Chapter 2

CHAPTER TWO:

“Hello love! I’m Niall!” I hear Niall say. But of course I already know that because I am a fan. A huge one at that. Ms Dick walked over to me and said “Lucy, these boys would like to interview you before they adopt you.” She took us all in a private room and we all sat down. Ms Dick whispered in my ear “Don’t mess this up or there will be serious consequences.” I flinched and she walked away smiling at the boys. 

“She’s a bit mean isn’t she?” I’m guessing Louis heard what she said. I wouldn't be surprised if they all did. After all, she always fails at whispering.

“Yeah.” I say just brushing it off. “I’m used to it.”

“So. Sweetie. What’s your full name?” Harry asks.

Oh god. Umm what do I say? I only no my first name.

“Lucy umm something something?”

They all look at each other with a concerned look on there face.

“You don’t know your full name?” Harry says worriedly.

Tearing up I say “No, my mummy and daddy never told me.” 

They look at each other again. I knew they were all thinking the same thing but what I was wanting to know, what were they thinking? Were they planning when they were gonna start abusing me? I have know idea. 

*FLASHBACK*

“Mummy, can you make me some food I’m hungry.” I say nervously. I never ask for something because I know the consequences. She looks at daddy with a knowingly look on her face saying go for it. He walks over slowly with a smirk on his evil face. His eyes huge. His breathe smells like Alcohol and tobacco. I knew I would regret that.

“DADDY NO PLEASE DON’T DO IT PLEASE!” 

“You really think I’m going to listen to you? After everything you have caused us!?” 

I scream in fear and in pain. Why did Daddy have to do this to me? I think, as he whacks me with a rope a few thousand times so that I bled.

“DADDY NO PLEASE STOP!”

*LUCY’S POV*

“LUCY, LUCY ARE YOU OKAY?” I hear the boys asking me. Tears streaming down my face, I’m curled up in ball and the boys are asking if I’m okay? What do they expect me to say?

"Yeah.. I guess." 

 "We can talk about it later if you like." Louis says caringly.

 He sounds so caring. But for some reason, I still can't trust them. They are my idols but.. I don't know. Maybe after being adopted many times, trusting them and being abused a week later I guess it’s fair enough. It will take me a while to fully trust them.

*HARRY”S POV*

Our soon to be little girl doesn’t even know her full name. She started to tear up when she said Mummy and Daddy. I wonder what she went through. I have to find out.

*LUCY”S POV*

“What do you like to do in your spare time?” Niall says happily.

“Well ummm... I like to ummm” 

“What love?” Louis says.

“I like to um listen to music”. I say fast with a blank expression on my face. I mean the orphanage wasn’t that bad. The only thing I had in my room was a stereo with a radio and cd player. Apart from a bed and set of drawers with a mirror of course. That’s how I heard of One Direction. I had only heard the singles, especially Little Things.

“What kinda music?” They say with a smile on their face.

I didn’t want to tell them I was fan. That might change their mind about adopting me, but they were going to have to know eventually so that’s when I nervously pulled out my Harry Doll from my bag and put it on the table.

“Well I like One Direction.. You guys.” I laugh nervously. I never let anyone know what I am into. Mainly because they don’t care and would beat me for it.

"What songs have you heard love?" Harry looks at me questioningly.

"Only your singles. I couldn't afford your CD's because I bought the Somewhere New EP by 5 Seconds of Summer."

"You like 5 Seconds of Summer to?" Niall says with a grin.

"Yeah, I also love them."

"Well we have a surprise for you next week!" They all say excitedly.

Oh god I hate surprises. They always meant a beating or rape.

*LOUIS” POV*

When she pulled out the Harry Doll I wondered how she got it. She probably would have saved for months maybe even years for that doll. Which means we really mean something to her.  I looked at the boys and they all knew what I was thinking. We have a daughter. 

*LUCY”S POV*

They all just looked at each other. I wonder why they keep doing that. Yes I am fan of them. In fact a huge fan and I have no idea how I have kept everything together over the last half hour. 

“Sweetie, I think that’s enough interviewing for now.” Louis says grinning.

“We have one more question for you though.” Liam asks. 

Wow he was quiet that whole time. I don’t know why. Why isn’t Zayn talking either? I know Liam is known as the boss I guess but  Zayn? I don’t know. Maybe he was just observing. Letting all the rest of them ask the questions. 

I started to panic. What was that one last question they wanted to ask? 

“Would you like to be our daughter?” 

They all had huge smiles on their faces. 

Woah what? Are you serious? I was not expecting that. I mean, who would want to have me as a daughter? Daddy always told me I’m a brat. My idols were sitting in front of me with a huge smile on my face wanting to know if I wanted to be their daughter. Maybe I am finally out of the clear. Away from the abuse. Away from all the bad things that happened. I am sure One Direction won’t abuse me. They aren’t like that. They ca't be like that. I will give them a chance. I mean, what have I got to lose? I already have nothing.

“Yes, I would love to.” I say with a smile on my face. That’s the first time I have smiled in days. I'm excited about being adopted by my idols. 

Louis picked me up and Zayn grabbed my bag. He said with a smile on his face “Welcome to the family love” and we walked out, they signed papers saying they were my official guardians and we left. We got into the car and drove off. Away from the horrible place.  

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*ZAYN”S POV*

We have a child. I gorgeous 11 year old. I can’t wait to spoil her. Make her happy. Get her away from the abuse. I know Simon wanted us to do this just to get more famous but I actually want this. I must tell perrie.

*LOUIS POV*

 I can’t believe it. I thought we would get a naughty 16 year old or something. Instead we got what we all wanted. What I wanted. I little beautiful 11 year old girl. She’s gorgeous. I can’t believe what she has been through. I just want to cuddle up to her, keep her safe. Away from all the memories. Abuse. Everything. I want to be there for her when she needs me. I love her as my daughter. She’s mine. Ours. I’m going to be the best dad she has ever had.

 *HARRY’S POV*

She’s gorgeous. I going to be the best dad she has ever had. We all are. She is going to have a perfect life from now on. 

 *NIALL”S POV*

I wonder if Lucy is hungry.  Make her love who she is. She looks beautiful when she sleeps. Her life is going to be so much better with us 5 boys in her life. I wonder how she will react to 5 Seconds of Summer?. We will find out next week when we go rehearse for Where We Are Tour.

 *LIAM”S POV* 

She is seriously perfect. She looks so cute when she sleeps. Her life will be so much better now. I am going to take care of her. Make her healthier. Can’t wait for her to wake up. We are almost home. I hope she loves her room. 

*LUCY”S POV*

“Are we home yet?” I ask Harry. 

“In fact, yes we are.” He smiles.

I look out the window. I’m home. Who knows for how long but I’m home.

We drive up the stone driveway and there it is. The most flashest, prettiest house I have ever seen.
