Evie's P.O.V:
'Michael is really good at this! Or maybe his pretending? I don't know... oh well.'

Once everyone gets into the car, the driver starts to drive the car. I think Micheals' sitting on my left, whilst Luke is on the right, his long legs are touching mine, or maybe I'm taking up too much space? Let me adjust, so now the stick is folded on my lap and my legs are parallel to my body. 'Better? I think so. '

I can hear Calum behind me talking to, who I'm guessing, Ashton. Who I think is zoned out since I haven't heard him in a while.

The car is almost silent except for Calums' voice and the boys breathing, 'or maybe it's mine? No, I'm holding my breath'. I really want to put my headphones in and dream away, but that would be rude, talking about phones, where is my phone? I'm sure it was in my hand? As I look/feel around my lap for my phone, Micheal nudges me, or did I nudge him? "Sorry," I squeak, 'pathetic', Micheal chuckles and says, "there's no need to apologize! I nudged you, what are you looking for?" he asks. "Oh, sorry, Just my phone, Sir, I've seemed to have misplaced it," I say, somewhat confidently. "I have it, here," Micheal replies as he places my phone in my lap, "and there's no need to call any of us 'Sir' we aren't old, yet" he continues. "Thank you, and sorry," I reply. "Just call us by our first names, if you want you can give us names!" Luke says from beside us. I nod.

"We have about an hour before we get home, Evie, so if you want to take a nap you can," Ashton says from behind. I turn to face him, hopefully, "thank you for the offer, Ashton, but I'll be alright, thank you," I say, softly. "That's alright!" Ashton giggles! 'So cute!' "Why don't we get to know each other in the meantime, then?" He suggests. The boys chorus their agreements together, 'lucky for me! Please note the sarcasm.'

Luke questions, "So, Evie, I heard you're a fan, mmh?" Damn, Jake! I attempt to face him, "Yes, I am. Your music is amazing," I say, calmly. "So, what's your favourite song?" Calum asks. "I really like (insert your favourite song)." I reply, "Not bad," Micheals says, and I smile towards him, "you have a cute smile," he says, "thank you, I'm sure yours is also amazing," He chuckles, "maybe."

"How old are you?" Ashton asks, "I'll be thirteen," I reply, 'idiot! He doesn't care!' Luke then jumps in, "what's up with you and Jake?" "Nothing," is my reply, "He calls you babe," Luke singsongs, I sigh at Luke's childish behaviour, "he's my brother from other mother and my best friend," I smile.

"That's good, I don't want you dating yet anyway, you're too young, " Ashton scolds. "Don't worry, I don't plan on ever dating, nothing before marriage," I say, not like anyone will love me enough to marry me.

The car falls silent after that. I think I drifted off, since the next thing I know, Micheal's gently shaking me awake

Micheal's P.O.V:
Aw, she's so pure and innocent, but she thinks no one will love her, I do already, I can't wait to have my life filled with her but I need her to trust us, not only me.

When we finally arrive at the house I see that she's fallan asleep, sitting straight up, it looks painful. As I gently shake her and she wakes up immediately, "sorry,* she says quickly and quietly, "don't be, it's okay," I say, trying to reassure her.

"Come on!" Luke yells already outside, so I slip out, "ready?" I ask Evie, she simply nods and gets out. I guide her to the entrance of the house, "there's a big step here and then the door, and about two steps after," I inform her, she simply nods and guides her stick to see how high the step is, and that's when I realise that it comes up to her thigh!

"Would you like me to lift you up?" Luke asked from In front of us, "yes, please, I'm sorry I cannot reach," Evie replies. "It's okay! I'm going to lift you from under your arms, okay?" She simply nods, and Luke crouches down to lift her. "There we go," he says, once both her feet are on the ground, "thank you," she says, softly. Luke nods, and Calum nudges him, he blushes in embarrassment, "it's okay, Hun!" She tenses but remains silent, maybe she doesn't feel comfortable enough for pet names?

Lukes' P.O.V:
She's so light! When I place her down I feel myself wanting to hold her and protect her with everything in me. But I supress myself. "thank you," she says, snapping me out of my thoughrs, I nod, then I feel Calum nudge me oops! It looks like she's loking at me so I completely forgot, I'm sure I'm blushing good thing she can't see it "it's okay, Hun!" I exclaim, Evie tences slightly, maybe I was too loud?

Ashtons' P.O.V:
After I got out of the car I run inside to turn on some of the lights and close the blinds as I remember that Jake said Evie was light sensertive. Once I was done I want back outside where a tense atmosphere had settled, "Come inside! Let's show you around," I say hoping to lighten the mood.

Micheal's P.O.V:
I gently brush my hand on Evies' shoulder, "ready," I ask, she nods, simply. So I lead her inside, "would you like a tour?" Calum asks Evie, standing in front of her whilst I am beyond her. "Yes, please," Evie says, gently. "Let's go!" Calum starts, " right now you are standing in the entry way to the house, on your left is a built-in closet for jackets and shoes, would you like to place your things in there," Evie hasitates and then nods, Calum beams, "may I take your hand, My Lady?" Calum asks, Evie gingery, sticks her hand out and Calum grasps it softly and leads her hand to the door handal, "the door handal is behind the front door once it is open so if you ever forget then you can open tht front door and whilst holding the handal the back on your hand will touch the closet doors handal" Luke explains, "would you like to test it?" he asks, she nods whilst we move out of the way.

Her small hand quickly finds the door handal and swings the door open and finds the closets' handal, closing the door before opening the closet, everyone claps, "Well done!" I say.

Calum then takes her hand and tell her where her hangers are and our plans to wrap them in fo-fur so she can distingish them and she hangs up her coat (what looks like an old blanket with string to tie it), I make a note to buy her a new wordrobe. "We will show you upstairs first so we can show you your and our rooms and then downstairs later," Ashton says. She nods.

"So if you follow forward on you right is an opening to the stairs which you can follow the wall up," Calum says, as we walk allowing Evie to lead. "Once you get to the landing the first room on the right is your room," Luke says, She stands facing the door. "You can go in." I say softly.

As soon as she opened the door she walks straight to the opposite wall, which has the phrase "dream big" in large grittery letters with LED strip lights as an outline, this causes the glitter to shine and reflect all over the room, "Beautiful," Evie whispers, "I'm so glad you like it!" I say, giving the guys the 'I told you so' look. They said she wont be ale to see it but she can see light and shadows so glitter and lights are a win!

After a whille, Luke says, "if you walk to the 'D' and then walk away from the wall you will reach your bed, that as one side table on either end and on the foot of the bed is a storage bench." Evie walks slowly as if she's mapping everything out. "Opposite to your bed is a bay window which has a cushion seat," Calum says, "it over looks the garden" Ashton continues.

Evie smiles, "it's amazing, thank you!" She exclaims. "There's more!" I say. "If you come back you to the 'D' you'll find a door that leads to your bathroom equipped with a huge tub, shower and toilet, we are going to try to make your whole room more accessible with voice control so it's easier for you" Ashton explains. "Thank you so much" Evie says

"If you move to your left you will find other door that leads to a... closet!" I say. "It's empty right now but we can go shopping tomorrow and fill it up!" Calum says. "Thank you, but there's no need to spend money on me," Evie says, softly, "but we want to!" Luke whines like a five-year-old, causing Evie to giggle cutely and say okay.

"Now if you walk to the end and turn left you will find a door that lead to your bedroom," Calum says, "it's adjacent to you bedroom door and bed" Luke says, like a smart alac. Evie slowly walks against the wall towards the bedroom door and turns to face us, "thank you so much! It's amazing!" she beams, "It's our pleasure!" we chorus then look at eachother in bewilderment, Evie mumbles something that sounds like weird, but maybe no one heard it?

"Let's show you where our rooms are," Calum suggests, we all nod. "Let's go," I say, and we walk out with Evie in front then Calum and rest of us follow beyond. "The room opposite yours, Evie, is Micheals and the one next you is Ashtons' next to his is Lukes' and mine is next to Micheals'. If you ever forget there is our initals on the door above the handal." Evie nods.

"Let's go downstairs and eat!" I say, getting hungry. At that moment Evies' stomach qrowled and Calum shouts, "I think Evie agrees," She nods, not looking embarred at all.
