Turn Around - An Adopted By O2L Story

Chapter 15

Zoe Franta

I woke up and looked at the time. It was 11:42 a.m. Hopefully Connor is up. I still have to edit that video for today. I was supposed to post yesterday but I couldn't. I readjusted the shoulder brace and lied my head back. 

"Connor!" I called out. 

"One second." He said from what sounded like his room. 

I heard footsteps and the doorknob turned. Connor walked in and came over to where I slept last night. He smiled at me and looked at my brace. 

"Did it stay in the same spot all night?" He asked. 

"Sorta." I replied. "It only moved around a little."

"That's good. Are you hungry?" Connor asked me. 

"A little. Do we have any yogurt or ice cream?" I asked him. 

"I do know that we have both. Which one do you want?" 

"Yogurt." I replied, smiling. 

"Alright. I'll be right back. In a little bit I will help you up so you can be social." Connor said, going over to the door. 

"I don't wanna be social! I wanna edit my video for YouTube." I said, pouting. 

"Fine. I'll bring your laptop down too. Speaking of videos, we want to make a video with you about us adopting you." Connor said. 

"K. Thanks." I smiled. 

"No problem." Connor said, walking out of the room. 

I groaned, hating that I couldn't move. I tried to reach for my phone but couldn't. I just had to lay here until Connor came back up. I tried moving over slightly and reaching a little bit farther. I moved over a bit more and stretched my arm out, gripping onto my phone. Just then I felt my covers give out and then I fell onto the floor with a thud. I was basically a burrito on the floor with my blankets and phone. I unplugged it from the charger and unlocked it, going into messages. I had three messages from the group chat. 

E- Ugh I hate school so much. Can it not? It should go away. 
T- Agreed. I just wanna go home. I do in like 15 minutes. 
E- Good morning! I will be available to text from 11:30 to 12:30, aka 3rd period. Sub in L.A today who doesn't know what she's doing. She believes anything!

I laughed at the last text. Of course her class would do that to the poor sub. Oh well, it just means I can text her for an hour. After her fourth period, she gets a forty minute lunch so I'm also looking forward to that if I'm not editing. I decided to text her back. Connor still wasn't up here yet.

Z- Will do. You now have a texting partner! lmao
E- Yussss. 
Z- lmao. oh you guys can't come over this weekend.
E- Why? DID YOU DIE?
Z- If i died, do you seriously think I would be texting you right now? smh
E- No....
Z- That's what I thought. Anyways, I spent the whole day at the hospital yesterday getting surgery.
E- On your rib? This soon?
Z- Yep and it had to be done. The medication wasn't working anymore and apparently it could puncture my lung and make it collapse. 
E- Oh. That sucks. But hey, at least you'll be better!
Z- True. I'm on bed rest for two whole weeks. Btw are the videos up?
E- Zaaayyyummmm that sucks. And yep! they are both up. 
Z- Awesome. As soon as Connor comes to help me I will check them out. I am currently lying on the floor in a burrito blanket cause I couldn't reach my phone and Connor hasn't come back up yet. 
E- lmao well I have to go now. The teacher figured us out. text u at lunch. baiii!
Z- bai bae lmao

Connor finally came back up with my yogurt a few minutes later. I looked at him waiting for him to explain why he took like fifteen minutes for yogurt. 

"Sorry it took so long. The boys were... wait, why are you on the floor?" Connor asked me. 

"Cause the hard floor seemed better than my nice comfy, warm bed." I said sarcastically. 

"For real?" He asked. 

"I fell trying to grab my phone." I said, laughing. 

"Oh. Well come on. I'm carrying you downstairs." Connor said, trying to pick me up. 

"No. I have two legs! I can walk. It's simple, you put one foot in front of the other, and soon you'll be walking out the door!" I sang. 

"Nice Joey Graceffa wisdom teeth quote that he took from somewhere. Now come on, you need to have social interaction." Connor said. 

"That's why I have all of your numbers, so I can text you." I said. 

"If you don't let me bring you downstairs then we are all coming up here." Connor said, crossing his arms.

"Fine, but I want my bed and laptop and I need the camera memory card thing so I can edit my video. My yogurt too." I said. 

"Fine. I'm getting the boys." Connor said, walking out of my room. 

"Help onto my bed?" I called out. 

No reply. Ugh, I hate this stupid floor. A few boring minutes later, I heard my door open and Ricky, Kian, Connor, Jc, and one other guy came in. I feel like I've seen him before. It was the cheeks that looked similar. 

"Sam right?" I asked to make sure. 

"Yep. I've heard about you." He said, smirking. 

"Like what?" I asked. 

"Like how you said you thought I was cute at the adoption center with your friend." He replied.

"Yeah, I did. Fetus pictures though." I said, laughing as his face dropped. 

"Whatever." Sam said, laughing a little. 

"Now, why are there so many humans in my room?" I asked. 

"Cause you wouldn't come downstairs." Connor said. 

"You abandoned me on the floor." I shot back. 

"Oops?" He said, more like a question. 

"Rude and disrespectful. Now I want my nice bed." I said. 

Connor picked me up and carried me up the few stairs and placed me on my bed. Sam joined me while Kian and Jc were on the bottom bed. Ricky found his way up to the top part of the bunk bed. Connor joined him. 

"Sam, could you hand me my laptop?" I asked. 

"Yeah. Here." He said, handing it to me. 

"Thanks." I said, pulling my one arm out of the burrito I was still in and opening the lid of the lap top. 

I looked at my phone as it vibrated. Oh crap, Brittney! I quickly unlocked my phone and clicked on the text messages, opening the one with Brittney.

Z- Hey. I'm so sorry about not being able to meet up yesterday. I was in the hospital all day getting surgery. I am on bed rest for two weeks, but hopefully I can meet up with you after that. 
B- It's fine! I actually went up to Disneyland yesterday. 
Z- Lucky! And good. I'll keep you updated on my progress. 
B- Sounds good. 

Okay, now that I fixed that, I can now start on getting my computer organized. I set a password on the computer that was asdfghjkl; and I loved it. For just in case you didn't know what that was, it is the middle row on your keyboard. I then went onto the internet and onto YouTube. I clicked on the 'My Channel' option and saw the two videos that were posted. 

Here goes nothing, I thought as I clicked on the very first video ever posted on our brand new YouTube channel.
