Alice in Wonderland

2

"Alice. Glad you could join us." Nona said pushing me into the room and sat me in between two boys.

Let's see if I could remember their names. Zayn. He has a lot of tattoos. Niall. He's the blond one. Harry. He has curly hair. Louis. Funny one. Liam. Looks like the strongest.

I was sitting between Zayn and Niall. Next to Niall was Harry, then Louis, and finally Liam. I put my hand over my wrist to hide the lines.

Nona cleared her throat, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"What?" I asked pulling myself back into reality.

"Introduce yourself." Nona said sternly.

"Oh. I'm Alice." I said holding my hand out but then realizing that there's five boys and that they may see the lines on my wrist I quickly put it back down. I could feel Nonas eyes on me. All the boys just sat there and looked around. I bit my lip and slouched down in my chair.

"Well now that all the paper work is done... She's all yours." Nona said flashing a fake smile and sweet voice.

"Wait. They already adopted me? Without meeting me?" I asked dumbfounded.

"Oh sweetie! I'm going to miss you so much!!" Nona said getting all teary eyed. She pulled me into a hug. I tensed up. I hated letting people touch me.

"Now go pack. Meet us right back here." Nona said wiping the fake tears. I nodded. I slowly stood up and walked out the office.

As soon as I stepped out and closed the door someone yanked my arm.

"So? What happen?" Tommy asked.

"I'm adopted." I whispered more to myself then him.

"That's great!" He said.

"What of they don't like me? What if I say something wrong? What if I hate them?" I said panicking.

"Alice! They will love you! I'm sure. And your going to love them!" Tommy assured me. "Now go pack!" He said pushing me down the hall.

I walked to my room and slowly walked up to my bed. I pulled the small duffle bag from under the bed. All the girls looked at me. I could feel their eyes on me. I didn't bother to look at them I already knew what kinds of looks they were giving me. And they weren't good ones.

"Your leaving?" Amy whispered to me as she watched me unzip the bag and throw in my 3 pairs of socks. I nodded slowly.

"Who?" She asked. I knew what she meant by that she didn't need to say more.

"One Direction." I whispered back. She sat next to the bag.

"Will you visit?" She asked.

"Yes. And I will call everyday. And when you get a family I will call you. I promise." I told her. I was so close to crying. Amy bit her lip and looked at me. She started crying. I pulled her into a hug and started crying as well.

"You better go." Any said pulling out of the hug. I nodded. I zipped up my bag and slung it over my shoulder. I took Amy's hand and we walked down the hall. As I approached the office I saw Tommy leaning on the wall outside waiting for me. I let go of Amy's hand and ran up to him. I have him a hug. He hesitated for a minute but then hugged me back.

"Maybe I can say I don't want to go. Or maybe they will change their minds. Maybe-" I started crying in his chest. Cause he was about 5 inches taller than me.

"Alice. Stop. Don't be stupid. Your finally getting adopted! Stop crying." He told me cutting me off.

"But what if I don't see you again?" I asked.

"You will.I have 4 more years and then I turn 18 and I'm put of here!" He said. He rested his chin on my head.

"No. I don't want to go. No." I said weeping on him.

"Don't be stupid. Your new family is waiting for you." He said. I wiped my tears and let go. I looked back at Tommy. He raised and show me his wrist. I managed to smile. Written on his wrist was his nickname for me (Alice in wonderland) in light blue sharpie. I put my hand on the knob on the door. I slowly turned it.

I said my goodbyes and went into the limo as the sun set. The boys piled in after me. I moved all the way down and put my bag on the floor and sat there. I was afraid if I touched anything it would break. I looked out the window and tried not to cry as I said goodbye to my old home.

"Do you want a soda?" Harry asked me.

"No." I mumbled.

"So. Tell us something about yourself." Louis said.

"I'm Alice." I mumbled.

"Something we don't know." Liam said.

"Do you sing?" Zayn asked.

"No." I said.

"Hey uh Alice I don't want you to think of us as your parents or dads....... Why don't to think of us as older brothers?" Niall said.

"Good cause in not calling any of you dad." I said not taking my gaze of the window.

The limo filled with silence.

"Your not going to bring me back right? I mean.... Your my family now right?" I asked still looking out the window.

"never in a million years would we give you up. Never ever." Liam sat putting his hand on my knee.

"What happens when those million years are up?" I asked. "Then what?" I said looking at him.

"We will never stop loving you.... You will always be ours." He said.

"Promise?" I asked.

"I promise. And I don't ever break a promise." He said.

The rest of the way was in silence.

"Were here." Liam said. I turned and looked out the window. It was pitch black out. Louis pushed the limo door open and we piled out.

What if they decided they don't want me and are going to leave me here.

"I can't see anything." I whispered.

"Here. Hold my hand." Harry said offering his hand. I took a step back and shook my head. Harry gave up and continued walking. I followed. I could hear Nialls footsteps behind as well as Zayns. After a few moments of walking in darkness I was blinded by 2 bright lights ahead of me.
