Adopted | Ashton Irwin

Chapter 3

"Brittany!" Mrs. Hill yelled from down stairs. I got up and looked at the time. 1:30. Oh crap I'm in trouble. I hurried down stairs, getting in line with the other girls. I looked and saw four boys standing next to Mrs. Hill.

"What on earth are you wearing!" She exclaimed unhappily. I gave her a blank look, as she walked over to me.

"What is your problem!" She yelled slapping me across the face. I heard the boys gasp as I let a tear role down my face. I looked at the ground not wanting anyone's eye contact with me.

"Ok so as some of you may know, this is five seconds of summer and there here to adopt one of you." You could hear the happiness in her voice. Probably from getting rid of one of us. Girls started squealing about what she had said. I didn't know who they were and I didn't care. I looked up some and saw the guy with purple hair starring at me. I looked back at the ground, keeping eye contact as less as I could. She started calling each of are names for us to say hi to them.

"And that's Britt." She said with disgust in her voice. I looked up and they were looking at me. I gave a shy smile an they waved back.

"Ok so you guys are free to go now. The boys will be coming around to talk to some of you if they have any interest, otherwise stay away from them." She demanded. I ran back up to my room, feeling the tears dare to fall from my eyes. I shut the door as the tears came out.

"Why can't I have a better life." I whispered. It must have been thirty minutes of crying until I heard a knock on the door. I got up wiping the tears away, opening the door so I could see who was there.

"Can we come in?" The guy with purple hair asked. I opened it all the way so they could.

"Wow it's really small in here." The one with blonde hair said. I sat in my bed in the corner as the sat on the ground.

"So what's your name?" The one with black hair asked. Didn't they already know?

"Britt." I whispered loud enough for them to hear. They nodded and smiled.

"I'm luke." The blonde hair one said.

"Michael." Purple hair said.

"Calum." The one with black.

"And in Ashton." The one who I never really noticed. I nodded slightly before someone came barging in.

"There you guys are. Why are you with her?" She said with venom.

"Why can't we?" Ashton asked.

"Are you that blind? Look at her she's plain ugly, stupid, fat and worst of all look at her hair colour!" She scoffed.

"Oh so mines bad to then?" Michael started getting an attitude.

"Oh no if you knew her as well as I did I think you'd guys understand." She smiled.

"Well I think your wrong about her." Calum told her.

"Why don't I take you to Aquila." She smiled.

"Wait you mean the girl with the cropped top and skirt?" Luke asked. She nodded her head.

"I think we're fine here." Michael told her. The others nodded agreeing with him. Wow they actually care about me.

"Fine stay with the disgusting brat." She snapped. The boys looked at each other then back to her.

"Then will just adopt her. You don't give a damn about her so will take her." Michael smiled. There was no way I was living with four boys at all.

"Grab your bags Brittany." She said blankly. I only had one bag yet hardly anything in it. I grabbed it walking out the door last. I really didn't want to leave but then at the same time I did.

"I'll need one of you to sign papers as her guardian." She rolled her eyes.

"We've already talked about it and agreed that I'll be her dad." Michael smiled looking at me. I stood looking at the ground while they all gathered around the desk.

"What are you doing?" I heard the one girl I had hoped I wouldn't see again. I turned around to meet Aquila.

"What does it look like." I got out.

"You finally talk? It's about time!" She laughed. I ignored her looking away.

"Your lying your not about to be adopted by 5sos." She snapped.

"I guess I am going away." I whispered.

"What do they want with a little slut like you? To use you until there done and just throw you out?" She yelled.

"We would never do that to her and if someone's a slut here it's you." I heard Ashton behind me.

"I officially hate you guys!" She yelled.

"A true fan wouldn't dislike Michael's daughter." He smiled. She went running off else where crying. I turned around and gave Ashton a hug.

"Thank you for sticking up for me." I whispered.

"Anytime." He said as I let go. I felt so short next to these boys.

"Ok let's go." Luke called. I followed close behind Ashton as we walked outside. I hadn't been outside for a log time. The smell of nature filled my nose. It was actually cold today. Thank god I didn't wear shorts or id be freezing right now.

"You alright?" Michael asked. I looked at him, but didn't give him an answer. Ashton opened the door for me, climbing in after me. I laid my head against the window, thinking about how these boys could be like. I was terrified already that I have to live with one of them, but yet four of them.

"You should get some rest, the house is couple of hours away." Calum told me. I nodded my head, shutting my eyes. K was awoken to them fighting about what foods better than what.

"No! Nuetellas so much better than Hershey's chocolate!" Calum yelled.

"No no no no no! Hershey's chocolate is the bomb unlike nuetella!" Luke yelled. This was scarring me now. What if they got in a physical fight and one of them killed one?

"Guys stop." Ashton said.

"Hershey's chocolate is just popular cause there known for the chocolate bars and chocolates!" Calum yelled.

"Well nuetellas just popular cause... Of those chocolate crunchy ball things!" Luke yelled back. They kept going back and forth until Michael opened his mouth.

"Guys! Your scaring Britt!" He yelled. They looked over at me saying sorry.

"Are they always like this?" I whispered to Ashton.

"We all are." He admitted.

"Oh! We're home!" Calum yelled making me flinch.

"Sorry." He said quieter. I got out the car grabbing my stuff after Ashton. I looked to their house and it was ginormous. I couldn't believe it at all. They lived in such a big house, but just four of them.

"Come on Brittany." Michael called. Why'd he call me Brittany. No one called me it besides Mrs. Hill even though I told her not to.
