One Direction is Adopting Me?

chapter fourteen

Brooks P.O.V.

we all sat down. me and Ari on the couch and the boys on the floor.

"hmm... Luke you go first!" Ari said. he nodded and started thinking.

"Brook. truth or dare?" he asked wiggling his eyebrows. I laughed.

"dare. I'm not a wimp," I said.

"well, duh! you took Natalie Collins out! she's a black belt in karate. anyway, I dare you to... drink a glass of pickle juice with ranch mixed in," he said. oh, Gross! well I'm not a wimp.

"okay," I got up and walked into the kitchen. I opened the fridge and took out the pickle juice and ranch and a small cup.

"Nope. big cup," Luke said.

"oh, fuck you!" I yelled. I grabbed a big glass and shoved the cup into Luke's hand. he held it out and I poured in the pickle juice then the ranch. I mixed it up with a fork, I'm not to find of plastic spoons, and Luke gave me the cup. I put it to my lips to drink but Luke stoped me.

"I have to get it on video!" he said and pulled his phone out. Austin and Ari came in to watch. I was afraid of getting Crap on the carpet so we did it I the kitchen. one he was recording I put the cup to my lips, held my breath, and drank.

the taste was sickening. the tart liquid went down my throat and I'd burned. I gagged, almost throwing up. I spit the liquid into the sink. I threw my cup down on the counter.

"Fuck you!" I said to Luke and walked into the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and rinsed my mouth.

I wandered back in to the front room and saw Ari kissing Luke. I looked away, embarrassed. I had never had my first real kiss. yeah Austin kissed me on the cheek but not in the lips.

they pulled apart.

"Ari, truth or dare?" I said. she frowned.

"truth?" she said.

"ar you a virgin?" I asked. she shook her head.

"who was it?" I asked, hoping it was Luke.

"only one question! Austin truth or dare?" she asked, her and Luke blushing like tomatoes.

"dare. who do you think your talking to?" he asked and i giggled.

"I have a question first. have you and Brook actually kissed. you know on the lips?" I started blushing.

"I'll take that as a no. Austin, I dare you to kiss Brook. on the lips." oh shit! he shrugs and leans over. I close my eyes and wait for his lips to touch mine. I feel soft, warm, welcoming, lips on mine. the feel was like a zoo was let loose in my stomach. when we parted, Ari giggled.

we stayed up the there for 5 days and had fun. as we walked down the road to Luke's house, I heard yelling and small cries. then I heard a laugh. the cries sound like a baby.

"guys I hear something," I whispered and put my finger to my lips, to signal then to be quiet. they nodded.

I walked to the Bush that separates the neighborhood. I moved them slightly. I saw a tall woman with long blond hair pulled into a knot on top of her head. she was wearing a simple jumper and jeans. on the ground was a baby. no older than 8 months. I grasped. the woman was hitting and kicking the baby. I jumped the bushes and pushed her away into the puddle on the ground. I saw the infant was naked and crying. there was a ripped blanket under it. it was a girl. I looked at the woman, who was being held down by Austin. Ari was on the phone with the police and Luke just looked at the baby with pitty. I wrapped the baby in the blanket and held it in my arms. the woman started fake crying.

"give me my baby! give me my Jacob!" she yelled.

"for one, that is a boy name. and 2 you don't want our. we have a video of you beating the baby," I said. who names their baby girl Jacob? I'm going to rename it. Clarity is a pretty name. Clarity Marie. we heard the sirens and the cops came and took the woman. the paramedics checked Clarity. she only had bruises. she would be fine.

"may we take you and..." a paramedic lady pointed to Clarity.

"Clarity," I said.

"yes. would you like us to take you home?" she asked.

"sure," I said. she lead us to a car and me and Clarity got in the front. Ari, Luke, and Austin were squished in the back. I pulled out my phone and snapped a picture of the asleep Clarity in my arms. I sent it to Niall.

'i'm coming home with company. could you ask Lou Teastale for some baby clothes?'

it wasn't long until he replied with the okay. I smiled as we pulled up to the house. Niall was waiting for us at the door.

"Brook! who is this?" he asked.

"well. we were walking to Luke's and we heard noises. we found a lady yelling at her. she named the baby Jacob," I said.

"what? who the hell names their little girl Jacob? did you name her something else?" he asked.

"yeah. Clarity Marie. can we keep her?" I asked.

"of course! here are the baby clothes. now come in. thank you ma'am," he said.

"of course. I will be back soon with the papers," she said and drove off.

we walked into the house, Clarity still asleep in my arms. I saw Lou with Lux. I smiled at her but her eyes were somewhere else. on Austin.

"mom..."
