Advance, advance is a word that many people use. Advance in technology, advance in studies, and of course,advance in social development.
My advance is the human brain, the most unexplainable organ in your body. But one day, I went further than any...
Lela's POV- 6 years earlier Our footsteps echoed through the hallways, as I nervously fiddled with my fingers. 'Where are we going father'. I asked looking around at the yelling voices getting louder and louder. The sirens pounding inside my head like a deadly migraine. 'We have to go now, or the bad people will get you'. He said taking a sharp right. I nodded and ran faster not understanding the risk. He opened an air duct, and sighed deeply. He hoisted me up and I crawled in. 'Come on father, lets go'. I said looking side to side to see if anyone was here. He closed the air duct and turned around. 'I love you sweetheart but I have to go'. I tried to protest but it was to late. Silent tears streamed down my eyes, as I silently went out each duct, scared to see what happens next. ******************************************* 6 years later- Lela's POV I woke up drenched with tears and sweat, and sighed to my self, wiping my eyes. I took a long shower and rinsed my hair, looking for the shampoo I realized that it was on the sink. I stretch my fingers and lifted the bottle in thin air. I brought close to me and immediately dropped it when I heard the door knob jingle. "Lela, there people here to adopt, come down here". I sighed and said a quick yes and finished my shower. I put on my best clothes and walked down the staircase.
I stepped into the line and stuffed my hands in my cheap jacket. I was already thinking of the endless possibilities, what if I get adopted, will they treat me bad, will they find out my secret, will they give me up to scientists. I shivered at the last one and took a deep breath. Just answer the questions and go back to your room. They won't even pick you why are you nervous. I sighed and debated if I should just make a run for it and hope nobody sees. Nope that's to dramatic. I looked off into space until an young man with curly hair at least in early 20's came up to me and shook my hand. He took me to the table where we usually sit when we meet adopters and talked. We talked for a long time as I noticed most of the girls in the room were gone. We still talked like we knew each other for years and talked about personal things like what is my favorite park or, what my parents were like. I checked the time on the wall and surprisingly we been talking for almost 2 hours. We said bye to each other and I headed up to my room. I closed the door and listened to my roommate talking on the phone with her friend about a band and stuff. I didn't like my roommate because of her personality. We used to be friends when we both arrived here but she "grew up", and we grew apart. Now I can't stand her presence when she snaps at me and tells me off. I rolled my eyes and stayed on my side of the room. I popped in my headphones and started to listen and singing to my favorite song. "Thought I found a way Thought I found a way, yeah (found) But you never go away (never go away) So I guess I gotta stay now Oh, I hope some day I'll make it out of here Even if it takes all night or a hundred years Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near Wanna feel alive, outside I can fight my fear Isn't it lovely, all alone? Heart made of glass, my mind of stone Tear me to pieces, skin to bone Hello, welcome home Walkin' out of town Lookin' for a better place (lookin' for a better place) Something's on my mind Always in my headspace But I know some day I'll make it out of here Even if it takes all night or a hundred years Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near Wanna feel alive, outside I can fight my fear Isn't it lovely, all alone? Heart made of glass, my mind of stone Tear me to pieces, skin and bone Hello, welcome home Woah, yeah Yeah, ah Woah, woah Hello, welcome home". I rolled over and fell asleep on my bed. ****************************************** I heard voices in my head and I stirred in my sleep. The voices started getting louder and I woke up completely, rubbing my eyes. I looked around and didn't follow up with my surroundings. I looked around to see me in the middle of two buff guys that had security written on their shirts. In the driver seat were Harry (the guy I was speaking to earlier and another dude with blonde hair and blue eyes. "I'm excuse me, where are we." The blonde one looked back and Harry kept his eyes on the road and started talking . "We adopted you, well I did but he's your brother." I nodded and didn't question anything, wanting to never step in that room with my roommate ever again. We arrived to a large, but decent type of house that was a bit bigger than the orphanage. The security men, got out of the back and I slowly got out too. They took out my luggage and I awkwardly walked behind the boys. "There are three more people here to meet you, there your brothers". Harry said searching for his keys. "Then what are you to me". I asked getting nervous all over again. "You can call me dad if you want to". I smiled and said a quick ok and walked through the door. Walking down the hallway were met with 3 boys, one was on his phone, and the other two were deep into conversation to see us. "Hi." I said, making them all whip their heads towards me. They realized who I was and squished me in a hug. I patted their backs and they all started talking at once. I just sat on a kitchen stool and tried to answer as much questions I could. They snapped pictures of me and I gave them a really face.

Niall started talking about posting this on social media and Louis smacked his phone on the ground. Niall glared at him and they tackled each other on the ground. The four of us walked over them and made our way upstairs. He showed me their room and then he pointed to a room that was baby blue. "This, is your room, dinners at eight". I nodded and thanked them and sat on my bed. Let's just say, I fell in love. It was the comfiest most softest places ever. I was gonna sleep perfectly tonight. I sung songs on my playlist while I unpacked my bags. It was 7:40 so I wrapped it up and made my way down the staircase. When I reached downstairs they were arguing about what they should get for dinner. "May I suggest, pizza". They all looked at me, except Niall who was looking hungry in the corner. "Yes you can since it's your first time here". Zayn said checking his notifications. Everyone nodded and sat at the table. When the door rung I got up to wander the door. I opened the door to a boy in his teens, holding a large pizza box. "It will be £6.99". He said looking closely at the receipt. "Ok, here you go". I said handing him a twenty dollar bill. He looked up at me and turned into a nervous face. "Um, here you go, have a nice day". I nodded and took the pizza and the receipt. I closed the door and sat in my chair. I gave Harry the receipt and he took a quick look at it, then he took a longer look and laughed. "Lela, I think you have an admirer". He gave me the receipt and I blushed and placed it under the pizza box. Boy what a day! After dinner I headed upstairs, took a quick shower and went to bed. I can get used to this!
