made my way over to the door, Niall blocked my way.

'What's up?' He asked as he wiped the tears that I didn't know extisted from my face. I just shook my head before I was pulled into an unexpecting bone-crushing hug. However I, for once didn't flinsh. I just appriecated the fact that someone was comforting me when I needed it most. We stood there for a moment before Niall broke the silence.

'Do you want to talk about it?' He asked, I thought for a minute before nodding. We sat down in the front room, yet again in a peaceful silence. 'So, is there a reason you're down here at this time?' He asked.

'I-i had a nightmare. It sounds really childish, sorry.'

Niall's POV:

'There's no reason to be sorry love.' I said giving her a hug again.

'The-they were going to hurt me. The-they want to hurt me' She cried, tears streaming down her face.  

'What? Who were going to hurt you?' I asked, getting worrried.  

'M-mark and J-j-jack.' She chocked on her sobs. It was clear that she didn't want to say any more as she snuggled into my chest. I rubbed her bak soothingly, trying to calm her down as I started singing to her. Slowly her crying stopped and she slowly started to drift off into a sleep. 

I sat there for a while, staring into space, trying to work out who them two men were. I eventually decided that I would ask Louis tomorrow and closed my eyes, falling to sleep with Sadie still hugging me tightly. I hope she doesn't have any more nightmares tonight.

Sadies POV:

'Aw, that's cute!' 

'Should we wake them?' 

'Why are they down here?' 

'Why are there tear stains on her cheeks?'

I woke up to see four boy's faces staring at me. I shrunk back, before realising that it was only Zayn, Louis, Liam and Harry. Thoughts of last night came flooding back as I turned my head to see Nialls chest rising up and down with every breath he took. I must've fallen asleep whilst Niall was comforting me.  

'Sorry,did we wake you?' Zayn asked, I nodded and then reassured him that it didn't matter.  

Standing up, I looked at Niall who was still asleep on the sofa, he must of felt so uncomfortable with me laying on him. I felt guilty as I stood up and made my way into the kitchen where Harry was cooking some breakfast. 

'Backing sandwich?' He asked, offering me a plate which I gratefully accepted and wolfed down. By the time I had finished, Niall had woke up and we were all sitting in the kitchen.  

'So.. what are we going to do today?' Liam asked, putting his plate into the sink.  

'I think we should go shopping!' Louis suggested. 'Sadie needs some new clothes and stuff for her room.'  

The boys all agreed and left the kitchen to get ready. I went up to my room where I jumped into the shower, waging my hair and body with a cherry scented shampoo. After getting out of the shower, I got dressed. Finally deciding on a flowery top and a pair of leggings. I quickly dried and styled my hair before pulling on my trainers and grabbing my phone, checking the time as I did it. 1:30 - wow,had I really slept in that late?! 

Running down the stairs with my phone and purse in hand, the boys were all lounging on the sofa watching some boring looking programme.  

'You ready to go?' Liam asked as he noticed me standing in the doorway. I nodded and him and the other boys all stood up. Harry picked up the car keys to his large 7-seater and we all left the house, piling into the car.  

Niall drove, with Liam in shotgun so the rest of us all sat in the boot or back of the car. I sat down next to Louis who wrapped and arm around me as I cuddled into his chest.  

'We're heree!' Zayn yelled, jumping out if the car as we pulled up and parked outside a shopping centre. The boys each pulled our a disguise of sunglasses and a hat, to make sure they weren't seen and chased around the whole shopping centre.  

'Wow, it's massive!' I gasped as I got out the car and looked at the huge building standing in front of me. It must've been at least 3 floors high!  

'Well, what are we waiting for? We'e got some shopping to do!' Louis said, dragging me into the building.  

The place was packed full of busy shoppers roaming in and out if the shops, some carrying many brightly coloured bags full of purchases.  

We walked around the shipping centre for a big before i noticed a massive Forever 21. I asked Louis and the rest of the boys if we could go in there, in which they agreed and quickly dragged them to one of my all time favourite shops.  

I haven't been shopping in a long time and rarely do, however when I do go to the local shopping centre, I always go to Forever 21 and buy practically everything in store.  

As we walked in, I couldn't believe my sight. Endless racks of clothing items filled the store, all different colours and prints. It was like a heaven for all shopaholics!

Two and a half hours, and a few bags of clothes later, we were finally heading back home. 

'Now, when we get home. Our manager, Simon wants to meet you.' Louis explained. I nodded, trying to act like I was perfectly okay with meeting this man, whoever he was. However, inside I was freaking out. 

* 

'Ding-Dong' the doorbell chimed, and all the boys stood up, it must be Simon. The boys instructed me to stay here whilst they greeted him.  

A man wearing a dark grey jumper, who must have been around the age of 50 walked in, followed by the boys who were looking encouragingly at me.  

'H-hi, I'm S-sadie' I managed a weak smile 

'I'm Simon, the boys' manager. It's lovely to meet you.' He replied. 

Unexpectedly he pulled me into a huge hug, and before I knew it, a flashback overtook me...
