Starting from the beginning

chapter 7

MY heart was racing, not a good thing for me. I have this weird thing with my heart where it already beats fast. I'm supposed to be taking pills but when I was put in the orphanage I ran out and Kathryn never let me go get a New bottle.

I turned my focus from my heart problems to the door and the footsteps. 

What if it is him. For real this time. I'm going to be killed this time and not wake up. This is NOT I repeat NOT a dream. 

I couldn't keep my tears from falling I was now petrified.

I closed my eyes for 2 seconds at the most. Not a good thing either all I could see was what happened when I was little and I almost died. I opened my eyes and saw the door creak open. no no no no no.

I slid more under my duvet to where only my eyes were not covered. Tears stained my cheeks while fresh ones still were coming.

The door closed and I heard the footsteps get closer and closer and closer. I tried to see the man In front of me but I couldn't. The tears blurred my vision to much. but I did make out Eight people surrounding me.

I felt the bed dip down on my left and right. I looked over to see Perrie and Zayn on each side of the bed.

"sh.. Skyler it's ok." Perrie said in a calm hushed tone. 

She engulfed me into her arms and rubbed her hand in circles on my back. 

Is this what it felt like to have a mom.

Zayn took me from Perrie and and stood up. He placed me on waist and hugged me. I started crying even more. I miss my old family. I miss my mom and dad holding me like this.

"Skyler, are you ok?" Niall asked.

"I I I th think s so." I couldn't stop from studdering. I was still sobbing a little but I was still silently crying.

"Ok good." Someone said. I think or was Louis. I couldn't tell.

"Do you want to talk about it? " Zayn had asked sweetly.

"No can we do it in the morning?" I didn't want to explain my whole life story at two in the morning.

"But it is morning." I was about to Say something back but I heard a slap.

"OW! What was that for!" I think it was Harry who was slapped and said that. 

"For being...I don't know but you deserve more then likely." I couldn't help but chuckle at what just happened between Harry and Liam.

"Her laugh is so cute Perrie." I think that was Eleanor.

"I know right it fits her perfectly. " I laughed even more I loved Perrie. She is the only other person who I am now willing to call mom, other then my real mom. 

Zayn set me back in my bed and tucked me in. 

"Night love, come get us if you need anything ok." He kissed my forhead while I nodded. The other boys did the same as so did Eleanour and Perrie.  

After they left I fell asleep thinking that I now have a family.
