Adopted by One Direction

Chapter 4 *

~ Alexis POV ~

After they left my room I got out my suitcase and started packing. I didn't have much. Just a few clothes and my toothbrush.

Once I was done packing my clothes I walked over the old desk in the corner of tge room and opened a drawer. There it was. My journal I told all my feelings to. It knew everything about me except the fact that I was getting adopted.

I lifted it out of the drawer and then put it in my bag. I looked in the mirror in front of me. I disgust myself.

I just shook my head and looked away from the broken girl in the mirror.

I walked out of the room and down the stairs dragging my suitcase behind me. I walked into the room in front of the door where Jenn and the 5 boys stood there waiting for me.

Jenn smiled weakly at me then enveloped me in a comforting hug. "There the ones Lex, I can feel it. Just give them a chance," she whispered softly into my ear.

I hugged her tighter and let the tears prickling my eyes flow freely. How desperately I hope she is right. She let go and I turned to the boys who were smiling a little at me.

It's time to go one of them said but I wasn't looking at them so I didn't know who. I hugged Jenn one more time before saying, loud enough for everyone to hear,"I love you, Jenn."

~ Niall's POV ~

"I love you, Jenn," I heard Alexis say to the lady hugging her. Jenn, who was this lady I assumed, started crying and answered, "I love you. I know you can do this."

Alexis let go then turned to face us. She looked at us and we all slowly walked torwards the door and stepped outside.

I looked over at Lex who hadn't been outside in years and saw her shielding her eyes even though the sun wasn't really out.

We opened the door of the van and waited for her to get in but she just stood there frozen. Then Liam picked her up and walked her over to the car.

She started to scream once he picked her up. Liam had a sad look in his eyes and then he set her down in the van.

Fear was washing over her as we all got in. She pushed herself as close as she could against the other side of the car.

Liam was across from her, then Harry next to him, and Zayn next to him. I sat next to her and zayn next to me.

She looked at us all, scared and then I said softly trying not to frighten her. "Hello. I'm Niall. And this is Zayn, Liam, Louis, and Harry," pointing to each of then while saying their names.

"Have I meet you before?" She asked us.

"You've probably heard of us," Zayn said.

"This might ring a bell," I said pulling my phone from my pocket and turning on 'Little Things'

"Have you ever heard this song before?" I asked her. She nodded slowly. "Well, this is us."

Her eyes widened and then she whispered, "Please don't hurt me."

My eyes went wide. Why did she think we would hurt her?! "We won't ever hurt you, I promised you that, remember? And I will not break that promise." Louis said smiling an honest smilen

Se smiled back as we were pulling up in front of our flat. We all pilled out if the car and waited for Lex. She slowly crawled out and we walked up to the door.

Harry unlocked it and we walked inside and Liam put her suitcase he took, over to the living room. "Would you like to see your room?" Louis asked.

She nodded her head and they walked up the stairs that lead to all the rooms. (AN:I know they don't all live in the same flat but I'm just gonna pretend they do)

~ Alexis POV ~

I walked up the stairs, following Louis. He stopped in front of a door and opened it. I stepped in and gasped.

"Thank you," I said quietly. They were trying to bring my guard down by doing nice things but they don't fool me. I looked at the room.

The walls were a light blue color. The bed frame and furniture was all black. I walked into the room more and saw a desk with a lamp and computer.

The bed had a faded blue bed spread that matched the color of the walls and decorative pillows as well.

As I looked more I saw that I had my own bathroom across from my bed and a closet next to that.

"Do you like it?" Louis asked.

"Yes, thank you. Can you please get my bag and then leave me to unpack?" I asked him nicely.

"Sure," he answered back.

This was gonna take a lot of getting used to. I wasn't ready to tell them. I know that if I did end up staying here -which was highly unlikely- then they need to know, but they needed to earn my trust, which will be one of the hardest things of mine to givem

I walked over to my bed after he brought my bag up and let my body fall onto it. I silently cried to myself and let darkness overtake my body.
