5SOS IMAGINES

Your adopted and afraid of him (Michael)

Age: 10 His Age: 20

I wake up in the foster home on my last day here. I see my case worker. We bring my stuff to the lobby and I see my new parents and a guy with red hair. I start getting nervous. The last family I went to, I was beaten badly. I walk over and bite my lip.

"Hey Y/N. I'm Michael, your older brother," the guy says.

I wave and we go to the car. I hold my lion stuffie. I sit in my booster seat. The guy, gets in the back with me. I hug my lion. We stop at the store and I look. My adopted mum, Karen gets me out and we walk in. I hold her hand. She puts me in a cart and I look around. They get groceries and I get a sucker. We start heading home and I still don't talk to to the boy. We get home and I grab my bag.

"I can carry that if you would like," he says.
"I.....I got it," I stutter.

I hurry inside and he shows me my room. It's pink and purple. My favorite colors. I unpack as karen walks in.

"Sweetie, can I ask you something," she asks me.
"Yes ma'am," I say.
"Were you abused at you other homes," she asks.
"Yes ma'am. Please don't tell that boy though..... He scares me," I reply.
"Mikey is a big teddy bear. He even has a stuffed lion named Daniel," she says and I nod.

I sit on the bed and see him walk into the room next to mine. She hugs me.

"No one will ever hurt you again. Me, your dad, and your brother will protect you. Mikey especially. He's always wanted a younger sister. You two will be close soon," she says then walk out.

I see coloring books and crayons. I go to the table where they are and sit down. I start drawing and a tear rolls down my face. Remembering what the last family did to me.

*FLASHBACK*

I was laying on my bed as he came in. Beating me again for the vase breaking. Legs and arms covered in bruises. My foster brother eventually leaves my room and I pack my bag. I run back to the orphanage. They see the bruises and ask me what happened. I tell them everything.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

Michael comes in as I'm crying.

"Hey, it's okay. Your okay," he says hugging me.

I keep crying and he starts singing to me. I slowly calm down and wipe my eyes.

"What's got you all upset kitten," he asks.
"Nothing. Can I call you Mikey," I ask quietly.
"You can call me whatever you want. Just don't call me late for supper," he jokes.
"Wi....will you color with me Mikey," I ask.

He nods and colors with me. I suddenly hear yelling and three more voice by the front door and I go to my bed. Michael leaves and I see his drawing. I smile and set it on my dresser. The voices get closer. I see Mikey and three other boys walk to my room.

"Y/N, these are my best friends. The one with the bandana is Ashton. The blond one is Luke, and the one that has his chest showing is Calum. Wanna say hi," he asks.
"Hi," I whisper and hug my lion.

Ashton comes in and smiles. He starts drawing a picture and I see it's me and my lion. I giggle and Mikey smiles. He finishes and gives it to me.

"Thanks Ashy," I say looking at it.
"No problem hun," he says.

They leave and I play with my stuffie. I don't realize that Michael is at my door.

"I know Dani. they're nice and all but you know what happened last time. I don't want it to happen again. Especially with bubba Mikey. My last brother hurt me bad," I say.

I yawn and lay down. Eventually I fall asleep.

Michael's Point of view:

I go to check on Y/N. She's talking to her lion.
