Adopted by 1D

Chapter Four

--------------------ZAYN------------------

Charlie nodded put in his headphones and leaned his head against the window.

It was quiet for a bit after that, until Niall finally spoke out.

"Guys he seems like a good kid. I think he'll fit in well with our family and friends."

"And fans." added Liam.

"Guys he doesn't seem all that happy. I mean he's a fifteen year old boy who wears nothing but black and refuses to speak to us for more than five minutes."

I haven't told the boys that when he opened the door to tell us to "shut the fuck up" I noticed the scars on his wrist.

Old and new, big and small, all up until his elbows.

The boys haven't caught on but I'm already attached to him.

IM HIS FATHER FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

I just want him to be happy.

"are you okay?"

"Yeah yeah I'm fine thanks - "
Then I realized I had no idea who I was talking to.

I turned around.

"Thanks Charlie." I smiled as we pulled up at the house.

-----------------CHARLIE---------------

I woke up and to talking.

Again.

I opened my eyes to see everyone whispering in the back, and one guy, Zayn I think just starring straight ahead with a frown on his face.

"Are you okay?" I asked getting his attention.

"Yeah yeah I'm fine thanks" he mumbled and turned around.

" thanks Charlie" he finished with a smile.

We pull up and the driver says were here. everyone starts getting out of the car and I follow.

"Woah." I looked at the huge mansion in awe for a second before grabbing my duffel bag and following the boys.

"So Charlie, I'll show you to your room and then you can go to bed if you want." said Harry.

I just nodded and followed him up the stairs and down to the right end of the hallway. my room was the very last one next to me was Zayn and Louis.

Their name tags were on the door.

"Heres your room I guess I'll see you later if you want to come down for dinner." he said leaving me alone in this amazing room.

The 3 walls were painted to look like a stormy sky and one wall was completely windows, looking over the lake in the backyard.

It was stunning, like something out of a dream. I took off my hoodie and went to my journal.

Ok so these 5 guys adopted me and I now live in a really big house but I need to get out of here. they're all nice but I wasn't meant to be adopted, I'm a depressed freak but if I run away they'll look for me and I don't want that.

I have to make them not want me.
Maybe I should get the piercings I wanted. Walk around in short sleeves so they can see my cuts? maybe they'll think I'm too messed up. And ship me back.

I don't deserve this.

I don't deserve them.

I closed my journal. Put it on a desk grabbed my penny board that I managed to buy last year from the money out of my savings. And headed out of my room.

This is it. I can do this. show them why they should hate you.

I headed down the stairs and into the living room, where the boys were talking.

"Hey guys." I said with a smirk and waved.

"Charlie what are those?" harry asks pointing at my arm.
