Makenzie's POV

I could hear a strange beeping. It was really pissing me off to tell you the truth. I couldn't open my eyes for some reason. But I could feel and hear everything.
I suddenly hear voices. They all sounded familiar.

"Are you sure you want to adopt that filthy thing even after all of this?" A lady says.

Yup. That would be Cynthia Rose. The lady who runs the whole adoption center. But who was she talking to?

"First of all, how dare you call her names like filthy? And yes I am 100 percent positive. I don't want her to deal with snobby disrespectful bitches like you." A man says.

Damnn this guy has guts. I hear Cynthia scoff and then a door open and slam shut. I hear a group of guys talk about how bitchy Cynthia which makes inside me laugh.
I guess my inside laugh started something because the boys started to flip out and doctors started to rush in.

"Is she waking up?" I hear someone ask.

"Yes. She should be awake momentarily." Someone else chirps in.

I try to move my hand but nothing happens. I really didn't like the fact that people were just sitting there waiting for me to wake up and I couldn't do anything about it.

"Try to get up and you get hurt." Bethany says.

I sigh and stop trying. I need to find a way to get up. I can't stay like this forever.
Suddenly I hear voices talking again. They sound so familiar but I can't remember the names.

"Makenzie..please wake up. We have a new home for you and everything." A voice says.

"Yea we got your room all set up and everything!" Another voice said.

This was bull. Who would want to adopt me?

"Please. Please pretty please wake up.. We want to meet our new daughter." someone whispers.

I felt the need to wake up now. I ignored Bethany's harsh comments and used all my energy to at least squirm a little bit. I wasn't going to let this girl stop me from meeting my new family.
Someone started to hold my hand and I forced my body to tighten the grip.

"Oh my gosh..Shes waking up..Guys go get the doctors she's waking up! She just squeezed my hand!" Someone said happily.

I used all my energy to open my eyes. It felt like I was lifting weights off of my eyes.
Eventually I started to see the light. I blinked a few times and looked at my sorroundings. I saw 4 boys and a few doctors. I scrunched my nose when I could smell the stale hospital air and realized where I was.
I looked at each boy. I remembered them from the adoption center. They couldn't have been the guys pleading for me to wake up right?
Luke was the first to run up to me and hug me.

"We were so worried about you Makenzie." Luke whispered.

Maybe I was wrong.. Maybe they are my new family.

Luke's POV

I was still hugging Makenzie. I didn't want to let her go.
We had filled out the paperwork at the adoption center so she was officially our daughter. We gave her my last name because I was the one who came up with the idea of adopting a girl.
Her new name was Makenzie Jean Hemmings. But all the boys and I are her father. She's just using my last name.
I let go of her because the doctors wanted to examine her and take tests before she left to come home with us.

"Ugh boys can I speak with you all in the hallway for a moment?" The doctor asks.

We all nod and follow him to the hallway.

"Okay so you all know that Makenzie is schizophrenic correct?" The doctor asked.

"Yea it was in her background papers when we adopted her. We kind of went over all her papers while we waited for her to be released from her coma." Calum replied.

"Oh good so you know about her past life before she was thrown into this adoption center. I'm afraid to say that this is definitely not the first time I have seen her here. Whether it was her hurting herself or her "friend" hurting her or her parents. She is a sweet girl. You boys will like her." The doctor said.

We all nodded. I knew she had a hard life before being in the adoption center but it wasn't very descripive on how it was hard. I guess that's for her to tell us when she trusts us.

"But boys, I am telling you this right now. Don't ever call her mental or crazy or anything of the sort. It really does get to her. Also, make sure she takes her pills. If she doesn't than her schizophrenia will just get worse. We can't have that or she will have to..well she will have to stay in a hospital for a long long time." The doctor said sadly.

We all nodded again. I didn't want to lose her again.
We all walked back to the room and saw her sitting up. She looked a little bit healthier then before which must be a good sign. I sat next to her and smiled down to her. She had such beautiful eyes.
Soon a doctor came in to let us know she was all set to go home. We started to pack up our stuff and Makenzie's stuff.
As we were starting to walk out Makenzie tugged on my shirt and lifted her arms out. Obviously meaning she wanted to be carried.
I picked her up bridal style and started walking out the door and to the car. I layed her down on top of Calum and Michael and hopped into the passanger's seat. Ashton was driving of course. Makenzie had fallen asleep on Mikey and Calum's lap. She was so adorable.

Soon we got home and Calum carried her to her room. We all decided to stay in her room. I took my clothes off and hopped into bed next to her. Calum was in the seat on the other side of her bed, Ashton was asleep on the mini couch and Michael was on the floor. I turned the tv on but turned the volume down so that it wouldn't wake Makenzie up. Soon we all fell asleep to the sound of Makenzie's adorable snores.
