Here's to Never Growing up!
The Plane Ride
Marissa's P.O.V
We have been on the plane for three hours. We still don't know these people's names or where we are going, or why we are on a private plane.
"Jack, it bugs me that we are going to live with these people and we don't even know them. " I signed.
"Eveyone, we have been each others presence for three and a half days but have never talked to each other so let me introduce myself. I am Jackson Christopher, I go by Jack. I'm thirteen and a half years old and had lived in the orphanage since I was two weeks old, my hobby is karate."
"I'm Terrence Baxtar, I'm thirteen years old, and lived in the orphanage since I was twelve days old, my hobby is creating short feature films."
"I'm Lucy Nicole. I'm thirteen and the daughter of the orphanage's director. My hobby is playing tennis."
"I'm Aron Charles, spelled Aron. I'm thirteen as well and my hobby is rapping."
"I'm Jake Austin. I'm fourteen and my hobby is playing basketball. "
"I'm Drew Sierra. I'm thirteen and my hobby is drawing."
"Her name is Marissa Leigh. She is thirteen and the youngest. Her hobbies are photography and dancing." Jack answered for me.
"My name is Harry Styles, I'm nineteen, and I like to sing. I was wondering why Marissa doesn't talk?"
"My name is Max George, I'm twenty five, I'm also a singer. And Harry don't be rude."
"No it's alright, Marissa doesn't care. Aside from being one of the shyiest people ever she went mute a few years back." Jack intervened.
"My name is Nathan Sykes I'm twenty one and am also a singer."
"My name is Siva Kaneswaran, I'm twenty five. Oh and I'm a singer."
"My name is Niall Horan I'm 19 and I like to eat." After he said this we all started to crack up. Lucy ran to hug him.
"You're my favorite already!" She muttered from his chest. Sending us all into more fits of laughter.
"My name is Jay McGuiness, I'm twenty three and my eyes are purple." He said then made a face to send us all into more bouts of laughter.
"My name is Tom Parker, I'm twenty five and my favorite movie is sex in the city." He said seriously which sent us girls into more laughter.
"Why is that so funny." The boys asked.
"We'll play it after introductions." I signed and Jack translated.
" I'm Liam Payne, I'm twenty and my favorite movie is Toy Story."
"I'm Zayn Malik and I'm twenty one. I like to draw and am known as the Bradford Bad Boi!" He said
" Thank you for saving the best for last. My name is Louis Tomlinson, I'm twenty two and I like girls who eat carrots!" He said in a silly voice. We all laughed once again.
"Where are we going?" Asked Drew.
"To our house in Cheshire." Liam said calmly.
"What!" Lucy and Drew screamed.
"Is that a problem girls?" Max asked carefully.
"Do they have a forever 21?" They said at the same time. Causing us all to crack up for about the fifth time.
"Yes they do have a forever 21 in Cheshire." Louis answer, only to be crushed in hugs by the girls.
"Marissa, I'm not meaning to open a sore wound but may I ask what happened?" Tom asked carefully.
"Jack tell them about Zach." I signed.
" Actually can we show them the video of what he did to you?" He asked. I nodded. It was harder to watch the video than I expected and by the end, endless stream of tears were running down my cheeks. Zayn was the fist one to notice.
"Marissa, come here." He said and I rolled over in the stupid wheelchair I'm stuck in for two more weeks.
He surprised me by carefully picking me up and pulling me to his chest. After about 20 minutes I was passed around to every new guardian. After being passed back to Zayn, I started hearing sniffling and a lot of it. I look up to see all of my friends crying. I got Zayn's attention and pointed. To my surprise he signed back to me.
"Do you want me to ask them why their all crying?" He signed.
"Yes" I signed back. As a smile over took my face.
"Kids, why are you all crying?" Zayn asked soothingly. This alerted all the other boys who were on their phones. Everyone looked up and was shocked to see the six teens huddled together balling silently.
I took this moment to pull out camera and take a picture of this family moment. I patted Zayn's knee and pointed to the wheelchair so he put me in and I rolled over to them. All of the boys were watching intently. After a minute they saw me and brought me in to the hug. After ten minutes. They all turned out and Terrence choked out ....
"We're just so grateful that you took us in together. Thank you for not splitting our family up, and treating Marissa like that. Your are the first adult she's let within 2 yards of her in the last six years. And it means so much to us to see her happy. She is so important to us and we can tell she is already important to you too. You are our new family and we love you all soo much."
"And thank you guys as well you have already brought us together. We are rival bands who have all come together in only a few hours thanks to you. You are our new family and we love you all." After Max's little speech, everyone was crying in a giant group hug. All seventeen of us.
After about an hour of crying as a family, we all got snuggly with each other.
There were three seats in a row and they were huge seats. There were two rows per side and one in the
very back. If you lift up the arm rests and push the seat back it forms a bed that up to four people can squeeze in.
In the front left row:
Niall, Harry, Max
In the front right row:
Tom, Jay, Siva
In the back right row:
Zayn, Liam, Louis, Nathan
In the back left row:
Terrence,Jake,Jack,Aron
And the bed in the very back:
Lucy, Drew, and me
In only a short few hours I have learned many things about our new family. Harry, Liam, Niall, Louis, and Zayn form the British boy band, One Direction. Nathan, Siva,Tom, Jay, and Max form another British boy band called The Wanted. They were rivals, but their managers wanted them to collaborate. But first they need to become friends. They tried everything. Nothing work so they tried adopting children which was the key. Tom has a girlfriend named Kelsey Hardwick. Siva's girlfriend is named Nareesha. Louis is the boyfriend of Miss Eleanor Jane Calder. Zayn's girlfriend is Perrie Edwards from Little Mix. Harry sleeps naked. Everyone else sleeps shirtless. And most of them sleep in only boxers. Liam has a phobia of spoons. So dear diary I am writing to stay up because I don't want to have another nightmare. I'm starting to feel happy again and am loving my new family. Also ......
"mmmhhm." Someone's throat clearing brought me out of my thoughts.
"Hey Zayn!" I signed, shutting ad locking my diary and sticking it in the wheelchairs pouch.
" I couldn't fall asleep, wanna prank them!?" He said with a mischievous glint in his eye.
" There will be no prancing without me!" Exclaimed a hurt Max.
We all started to giggle. Then plot....
All of the boys are crazy obsessive with their hair so Jay and Harry are getting their hair straightened. Tom, Louis, And Nathan are getting their curled and Niall's hair will be died pink with some of Perrie's extra dye. Then we are going to slick back Siva's hair with Mohawk gel that belongs to Jake.
After four hours we were done and did something with everyone's hair but Jakes and planted everything under his blankets. We got in our beds and pretended to be asleep when we had landed so after everyone woke us up we started to get dressed. When everyone was awake enough to notice each others hair everyone started to scream. And then they noticed Jakes head was perfectly fine. After being chased around the plane by sixteen angry people, it was determined he would have to wear men's short shorts and a tight pink athleta women's jogging tank with black converse high tops.
Everyone got dressed to impress because we were going in front of the Tabloids.

Going infront of the Tabloids is scary! Multiply what ever you thinking by one million because it is scary.
Questions were being thrown left and right!
"hey girl look over here"
"boys why did you adopt a special needs child"
"is she mentally ill"
"whose last name is going to be taken"
By the time we got to the limo, all I could see was spots, my ears were ringing, I felt violated from being touched, and I had scrapes all over my face.
After processing what just happened I started to cry, I was scared out of my mind. Zayn and Jack sat on each side of me comforting me while Drew and Lucy cleaned the cuts. After my vision cleared I noticed that no one else was injured and realized that its probably harder for someone to get through a mob.
We have been on the plane for three hours. We still don't know these people's names or where we are going, or why we are on a private plane.
