5SOS Adopted Me?

Six: Fear

MADISON'S POV

Fear is something that everyone has. Even if they don't admit it. If you think you're not scared of anything you are. You're probably just scared of fear itself. Or scared of yourself. Fear is never a reason to give up, it's a reason to try harder.

It's only an obstacle but some of us have more fears than others. But whatever your fear is you are never alone. There's always someone with the same fear as you. If you're supposed to overcome your fears than why is it so hard? Fear only blocks your way because on the other side is something that was worth it. Start small. That's exactly what I'm about to do.

It's thunder and lightning outside and lets just say I'm terrified of what I'm about to do. I mean I hate it, absolutely hate it. But fear is just an obstacle in life. I'm afraid of a lot of things. I also discovered its didn't that I didn't want to trust, it's that I was scared to trust someone. So I'm going to try to trust people. I'm also going outside in this stupid lightning because I'm an idiot.

"Maddie are you sure you want to do this?" Calum asks. They all look nervous for me. They're starting to sweat. Why are they nervous? It's not them that's going outside. "Yea Mads do you really want to?" Ashton asks and I flinch at the use of the name 'Mads' simply because I'm not one for nicknames unless it's Maddie. I don't correct Ash though. I simply nod and pull my hood over.
I reach for the mob and give them a small wave as I go out the back door and walk around. This isn't so bad.

Lightning strikes and I count one second before the thunder. One mile away. I sit outside for another good hour just playing in the rain, it's honestly not that bad anymore. Then lighting strikes again and it's only two miles away. I'm okay with it now, it hits the tallest thing around, right?

I shrug and spin around in the rain. I mean, I'm wearing one of the boys sweatshirts and it's way too long on me, I slip and fall into the mud and laugh at myself and don't bother putting my hood back on. The boys haven't checked on me in a while. They probably realized I was fine dancing around in the rain.

Lightning strikes at the same time as thunder and before I realize it, a tree is falling towards me fast and I drop to a ball on the ground and shut my eyes. The impact doesn't come and I open my eyes to see a tree right about my head and my eyes bulge out of my head. I slowly crawl from under the tree and run inside the house. That's enough for today.

I bump into someone when I try to run past the kitchen and see Ashton. "What happened?" he asks look of concern in his eyes. The other boys crowd around us as I hug him and cry into his shoulder.

"Outside- lightning- tree- under." I sniffle and he just pats my back. "A tree fell on you? Did it hurt you?" I shake my head and cry more into his shoulder. "You're brave ya know? I would never face lightning like that. It's terrifying." Michael says and I look up at him.

"You're afraid of storms too?" I sniffle and Michael nods sheepishly. I get up and wrap my arms around him. It takes him a minute to hug back because of shock but he embraces me and I mumble into his chest, "You're gonna be okay." I don't know why I'm reassuring him but I just do it.

"Why don't we all go watch some movies?" someone suggest and we pick out a few movies to watch for the day. We start with 'Mean Girls' some movie that we had but I never watched. It turns out to be pretty funny and I'm laughing along with the boys. Next we decide on 'She's the man' and I laugh when she takes her brothers place. Something I wouldn't do for sure. We watch a few more movies before I fall asleep on Luke while he plays with my hair.

•••

I wakeup on Luke with my legs on Ashton and Mikey is snuggled on the floor. I take out my phone and take a picture of that and wonder where Calum could be. It seems as though I wakeup in a new place every morning here though. I hear humming in the kitchen and get on keek to take a video.

"I wokeup with the rest of the boys but Calum's in the kitchen I think. I'm gonna act like I'm not recording him but let's go," I say sneaking into the kitchen and scream running away. I got Calum naked on camera. I didn't need to see that but luckily he didn't turn around until I screamed so I only saw his butt. The counter blocked anything else. I post the video and see I already have 500,000 followers on keek. I'm shocked.

I post the picture on instagram and see I have 600,000 on instagram. Well people found this fast. The boys still don't know though. The boys are all questioning if I'm alright but I just nod and go to explain, "Calum was naked in the kitchen." the boys rush to calum to yell at him and I realize one more thing.

I fear seeing that again.
