TW: MENTIONS OF SA

we walked further into the house, the air thick and everyone on the verge of pissing their pants. i was a bit skeptical about corey still coming along because he was clearly uncomfortable but he wanted to do it.

"alright, so as most of you know me and sof moved to the us but before we moved we came here often and referred to it as 'the og house' because we have no idea why its haunted or why its abandoned because no ghost would tell us. but today i'm seeing some ghosts that i haven't seen before." i explained to the camera.

"mads do you see ghost everywhere or just places that are haunted?" sam asked. god there goes the butterflies again. i can't keep this up i need to stop. sof elbowed me and i realised that i was staring yet again.

"i normally just see them at haunted locations but there has been a few times that i've just seen them chilling around in random places" i don't know how but i managed to squeak that sentence out. sofia gave me a look of 'what the fuck is up' but i acted like i didn't see it.

"madelyn can i talk to you?" she said in a stern voice "privately" then without giving me a chance to respond she dragged me out of the house leaving the boys and the camera inside. "dude what the fuck is up with you?"

"i- what do you mean?" i stuttered out of fear

"don't 'what do you mean' me you know exactly what i mean" i stared at her utterly confused "do you have a little thing for sam or something because you keep staring, you blush when he talks to you or even looks at you and you're just acting weird. so either fess up or i won't keep defending you because we are best friends an we need to stick together and not hid secrets" i didn't know what to say. i kinda just stared at her trying to think of what to say. do i like sam? is it a crush? is it more then a crush?

"i- i'm not sure. i mean he's attractive and super kind but i've only know him for like a week so i don't know if its too soon or not" i respond in true honesty. she just stared at me waiting for more "i mean i know i have a crush on him but i'm not sure if its love- i think it is but is it too so-" i heard a creak come from the house so i looked over and saw the person i wanted to see least in this very moment. "oh my fucking god" i cursed under my breathe "hey sam how are you?" i said in a very unconvincing tone. way to fucking blow it madelyn every chance you had with the guy just flew out the window. "how much of that did you hear?" i laughed nervously.

"enough to know that our feelings a mutual" he said with full confidence. wait what? i thought he would hate me. maybe he actually likes me. "i know you probably didn't want me to hear that but i did. let's talk." shit. "in private" he said to sof who got the memo and went inside to everyone else.

"look i know you probably don't feel the same way but you heard what i said so i might as well go full out now." i took a deep breathe before continuing "when i saw you up in the tower at the beach after getting a good look at you, i saw how handsome you are. the way your hair fell so perfectly on your head, you beautiful blue eyes, everything about you even your smile and personality. i know i'm just some girl from Australia who happened to save you but i'm nothing special so don't feel like you have to feel the same way."

"okay first of all, you are not just some girl from Australia. hell being from Australia is fucking awesome but you talk so lowly about your self. you need to realise how unique you are" what is he getting at? "and you sure as hell didn't just happen to save me. without you i wouldn't be standing here right now. you need to realise that you are beautiful inside and out and if someone says otherwise they are clearly blind" oh god there goes the butterflies. "everything about you is fucking perfect madelyn, perfect. and you need to open your eyes and realise that. the moment i saw you i could see that beauty and i knew i wanted to make you mine."

"sam you are so sweet but please don't lie to make me feel better" i said. i feel like i'm putting him under pressure to say all this kind stuff about me.

"no mads you don't understand, nothing that i'm saying right now is a lie. it's all coming from the heart so please tell me, what is making you think i'm lying?" god he really is the whole package.

"um shit i guess i should probably say this but when i first moved to LA i was used by my ex, for clout and his personal needs. he touched me when i didn't want him to, he SA me on multiple occasions and told me all the stuff he did was okay and normal for couples our age to do and because i was young and in love i believed him. he made me basically live with him and didn't let me talk to sofia or ben at all. he made me feel like shit and constantly tell me how fat i am and that i need to lay off on the burgers. after being with him for 6 months i realised how unhealthy it was so i eventually got out of that shit hole. it took me a little while to recover but i got there. sometimes it still gets to me though" i explained with tears running down my check. i looked up at sam and he had a look on his face like he knew what it was like to go through something like that.

"i totally understand what its like to be in a toxic relationship seeing as i just got out of one" he said. he then pulled me in for a hug. when he pulled away he grabbed my chin to make me look up at him. i got massive butterflies. i'm pretty short being only 5'0 and i think he's about 5'10 so we have a big hight difference. "this probably isn't the right time to say this but i have to i can't not say it. madelyn, can i be your boyfriend?"

i almost crumbled to the ground. a massive smile grew across my face "i would love to but only if i can be your girlfriend"

a smile grew across his face "of course. can i kiss you?" this boy really is everything. i nodded and he pulled me in for the best kiss of my life. i heard clapping from behind us so i pulled away to see who it was. standing at the door of the house i saw the whole group and sofia holding her phone which i assume she was recording on. i blushed and sam just laughed and pulled me into a hug. 

"that fucking made me cry" sofia said, sniffling a bit and everyone just laughed.
