Adopted By One Direction

Chapter 3

[ Emily's POV ]

"Em, we're here. Wake up honey." My eyes snap open when I hear Liam asking for me to wake up.

"S-sorry." I gasp, and Liam unbuckles his seat belt, hopping out of the parked car.

"No problem love. Now, the others are already in the hotel room, so we better go join them before they cause trouble." Liam explains, and I nod quickly. Climbing out of the van, I stand by Liam, waiting for him to grab some stuff. As I wait, an idea pops into my head; it's a dumb one, but I'm beyond scared right now, I can't think right. Letting my emotions get the better of me, I turn on my heels, and run away from Liam. "Baby, no!" Liam shouts, making me scream in fear. If he gets me, I know I'll get beaten so badly.

"P-please!" I scream, not looking behind me, "D-don't hurt m-me!"

"Angel, please!" Liam yells, sounding closer than before. As I'm about to dart into oncoming traffic, arms wrap around my torso, stopping me.

"No, no, no!!" I shriek, tears falling down my face. "S-stop!"

"Shh, sweetie. Come on, we gotta go." Liam says, lifting me up into his arms. As we walk into the hotel, I'm wiggling around like an absolute maniac, but I don't care. I don't want to be here, I want to be with Ms. Anne, not with four males. When Liam arrives at a certain door, he stops, and knocks on it with one hand.

"Who is it?" Niall asks from inside, and Liam smiles at the voice of his friend.

"Liam and Emily." In an instant, the door is open, and Liam walks in.

"What took you so long?" Harry asks, strolling into the hotel room's small kitchen. Liam sets me down before answering,

"We ran into a problem that I'll tell you guys about later." Niall looks at us in confusion, as Harry starts making some sandwiches.

"Um, okay?" Niall says, but it comes out in the form of a question.

"Where's Lou?" Liam asks, walking over to where Harry and Niall are.

"In his room." Niall says, as he takes some milk out of the refrigerator. "Em, why don't you go get him?" Niall asks me, and I nod timidly.

"O-okay." I say, before scurrying off. There are only three doors to choose from, so I take a wild guess and pick the first one on the left. When I knock on it and hear no answer, I move to the next door.

"Who is it?" Louis asks, after I've knocked on the second door.

"E-Emily." I call out. In a flash, Louis opens his door, smiling at me.

"Come in baby." He says, but I shake my head, not wanting to be in such an enclosed space with him.

"T-the others se-sent me to g-get you." I tell him, nervous of his reaction. Instead of hitting me like I expected, he sighs softly.

"Okay baby, tell em I'll be right down." Giving him a quick thumbs up, I run away.

"Oh hey," Harry says when he sees me enter the room, "did you find out what he's up too?"

"H-he's coming." I respond, keeping my answer as short as possible.

"Okay, thanks sweetheart." Liam says, "Want a sandwich?"

"I-I'm a-alright." I say softly, which makes Harry sigh loudly. Glancing up at him I ask, "W-what's wrong?"

"Emily," he begins, "I just-" Before he can finish, he's interrupted by Louis entering the room.

"Hi lads, and uh, lass!" Louis calls, skipping over to us.

"Hey Lou, you hungry?" Niall asks, and Louis smirks at him.

"Unlike you Niall, I'm not hungry 24/7."

"Hey!" Niall protests, "I can't help it if I like food!" Louis and Liam start laughing at their friends reaction.

"Kidding Neil! Of course I'm hungry!" Louis shouts, and I notice Harry wiping tears of laughter away.

"Hungry or horny?" Niall asks, causing all the boys to absolutely lose it. I guess they think I wouldn't know what that word means, but I do, my daddy taught me all sorts of words.

"There's a child present!" Liam says, gasping for air. When I start backing up, Harry notices, and stops laughing immediately.

"Em, you alright over there?" He asks, walking towards me.

"No!" I scream, causing everyone to stop laughing, "S-stay away!! Y-you're all h-horny!" Before they can reply, I sprint away from them.

"Niall, you idiot!" I hear Louis yell, anger clear in his voice.

"I didn't know she knew what it meant!" Niall yells back, clearly annoyed his friends just turned on him.

"Em please!" Harry shouts, but I just speed up. Opening the third door, I burst into the room, slamming the door behind me. Sprinting to the bed, I crawl under it, and lay there silently, trying to control my breathing. Suddenly, the door is thrown open and I see Louis' Adidas shoes, as well as Harry's boots.

"Look in the closet." Louis commands Harry, and I watch in fear as Louis gets closer and closer to my hiding spot.

"Em? You under here honey?" Louis asks, as he squats down. Glancing under the bed, Louis and I make eye contact, his gaze softening. "Baby girl-" He whispers, but I cut him off.

"S-stay away f-from me! Y-you're all h-horny!"

"Em, Niall was just kidding. We aren't horny baby, I swear!" Harry protests, also glancing under the bed, trying to find me in the shadows.

"G-go away!" I shriek, tears cascading down my face.

"Emily please. Just come on out, and we can all go to bed." Louis tells me, and I scoot further away from him. Since I don't see Harry anymore, I assume he left, but I'm quickly proven wrong. Before I can react, Harry has grabbed me from the other side of the bed, and pulled me out.

"No!!" I cry out, fighting against him. Louis runs over to us, and I continue to struggle.

"Emily please! Just stop!" Harry begs me, but I can't stop.

"Lemme go home!" I plead, unable to stop myself from crying.

"You are home." Louis reminds me calmly. That's when it really hits me. Louis' right, this is my home from now on. But is it really? I've heard the phrase, 'home is where the heart is.'

Well my heart most certainly isn't here. So does this make this place my home?

No.

This isn't my home, and it never will be.

AN,
