Mute. L-H

Family.

It's been about two months since we left. Everything's been going fine. I talk a little more now, slow and stutters but it's good.

Today the boys were around helping me out. I was putting up a Christmas tree for once. I haven't in years so this was weird. But we were all smiling and putting decorations on the tree.

The boys are also an official band now, well to them they are. Still no record company, just stupid videos on YouTube. But to them it meant everything.

Calum wasn't fond of guitar so he plays bass, Ashton on drums, Michael on guitar and Luke lead. They can all sing, just they feel like Luke is better which is not the case.

"Finished" I smiled stepping back from the tree.

"Ready for the lights?" Michael asked leaning down by the tree I nodded and with a flick of a switch the tree lit up the room.

I smiled at the tree as Luke hugged me from behind.

"Wow" Ashton gaped at it with a huge smile on his face.

"It's so pretty" Calum smiled. Michael walking over and hugging his boyfriend whispering something I couldn't hear into his ear making him blush.

"Two days until Christmas" Luke said kissing my cheek.

"Can't wait till you see what I got you!" Ashton smiled at all of us. We were all spending Christmas together at my house. it seemed right seen as none of them really wanted to be with their family. of corse wed separate boxing day to see families.

*Christmas morning*

I jumped onto luke waking him up from his sleep. I know it was early but I couldent wait, this is the first Christmas I would enjoy in a long time.

"morning" luke mumbled opening his eyes. I smiled at him. he kissed my cheek and got up with me. I pulled him to the front room where the boys had slept to wake them up as well.

I excitedly ran over to them and jumped on them waking them up. Even though they didn't appreciate it, but I didn't care I just wanted everyone to be awake.

Everyone was finally awake and I sat excitedly on the floor waiting for them to properly wake up.

"What are we doing first?" Calum asked.

I pointed to the small pile of presents under the tree.

Michael smiled and wet first picking up the presents he brought and handed them to us.

"You guys first" he smiled mostly looking at Calum in adoration.

I untapped the small box and looked inside. It was a little neckless with a pizza on the end.

"We've all got matching?" Calum looked at Michael.

"It's like a friendship thing for when we're not together" Michael smiled. He reached down his own top and showed that he had one of his own.

We opened all the present I ended up with the neckless off Michael a picture of all of us from Ashton. A cute teddy from Calum. And luke said that he was going to give me mine later.

Once all the presents were handed out we. We're just talking, having a laugh. Until I realised we hadn't even started dinner yet.

I left the boys alone and walked off into the kitchen. I put the oven on and put in the turkey.

Once I started everything I felt a pair of arms snake around my waist.

"What cha doing?" Luke asked me kissing my cheek. I nodded towards the oven so he'd get the hint I was starting dinner.

"Do you wanna come watch movies?" Luke asked again. I nodded and walked with him back to the others.

We watched some movies and chatted for a few hours just chiling, the movies we watched were elf, the nightmare before Christmas, home alone and anchorman.

"What's that smell?" Ashton frowned scrunching up his nose.

I jumped up and ran to the kitchen. I pulled open the oven for the room to fill up with smoke.

"What happened?" Luke walked in looking at me as I pulled out the burnt turkey. I looked at him with a sorry expression.

Then to make things better the smoke alarm went off loudly making the others walk through. I rolled my eyes and then went to turn of the alarm.

I turned it off and walked back through to the kitchen where the others were. They turned to me together.

"Sorry" I mumbled to them feeling guilty for ruining dinner.

"It's fine" Luke re assured me he walked over and hugged me.

"How bout we order pizza?" Michael said smiling.

"Is there even pizza places open?" Ashton asked.

"Corse, I always used to have pizza on Christmas" Michael said. I felt bad for him. He sounded like he didn't really have a close family.

"Ok then let's do that" Luke said. We all walked back through to the front room.

"I want Hawaiian" Calum said as we sat down.

"Pepperoni" Michael said.

"Just cheese for me" Ashton smiled.

Me and Luke got pepperoni. The rest of Christmas we just sat there and are pizza watching movies and honestly it was the best Christmas I've had in a long time.

After years of feeling alone o finally felt I found my own family, it may not be a mom and dad, just my boyfriend and three big brothers.

All of us were mentally ill but maybe that's what brought us closer, we all sorta understood eachother.

It may not be a normal family but to me it was, I finally fir in somewhere, I finally felt comfortable and welcome. I just hope I can keep this one and it won't get ripped away from me.
