Adopted by Falsettos

Chapter 16

It's been two weeks since I've been out of the hospital, and I was allowed to use my laptop again. I was playing a computer game in my room while Stephanie was doing a show, and truth be told, I was bored. Like really bored.

"What's this?" I asked, stumbling upon a website called Wattpad. I smiled and looked through it a bit, then decided to make myself an account.

I decided to make my account a Falsettos-fangirl heaven. My entire account was Falsettos-themed. Even the username, which was "thebisexualnextdoor."

Even in my first hour of joining Wattpad, I made a lot of friends. There was this girl named Emmy who's favorite musical was Heathers but also loved Falsettos as well. (She also has a serious addiction to the Try Guys, I decided to watch a few of their videos and oh my God they're hilarious) There was this kid named Angel who loved Falsettos way more than the average person. There was this girl named Lex who was...pure chaos. There was Bee, who was Emmy's best friend and exposed her evilness to me. And there were a few others too.

I found a few fanfics about kids who were adopted by Broadway casts, just like me. I smiled as I read them, realizing that these fictional kids went through some of the same things I did. And possibly more. (Emmy, you're an evil writer.) And then I decided to write my own Adopted by Falsettos. Because I really wanted a little sister.

And then it hit me. The username. If Stephanie or anyone found this account, I would get outed to them right away.

"Josie! I'm home!" I heard Stephanie call. I looked over at my alarm clock and realized that I should've been in bed by now. "Hi Mama! Just getting ready for bed!"

"Okay, sweetie, good night!"

"Night, Mommy!"

Stephanie's POV

"What's so funny?" I asked Brandon as he was laughing loudly at his laptop. He kept cackling and I was utterly confused and slightly terrified.

"Come here, just...come here." Brandon said. "I think Josie has a Wattpad account."

I looked over Brandon's shoulder and laughed out loud. "How did you find this?" Brandon giggled and said, "Someone tweeted an Adopted by Falsettos fanfiction to me and out of curiosity, I read it. And then I realized that the author's screen name was Josie and then realized...this is our Josie."

"Let me see." I said, taking the laptop from Brandon and scrolling through the account. "Awww, it's actually kind of cute! Look at Josie being a little writer."

"Her fanfiction is really well-written, I'm impressed." Brandon replied. I looked at her bio and laughed out loud. "Brandon, look! Her bio!"

"Read it to me." Brandon said.

"Wait, what's going on?" Betsy said, walking up to us. I controlled my laughter and said, "Josie got a Wattpad account and Brandon stumbled upon it and her bio is hilariously adorable. Listen. 'Hi! I'm Josie! She/they pronouns, please! I'm a bisexual mess who's obsessed with Falsettos but I'm open to listening to other musicals, too! Obsessed with Stephanie J. Block.
