Adopted By One Direction

Harry's POV

Piling in the tour bus, the boys and I plopped down on the two sofas and 6 beds (including Alexia's) in the tour bus. Alexia seemed in awe as she sat gingerly on the edge of a bed. She ran her fingers over the soft comforter. I sat down on the bed across from her," Are you alright?" I asked, concerned. This might be too much for her to take in.

She smiled at me," I am constantly in awe of you boys..." She said softly, her eyes wide. I smiled back at her as Niall bounced into the room," So, Dinner is at some place called BLT Burger? Our first stop is Las Vegas, by the way."

Alexia smiled," Sounds good, Ni."

I turned back to her as Niall left," You should get some sleep. Its gonna be a long drive." She nodded as pulled back the covers, snuggling in them.

**TIME SKIP BROUGHT TO YOU BY NIALL HORAN'S LAUGH**

Alexia's POV

When I woke up, I found clothes that had been placed on the edge of the bed, so I stripped from my pajamas and slipped the clothes on. They had a familiar smell to them. Louis  I thought, smiling.

It was a purple tank top with fishnet straps, white washed jean shorts and galaxy Vans. I jumped into everything, then walked out to the "main room" of the tour bus. Niall, Harry and Zayn were nowhere in sight, but Liam and Louis were lounging on the couch and I noticed for the first time that the bus had stopped,"If you have to use a bathroom, you should go now. That's where the guys are." Liam said.

I nodded and sat down on the couch next to Liam," Where are we?" I asked Louis, who was sitting across from Liam and I. He peeked out the window and found nothing," I'm not sure." He said shrugging.

I nodded, still slightly drowsy from my nap as the boys piled in with McDonald's in their hands, something for everybody. Zayn handed Louis a bag and Louis raised an eyebrow at him. Zayn shrugged," Hazza takes a long time in the bathroom so Ni and I when to go pick up food.

We all laughed.

We ate in silence for a while, then stopped about 4 hours later, when we arrived in Vegas. All around us were flashing signs, even though it was the middle of the day. We passed the Bellagio Hotel and Casino, Paris Las Vegas, complete with miniature Eiffel Tower, and the Venetian Hotel and Casino. These people were crazy about gambling. I thought to myself.

We drove for a while longer until we got to the hotel. Hundreds, if not thousands, of girls were gathered in the front with neon posters and flashing cameras. The boys walked off and everyone screamed. When I walked off the bus, it was almost silent. I heard whispers of whore and slut travel through the crowd and I knew immediately that they didn't like me. I wasn't surprised. They would all kill to be in my position.

I walked past the nearly silent crowd with Niall and Zayn on either side and tried not to cry. I wasn't sad that they hated me; I mean I was, but not at the moment. I was about to cry because I could feel all the eyes in the general vicinity on me.

We finally made it into the lobby and up to our rooms. We gathered in one of the rooms and met with Louis, "There's two beds a room, so choose who you're rooming with and stick with it." Louis said. the boys began loudly calling who got which rooms. Niall, who was standing next to me nudged me. I looked up at him,"You're with me." He said in a rich Irish accent. I smiled, "Okay." I said, just above the noise. We gathered our things quietly and made our way to a room down the hall.

I set my stuff on the bed closest to the window and sat on the window seat, my knees to my chest. I stared at the bright city as dusk settled in.

Not two hours later, we were standing backstage at an amazing venue. I was now wearing a red leather skirt and a blue and white striped shirt with a red anchor on the shoulder. Then, I had slipped on some navy blue flats with small, white ribbons on the toes. The boys adjusted their microphones that latched over their ears and sat next to their mouths.

Lou walked over and knelt next to me, "I know that this is a lot for you. I'm sorry, Alexia." He kissed my forehead. I smiled, "It's okay, Louis. I'll just hang out back here. I'll see you when you're done?"

Louis smiled, "We'll go out for dinner after the concert." He promised.

"Okay, Lou. I love you." I said softly, as I was afraid of his response.

He smiled and hugged me, then stood up. I watched the boys file on to the stage as everyone in the audience screamed.

I turned back around and sat down on a chair near the wall.

Now what?
