- Clair's POV -
"No, no, no you can't do that!" I whispered in almost disbelief to myself, hoping nobody heard it.
"I'm afraid I already did, love" Simon said.
"Then cancel it!" I raised my voice a bit.
"Now why would I do that?" He questioned, obviously confused.
I was on the edge of crying, but I wouldn't let my self cry in front of them, not this soon anyway. I looked at the guys who were standing beside him, they all looked shocked. Then I looked down at the ground.
"I'm too much trouble" I whispered in response, keeping my eyes locked on the floor.
"You should all listen to what she is telling you. This is the first time she actually says something smart, and it will spare you a ride back here." My dear foster mom agreed while the girls out in the hallway laughed.
"Shut your mouth, right now!" Simon shouted at my foster mom, scaring me half into cardiac arrest. "what kind of person are you? And for you Clair, you are coming with me." Simon left no space for argument.
"As you wish" My Foster mom sighed, "pack your stuff and go, Clair."
"We'll be waiting for you downstairs, Clair" Simon told me.
"No need for that, I'm not coming with you" I said.
He looked at one of the boys and gave him a court nod. Before I knew it, I was swung over the shoulder of a stranger.
"What are you doing!? Put me down!" I yelled. I was shocked.
"Nope" he stated as a matter of fact.
"Now where's your stuff?" Simon asked while looking around my room.
"I don't have anything." Embarassment was making it's way back into my brain.
"Oh, do you want say goodbye to your friends?".
"I don't have any of those either". I'm sure my face was the color of a tomato now.
"Well then, to the limo".
The boy who lifted me placed me down on a seat as far away from the door as possible, and then him, the rest boys and the man who adopted me got in the car.
"I'm Simon Cowell, and this is the Janoskians". Simon presented himself and the boys.
One by one he pointed at the boys
"That's Luke , Jai and Beau brooks, they're brothers, and that is Daniel and James, they are a group called the janoskians. I should probably let you know that there are more boys when we get home".
They all smiled at me, but I didn't smile back. I just kept my head down and wanted to disappear, I mean really? More boys? I don't know if I can handle that.
"How many?" I asked timidly.
They all looked surprised when I suddenly spoke. I guess they weren't expecting I would talk.
"There are thirteen more". Simon answered.
"Are they also famous?" Wow, great question. I'm a moron.
"Yes, there are two boy bands One direction and the Vamps, and just a regular band, 5 seconds of summer and of course the Janoskians who also live with us". Simon explained to me patiently.
"Wait, they all live at your house?" I mean, that's a lot of people in one place.
"Yes, and it's your house too now", That is definitely going to take some getting used to.
"Why?".
"Because i am helping all of them, and I didn't have time to drive all across the country everyday, so I thought; why not gather them all at one place. They too, thought it was a great idea!".
"How come you didn't have any friends?" James asked me.
Good one James, good one.
"They all hated me". I answered.
"Why didn't you wanna come with us?", Jesus, is this an interrogation now?
"Because I'm 17, normally people go for the younger people, unless they need them for something else, and people always bring me back to the orphanage". I stated tiredly.
"How many times have you been adopted?".
"Seven times".
Cue the awkwardness.

We arrived at Simons house and we got out of the car. The house was huge and beautiful. I was looking for a direction to run, but someone grabbed me by my wrist. It was Daniel, it was like he read my mind. He dragged me into the house and the boys walked behind us, just in case I should get out of Daniels grip. Simon opened the door announced to the entire world that we had arrived.
"We are home!".
All the boys gathered around the living room. They all send me kind smiles. Odd people.
"What's your name, love?". A curly haired guy asked.
"Clair smith, I mean Cowell now, I'm sorry" I responded, quickly apologizing to Simon.
"No need to apologize, dear" Simon dismissed.
"Sorry".
They started to laugh, I kept my eyes on the floor.
"I'm Harry, this Zayn, Niall, Louis, Liam and we're One direction". Harry countinued, "The guys over there are Luke, Calum, Michael, Ashton and they're 5 seconds of summer. And the other guys are Connor, Tristan, James, Brad and they're the vamps. Are you a fan?".
"No, I've never heard of you before". I answered.
"Really, never?" Michael asked. Okay boy, calm down.
"We weren't allowed to listen to "boy" music, but some of the other girls at the orphanage know who you are".
They all looked totally shocked, more like traumatized. All I could think was too many boys. I had no idea who any of them were, I couldn't breathe and I panicked. I guess everyone noticed because they were all staring in concern.
"Are you alright, love?" Simon asked.
They all got up from the couch and I flinched.
"Back off!" I yelled. "No, I'm sorry. That was rude and I did not mean to say that, please just - just, I -I -I" now was not the time for stuttering pull yourself together.
"Clair, love, we aren't going to hurt you." Simon said.
"Where's the restroom?" I spat out without thinking.
"Down the hallway to the left".
I ran down the hallway into the bathroom. I could hear them call my name. I slid down the wall, hugged my legs and put my head on my knees. Just when I realized I forgot to lock the door, someone barged in. It was Simon and Daniel.
"What happened, love?". Simon asked.
I didn't answer him.
"How about we show you your room?".
I nodded into my knees. Simon took my hand and lead the way. We walked past all the boys who sent some concerned looks. We went upstairs and he showed me my room. It was beautiful, plain white walls, a huge window, my own bathroom a huge queen sized bed.
"This is too much! It's beautiful thank you so much!" I ran over to Simon and him a huge hug. He smiled.
"I kind of have some bad news for you, love" Simon said.
"What is it?", my brows furrowed together.
"I have some meetings at my office down town, so you'll have to be alone with the boys, but just stick to Daniel he's a nice boy, he'll take care of you. They all will".
"WHAT!?!?"
