Adopted by o2l?

Chapter 10

Still Sam's POV

'Dont be ashamed of your story. It will inspire others.'

Everything was bright when I first opened my eyes. I let my eyes adjust and then I finally said something.

"W-where am I?"

"Sir youre in the hospital"

"O-oh"

The nurse checked everything and then told me she would be back in a hour to check on me again. I knew that Alex was gonna talk to me about what happened. Its just the fact of if I really want to tell her the truth or not.

If you tell her then she's just going to leave you. She'll think that your some suicidal dick.

Well that didn't help. I thought for a moment. If i tell her then maybe she'll tell me big stuff about her. This could be a time to get to know each other better and get closer. Okay I'm going to tell her. Now just the fact of when she's going to ask me about it. And as if right on cue,

"Sam..."

My breath hitched and then I let out a sigh.

"Alex"

"What happened? What's wrong? You dont have to tell me everything but it would be nice to know."

"I'll tell you everything. I promise. But first you have to make a promise to me."

"Okay"

Alex's POV

'You can't change the truth, but the truth can change you.'

When Sam woke up I knew I had to ask him what happened. But I really dont know if its a good idea. But this is a chance to find out more about him. To get closer. To become good friends before we ever become anything else.

'Well here goes nothing'

"Sam...."

"Alex"

He wants me to promise him something....

"Promise me that you won't think bad of me in any way after I tell you this. Im telling you because I haven't told anyone else. Except one person, but they weren't supposed to know. I haven't even told Kian. I'm trusting you with this huge secret. Promise me not to leave me, promise me that you won't tell."

"I promise Sam. I promise."

And with that, he told me everything. I was amazed. Someone like him wouldn't seem to have such a big background but his, his is huge.

"Alex, can you tell me why you were in an adoption center. and why no one ever adopted you?"

My story isnt even bad. It makes me feel bad that he has a huge history and I dont. I feel like it won't equal out. Oh well.

"My story isnt as bad. But really all that happened was my mom got pregnant with me and my dad didn't want anything to do with me so he left before I was even born. My mom almost had an abortion but luckily she didn't."

I took a deep breathe and then continued.

"She tried to raise me, but couldn't after I turned 9. Something about how 'I was getting too expensive' when actually she was an alcoholic and wasted all her money. No one ever wanted to adopt me because I wouldn't go anywhere without Sarah. Some people actually did adopt me but always brought me back."

It was silent after that. Sam looked like he was thinking and I stayed silent because although I told the truth, I didn't tell him about a certain part. I really should.

"My mom didn't want to give me up. Mostly because she abused me. Not badly, but I guess bad enough. She only did when she was drunk. Authority took me away"

"Alex... I'm so sorry..."

"It's fine. She was arrested and all. She doesn't even live here. She lives in a town some 5 hours away because the authority didn't want her finding me. So they brought me far away."

"Oh"

Its hard to explain the feelings in this little hospital room. There could be love floating around somewhere. There could be confusion. There could be trust. God only knows what another person is thinking.

Right here at this moment, I wish I could read minds. I just want to know what Sam's thinking about. I mean, he just told me his biggest secret, and I told him mine, kinda.

*the next day*

The doctor had told Sam that he could go home. I was told I could go home from the beginning, but I wanted to stay with Sam.

Kian came to pick us up. I guess Ricky is still mad at me or something. This should be fun.

*at o2l house*

When we walked in, you could immediately tell that the whole house was full of tension.

'What the hell happened here'

That's when everything came clear and hell broke loose.
