CHARLOTTE POV.

I got down stairs to see 10 guys just standing there including Matt, Nash and Hayes. I was pretty creeped out. "Um, hi," I said just smiling they all looked at Matt. "How old is she?" One of the guys asked. "She looks like Hayes age!" Another one adds. "Can we sit down?" Matt asked as he walked into another room. "You can come too Charlotte!" He yelled.

I followed behind the heard of boys. I sat at the kitchen table when all of the other boys just stood up and started talking. "So?" One asked. "Well, her name is Charlotte and she is 14," He said while he looked at me. All of the boys turned their head. One came up to me, "Hey, I'm Shawn," He said as he sat down beside me. They all cam up and introduced them selves as; Taylor, Aaron, Jack Johnson, Jack Gilinsky, Cameron Dallas and Carter Reynolds. They all crowded around me.

"Guys, seriously? Give her some room," Matt said as he handed me a sandwich, "Thank you," I replied while I looked up at him. The guys kept staring, have they ever seen and adopted 14 year old before? "So what do you guys do?" I asked trying to get them to stop starring. "We are viners, well we all are except Shawn who is a singer and Nash and Cameron are actors in making," Carter said.

"What is a viner?" I asked. They all looked at me like I was stupid or something. "We make 7 second videos online," Nash said. "Oh," I replied feeling pretty embarrassed. We sat in silence for 10 minutes. "Do you all live here?" I asked. "No just me, but Nash and Hayes stay over a lot when ever they are in the area," He told me. I just smiled. "Do you think I can look around?" I asked. "Yeah, of course sweet heart, Hayes go with her will you?" Matt said. "Yeah sure," Hayes said before he started to show me around.

"So, how long have you been in the orphanage?" He asked as we walked outside. "6 years," I replied while I looked at the green grass. "6 years, oh wow that is a long time," He said. "Yeah, it is," It went silent for a minute. "You want to know how I ended up in an orphanage, don't you?" I asked while I looked in his eyes. "Yeah," "Well, when I was 8, my mom was taking me and my brother to a carnival and we got into a car accident. My mom died instantly but me and my brother was rushed to the hospital, I made it but my brother didn't. After that, my dad stopped acting like a dad to me so a year later when I was 9, I ended up in an orphanage," I told him, he looked behind me, I turned around to see all the boys standing there.

MATT POV.

"Are you serious dude, how can you look after a 14 year old girl?" Taylor asked. "I will get by," I replied. "She is not a boy, if she was a boy it would be different but she is a young lady!" Carter said as he came and sat down beside me. "Come on, lets go and have a look at something," I told them as I got up off of the chair I was sitting on and went out where Charlotte and Hayes was. We heard their conversation about what happened that she ended up in an orphanage, she turned around to see us all starring at her. I was speechless.

She started to get tears in her eyes, she ran up towards me and hugged me. "I'm sorry!" I whispered in her ear. All the boys crowded around her. "Are you okay?" I asked her as she pulled away. "Yep, I just wasn't expecting you guys to hear all that," she said as wiped away her tears. We went back inside and I decided to put on a movie, because honestly I had no idea what else to do. She sat down and Hayes and Cameron sat beside her. "What do you like to do?" Cam asked her trying to make small talk. "Well, I really like to sing I guess," She replied with a small smile.

"Do you want to sing?" Taylor asked butting into the conversation. "I don't think I'm that good," She replied looking back at the tv. Everyone all started to yell Charlottes name, "Charlotte! Charlotte! Charlotte!" "Okay, okay, okay! Only if you guys shut up," She said with a smile. She started to sing a song out of Peter Pan, I don't know why Peter Pan but I feel like it was the only song that she knew. She stopped singing and all of us boys looked at each other, "What?" She chuckle.

"You are amazing!" I said. "You know Jack and I are singers right, I reckon we could produce you," Jack Gilinsky said. "Are you serious! I've never really thought about singing!" She said. We all started to smile, but I noticed Hayes was smiling a bit too much.

An hour later all of the other guys had to leave except Nash and Hayes because they were staying for a while. "Bye! See you tomorrow?" Charlotte asked. "Yeah of course sweet heart!" Johnson said to her before she hugged all the guys and they left. "How are you liking everything?" I asked as she came inside.

"Everything is amazing! I know that it is really fast, but can I call you dad?" She asked me. I had a huge smile on my face, Nash and Hayes were standing in the door way behind us. "Yes! I would love it if you would call me that!" I told her before I hugged her tightly. Nash and Hayes started to smile, I loved the fact that Charlotte called me dad.

CHARLOTTE POV.

I just called Matt dad and I loved the thought of him being my dad. He hugged me tightly after I called him dad. After calling him dad it was late so I decided to go to bed. "Hey, can I share your room with you?" Hayes asked me. "Yeah if you want, if it is okay with dad," I said as I smiled at him. I loved the sound of that, 'dad'. "Yeah, only because that is where you normally stay anyway," He said. I walked up stairs heading towards my new room, Hayes followed behind me. "What do you want to sleep on?" I asked him. "I will just sleep on the floor with a pillow," He said with a smile.

I was laying in my bed, in my room. "Hey, what was it like?" Hayes asked me from the ground. "What liked?" I asked while I sat up and looked at him. "The orphanage ," He said quietly. "Oh, right. Well, you would always hope that someone would come and adopt you, but after a while you just kinda give up. But it was kinda like you had a big family, there was this girl that I shared my room with, she was 10 and her parents left her when she was younger," I told him, his bright blue eyes went brighter.

We stay up talking for an hour until dad and Nash came in and joined us. We watched a movie on Nash's laptop on my bed. I fell asleep next to dad and I heard Nash and dad leave, "Your lucky dude," Nash said before they left the room which caused me to smile. I think I was the lucky one.
