Adopted By Harry Styles

Chapter 22

"So how are you, Brooke?" Mikey asked me as he settled in his chair.

"I'm doing great," I say, "a little nervous." My hands are shaking but only slightly. My throat feels dry and my head feels light. I'll be damn lucky if I don't puke!

"I see you have an accent coming along."

"Yah, it's coming along." I touch my throat once more. I don't know why I do, maybe to show my love for it? Some times I don't even understand myself!

Suddenly I no longer feel the shaking of my hands or the dryness of my throat. Not even the feeling of barfing. Everything seems the have disappeared. Good. That means I'm becoming comfortable.

"I have a few question for you that many of Directioners what to know about you."

"Ask away, man." I say confidently.

Mikey went inside his pocket and took out what looks like eight cards, probably full of questions.

"Just to give you a warning, Brooke," he says, "these questions might be personal."

"Thanks for the warning." Because of my accent, it sounded like I said wöning. I guess I should be getting used to it.

"What is it like being Harry's daughter?" Mikey asked me.

"It's wonderful!" I say. "I never thought anyone would ever love me again."

"What do you mean by that, Brooke?" I look down at the floor and smile. "When my family died, I had didn't have any family left. The orphanage I lived in didn't help at all, it was only worse. I was bullied, beaten, and got called whore and slut and all of that. Harry's the only person that ever loved me. I can't thank him enough for that. Cause that's all I've ever wanted."

"That sounds nice." Mikey says.

"Yah," I say, "it is." I wipe a tear that forms in my eye. It really is emotional for me. I take a deep breath and giggle a little bit as I exhale.

Next question should be coming soon.

"Fans want know if you have a boyfriend." Mikey said, flipping a card over.

"What?" I say loudly as I also giggle.
Because of my accent, it sounded like I said whot. I should be getting used to that.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" Mikey repeats himself with the biggest smile. Despite me looking at the ground nearly laughing to death, I can just see him trying to hold back laughter.

"You weren't joking...when you said these were personal!" I managed to say in between laughter. I look straight into the camera-still laughing-and say "Who ever wanted to ask me that, you made me laugh. Not in a bad way I sware!" I sound like Harry....damn. "But no I do not have a boyfriend just to clear that up." I point at the camera.

I could see that Mikey was still holding back laughter. I would too if I was him. Just being honest.

"So the next question," said Mikey. "Are you allergic to anything?"

"Hmmm..." I have to hesitate on that one. Mostly because I just started eating (I can only hope that he doesn't talk about my cuts or even starving myself) just a week or two ago. "Nothing comes to mind...so no. I don't think I'm allergic to anything."

Mikey flips to another card. There are a lot more to go. Great. "The next question is...if you could be any animal in the world, what would it be and why?"

"Hum...I think I would be..." I say. "I think I would...probably be a dolphin."

"Really." Mikey said. "Why a dolphin."
