*** Lexi's POV ***

I was led on my bed, everyone at the orphanage get home-schooled here. However i still have friends outside of the orphanage so i go out as much as i can with them. I plugged my headphones in and got off my bed, i lifted my mattress up and picked up my cigarettes and lighter, i pick them up and walk over to my window, opening it about 3cm. I took a cigarette from the pack and placed it between my lips, quickly jumping up as i forgot to lock my bedroom door, i would be in so much trouble if i got caught smoking. I sat on the window seal, placing the cigarette back between my lips, lighting it with my pink lighter, i looked through the clear plastic to see i haven't got that much gas left in there, i sighed and picked my phone up texting Luke, he was one of my best guy friends.

To: Luke

Hey Lukey! Can we meet up tomorrow, i need a new lighter. xo

From: Lexi

I locked my phone and put it back down, taking drags from my cigarette, flicking the ash outside my window every now and then. I was about half way through when there was knocking on my door.

"Shit" I muttered to myself.

"Lexi! It's Sarah, open up, i have some news to tell you." Sarah said through the door.

"Err, ok, two secs Sarah!" I replied, stubbing my cigarette out and shoving it in the packet along with my lighter, i chucked the packet in my bedside draw, picking up my Charlie body spray and spraying my room.

"Lex, you ok in there?" Sarah said, concern filling her voice.

"Oh yeah, um, i was, er getting dressed!" I told her, opening the door and fixing my jumper.

"Oh that's fine, i was getting worried." Sarah said, laughing slightly.

"Soo, whats the news?" I asked, sitting on the edge of my bed, swinging my legs back and forth.

"Oh yes, your um, getting adopted." Sarah told me, biting her nails nervously.

"Really, thats great! When?" I asked hugging her.

"They'll be here in about 10 minutes, they want to meet you first!" She explained, hugging me back. I was actually excited to get out of this hell hole.

"Ok dokiee, shall i go downstairs?" I asked her.

"No, i'll bring them here." Sarah told me, leaving my room, shutting my door. I debated whether i should finish my cigarette, but i decided it was too risky, i just sat on my bed waiting for my new 'parents' to come and get me.

"Lexi, they're here!" Sarah told me, opening my door. And stood behind her was two men.

"Err hi" I waved awkwardly, are they gay or something.

"Hi, i'm Simon and this is Paul." Simon told me, as they both held out their hands for me to shake, which i did, gotta act innocent in front of Sarah i thought.

"So, are y'all adopting me?" I asked raising an eye-brow.

"Nope" Paul replied.

"Huh?" I said with a puzzled expression on my face.

"My clients are!" Simon told me, well that makes sense, i guess.

"Ok Lexi, pack your stuff and meet me Simon and Paul downstairs at reception!" Sarah told me and i nodded my head. I took my suitcase from the top of my wardrobe and packed all my clothes, shoes, make up and toiletries in there. I put all my picture frames on top of the clothes. I stood on my bed, un-blue-tacking all the pictures and placing them into a folder wallet, i also put them in my suitcase zipping it up. I walked over to my bed again, lifting up my mattress, picking up my 3 cigarette boxes and placing them in the side compartment of my suitcase. When i was done i picked up my phone and text Luke...

To: Luke

Hey, dont worry about tomorrow, im getting adopted, love you, hope i'll see ya soon! xoxo

I laughed at the text and shoved my phone into the back pocket of my skinny jeans, putting my mint blue VAN's on. I picked up my suitcase and wheeled it out of my room and downstairs to reception.

"Hey guys, im all ready!" I told them, smiling innocently.

"Ok, oh and Sarah, here's the paper work from Louis." Paul said, handing over a bunch of paper to Sarah, she muttered a thanks.

I had been in the car for 4 hours, wow, how far is this place. I'm gonna miss Cornwall, it was such a beautiful place. I had text all my friends telling them i had been adopted and stuff.

"Lexi, we're here!" Paul told me. I looked out the window and i swear my jaw hit the ground. This place was HUGE! The door opened and Simon helped me out as Paul grabbed my suitcase. I followed them up the path to the large door. Simon opened it and i was greeted with shouting. Oh God, theres either more than one kid here or a very angry couple. Then five hot boys came tumbling down the stairs. Simon cleared his throat and all the boys looked up with guilty faces.

"Oh hey Simon and Paul!" They all said in unison as they stood up making me laugh.

"Boys, this is the girl we told you about, her name is Lexi, we have changed her name to Tomlinson, as Louis is the oldest." Simon told them, sorry what, you changed my last name, wow ok then.

"So her full name is, Lexi May Monroe Tomlinson" Paul told them, well it made me feel better that i kinda still had my last name.

"Hi love, im Harry!" A boy with curly hair greeted me.

"Im Zayn!" A boy with a quiff said, waving his hand slightly.

"Im Louis! The one you share you last name with now!" He told me with a wink making me giggle.

"Im Liam!" Another boy with a almost shaved head said, holding his hand out for me to shake, which i did.

"And im Niall!" I cute Blond boy with an Irish accent told me and i smiled.

"Er well, as you know, im Lexi!" I told them.

"Ok, we're gonna go, boys take care of Lexi, she is basically your little sister now." Simon said sternly as he and Paul left the house, we all muttered goodbyes.

I had gotten to know the boys now, considering i've only been alone with them for two hours, i think we're going to get along just fine.

We were now sat on the sofa watching a film, an interior designer had just left about half an hour ago, they boys let me design my room, i was aloud whatever i wanted, my room was on the top floor of the house, there was a door that led out to the roof, which had a glass fence around so you wouldn't full off. But my room would take about two or three weeks to build so i was gonna me sleeping in the snuggle room, it sounds stupid but its not, its this room, where the whole room is one giant sofa, with bean bags, pillows duvets and a 50" inch TV, its awesome...
