Nicoles POV
I slightly rolled on my right arm and softly groaned at the pain in my elbow. I felt around my bed with my good arm, looking for my teddy bear. But, this doesn’t feel like my bed. The sheets didn’t feel thin like mine and the blanket was a lot heavier than mine. Because this isn’t my bed. I shot up on the bed, my eyes popping out of my head. I looked around the room and spotted another bed not far from the one I was in. Niall was softly snoring, tangled in blankets and sheets. There was a crack of light leaking into the room from the slightly parted curtains. I blinked, confused as to why I was here.

“Niall...?” I whispered over to him. He merely snorted and rolled over, his back now facing me. “Niall, why am I-” then it hit me.

Flashback
Anjelica, Nick and Zayn ran out the door, leaving me, Simon and the rest of the boys to sit here stunned.

“I’m sure that that everything will will be fine” Louis said, the only one that wasn’t so shocked. He had a blank expression, showing no emotion. He has the best poker face.

“Yeah, Anjelica will sort things out” Niall said, having complete faith in my sister.

“Was that your sister?” Simon asked from his spot in the big, open doorway. I nodded and Simon returned it. I went over to Anjelicas bag and started shoving the envelopes into it. Liam crouched down next to me and generously helped.

“Thank you” I said to him as he handed me the last envelope.

“No problem” he gave me a pinched smile. I looked down at the envelope and noticed the same secretive words ‘Private Information’ and ‘To the guardian of Nicole Frank’. I frowned down at it, remembering Anjelica saying that it doesn’t concern me. Without a second thought and no more hesitation, I ripped open the envelope and pulled out the folded papers inside.

“What’s that?” Louis asked, but I didn’t answer him. I couldn’t believe what I was reading. I stood up and twisted my face in horror.

“Nikki?” Liam asked, standing up with me. I gasped and dropped the papers. I couldn’t believe it, it’s not true. This can’t be happening, NO way. Niall scurried over to us and scooped up the papers. He skimmed over them and frowned, but wasn’t shocked. It was like he knew that I was adopted or something.

“Nikki, you’re shaking” Harry said, worriedly standing up with Louis. I felt the sweat build up and run down my trembling skin. My breathing quickened and I couldn’t think straight.

“Hey, hey!” Liam said, grabbing my shoulders and gently shaking me.

“What does it say?” Louis asked Niall about the papers, but Niall just shook his head.

“Nikki, I need you to calm down” Liam soothingly spoke, but not soothing enough. I roughly pulled away, the hairs on my skin sticking up. I felt waves of nausea hit me and I felt light headed. No, no..it can’t be true.

“Nikki, you’re having a panic attack” Simon said behind me. Liam reached out to me, but I screamed. I don’t want people touching me.

“NO!!!” I yelled and screamed again. I screamed in fear, frustration, confusion, and most of all, disbelief. I wobbled as I took unsteady steads backward. Everyone called out to me, but it sounded dull for I felt light headed and black spots splotched my vision. I felt my legs give out and I fell forward.
End of Flashback

That’s all I remember. I’m adopted. The scream that was building up my throat surprisingly didn’t cry out when I opened my mouth. It caught in my throat, making my mouth feel dry. I gasped and raked through the blanket, trying to free myself. I found it hard to breathe. I tried to get up, but I ended falling to the floor with a hard thud, the blanket dragged down with me. I let out a strangled noise that didn’t sound like me. I panicked again, needing to get out of here. I thrashed around, struggling to move away from the blanket tangled up around me.

“Mmm...” Niall sleepily moaned as I choked for air. “Nikki!” Niall gasped, stumbling out of bed. Niall rushed over to my writhing body. He pried the blankets away from my now damp skin. “Nikki” he said, but I kept shaking and kicking around. “Nikki!” he said louder. I froze immediately at the tone of his voice. I held my breath as I lay on my back, gazing up at the ceiling.

“No..” I whined as tears made their way down my cheeks. “No no no” I said, shaking and kicking my legs again. I want answers, I need answers, but I’m not sure if I want them. I’m hurt that my “family” knew that I was adopted and kept it away from me. Anjelica kept it away from me. My mom, my dad. Niall straddled himself over me, but didn’t touch me. His face came to veiw, worry etched in his beautiful face. I screamed out in emotional pain and lifted my left hand up to push him away from me. I don’t want him here, I don’t want to be here. This can’t be happening, oh god.

“Nikki!” he yelled and cupped my face in his hands. I held my breath again, my voice cut off by the feeling of his warm hands. I felt myself becoming light headed again. “Breathe” he instructed, and I felt my face get red from lack of air. “FRANK, BREATHE!!!” He roared and I gasped for air. He sighed in relief. He looked down with his blue, sympathetic eyes. “Nikki..”

“Let me go” I cried, but Niall shook his head.

“Not until I know that you’re okay” he said, gently pressing on my cheeks. Niall jumped off me when the door burst open. Liam and Louis were standing worriedly in the doorway in their pajamas. I sat up and wiped my eyes.

“Nikki..” Liam said, slowly approaching me.

“Why didn’t she tell me?” I wailed to Liam. Liam got on his knees and scooped me up in his arms. I wrapped my good arm around his neck and buried my head in his shoulder. “Why..?” I asked, my voice muffled. I looked up from his shoulder and saw Louis sadly looking at me.

“Love, I don’t know..” Liam said.

“I hate them” I said, referring to my mom, dad and sister. Why didn’t they tell me? I just wanted to know.

“No you don’t” Liam said and I sighed. He was right. I can’t hate them, I love them too much. But that doesn’t mean that I’m not mad at them and that I’m not hurt. Louis walked up and kneeled behind Liam to get face to face with me.

“I may not know why, but I do know that I’m glad you were” he said, and I was shocked. “Don’t take it the wrong way, but I’m glad that you were. Otherwise, you may have never had such a great sister like Anjelica, you may never had met Nick, you may never met us” Louis said smiling, but not the smile that showed his perfect teeth. For like the thousandth time, my eyes teared up.

“Yeah..” I whispered.

“And I’m sure that you love the family that you’re in right now?” Louis said and I nodded. “Than chin up. You just gotta accept it, love. Everything’s fine, it doesn’t change a thing.”

“C’mere” I said, pulling away from Liam and knocking over Louis with a hug.

“Woah woah” Louis chuckled and I smiled. He was right. Everything he just said was the complete truth.

“Thank you” I said and Louis patted my back.

“Yeah, yeah” he said, but I knew that he was happy he cheered me up.

“Can I get a hug too? I mean, you almost attacked me” Niall joked. I chuckled and pulled away from Louis. I crawled over to Niall and he engulfed me in his Horan hug.

“I love you guys” I said to his chest.

“We love you too” Liam said, causing me to smile huge. I pulled away from Niall and chuckled to myself.

“What?” Niall asked, smiling confusingly.

“It’s just that, everyone else must be heavy sleepers if they didn’t hear me screaming like mad woman” I said and Niall giggled.

“Don’t you mean madman?” Louis joked and I glared at him.
-----------------------
Liam and Louis moved around the kitchen while Niall and I lingered on the island.

“I didn’t know that you could cook” I joked at Louis and he shrugged.

“Actually, I can’t” he said, taking out an egg from the egg carton. He hit the egg against the pan and failed. He hit the egg to hard and he egg got all over.

“Louis!” Liam exclaimed. Niall and I giggled at the innocent look Louis put on. Liam shooed Louis out of the kitchen and then tried to get Niall and I to leave.

“But you would never kick me out of the kitchen” I said to Liam, putting on my best puppy dog face. Liam sighed and smiled.

“You’re right, you’re too cute” Liam said.

“And me?” Niall asked, batting his eyes.

“I’m lonely!!!” Louis shouted from the living room.

“Go keep Louis company” Liam said to Niall and he sighed.

“Alright” he said, leaving the kitchen. I giggled and shook my head.

“Hey Nikki?” Liam said, his cheeks dusted with pink.

“Yes?” I said, curious as to why he’s blushing.

“You look really nice in that dress, and your hair looks pretty straightened” Liam blushed more and I looked down at myself. I didn’t realize that I was still in my dress.

“Thanks Liam” I shyly smiled and blushed, my heart skipping a beat. Liam smiled and turned away, focusing back to the stove.

“So, what are you going to do when you see your sister?” Liam cautiously asked. I opened my mouth to answer, but quickly shut it when I saw Anjelica hesitantly stepping into the kitchen, all of the boys except for Simon and Liam behind her.

“Um...” Anjelica started to say, but frustration quickly flashed through me.

“How could you not tell me?” I snapped, causing everyone to flinch back.

“Nikki I’m sorry!!! Mom told me not to tell..” she said, looking down.

“Why didn’t she tell me?” I asked, frowning at her.

“I honestly don’t know-”

“Well I need answers!” I said, raising my voice. Anjelica bit her lip and the boys looked awkward and unsure. I felt a little upset that I was scaring them, but I didn’t realize that when I say her, my feelings I had earlier came back.

“I know, and you deserve them..” she said before continuing to speak. “If it changes anything, I always thought of you as a blood sister..” she softly said. My heart stopped at her sweet words. My sister never was one to be all emotional, but I could see her eyes get glassy.

“Anjelica, I will always consider you as a blood sister. I’m just upset that I didn’t know” I cooed. I hopped off the counter and my sister met me halfway. We latched onto each other tight. My frustration and anger subsided, but I still will be a little hurt.

“Please, forgive me..” she whispered.

“I can never stay mad at you, and I will always forgive you” I said, closing my eyes.

“Yay!! Happy ending!!” Louis shouted. I opened my eyes and saw him come in for a group hug.

“Don’t even think about it” I said, and he frowned. The last group hug, I got squashed.

“You’re no fun” he pouted. Anjelica and I pulled away and looked at each other.

“Oh, why not” I said and everyone cheered.

“But watch her elbow!” Anjelica shouted before we all embraced.

Notes

Okay, I love you all and I don't want to burden and bore you with what I'm about to say, but I got to let it out. I'm just so frustrated.
I've had a sucky day. My grandmother kept yelling and ridiculing me. Grrr. I know that she's old and I can't be mad at her, but she just keeps frustrating me!! She bossed me around and said that I don't deserve anything. And then this stupid glass pitcher breaks and cuts me really bad and my mom gets mad at me for bleeding everywhere! And THEN my friend calls and blows up on me because I haven't talk to her in a while. And then *Sad face* some girl messages me and tells me that she hates my story. This day just...bleh.
Alright, that's me done with ranting. Sorry about that. I thank you to those who have sent me POSITIVE comments and those who tell me what they think and do it in a nice way :) that makes me happy.
