Chapter 5:
                          
I had a new family. At least that's what it felt like. If I had to categorize them further, Louis and Niall would be my triplets. We are so alike it's crazy, although they are a bit more outgoing than I am.
                          
Liam was like my older and definitely more mature brother, almost like my dad because he looked out for me so much, but he still knew how to have fun.
                          
Zayn was like my best friend, who you tell everything and anything, and they tell you the same. 
                          
I had actually seen Harry a few times around the house, but never enough to get a good look at him, much less get to know him, he seem preoccupied with some other things.
                          
I was laying on the couch with my legs swung onto Zayn's lap, Liam and Louis shared another couch in the theater room and Niall sat in a recliner by himself. Three out of the four were asleep, but when I looked back to see Louis, who I thought was awake, I found his seat empty. I looked around the room but couldn't find him. I just shrugged it off thinking he had gotten something to eat or whatever.
                          
Before I could return to the movie I heard a loud cry from outside the room and turned to find Louis running in with black lines painted under his eyes and a full water gun in his hand.
                          
"You wouldn't dar--"
                          
I never got to finish that sentence because the next thing I knew I was being soaked by a Super Squirter. I shrieked so loud it woke up all the others. Niall looked to Louis who had another gun in his hand, which I hadn't noticed at first, that he tossed to Niall, who caught it and began soaking Liam, who was still in shock. Zayn grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the room with Louis on our tails.
                          
I followed Zayn outside to the backyard right by the pool. I looked at Louis innocently and said "You wouldn't squirt me again would you?"
                          
"No, actually I have a better idea." he looked to Zayn who had a smirk on his face and glanced towards the pool.
                          
"Oh no you do--" I stammered. I was being picked up by the waist by Zayn and my feet by Louis, by this time Niall and Liam had joined us outside, I looked to them hopelessly, but they just laughed and shook their heads.
                          
In one swift motion I felt myself flying through the air and landing straight in the cold pool water. As I came up to the surface I planned on yelling at all of them but I noticed that they had all jumped in and now were wrestling each other. I just laughed silently at their goofiness.
                          
The next hour consisted of splashing and screaming and chicken fights. It was the most fun I had had in well.... forever.
                          
Finally we got out of the pool when it started getting darker and made our way back into the house.
                          
I ran upstairs to my room and took a quick shower and threw on some comfy clothes. When I went downstairs, it was if the whole mood had changed. All four boys stared at me silently with worried looks on their faces.
                          
"What happened?" I asked hesitantly.
                          
Louis let out a long sigh. "While you were in the shower a doctor called.... from the US." he paused "Dr. Water's? You know him?"
                          
I felt my heart drop and I broke out into a cold sweat. "Yeah what about him?"
                          
"Well he called to ask if you had found a therapist and were seeing them regularly, also something about 'depression medication'. Amber what's this about?"
                          
I didn't know what to say. How could I have forgotten. Less than a month ago I wanted to leave this world, now I'm having the time of my life. That's why, I've been so happy I haven't worried about seeing some stupid therapist.
