Adopted by Fifth Harmony

Chapter 1

Skylar's POV

"Skylar wake up, we have guests coming today". I open my eyes to see Ms.Daisy, the Hopewell Orphanage worker. I try to close my eyes and go back to 'sleep' but there's no point, I've been up most of the night from nightmares. I groan but get up anyway, what choice do I have?

After Ms.Daisy leaves I go to my bathroom. Yeah I get having my own bathroom makes it sound like this orphanage is rich, the truth is it's not, we have just enough money to get by. Once I hear the familiar 'click' of the door I break down. I let my hair out of my bun and stand there in nothing but a sports bra and underwear, my scars are all showing. Each scar has a story, the stories of mine just so happen to be more demented then most. I finally get in the shower then get ready for the day. I leave my blonde hair naturally wavy and throw on black skinny jeans, a white 'American Eagle' shirt, and slip on my grey vans. I apply a little foundation to cover up the circles under my eyes, then add some mascara to make my blue eyes pop. After I'm ready I head downstairs to the hell hole I call home.

"Skylar honey, you have to eat" Ms.Daisy has been trying for about 8 months to get me to eat but each time it doesn't work. It's not that I don't want to, it's just I can't bring myself to eat. No matter how hard I try I can never complete a meal and when I do it always end up being throw up. After about five minutes of arguing she finally gives up and helps the other kids get ready for the surprise guests. As she does that I plug in my head phones and listen to Lana Delrey.

I must've zoned out because a few minutes later Ms.Daisy is in front of me along with five other girls who don't look much older then 19. Soon enough one of them decides to talk to me, great.

Lauren's POV

When we got to the orphanage the owner Mss.Daisy showed us all the kids, none of them seemed right. "Aren't there anymore?" I asked her after we saw what she said was the last one. "Well" she started off, "there is one more, but I have to warn you she's very shy. She's had a rough past so be prepared." I nodded and followed her into what looked like the kitchen.

A few minutes later the girl looked up kinda shocked, she looked zoned out. "Hi, I'm Lauren" I said. She looked at me for a second and in that split second I stared into her blue eyes and saw how broken she really was. Just for a split second I could tell that she was hurt before. My heart broke at the look in her eyes.

Skylar's POV

As soon as I looked into that girl Lauren's eyes I felt a connection, I felt as if she'd be willing to hear my story and I'd be willing to share it. "Ms.Daisy?" I heard Lauren say, "would it be okay for us to talk to Skylar?" Ms.Daisy quickly nodded and led us to an empty room, me, Lauren, and four others who I've yet to learn the names of sat in the room, all eyes went on me.

I looked around the room uncomfortably since I knew only one person in it, and as if reading my mind they introduced themselves. "Well, I'm Normani." The dark skinned girl spoke. "Hey, I'm Ally." The short ones voice just felt so calming. "Hi! I'm Camila! Or Camz, or Mila! Just call me anything you'd like!" The dark hair girl spoke rather loudly which scared me at first but the look in her eyes showed she was harmless. Then there was one left, "I'm Dinah." The girl with ombré hair looked scary at first but when she smiled I felt like I was safe.

"Well," Lauren said "we were wondering if you'd be okay with us adopting you?" What?! Me! Adopting me?! The demons clawed at the back of my head, begging to be let in. I fought and fought for them to stay out. I lost the fight. Within seconds my breathing was out of control, shaking took over my body. I looked around and everyone looked terrified, except Lauren. Lauren took my hands and stared into my eyes. "Match my breathing" she said continuously. I did as was told and before I knew it I calmed down. As soon as I realized what happened I went bright red in embarrassment.

Lauren's POV

As soon as Skylar's breathing calmed down she went red in embarrassment. "Hey, don't worry about it" I said, trying to make her realize it's not a bad thing. "It's a panic attack, I get them all the time also, it's nothing to be embarrassed of." As soon as I said those words I felt the tension ease and she looked at me and said "yes" at first I was confused then she realized and said, "yes, I'm okay with you adopting me." My heart practically ripped out of my chest and my smile was from ear to ear. I was so happy. I got up to find Ms.Daisy. I was going to have a daughter!
