LUX
I get ready to go out to dinner with my 'family' who I don't know really. Well I am living with Uncle Louis.

Uncle Niall waits for me. Once I am ready, we head out the door to the kitchen and head to the living room where everyone else is waiting.
There are about 14 of us.

We go in a few cars.

I go in with Uncle Louis and his 2 children.

Uncle Louis lets me sit in the passenger front seat as his 2 kids are younger.

I sit quietly as Uncle Louis drives us to a restaurant.

1 hour later we arrive in Carlisle and too the restaurant. A Nando's restaurant.

We all park next to one another and get out, the adults help the kids out.

They lock the cars and we go to head inside, people stare at us.

We go in and Uncle Liam keeps me close towards him.

We go to the largest table and sit down.

I am sat between Uncle Louis and uncle Niall.

Uncle Louis said "Lux, what you gonna have"

I said "Medium Peri Peri double chicken burger with tomato, no mayo with a bottom-less Diet coke. Please"

Uncle Louis smiles and nods writing it down "Okay. Do you want any sides?"

I said "No thank you..."

Uncle Harry said "Are you sure Lux?"

I said "I'm sure, uncle Harry"

Uncle Harry nods.

Uncle Niall said "Good to have you home with us Lux"

I said "I guess..."

After Adam,Uncle Liam and Uncle Zayn goes to order the food and drinks.

I snap chat and put photos on my story.

I tweet the photos too.

After they come with the drinks and sit down.

I get a group messages from all the girls.

Madi "How's dinner going with your mum and uncles etc"

Rhiannon "Who you sat next too?"

Celine "Where you eating dinner?"

I reply "Hey girlies! It's okay, it's sooo awkward....I'm sat between my uncle Niall and Uncle Louis, we're at Nandos"

Celine replies "Why is it awkward?"

I reply "Cause i haven't seen them in 10 years and now my uncle Louis has fostered me..You know what else is awkward and nerve wracking"

Madi, Rhiannon and Celine reply "What?"

I reply "Little Mix are here too and My uncle Zayn is dating Perrie from Little Mix and i a Perrie Look alike for our band. It's scary because what if they hate me  and that hurts the band"

Madi replies "It won't hurt our band and you are lovable . We all love you so there is no doubt about it that Little Mix and your family love you too"

I reply "Hope you're right"

The girls said "We are <3"

I lock my phone and put it down.

I drink some of my diet coke.

Uncle Liam said "Lux. Are you alright?"

I shrug "I-I don't know."

He nods.

I keep quiet.

34 minutes later.

The food comes and we thank the waitress's and waiters and dig in.

After dinner , we head out and guess who is there. Waiting outside the flipping Nandos.

Paparazzi.
