Adopted by Connor Franta (Book 1)

Chapter 18: California

"She's fine, Trevor."

"And what if she isn't?"

"Trevor, she is fine."

"Why aren't you as worried about this as me? I mean you are her father after all!"

"I have been through 2 of these within one week of having her. One of them was caused by you. So I would like it if you would SHUT THE HELL UP!!"

I heard all of those things, but pretended like I didn't. They thought I was sleeping. For one thing, Connor seemed upset and I didn't want to jump into anything that I just needed to keep my mouth shut on. Also, Trevor sounded pretty worried so maybe I should open my eyes. Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do.

"Trev...dad..." I opened my eyes and instantly regretted it when the sun was all in my eyes! I slowly looked around and noticed I was still in Trevor's arms.

"Kay? Omg gurl you scared me so bad." I heard Connor say, but I couldn't see where he was.

"Sass!" Trevor said and kissed my forehead. I smiled and he helped me sit up.

I was stunned to see that I was sitting on Trevor's lap in a car. Ricky was driving and Connor was sitting next to me and Trev in the backseat. Trevor was sitting in the middle. Jc was in the passenger seat.

"Would you like to sit on the seat..or.." Connor asked. He sounded a little agitated.

"Uhhh..I'm comfortable here..." I mumbled.

"What was that?" Connor asked.

"Ohh nothing..." I looked up at Trevor, who was blushing.

"You heard that?" I whispered softly in Trevor's ear.

Trevor's POV-

Okay so Katie just woke up. She had passed out in my arms in the middle of the airport. I managed to keep myself together. It was one of the most scariest things EVER!

Connor was acting all cool about it which made me angry. I mean HIS daughter is like passed out in MY arms, and all HE is cared about is leaving the airport and heading to the house. Like um hello earth to Connor Franta!

I didn't mind holding her though. And then I heard Connor.

"Would you like to sit on the seat..or.." Connor asked Katie.

"Uhhh..I'm comfortable here.." I heard Katie mumble really low.

"What was that?" Connor asked skeptically.

"Oh nothing." She responded.

I couldn't help but blush. I guess she realized I was blushing because she whispered softly in my ear,

"You heard that?"

"Yeah..I did." I responded by whispering in her ear.

"That wasn't meant for anyone to hear."

"Well too late for that, sweetie"

She just smiled and chuckled. Which only made me laugh! She eventually moved to the seat.

Katie's POV:

I took in the view out the window. California is beautiful! The people look happy, the sun is beaming bright, the trees are swaying to the tune of the breeze, and the waves were crashing against the beach. How can you not just admire the view? YOU CAN'T!!!

"We are here!" Jc shouted.

"Ready, Katie?" Ricky asked pulling up to a house.

"Mhmm." I nodded. Ricky stopped the car and we all got out.

I scrambled to the door following the others. Ricky unlocked the door and turned to me.

"So this is my house. Kian and Jc live together in another house. Connor has an apartment you two will be staying at. Trevor bounces around from mine to Kian's house to his parents and sometimes, when Connor is here, Connor's apartment. I just thought I would let you know."

"Okay cool. But I knew just about all you just said. Remember, I watched all of you." I say and smile.

"I know but it was kinda like a refresher since you've had a lot going on." He says pushing open the door. "So, you want a house tour?"

"Of course!!" He grabs my hand and pulls me in.

"This is the living room. It's pretty messy I know." Ricky says and points at several things on the wall.

*****

Ricky showed me everything. Literally EVERYTHING! He showed me his toothbrush. He even showed me the different lenses he uses for his camera for different videos he films!

I didn't mind. I was happy to be bere. And honestly, I feel bad for being mad at him. I know, I know, I know, he did cause my last attack at the airport but frankly it wasn't his fault I got so worked up and stuff about the while situation. I mean looking back at it now, it was pretty childish. Maybe...I don't know.

We were about to go eat, so I decided to take a shower. Ricky let me use his since we weren't going to Connor's apartment until after we ate.

I showered and blow dried my hair and brushed it out. I put on my tan high-low tank top that said 'I live to dream' and some faded blue jean shorts.

I applied my mascara and put on my snap back from Connor. I, lastly, put on my sandals and checked my appearance in the mirror. I thought I didn't look like something that just crawled out of a sewer. So I quickly smiled at my reflection and turned off the lights.

I walked down Ricky's stairs and saw all of the boys on their phones. All of the boys meaning Trevor, Connor, Ricky, Jc, Kian, and a boy I haven't officially met yet, Sam.

I walked in and everyone set their phones down.

"Well someone looks nice." Ricky said.

"Mhmm!! I love the snap back." Connor added.

"What a great first impression!" Sam exclaimed.

"Look at my littlest sister rock that snap back!" Kian said laughing.

"Aww. She looks so grown-up!!" Jc added wiping away fake tears.

"You look gorgeous." Trevor mumbled staring me up and down with a smile.

I smiled at all of them and walked over to Sam.

"Hey Sam. I am Katie."

"I know who you are. I mean I've heard from you and tweeted you a few times." He said standing up and hugging me. All of the boys stood up.

"Well yeah I guess." I said and released the hug.

"Leggo!!" Connor yelled racing to the door. Everyone ran to the door trying to get to the cars first. I locked up the house since Ricky raced with the others and left the keys on the couch.

"Hey Kay, your riding in Kian's car this time." Connor yelled through the window of Ricky's car.

"O-okay" I replied with a fake smile. I brought Ricky his keys and made my way to Kian's car. I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. I don't know how to describe it.

In Ricky's car there was Connor, Ricky, Jc, and Trevor. In Kian's car it was me, Kian, and Sam.

I swung the door swung open and hopped in. I had a feeling this ride was going to be awkward. So, I just pulled my phone out and scrolled through Instagram.

"We're going to this pizza place that has an arcade." Sam yelled over the music from the passenger seat.

I nodded my head and smiled. It was really awkward. No one talked. No one sang. No one really even moved. We were all silent. We were all just listening to the music and taking in the silentness.
