Penelope

It was in the middle of the night, tears were streaming down my face. I've had the most scariest nightmare ever.But the worst part was that I get them almost every night.

This one was about my father, they are the worst one's.

I kicked and screamed but that only made it worse, my dad was drunk. He kicked me and just yelled. "Shut up" he told me. I really tried to be quiet.

He picked me up and carried me down to the basement, he would always lay me there if I didn't respect him or did something wrong. That wasn't even the worst part, it had only started.

He broke his beer bottle that he had in his hand, then he took one of the parts and walked over to me, sat the glass against my skin, it hurt. I didn't say anything though because if I did I knew that it would only get worse.

I know it was just a dream but the scary thing was, it was one of the things that actually happened, I still have scars from it.

"Sh sh, Penelope it's okay, it's okay" Miss Clarkson comforted as she hugged me trying to calm me down.

"Honey it was just a dream. I promise" She said. But I didn't stop crying. I soon enough got too tired and felt my eyelids starting to drop, I then fell asleep in miss Clarkson's arms.

Me and the lads sat in the car, we were going to the adoption center that Penelope lived at. Today was the day we were going to adopt her. Crazy.

It had gone three weeks since we had decided to adopt her, it took a long time to get the management to be all good with it. But they had noticed that we wouldn't take no for an answer.

"I can't believe we are adopting Penelope today" Niall excitedly said.

"Yeah I know it's just crazy" Zayn agreed, we all nodded.

"Just think about it, in a couple of hours we're going to have a little kid to care for" Harry said with a smile.

"I promise you guys you will love Penelope" I promised.

"Yeah I bet" Liam smiled but he didn't look at us because he drove.

"OMG!" Liam suddenly screamed out witch made us all jump.

"What?!" I asked feeling a little bit worried.

"We need to baby proof the house..." Liam fretted, worry written all over his face.

"Liam she's five not a baby" I sighed as I'd calmed down a little knowing that the world wasn't ending.

"Yeah I know but, an example, the kitchen knifes are in a low drawer. She could easily reach those. There are sharp edges, she would need a car seat, oh my golly golly gosh.." Liam worried as he shook his head.

"Liam she will be fine, I promise. She can just sit in someone's lap when we go home, and we will buy her some stuff soon" Harry said, chuckling at Liam's reaction.

"Okay, Yeah. Your probably right" Liam smiled as he kept his eyes on the road.

We arrived at the adoption center and walked to the front door.

"Are you ready?" I asked for the second time in front of this door.

"Yeah" they all mumbled.

I laid three gentle little knocks on the door and soon we were greeted by a happy miss Clarkson.
