Adopted by Fifth Harmony (BOOK 1)

Chapter 26

Lauren's pov

I wake up to hear a dinging sound. It was the fasten seatbelt ding. I put mine on and put Callie's on for her. She was still asleep. The plane landed and I carried Callie off the plane. She woke up once we were in the airport and walked the rest of the way. I take her hand and we walk together. Camila grabs my other free hand and she has Jordan's hand in her other one. (so it's Jordan, Camila, Lauren and Callie in a row) We get our bags and then head to the limo. We get in and go home. Callie goes straight to her room. I put my bags in the room and lay on my bed, camz sets Jordan on my bed and then she lays on hers and I pull Jordan closer and she snuggles closer to me. We all end up falling asleep.

Callie's pov
I went to my room to act like I was going to sleep. But I really wasn't. I acted like I was sleeping so I didn't have to answer any of the questions mom or any of the girls would have about my parents and what was going on. I look at Twitter and Instagram and follow some of the fans and read the hate. Which made me want to cut more. After a while and set my phone down and I then just lay there and try to figure out how I'm going to hide this lump on my arm. That lead to something my dad said

You better not tell you new family about what happened or someone will die. I know where you are and I always will. I will find you and you will be mine again he says

What did he mean by that? Part of me wants to tell mom and the girls but I can't put them at risk. That's to much risk I want them safe.
But how am I going to keep this from them? I finally started telling them everything.

I turn on my pandora app on my phone and play a random playlist. The first song that comes on is Demi's song Warrior.

This is a story that I have never told
I gotta get this off my chest to let it go
I need to take back the light inside you stole
You're a criminal
And you steal like you're a pro

All the pain and the truth
I wear like a battle wound
So ashamed, so confused
I was broken and bruised

Now I'm a warrior
Now I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me again

Out of the ashes, I'm burning like a fire
You can save your apologies, you're nothing but a liar
I've got shame, I've got scars
That I will never show
I'm a survivor
In more ways than you know

Cause all the pain and the truth
I wear like a battle wound
So ashamed, so confused
I'm not broken or bruised

'Cause now I'm a warrior
Now I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me

There's a part of me I can't get back
A little girl grew up too fast
All it took was once, I'll never be the same
Now I'm taking back my life today
Nothing left that you can say
Cause you are never gonna take the blame anyway

Now I'm a warrior
I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me again

No oh, yeah, yeah

You can never hurt me again

Camila's pov

I woke up to hear singing. I knew it was Callie. I slowly sat up and listened to her sing the song. She hit every note perfectly. She's such a strong girl for what she's gone through. If I was her I would probably not be there. High school wasn't easy for me but it defiantly was harder for her. It's crazy to think that this happens to people around the world just like Callie. None of them deserve the crap they go through no one does! I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. It sucks watching people suffer like that. The singing stops and it's silent again. I lay back down and fall asleep again.

Later

I wake up by Lauren gently shaking me. I get up and check the time. 6pm I slept for a hour and a half. Jordan was now awake and playing with her baby that Dinah got her. She takes that baby everywhere. To say she loved it would be a understatement.

Hey camz want to go see if Callie is awake? The girls want to go get food. Asks Lauren putting on her signature leather jacket.

Yeah of course Laur! I respond happily

I grab Callie's room key and go next door. I gently knock on the door.

Callie the girls and I are going to get food. Lauren is getting ready and since I was the first one ready she asked me to make sure you were awake and getting ready to go. I say through the door.

Uh ok Cam thanks I'll be ready in 10 says Callie she sounded to sad and like she had been crying.

Can I come in? I ask

No I'm... naked she says

Ok just come to Lauren and I's room when your finished getting ready. I say

I hear a faint ok before going back to my room. I knock and Jordan opens up

Cami! Says Jordan

Jordz! I say picking her up and spinning her around. She giggles and holds on to me.

Hey Laur? I ask

Yeah camz what's up? She responds looking at her phone not bothering to look up

Callie's acting weird. I say

How so? She says setting her phone down immediately and looking at me

I explain to her our conversation and I wait for her to say something.

I will talk with her after we get back from dinner. She has been distant from me. Says Lauren.

Ok I will watch Jordan and go to Dinah ally's and Normani's room. I say

Ok she says

Callie and the others make their way over and we all head to the SVU. We get in and drive to a diner called Bob's Diner snd we all order our food.

Callie barely ate half of her food. I don't think I was the only one who noticed.

After we pay the bill we head back to the hotel where I take Jordan to the other girls room and Lauren and Callie go into Callie's room.

We watch Jordan's favorite movie tangled. Like always Jordan is out halfway through the movie. Ally and I are the only ones watching intently while Normani and Dinah are on their phones.

I wonder how the talk went with Laur and Callie.
