MADISON'S POV

I've been inside for a while now, not caring if I'm getting the kitchen wet. I'm just trying to fix this picture. The boys still haven't come inside and it's eerily quiet in here. Almost like it shouldn't be quiet ever. So I decide we'll turn on the radio to a popular station.

"And here's She Looks So Perfect by Five Seconds Of Summer!" I groan and hit my head off of the counter, changing the station to a random one and then A team by Ed comes on and I turn it up excitedly and go back to drying out the picture. As stupid as it sounds, I even put the damn thing in the microwave. I should boil water and out it over steam! Since I have no Idea how to restore a picture. So I do just that and start boiling water.

I hear the back door slide open and I know the boys are back inside now, and they can just follow my trail of water if they want to find me. Stupid stupid girl. I ignore them and put the picture over the steam for a minute and decide its not working and dump the water, turning the stove off and giving up. Maybe this happened for a reason. Maybe I shouldn't find my parents. Maybe they really didn't want me. Either way, I'm adopted and I'm pretty sure the boys wouldn't just give me up.

Or maybe they would I've been nothing but a nuisance to them and only cause trouble. They could go and adopt Haley or something. She's perfect right? She would be the perfect girl for them to adopt. They would love her, just like every other person on this planet. Except for me. I absolutely hate her with all my heart.

"Madison we're really sorry. We didn't mean for that to happen we didn't even know you have a picture with you." I sigh. Maybe I should forgive them. Maybe. Then I feel someone wrap a towel around my shoulders to face, Luke? Then he whispers something else," If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at Calum. He dangled the bag." then I hear Luke shriek, really girly shriek, and see that Calum hit him.

"I did dangle it but reme,bee Lip ring, it was your idea." he smirks and I smile when he uses my nickname for him. We all just ignore each other after that and I sigh looking at my picture and decide I should throw it away. I hear them mumble sorry as I drop it in the trash can and turn around to see them all eating chips. I just shake my head and go to walk away, but I don't know where I'm going.

"So Madison, you wanna go for a proper swim in the pool?" I can almost hear the smirk in Michaels voice as I turn around, I was right. I almost say yes before I remember, I don't have a bathing suit. The girls and I never went swimming much and if we did, we were all girls so we went in our bras and underwear.

"Um. I can't." I mumble looking anywhere but them. I'd rather not tell them this since they're technically my dads, which I will never call them unless I really want something. Another reason why I probably don't find them attractive.

"What do you mean you can't? You were just swimming weren't you?" I sigh and look at them to find confused looks and nod my head yes before answering.

"I don't have a swimsuit. The girls and I never used them." their eyes widen and they all shout at once "you all skinny dipped?!" I gag at the thought of that and shake my head rapidly.

"Um. Underwear and stuff." I blush looking down, it's weird talking to them about this and I can hear them whispering about me blushing about not wanting to talk about bras and underwear.

"Well that's good. Would be a little weird if a whole bunch of girls went.. Skinny dipping together..." that's when I remember that I'm dealing with hormonal boys and they're probably like the idea of girls their age skinny dipping together and I just shake my head. They know why.

"Madison if it makes you feel better I'm a responsible adult. I'm 20 years old and I don't talk to girls cause they're scary." Ashton says but you can still tell, he's a hormonal boy.

"Well you talk to me." I point out making him curse under his breath.

"Well you- shit. Ya got me there." he swears and all the other boys cover his mouth and I just laugh at that. I'm pretty much a teenage girl, I know what swearing is and I'll admit, I do swear sometimes but really nowadays who doesn't?

"You can swear. I've heard it before and I've done it to." then I remember I'm talking to my legal guardians. Basically my parents. If I had to pick Luke and Calum would be the moms. Ashton and Michael would be the dads. But let's not tell them I said that.

"Well you won't be swearing around here missy!" scratch that it might be Luke and Michael that are the moms because that was so girly.

"Looks like Michael demoted himself to a mom." I cover my mouth realizing I said that out loud. Well, shit. and yes I did curse, in my head so it's okay.

"What do you mean by that Madison?" Jesus these boys are so formal. Still calling me Madison like we're posh. But they're curious as to what I meant by that for sure.

" uhhhh. Well since you guys are basically my parents, there would be two moms two dads. I had Luke and Calum the moms at first because face it they're moms. But when Michael said missy he demoted himself a mom and now Calum's a dad?" I say grimacing because that sounds really stupid. But the boys don't care they just care about who's the dads.

"Why can I be the dad!" Luke whines. I sigh and decide to tiptoe off but remember I still don't know where anything is. This place confuses the hell out of me and I'd rather be at the orphanage but no I had to be adopted by four obnoxious boys in a band. This honestly annoys me a lot like, why me?

"Why me? I blurt out.

"Huh?" they all say in unison.

"Why did you choose to adopt me." I clarify biting my lip. I can see Luke doing the same thing with his lip ring. They all go into this big group conversation as I stand there awkwardly.

"Well you we're different I guess. You weren't interested in us, nobody seemed to like you much especially Ms.Crome she said that 'all you ever do is sit cause trouble and play piano. I guess you also had the same sense of humor as us when you called out that girl Haley, and you just had a different style. We wanted to know you. you're kind of like us in a way." they explain, taking turns through and I stand there, my mouth wide open and just think. They were really interested in me.

"Wow that's actually kind of sweet." I reply and they all go back to normal. They are nice boys I'll give em that, just not so nice to me, but that's only cease I'm not so nice to them.

"So uh do I have a room or is that only for rock stars?" I smile and shock them out of their daze. I wonder if they were thinking about me. Or maybe they were re-living the look on my face when the picture was ruined. Maybe they're jut think about food. I mean they are still boys. Why wouldn't they? I mean it's 4 in the evening so they should be. I still follow them up the stairs as they give me a tour. Pointing out their rooms and then we stop at a door. Im between Luke and Ashton with Michael directly across and Calum drifting close by.

They open my door to reveal a blank room and I frown slightly. I wasn't expecting it to be blank that's for sure, I was expecting a room. With at least a bed and a dresser and stuff. It's completely white as well but it is huge. And I have a bathroom to the side of it AND a walk in closet. It seems pretty cool once I decorate it.

"We have stuff to put in but we wanted you to paint it first." that gives me an idea. I know exactly what I want to do with it.

"I know exactly how I want to paint it. But I'll need some help." I smile deviously but they don't seem to notice.

"What do you have in mind?"

"Well lets just say, we need every color of the rainbow."
