Adopted by One Direction ON HOLD

Chapter 3

Nicole's POV

I woke up and did my regular morning routine. I was about to go down stairs when I stopped at my door. I remembered that I wasn't allowed down because the guests were coming early in the morning.
I sat on my bed and started to cry. I looked in the mirror across my bed. Disgusting. I hated my self.
Then I went to the bathroom and tried to calm myself down. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a razor. I slowly went up to it and picked it up. I held it up against my wrist and slid it down. Blood oozed from my wrist as I continued to do small cuts all over my arms. I put the razor back and grabbed a towel to wipe away the blood when it stopped bleeding.
I went to my closet to grab a long sleeve shirt to cover up my scars.
I heard some screaming from down stairs and put my ear to the door and heard someone scream "OMG!! ITS ONE DIRECTION!!" I had no idea who they where but I did know they were adopting someone.
I started crying because I wasn't allowed to at least be seen by them.

Zayns  POV

As we walked into the all girls orphanage all the girls were lined up. They looked at us and one screamed
"OMG!! ITS ONE DIRECTION!!"
Then all of the girls started screaming.
It was annoying. Don't get me wrong I love our fans but I wanted a girl who didn't know us because I didn't want her fan girling all the time.  A lady came in and said
"Now now girls. Don't wanna scare away our guests" she said while smiling at us.
The girls started to calm down.

Niall's POV

We all went around the line of girls talking to them individually.
There was one named Elizabeth that I sort of liked but there was something about her that made her seem fake. I don't know why I kept thinking that.
After a while all the lads and I huddled up.
"So what do you lads think?" Liam asked. "They all seem to be fans"
"Yeah. It's not a bad thing. It's just it'll be hard if she's fan girling all the time" Zayn chirped in.
We stood there quiet for a while and then heard crying from up stairs.
"Do you lads hear that?" Harry asked.
"Yeah someone's crying" Louis said getting sad.
"We'll lets go check it out!!" I said yelling in a whisper.
And with that we snuck up stairs. We looked for the room the crying was coming from. At the end of the hall we finally found the room.
We stood there not knowing what to do but eventually Liam opened the door slowly. Once we were in we saw this little girl that looked 8 or 9. She was crying.
We stood at the door and saw her looking down at the floor not noticing us. She was so cute.

Harry's POV

She just sat there crying her heart out. Her little body shook as she continued to cry.
"Are you alright love?" I asked trying to sound less scary.
Her head shot up. Her brownish greenish eyes looked right at us. They were beautiful. She had brown hair with blonde high lights. She was very beautiful but she looked scared.
We came closer but she backed away so we stood in are place with her on the other side of the room.
"We're not going to hurt you" I said then realized that I whispered.
"Are you alright?" Niall asked.
She nodded and wiped away the tears.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Nicole" she answered in a sweet angel voice.
"How old are you?" Louis asked.
"11" she answered. Wow. She looked like a 9 year old.
"Are you up for adoption?" Liam asked.
She nodded. "Then why weren't you down in line?" Zayn asked.
"Ms. Green wouldn't let me come down" she said with tears in her eyes. She put her face into her hands and started to full on cry sitting on her bed.
"Aww. It's alright" I said sitting next to her.
I rubbed her wrist and she stood up with a scared face rubbing where I touched her.

Nicole's POV

I sat down crying when I told then why I wasn't down stairs and in line.
Then one of then came over to me and rubbed my arm saying it was ok but he touched me where I cut myself earlier. It hurt because they were recent.
"Are you alright?" The one with a buzz cut came over and put his hand on my shoulder. I flinched and backed away but then ran into another one, flinched again and backed up into another one.
Scared again I ran to a corner. I sat down crying and cut my arm while I tried to slide down and cry. It started bleeding again but I didn't care.
At that point, I didn't care about anything and gave up.
I felt someone pick me up but I didn't care. They took me to the bathroom kneeled down to be at my level and pulled up my sleeve and gasped when he saw my arm. Then they pulled up my other sleeve.
"Did you do this to your self?" He asked. I looked up and saw the one with blonde hair.
"What's wrong Niall?" The others asked and stopped when they saw me. I nodded. "Why?" He asked again.
"Because I hate myself!! I hate my life!! Nobody loves me!! And nobody ever will!!" I screamed and started to cry again. "Who told you that?" The one with curly hair said and kneeled down as well. The others did the same.
"My father" I said rubbing my eyes.

Louis' POV

I can't believe someone would say that to her. She seemed so sweet.
Niall started cleaning up the blood and wrapped a bandage around her arms.
She just stood there while staring at her arms while Niall was wrapping the bandage still crying.
I stood up and so did Liam, Zayn and Harry. Niall still kneeling down and pulled her into a hug. She flinched.
But then she hugged him back and put her face into his neck.
I guess she trusted Niall.
All I wanted to do was help some little girl have a better life and now this is my chance. I looked at the other lads.
"Should we?" I asked.
I got a nods and a yes from Liam Zayn and Harry. I then looked at Niall.
"What do you think?" I asked Niall.
"Absolutely" he said not taking his eyes of Nicole.
"Let's do this" I said. And with that all of us walked out.
One Direction was going to help Nicole have a better life.
