✔ Cry Little Sister

Chapter Fifteen

'Get off me!' i screamed, trying to get out of Adam's grip. If he was so repulsed by me then why was he even touching me? Why was he apologising to me? Why did he even care enough to say sorry? he didn't care about me so why bother?

'Megz, I'm sorry'. He repeated. Hearing the genuine sorrow in his voice, I crumbled in his arms and started sobbing.

He held me until I could walk properly and took me back to his room and kept me away from other guys. Adam didn't want to risk the guys seeing us, so took me to his bedroom.

I sat down on the bed and looked at him as he leaned against the closed door, with his arms folded over his chest.

'What?' He shook his head. 'Adam...?'

'Yeah?'

'Did you mean what you said?' He looked away and sighed, Pushing himself off the door and came over to sit next to me on the bed.

'No. I didn't. Just... In front of the guys, I didn't know...'

'Didn't know what?' He looked at me, Like, Seriously looked at me, staring into my eyes.

'I didn't know how to react or respond. I'm new to this'. I scoffed and looked away.

'Yeah, you ARE new to being nice to me'. His comment put a bad taste in my mouth. Since when did it become such a challenge to be nice to someone? Well, for someone like Adam, I can imagine it would be a rather difficult one.

'That's not what I meant!'. I just nodded.

'Sure'.

'Why are you being like this?' I looked at him, was he serious?

'Really?!'

'Yeah'.

'After everything you've done to me, you're seriously asking that question?!' Realisation washed over his face and he looked away from me. 'Yeah, exactly'.

We sat in silence for a little while, I didn't know what to say, and it was clear he didn't either, but I didn't have anywhere to go. I couldn't go back to my room in case Beckett and Lewis were in there, but what if they came back here?

Fuck sake, I hate this so much!

'Megan, Look, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry'. I looked at him, really examining his face, looking for a hint of a lie... but I didn't find any. He was telling the truth.. he was sorry.

I just nodded.

'Do you mind if I go and have a shower?' He shook his head and I headed to the bathroom.

'You can stay here tonight if it makes you feel more comfortable?'

'Thank you... are you staying in here with me?' I wasn't sure how I felt about the idea, but he shook his head again.

'No, I'll crash on the sofa'.

'What about Beckett?'

'Don't worry, I'll text him and tell him to crash with Lewis tonight'. I smiled at him. That would cause a few issues, and he knew it, but the fact he was willing to do that, meant a lot to me. I really didn't want to go back to that room, and I didn't trust Lewis anymore.

But did I trust Adam?

I climbed into the shower, washed myself and climbed back out again. When I did, i noticed one of Adams shirts on top of a towel on the side. I smiled.

I wasn't even mad that he had come in while I was in the shower, It was nice that he even thought about bringing me something to put on... especially since I was stupid enough to have forgotten!

I dried myself off, pulled the shirt on and left the bathroom again. Adam was sat on the end of the bed, fiddling around, typing on his phone.

'Hey, Thanks for the shirt'. He looked up and smiled.

'No problems, i've messaged Beck, He wont be home tonight, and even if he tries to sneak in, I'll be on the sofa, so you have nothing to worry about'.

'Thank you'. He just nodded his head and got to his feet. 'Sweet dreams'.

And with nothing more than that, He pulled the door open and left, closing it behind himself..
