>>Calum's pov<<

Here we were. All of us 15. Still at the stupid orphanage. Michael has been over protecting us for the past 5 years. Luke has gone mute. I was same old Calum. Just a little more timid than I was before the accident.

We were all offered to get adopted. Well I was. The mean old orphanage lady tells everyone that Luke has a mental disability and that's why he's silent and Michael has anger issues that won't go away. But I refuse to be adopted by anyone unless they'll take all three of us. No one would.

Until one day. Someone happened to walk into the orphanage looking for a teenage boy. The lady told him about me and I was called to her office to meet him. When I entered her office I was greeted by a young man with curly golden hair and hazel eyes.

"Hello, you must be Calum. I'm Ashton." The man said.
"Hi Ashton." I replied.
"Now Calum, this man says he would like to adopt you. Please take this offer." The lady begged.
"Okay but on one condition."

>>Michael's pov<<

I was trying to find Luke. If Richie found him again he'd probably pick on him for being mute.

Calum went to meet another person. Luke and I insist that he goes with them, whoever they are and leave us that we'll be fine but he refused. Luke and I both know what the lady says about us, Calum doesn't think we do but we do. We know we probably won't get adopted but once we're 18 we have to leave. Luke and I agreed that once we're 18 we'll first set out find Calum once he's adopted and then Ben, Jack, and Mali.

I found Luke outside. He was shoved against a wall by the much bigger, Richie Devin. Richie always bullied Luke for being shy. But I never let him get away with it. I might be extremely small compared to him but I still put up a fight.

"Hey! Richie! Why don't you just leave him alone? He's never done anything to you." I said in my most intimidating voice.
"And if I don't?" He replied.
"I'll make you."

Luke shook his head. He was too nice. He'd rather be beaten up than be defended. He already had a black eye and bloody lip. I hadn't gotten there in time.

I marched straight up to Richie and pulled him off Luke. Luke dropped to the ground once released from Richie's grip. Before I knew it, Richie and I were full-on fighting. Kids around us chanting things I couldn't hear and Luke trying to pull me away from Richie. But he failed and Richie pushed him to the ground and held him there by putting his hand on his chest. There was enough force to make it obvious that Luke was having a hard time breathing. Soon a pretty blonde girl, Lisa, went to get help. Lisa was a close friend of ours and helped out when Luke was getting bullied or I was in a fight. Here she was, saving us again.

A/n: Wow, we're off to a great start lol. I'll include a picture of Lisa in the next chapter because she's very important to the story. Bye lovelies!:3
