"Uncle Hally." Lexi said from the back seat as she kicked her legs up and down while looking out the car window.

"Yes love?" He said turning around for a second to look at her and she turned around making eye contact with him but not for long since he had to look back at the road.

She was silent for a while before we came to a stop light having Harry turn around and look at her. "Do I have to go to school tomorrow?" She asked. Just recently we enrolled Lexi into preschool but she hasn't gone yet because she's been afraid to go. This time Harry told her he'd go with her so she wouldn't be as scared. Although she wanted Ashton, but he can't really do that now.

"Yeah," Harry sighed before the light turned green signaling him that he could continue to drive. "Don't worry, I'll be there with you, it'll be fun." He tried to persuade her but she didn't look so amused.

"What if they don't like me?" She asked pouring out her lip. Harry looked in the mirror and got into the left lane before leaning back and having one hand on the wheel.

"Alexis," Harry scolded using her full name. "They will love you, just like we all do." Harry said trying to encourage her that she'll be fine but she still didn't seem to believe him.

"You'll be fine baby." I reassured her turning around and rubbing her leg. She nodded and went back to looking out the window.

We arrived at my house in fifteen minutes, Harry wanted to take a short rout so we got here faster. We all got out of the car and Harry barley opened the door before he was tackled to the ground now groaning. "Damn it Harold." Niall said getting up from on top of him.

"You aren't Addie." Zayn said getting off of him as well, neither of them helping him up.

"Nice to see you guys too. "Are you okay Harry?" "Oh why of course, I didn't just get tackled, thanks for asking." She's behind me." He mumbled being all sarcastic before moving aside so the boys could hug me.

"Addie!" Niall cheered hugging me tightly and kissing the side of my head. "You're alright!" He said happily now cupping my cheeks and kissing the side of my head.

"Yes I am, sorry about last night." I said apologizing.

Zayn pushed Niall to the side and cupped my face in his hands looking me dead in the eyes with a serious glare. "Don't you ever scare us like that again." Zayn scolded me before pulling me into his chest and giving me a big hug before lightly pressing his lips to my temple.

"I'm sorry." I said once again hugging him tightly back. I didn't mean to scare them it's just I need time to myself and away from everyone to just think.

"I thought we were going to lose you." Zayn said with a deep sigh while rubbing my back. Ever since Ashton left four years ago Zayn has always been there and now he's like an older brother to me, as are Niall and Harry.

"You gave us a fright Addie." Harry said wrapping his arm around my neck and pulling me into a tight hug.

"I gave you a fright?" I asked raising my eyebrows and he messed up my hair before chuckling.

"Forgot you're an American," he teased and I groaned, "I mean you scared us." He said and I nodded now understanding what he meant.

"Hey Lexi, wanna go shopping for school stuff?" Zayn asked, she practically jumped on him and began cheering happily and tugging on his pants.

"Let's go Zen!" She said rushing towards the door. He scooped her up as the two of them headed out the door. Leaving Niall, Harry and I alone.
