Waiting for Superman - Louis Tomlinson

Chapter 5

It's been a few months, and I'm proud to say that my dad was arrested and taken care of and I'm proud to be a legal woman now. I'm now living with the boys in their flat that they bought after the X Factor. Even though they didn't win, they still are very famous, and got signed by Simon Cowell. The boys were very excited, and I'm still trying to get used to living with all five of them. Five boys is really difficult, considering my relationship situation. Oh, right, I've actually never been kissed or had a boyfriend. I'm ok with it though seeing as I'm surrounded by five boys constantly. Ok, well I gotta go. Sorry about the lack of videos lately, I just finished getting my room together and everything unpacked.

"Mary! Pizza is here!" I heard Niall's voice call from downstairs.

 I quickly closed my computer and rand downstairs, immediately grabbing the pizza boxes out of Niall's hands.

"Everyday, I feel like you truly are my sister..." Niall said laughing a little before he took a box from me as I stared in awe at the delicious pizza.

"I'm just a small girl who likes food...." I said shrugging before I took a huge bite out of a piece.

 "I don't even think you're a girl at all..." Louis said with a chuckle as he sat next to me at the table.

"Ass...." I muttered through my pizza-filled mouth.

"No need for those words..." Liam said as he grabbed a slice and sat across from Niall.

"What the hell do you expect?! I'm living with five teenage boys. I'm afraid that if I don't act like this, I might not get fed!" I said angrily as I continued eating.

"Well, can't you make your own food?" Zayn asked joining us at the table.

"Yes, but the thing is, it was all food for my dad. I actually only ate once a month. Maybe twice if I was lucky." I said shrugging.

 "So, you've basically never had food before?" Niall asked in shock.

"I guess you could put it that way." I said as I grabbed another piece.

"He basically starved you?! Why would anyone do that to their kid?!" Louis' tone changed to anger as he glared at the pizza in his hand.

 "If I didn't do what he wanted the right way or at the right moment then I'd get beaten, and I would get food. I was used to it. I've been starved like that since I was six." I said continuing to eat as the boys just stopped what they were doing and listened to me.

"Well, you're safe now, Mary. You don't have to worry about that bastard anymore. You also don't have to worry about starving. We should've bought you your own pizza..." Niall said laughing a little as he continued to watch me eat.

 "Once again, thanks. I'd probably be dead..." I said as I finished eating my fifth piece of pizza.

---2 hours later---

All of the lads had gone to the store leaving me at home to watch tv. I sat on the couch trying not to fall asleep from boredom. It was the middle of the day, so I don't get why I was so tired. I guess it was just the environment. The peaceful room. No drunken person in sight. Me not having to face abuse anymore. I haven't cut in two months which makes me really happy. The boys have really helped me, and they even remind me to take my depression meds. Louis has really helped me the most with me having small panic attacks every now and then. I was even told by Niall that I had a really bad panic attack, but I kept asking for Louis through my hyperventilating. It might've just been from me knowing that he's the only one who can handle my panic attacks.

"Hi..." I heard a voice say from behind me scaring the living shit out of me.

I turned around and saw Louis standing behind the couch and staring down at me.
