Adopted by Louis Tomlinson

Chapter Eight - Bullying and Sleepovers ?

Feeling Katie's small body jumping up and down on my stomach made me realize i am no longer alone in my room. Slowly opening my eyes to meet shinning blue eyes filled with happiness. Oh how I wish mine could be like her , not having a care in the world.

"Daddy had to unlock the door for me last night , because you forgot to unlock it before you went to sleep." Katie said sassily .

She should spend less time with Louis, that annoying twat is making her sassy.

I move my body up and Katie quickly jumps to the ground. Starting directly at my face with concern , Katie ran out of the room. Slowly jumping to the ground I sluggishly move my feet along the ground to the closet.

I knew I would have to go back to school today , even if I did tell Louis and Eleanor. This was something I had to do to look strong. I had to show people that words can't hurt me. Going to the bathroom I look at my self in the mirror , now knowing why Katie's face showed concern. My eye's were still puffy , nose still red , and there were obviously tear streaks down my pale cheeks. Knowing Katie she probably already went and told everybody.

Just what I needed today , Interrogation! I can just tell today is going to be a great day! Being sarcastic is the only way I know how to deal with my bad fortune and misery. Good thing it's only in my head otherwise Louis would be sad for days.

Heading to the kitchen , I saw Louis with the other guys whispering in the corner. This will be interesting , I walk to the counter and pick up a plate full of blueberry pancakes with cinnamon butter. I would never admit it to any one , but I always loved cinnamon butter. That butter was like my guilty pleasure.

"MCKENZIE I LOVE YOU!! " Niall suddenly yelled at the top of his lungs , before giving me one of his Horan hugs.

I was irritated at his futile attempt to brighten my day , because his hug made me drop my plate of perfectly good pancakes and sadly cinnamon butter. Pulling away from Niall and swatting his hands away I pick up another plate.

Sitting down I felt the whole family starting at me with curiosity. Knowing they wouldn't stop until they know what's wrong I sadly stop eating to look at Louis.

"How is school Kenzie?" Louis said, adding what he thinks is a cute nickname.

In response I only shrug my shoulders, and look down at my half eaten pancakes.

"Oh Love , please tell us what's wrong. Katie came to us saying you looked like you have been crying my sweet." Harry said sweetly while rubbing my back with soothing hands.

To this I couldn't help the urging need to hug Harry and cry my eye's out , so I turned in my seat and slowly yet awkward gave Harry a hug.

The room was so silent you would hear a pin drop. Soon enough however , The rest of the lads had joined in the hug while saying supportive sweet things to me. I smiled reassuringly at Harry , before he told everyone to give me some space,and just like that I accomplished hugging.

Grabbing a note pad , I hesitantly wrote down what happened yesterday during cheer practice. After 30 minutes of Louis yelling and Niall hugging me , Eleanor suggested to make up for yesterday to have a sleep over tonight. I silently agreed , before walking going to school.

Jess met me by the door . Greeting me with that wide smile that always seems to reach her eyes. Andrew was right behind her ready to give me his signature bear hug. Unluckily for him I had enough hugs for the day.

"Awww! Mckenzie let me hug you!" Andrew whined while I hit his arms with my note book.

"Leave her alone Andrew! She obviously does not want a hug, you twat!" Jess said to her boyfriend with a stern smile.
