Adopted by Connor Franta (Book 1)

Chapter 11: Video Call

I ran back to my room and shut the door. Tomorrow will be a better day...I hope. I checked my phone and saw that I had another text from Trevor.

Trev-Trev: Yeah Style.

I forgot we hadn't finished our conversation from before.

Me: Well my favorite song isn't Style..just to let you know

He answered back almost instantly.

Trev-Trev: Really? I knew you didn't tell the truth in the adoption room back in the center about that. :)

Me: So you aren't mad at me?

Trev-Trev: Me? Mad at you? I could never be mad at you!! But I do wanna know your favorite song. ;)

Me: You really wanna know? You can't laugh or ask questions okay? :)

Trev-Trev: Yes I do want to know. Promise I won't laugh or question.

Me: XIAT...

Trev-Trev: I love you!!

Me: Honestly who doesn't? Haha JUST KIDDING!!

Trev-Trev: Goodnight beautiful!! :)

Me: Goodnight handsome!! :)

I put my phone on the charger and changed into some night shorts and an old t-shirt from Sadie. I climbed in my bed and fell asleep to the thoughts of Trevor.

~Next Day~

I woke up and rolled around in my bed trying to go back to sleep. I soon gave up and looked at the clock on my desk.

6:48 a.m.

Alright. Since I'm up I guess I could practice my dance to my other ALL TIME FAVORITE song. I turned on my playlist and clicked on The Climb by Miley Cyrus.

I started my routine starting in the corner as soon as the music started. I was moving along smoothly until I heard footsteps coming towards my room. I kept moving along until I heard my door open.

"KATIE FRANTA IT IS TOO EARLY FOR A DANCE ROUTINE!!" Connor basically yelled at me.

I ran to my laptop and shut the music off.

"I'm sorry Connor.." I climbed back in bed, but Connor just stood in my doorway.

"I thought we moved past the Connor stage."

I was confused until I realized I said Connor instead of dad. I just kept my mouth shut.

"I guess not then.." He shut my door and I heard his footsteps walk away.

Ughhhhhh!! I screwed up again!! I thought.

I grabbed my phone off the charger and went on Twitter.

@Katieswizzle101- Early morning dance routine for me!! :)

I sent the tweet and then scrolled through my Twitter feed. I had many new followers and many new favorites and retweets on my past and new tweets.

I didn't realize I fell asleep until I heard my text alert go off. I checked the text...Trevor.

Trev-Trev: Good morning sunshine!! :)

Me: Good morning prince charming!! :)

I climbed out of my bed with my phone in hand and walked to the kitchen. I grabbed a glass out of the cabinet and fixed me a glass of orange juice. I heard footsteps and I knew they were Connor's so I just sat at the bar on my phone sipping my glass of orange juice.

He walked in and grabbed a granola bar and hopped up onto the counter. I really didn't feel like talking to him at the moment so I finished my juice and set my glass down in the sink.

"You can wash that." Connor spat at me.

I washed the glass avoiding eye contact with him. I dried it and put it back in the cabinet. I walked back to my room without saying a word to him or looking him in the eyes.

I walked to my desk and opened my laptop up and logged into Skype. I had 2 missed video calls from Sadie.

I clicked on her icon and prayed she'd answer. After a few rings she did.

I saw an unhappy Sadie staring at me through a computer. I saw my empty side of our room in the background.

"Hey Say!" I said smiling.

"Hi Kate." Sadie said with a small smile. I noticed she looked like she lost weight and her eyes were droopy.

"How's everything over there?"

"Well Ms. Duece hasn't had anyone come to adopt since you left with those boys so we have been doing extra chores. We even are going to bed later because we have to finish our chores before we can go to sleep! And she's waking us up earlier!"

"Aww I'm so sorry Say!! At least you had time to answer my Skype call."

"Actually I was going to take a shower and I heard my laptop ringing so I came to see what it was."

"Aww I'm sorry. You can take one after right?"

"Well...since we have so many chores I haven't had any time for a shower. My last shower was the other day when you were here."

When Sadie told me this my hands covered my mouth and I gasped.

"Sadie. End this call and go shower! Now!"

"I can't do that I only have 10 minutes to shower..new rules..and I've already spent half of it on here."

"Sadie I am so sorry!! I wish I was there to help you!!"

"Katie don't wish for things you don't really want. Look I gotta go. I will call you when I can. Love you!!" She ended the call.

I didn't even get to say bye. I wish she didn't have to suffer like that. It really hurts to see her like that.

I closed my laptop and pulled out my pictures that I packed from the adoption center before I left.

I hung some wire along my wall from the top of my wall to my eye level. I then took some small clothespins and hung up my pictures up. I smiled at the pictures remembering when I took each one. They each meant something different. And that's what I love about photography, each picture tells a different story.

I took a picture of my wall and posted it on Instagram.

katieswizzle- Each picture tells a different story...
The picture of my wall was attached.

I heard a soft knock on my door. I didn't feel like talking to Connor so I kept quiet thinking it was Connor wanting to talk. I heard footsteps walk away. And a voice I recognized immediately as not Connor, but.....
