"mate what are you doing?" luke asked as the social worker walked away with a nurse to ophelia's room.
"come on luke, i can't just let her go." i replied.
"let me page ash and cal and we can talk about this before we make any decisions." luke spoke quickly.
"do you not want her to come stay with us?" i asked.
"i do. i want her to stay with us, but i also want you to understand the responsibilities of fostering a teenager who was abused." luke mumbled.
i saw ashton and calum walk over and we all went into a room.
"so, what's this about?" ashton asked.
"i want to foster her." i spoke simply.
it was silent for a moment before calum spoke up.
"well, i'm all for it. i think that's great of you." he smiled lightly.
"i am too, i just want you to be aware that if you foster her. we are fostering her." ashton smiled.
"well then, i think we are going to foster ophelia." luke chuckled.
i felt my heart immediately warm up.
"thanks guys. i couldn't have done any of this without you." i whispered.
"oh mickey trust us. we know." luke smirked.
ophelia's pov
i woke up to a blurry room. i was back in the hospital.
suddenly all of the memories of before came rushing back and i felt tears enter my eyes.
my mom was dead.
i looked up to see a smaller woman with dark brown hair and blue eyes staring at me.
"hello ophelia." she spoke softly.
"who are you?" i mumbled.
"my name is mary collins. i'm a social worker from CPS. i'm so sorry for your loss and what you have gone through." she spoke with a sympathetic smile.
"let me guess, i'm going to be put into the foster care system." i spoke tiredly.
"no, someone actually volunteered to foster you. you are going to be in the foster system until a judge can approve it, but that shouldn't take more than a few days if you want to be fostered by this individual." she smiled softly.
"who is it?" i spoke as i sat up.
"me." i heard michael say as he walked into the room with luke, calum, and ashton behind him.
i stared at him for a few seconds before tears flooded my vision.
"r-really?" i replied.
"yes really." michael smiled as he sat next to me.
"and you are all okay with it?" i spoke staring up at the three smiling faces.
"yep! as long as you know that if this gets passed, you have three loving uncles! by the way, i'll be your favorite." luke spoke with a smirk.
"hey now that can't be decided by you!" calum laughed.
i couldn't help but crack a smile.
"i really don't want to be a bur- "don't even finish that sentence! you are anything but a burden." ashton interrupted.
"doctors, sorry to interrupt, but until the paper work is complete and is passed by a judge, she is going to have to stay with a foster home." mary spoke slowly.
i looked at them with a tiny smile. "i'm okay with it."
"we'll finish the paper work soon don't worry." michael smiled lightly.
"okay, i think i've done my share of the news. i'll be back tomorrow morning to take you to a very temporary house." mary smiled as she walked off.
"thank you, you guys really didn't need to do this."
i spoke as i stared up at them with tears in my eyes.
"nope no tears or crying. that's only going to be allowed when we are finally a mini family." michael whispered as he wiped the tear that trickled down my cheek.
"enough with the sadness let's watch a movie!" luke smiled.
we all agreed and watched, finding nemo.
i looked over at the four men next to me. i couldn't have been more blessed with a better mini family.
