The Fun In Life : Adopted by Corey Scherer

An Appearance From Vlogger B

*Rory*

I woke up the next morning feeling so warm. It's honestly the best feeling ever right now. Why? I slowly open my eyes to see brown hair and two arms around me. I look up to see Colby. Wait Colby?! I slowly backed away from his grip and he started to stir. Then it all came back to me. I got out of bed and walked downstairs to the kitchen.

"Morning." I said to Sam and Kat as I sat down at the island.

"It's noon, you know." Sam laughs. I check my phone and see that he was right.

"Oh..." That's weird. I'm normally up way earlier than that.

"Hey guys." I heard what sounded like Colby says as he walked down the stairs. I looked over to see him not wearing a shirt. Was he like that last night?

"Dude where were you this morning? I was going to wake you up to see if you wanted to shoot a video, but you weren't in your room." Sam asks Colby confused. I gave Colby a pleading look.

"I must've been in the bathroom." He shrugged. I mentally thanked him. Sam nodded and said that him and Kat were going to a photo shoot so soon left.

"Thank you." I said to him. He nods and grabs some orange juice rom the fridge.

"I just want to know a few things." He told me, grabbing a cup and starting to fill it up.

"Which are..."

"What were you dreaming about?" He asked, sitting down next to me. I let out a sigh.

"Do you want the long story?" I asked, looking up at him. He looked down at my hands and nodded. I let out another sigh. "My mom was a Russian immigrant." I start off. He looks a little taken aback. "She married my dad, so she could stay in the states. What she didn't tell him was that she was already married. Once he found out, he broke. I saw my mom tied to a chair as he beat her. He killed her. Then himself." I stare at the counter top the whole time. "After that, I had to live with my sister-since she was old enough. She'd called me names. She'd hit me. She'd say it was... m-my fault." I didn't know I was crying until he wipped my-probably-tear stained cheeks. I had a full break down.

"None of it was true." He said as he held my head in his hands, making me look up at him. He kissed both of my cheeks making me feel warm inside-like when I woke up.

"After the cops caught on, I was sent to the orphanage. I've been tossed from house to house. After someone found out about my eating disorder, or nightmares, they'd kick me out. Say I'm too much of a handful." I mumbled, looking away from his electric blue eyes.

"I can promise you one thing Rory, we will never give you up. No matter how bad it all gets for you, we're going to help you with it. And even if the thought of that comes to anyone's mind, I'm never going to let them." He said to me in a broken voice.

"Just don't... don't tell anyone else." I whispered to him. He looks at me confused but nods.

"Now, I promised I'd help you through with everything. What do you want for breakfast? You can have as little as a granola bar." He said sternly. I nodded and he brought me a granola bar. He watched me to make sure I ate as much as I could. I ate half of it until I saw how much I ate and became disgusted. I pushed it away from me and he frowned.

"I'm sorry." I said, barely above a whisper.

"It's okay. At least you're trying." He says while giving me a sympathetic look. He took the rest of it and threw it away. "So, what do you want to do today?" Colby asked me. I thought for a minute.

"Maybe finish painting my room? Or maybe I could make a video." I shrugged.

"You're going to start a channel?" He asked me with a smile.
