Chapter 16

I met Adam about five years ago on twitch. His YouTube wasn't as big then and he only had a couple thousand followers then. I would watch him every time he streamed but I would never say anything in chat. He knew I was the because every month he would get a notification that I had subscribed. I had watched his streams for about nine months, then he private messages me that he would like to talk to me over skype. I put it off a long as I could but eventually he realized I was stalling. At that time, I had a hard time trusting people. I had caught my boyfriend of 9 months cheating on me and I had also been sent back to the orphanage by a family because they had saw my journal. I finally agrees to meet him over skype. It was a sudden thing and I had forgotten to put a hoodie on to over my arms. About half way through the skype call, I reach to get a bottle of water that was sitting behind my laptop and that's when he saw my scars. I don't know why but I trusted him enough to tell him. I told him about living in an orphanage and my boyfriend cheating on me. From then on out he was always there for me when I was going through a rough time or just needed someone to talk to.

"ADAM!!!" I scream before running to him and giving him a hug.
"Hey Kaitie. Haven't seen you in a while." He says hugging me back.
"I know what's it been? Nearly a year?" I reply pulling back and walking over to James.
"Yep. So is this the famous James that I've been hearing about?" Adam asks James.
"I don't know. Depends on what she's been telling you." James says and I laugh.
"She hasn't said anything bad... Yet" Adam says grinning.
"Then yes, I am James."
"You had better treat her good. The last guy that wronged her didn't walk for a while." Adam tells James making him a little nervous.
"Don't worry, he won't be the only one kicking you ass if you wrong her." I hear Tom says.
"Ok enough with the threats. I'm 18 now so where is the fireball?" I ask making Tom and Adam laugh. Tom begins walking down to the basement and we follow.
"Has she always been like this?" I hear from behind me.
"It use to be worse. She would sneak alc..." Adam begins but I cut him off.
"ADAM. That can be saved for another time." I say, giving him one of my shut-the-fuck-up-or-your-dead glares.
We continue down the stairs and when we get down there, the first thing I see is Tom handing me a fireball shot.
"Let's see if you can take a shot better than me." Tom says with a daring look on his face. I grin before accepting the shot. I threw it back and as the liquid burned down my throat, my smile never faded. I laughed when Tom made a face as he threw back his shot.
"Damn, Tom, I think she's got you beat already." Some one said.
The music got turned on and the party was in full swing. We ended up moving to the pool where James pushed me in and I ended up dragging him in with me. Alice had gotten me a new skate board while everyone else had went together to buy a music recording set up.
As everything started to settle down(or people started to pass out) James pulled me into the theater and closed the door. It was dark and from what I could tell there was no one else in here.
"Jo", he said.
"Yeah, James."
"I love you," he said and before I could reply, he pulled me closer and captured my lips with his. I wrapped my arms behind his neck. His arms found there way around my waist and he pulled me down into one of the couches without breaking our kissing. I sat straddling his lap, I could feel the bulge in his pants when I bit his lip. My hands tangled in his hair as his kisses moved from my mouth down to my neck. He started to suck at the base of my neck, nipping every so often. His teeth grazes over my collarbone to the other side of my neck where he did the same as the other side. His hands trailed down to the hem of my shirt and he started to pull it off. I stopped him.
"James not tonight. There's to many people here and I'd rather loose it in a bed." I tell James, he pouts but nods understanding my reasoning. He laid down on the couch and pulled me with him, wrapping his arm around me to cuddle. I drifted off to sleep listening to the steady beat off his heart.
