The youngest Mcadoo - part 2

Sarah POV:

As the months pass by I have slowly healed from the trauma and the fear I had felt at first after getting free from my now ex. But in that time my two boys never left me unattended when out of the house, just in case he tried something. Which while heart warming and understanding it was a tad bit annoying, sometimes I just want to go to the drive through and grab something but they have to come. I felt like I was a kid and they were my parents. But other then that I had gotten even closer to Adam, and what scared me more then anything is that I had found myself falling for him. It scared me because I didn't want to do something and ruin our friendship, and I know Cameron will be even more protective and hovering over me even if it was Adam that I was seeing. And honestly he most likely didn't even see me that way, I was his best friend, one of the guys, probably like a sister to him at this point. As time continues to go on I fall into a depression, because I was trying so hard to keep myself in check that I couldn't be myself. I became closed off, and quiet and I know that made them worry about me. And I hated that, hated to make them worry but I had no one to talk to about how to get over this, but I wasn't even sure I did. Part of me wanted to pull away and keep everything hidden but the other part wanted to just walk up to him and kiss the life out of him. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear the devil himself walk into the kitchen and watch me absent minded continue to make dinner. He frowned when he noticed that I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't even notice him. He walked up and leaned on the counter next to me making me jump and look at him wide eyed and I stutter,

"Adam, what are you doing here? I didn't know you were coming over."

He just looked at me for a second before running a hair through his hair with a sigh,

"Sarah what has happened between us? What have I done to make you pull away from me? Because whatever I did I'm sorry, I just want my girl back."

My heart hurt as I listen to him apologize for something that wasn't on him. I shake my head and whisper,

"You didn't do anything Adam. I promise, you have been nothing but amazing to me."

He looks at me in confusion and asks,

"Than what's going on? You know you can tell me anything right?"

I felt tears weld up in my eyes as I wrap my arms around me and shakily say,

"If I told you it would change everything. If I told you it could ruin everything. Are you sure you still want to know?"

He nods his head looking worried and I take in a shakily breath and say,

"I've fallen hard for my best friend, and I'm scared shitless it will ruin everything, I'm scared of opening myself up after everything. I'm scared that on the small chance you feel the same it would end and I'd lose you forever. I'm terrified."

I feel myself start to shake as the tears start to fall down my face. I braced myself for the rejection I know I was going to face. But it was just silent, so quiet that I could have been by myself even though I know I wasn't. But right as I was about to dart up to my room I felt hands on my arms. He opened my arms up and lightly tugged me into his arms, hugging me tightly into his chest. I fought so hard to keep myself from melting into him, form tilting my head up and kissing him. But he moved his left hand from my shoulders and up to my face, tilting it so we were eye to eye. He used his thumb to wipe some tears from my face before he leaned down and kissed me. My eyes went wide before I lost the fight and melted into him completely. It was a sweet and slow kiss, the kind of kiss that just makes you forget everything else in the world, that makes you feel like your floating. We both were so lost in our moment that we didn't hear Cameron walk in till he yelled,

"What the fuck is going on here?"

We both jumped back from each other and looked at him in shock and fear. I look at my brother and see he was pissed, and I couldn't help but feel fear as images start flashing before my eyes. I start backing up slowly till my back hit the wall and I put my arms around my head in a form of protection. As I slide down the wall and into a ball the boys notice what I was doing and their hearts broke. Cameron came and knelt down in front of me and reached out to touch my shoulder only for me to flinch back and whimper in pure terror. Making him freeze before pulling back and looking at Adam in a lost of what to do. Adam kneels down next to him and lowly says,

"Sarah, it's ok. It's just us and we won't ever hurt you ok? Just look at me, look at me and see who's here and who's not."

After a few seconds I finally get the guts to look up and I see it's my brother and best friend looking at me, and no one else was here. I tell myself I'm safe, and that they will not hurt me. I look over at Adam and slowly uncurl myself and bite my lip. He opens his arms and I all but leap into them, clinging to him desperately.  I have no idea how long we all sit there on the floor but it had to have been awhile since my legs were going numb. I pull away a bit and turn my body so I was still in his arms but facing my brother to see him watching me with guilt filled eyes. I give him a small smile and say,

"Cam, it's not your fault ok? You walked in on that and was freaked out. I would be too. So don't feel guilty ok?"

He sighs and nods his head and asnwers,

"I know, I still feel bad so I am sorry. But what is happening here between you guys? Is this new or something you have been hiding from me?"

I quickly reply,

"No! It was the first time, and Adam hasn't hid anything, but I have about I how I have fallen for him. He just finally asked me point blank and I told him and that was the end result. Please don't be mad Cam, please. You can at me but not him."

His face softens and he runs a hand over his face and quietly says,

"I'm not mad, things happen like this out of our control. But that doesn't mean I like it. I just don't want you to get hurt again Sarah, not saying you would Adam but seeing her like that and still dealing with it makes me apprehensive about her dating anyone ever again. I mean that is to say that you like her back and I hope you do seeing as you kissed her."

His eyes widen and he opens his mouth,

"Of course I do, or I wouldn't have kissed her. I've liked her, liked you for a long time. I just never said anything. And Cameron I understand completely, I'd be the same way if someone did that to my little sister too. But I will never lay a hand on her, ever."

I smile and snuggle my side into his chest as I look at Cameron. He just sighs and looks up at the ceiling and mutters,

"Fine fine, I guess I will be willing to let this happen. Just try and keep the pda down around me for a while. And your no longer welcome to talk about girls in the guys group chat. I really don't want to hear about my sister in that way thanks. And if you ever hurt her, you better hide, am I clear?"

Adam nods and before he could speak I jump out of his arms and tackle Cameron in a hug repeating,

"Thank you, thank you!"

And that, was the start of a very happy life. And while I hate that part of my life with my ex, I was glad for it in a way. Because it lead me to the perfect man.
