Bent (Merome)

Chapter 12

My mouth gaped.

“H- Wha- Y- Adam?!”

He bit his-my-lip.

“So... You know how you said you wished for Jerome to fall in love with you?”

I nodded hesitantly.

“Well... Two things. One, you must have turned into a girl because he's straight, so you'd have a chance with him. Two, I...” He stopped.

“You...?”

He sighed.

“I wished I could help you in any way I could. The next day I woke up like this.”

I ran my hand through my hair.

“Fuck, Adam, you didn't have to do that. Now you're...”

Adam shook his head.

“No. Mitch, trust me.”

It was weird to hear my name come out of my own voice.

“Adam, how- how can you be so calm about this?!”

He smiled.

“You turned into a girl. This is on the same level. Now trust me.”

I shook my head.

“Adam. Listen to me. This... I don't even know. But it's just going to get so complicated if we do this! Why did you wish that?! I'm gonna have to be with you all the time, so I know what you say. And you can't date Ty! And I can't-”

Adam tilted his head.

“You can't-?”

I shook my head.

“Whatever. Either way, this... Ugh. I...” I shook my head again. “I'm sorry for getting pissed at you. I'm just... I'm just really sick of this, to be honest.” I hadn't realized how much this whole ordeal was wearing me down. Adam just smiled at me.

“I just wanted to help you. You just have to trust me.”

I narrowed my eyes at him.

“What do you know that I don't?”

“Nothing.”

There was something he wasn't telling me.

“Whatever. The guys are gonna be back later today. You've gotta be ready for them.” I sighed again. “...Adam... Why...”

He looked at me, curiosity in his eyes.

“Why- You... You care too much.”

“What?” He laughed.

“If you hadn't wished that...”

“I know. But I had to help you. I couldn't just... Do nothing. Plus, I-” He cut himself off. I tried to ignore his attempts to keep information from me.

“Well... Thank you. I still can't believe you took a huge risk to help me out. It... Yeah. Thank you.”

A look flashed across Adam's face, then was gone.

“Yeah. No problem, man.”

I laughed.

“You say no problem, but I'm here looking at myself.”

He smiled.

“Trust me.”

I was getting sick of him saying that.

It was almost nine when the guys finally got home.

“AH! We're finally home! It took like the whole day, huh?” Jerome called.

“Yeah! You guys were gone forever! Oh, by the way.”

I waited until everyone was inside. They were all carrying at least two grocery bags apiece.

“Guess who's back!”

Jerome looked up. I melted at the hopeful expression on his face.

“What's up, guys?” Adam-Mitch-called, bounding down the stairs. “I'm baaack!”

Jerome dropped his bag on the kitchen floor. He opened his arms, inviting Adamitch into them. I couldn't help but frown. I wish that was me.

Yay! Another upload today! I felt like the last one was super short, so I hope this satisfies. 

I had no idea whether to call the Adam Mitch thing Adam or Mitch, so I'm just gonna call him Adam from now on. Try not to get confused ;)

Oh yeah, and I feel obliged to thank @ScarlettSlaysSquids. I honestly had no idea what I was gonna do with Adamitch, I didn't know how to explain how he'd gotten changed, and I didn't know where he was gonna play. But her comment kinda opened a little canal in my brain, leading me to some ideas. Thnx bby :P 

Yay
