One Direction is Adopting Me?

chapter eight

Austin's P.O.V

Oh my God! she wasn't supposed to hear that! Damn it! I never wanted to hurt her. I wanted to tell Natalie I was done with her games. I didn't want to do it through the phone. I was going to tell the the boys I didn't want to be paid.

I ran and banged on her door, tears streaming down my face. I didn't want to lose her. it was something about her that gave my butterflies in my stomach. the way her eyes shined in the sun. her beautiful violet eyes. the softnes of her hair. I wanted to cry harder at the thought that I might have blown my chance.

I knew what I had to do to gain her trust again. tell her the truth.

"Brook! please don't hate me! the boys will send me back-" I started to say then she opened the door.

"send you back where?" she asked, tears running down her face. my heart broke to a million pieces.

"they are paying you to be my friend. you are only going to take the money and fake a fight then go buy Natalie some diamond earrings. why would I care?" she said. my heart was ripped.

"they will send me to my abusive father," I said, knowing I shouldn't have. I will regret it later.

she pulled my hand into her room.

"sit,"she said and pointed to the bed. she sat next to me and looked at me.

"when I was six, my mom died. I was in the car and my dad, David, thought it was my fault because I survived. I was torn. since my mum died, he gets drunk and hurts me. he will break something and hit me with the pieces that remain. he will break bottles over my head and laugh at the blood. he left me here because he was getting bored of hurting me, so he brought me here. You and Natalie Collins is the only ones who know. she said if I wasn't her boyfriend and was nice she would leak it out to the whole school. I knew I would get hurt if she did so I went along with it. I'm so sorry. for everything." I was sobbing. so was she.

she sat on my lap and hugged me. I was shocked at first, but put my hands around her waist. she buried her face onto my shoulder. she hugged me tight.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't know. before the guys adopted me, I was adopted by men who would beat me. throw me on a wooden frame or table, and rape me on all the pieces. after a while they would bring me back and find someone else who they would love. all of them did. the men always told me how worthless I was and how nobody would ever love me. it made me feel like shit to hear Natalie say that. I wanted so much to punch her in the face but I didn't because she would use it against me," she sobbed. wow. if I would have known she was treated that badly I would have never done that. I would let Natalie tell everyone.

I saw Brooke pull out her phone.

"what are you doing?" I asked.

"calling Niall. I'm mad at them but I'm going to ask them if you can stay here. then I'm going to call Child Protective Services and report your father," she said. I nodded. he would be taken to jail and I would never see him again.

"hi Niall. um... I was wondering if Austin could stay with us permanently? I'll tell you why later. is that okay? yeah. okay bye." she said and hung up.

"Niall said it was okay. he wants you to tell him what's up than they will discuss who gets to adopt you," she said dialing CPS.

"yes. um... Austin Miller. David Miller. um... number twenty one Towers Avenue in London. yes. child abuse. okay thank you," she said and hung up.

"well?" I said.

"they are coming to get him. I saw his car pull in and he walked in to the house. he hasn't come out yet," she said looking out the window.

"are we good now?" I asked hopefully.

"no. when do you get paid?" she asked. oh. I forgot about that.

"never. I'm going to be your friend for free! imma call Natalie and tell her I don't care if she tells people," I said. she giggled and I pulled my phone out. I called her and told her I didn't care if she told. I liked Brooke and nothing she does will change that. she didn't care.

BROOKES P.O.V

I sighed and sat on the couch. Niall and the boys were going to walk through the door anytime now and I was not going to talk to them.

I heard the door and saw the boys walk in. Austin was tired and went to sleep. I ignored the boys.

"hi Brookie. how was your day?" Liam asked. I turned the telly up louder, signaling I was mad. when I get mad I go mute. they don't know that though. I'm not mad though. I'm furious!

"Brook?" Harry said waving a hand in front. I ignored it. I felt the remote be taken out of my hand. the telly turned off. Liam turned it off. I got up off of the couch and walked upstairs without a last glance at the boys.

I turned the telly in my room on low careful not to wake Austin. I felt a tear slip. the boys didn't believe I could make a friend. I heard the door open and Niall walked in. he cradled me in his arms.

"what's wrong, Princess?" he asked.

"why would you pay Austin to be my friend?" I asked between sobs.

"what do you mean? I wouldn't pay him to be your friend," he said. for some reason, I believed him. he picked me up and took me downstairs with the boys sitting on the couch.

"what's wrong?" I heard Harry ask.

"which one of you paid Austin to be her friend?" Niall said. I only heard silence.

"put me down," I whispered in Niall's ear.

he put me down and I looked at the boys and they all looked shocked. all except one. he was looking at the ground. another tear slipped from my eye.

"why, Harry?" I whispered.

"I knew you were new and quiet. I asked him to be your friend and he agreed to it if I gave him 500 pound. I'm sorry Brooke," a tear slipped out of his eye. I walked over to him and hugged him.

"it's okay Harry," I said.

"FORGET THE MONEY! I WILL BE HER BOYFRIEND FOR FREE!" I heard Austin yell. I heard him walk down the stairs and saw him round the corner.

"Boyfriend? since when?" Niall asked with a smile.

"yesterday," I said. Austin wrapped his arms around my waist. the boys "awww"ed and I blushed.

"how about I take you surfing tomorrow, yeah?" Niall asked. I nodded smiling.

"I think it's time you love birds went to bed. I have someone I want you to meet in the morning Brooke," Niall said, shooing us upstairs.

Ohhh! didn't see that coming did you? hehe jk. comment and vote.
