Why Me? (Adopted By Them)

Chapter 15 - All This Bad Blood Here

Karrie's Pov.

I woke up in my bed with a pounding headache. 'Wow was I really this drunk?' I say in my mind looking in the mirror, I had my mascara smudged down my face so it looked like I was crying. I also had my hair stuck to my cheeks because of how sticky they are from sweat and everything like that. Then I saw my bed. There was a sick pile. Great! I went into the bathroom and took a quick shower, watering my hair down instead of washing it. Then I wrap a green towel around me looking in the mirror. I brush my teeth and then look back up. 'God why does Patrick like me?' I think to myself. I shrug then walk out. I grab a Bring Me The Horizon tee and some green skinny jeans. I dry myself off and put them on. Grabbing my bed sheets and walking down into the basement. The boys which are Dallon, Pete, Patrick, Brendon, Ryan, Cody (Set It Off), Oli, Kellin and Vic was sitting on the sofas. I watched them on the stairs whilst I heard them talking.

"You like Karrie don't you?" Vic asked Patrick. "Possibly but she is underage. Pete what should I do?" Pete replies, "Wait, if you love her you should wait." Patrick nods and I smile. I continue walking down the stairs. "Hi guys!" I say. I walk over to the washing machine and place my bed sheets in there. "Thanks so much for last night, it was a great party!" I say. Patrick smiled. "Karrie, its okay you don't have to say thanks for everything we do, we know you are thankful already!" Brendon says. I flash him a smile and walk back up the stairs into the kitchen. I grab a paracetamol and pour a glass of water and drink it taking the pill.

I walk back up to my room and sit on my naked bed. I spot two envelopes on the bedside table. I pick up I the first one. It read:

Karrie,

Happy Birthday! We wanted to say this that next year we are going on tour. So none of us are going to be home. So we decided that you and Phoenix would stay with Bring me the horizon or come with us and we would prefer it if you came with us.

Love Brendon and Patrick.

I jumped up and down so much I woke Phoenix up. "Oh My God I get to go on tour with Panic and Fall Out Boy!" She smiles and nods. "I know." She replies. I let go of her and she walks into the bathroom. I sit back down on my bed. I grab my other letter and read it.

Dear Karrie,

I love you so much you have no idea. I would walk to Australia and back just to be with you. You have no idea, so I have written a short poem so I can say my feelings properly.

Karrie my heart flutters when I see you,

I know when my life begins and that's with you

I know why I do the things I do,

I have no idea how much you care to me,

and the person who is meant to be,

is in my heart and forever will be.

Karrie I hope this has proven my love to you, because you mean the world to me, but your underage so I thought I will wait.

So take this opportunity for one year to find out your true feelings and when your 18 I'll be waiting for you decision.

Patrick xxxx

I don't know how to respond to that letter so I wrote on back just as thoughtfully.

Dear Patrick,

I have taken your offer to an amount of consideration and I'm ready to give my decision.

Patrick I want to be with you,

I don't want no one else,

you are the reason I live,

not some random kid.

I know you mean well,

and I don't want to hurt you

but Patrick I love you

and I know you do to.

Love Karrie.

I re-read this over and over until I'm happy. Then I put it in an envelope and run up stairs with it to Patrick's room. I place it on his bedside table and walk back down. I then sit in the living room with Phoenix. "Hey, what are we watching?" I say to her. "Catfish, its amazing you need to watch it now!" I laugh "Amazing rally, how comes I've never heard of catfish if it is amazing, and I'm watching it now with you!" I say out smarting her for a change.

The boys come up from the basement. They was playing viedogames all day probably. And Patrick looked like he was on the verge of tears. "Patty you okay?" I asked. He nodded and walked up to his room.

Patrick's Pov.

I was crying actually, bout five minutes before we left the basement. They guys told m some stuff about relationships and how they work, then I was told that I could go to jail if anyone finds out bout me and Karrie. I didn't cry at this bit but I cried at the thought of having to wait for her, my love, the one who I love and the answer I'm gonna get back.

I saw the envelope on my table and saw on the front it had my name is very thick fancy letters, that's from Karrie! I instantly sparked up but then I realised it could be bad.

I read through it and I was smiling the whole way through. She is going to wait. I'm her choice. I send a quick text to Karrie saying Thanks so much for all you have done, I love you and see you in the morning xx.

Then I went to sleep.

Karrie's pov.

I got a text message and saw it was from Patrick. I quickly read it and replied with, No Problem, I always knew you'd be the one xxx.

That sounds so cheesy so I retyped it

No Problem, I will wait for you no matter what! Love you to and night xx

That sounds better.

I ate some toast then I snuggled up with Brendon and Phoenix. They was still watching Catfish which I now love so much thanks to them.

Then I felt darkness take over and fell asleep so quickly it was unreal.
