_ "Hey, is it okay if we call you Betty? Mitch asks. I smile. "Sure!" I reply. We get in the car and go on the road. Jerome looks at me. "How are you feeling?" He asks, referring to my bruises. I smile just a little bit. "I'm fine. This is MINOR compared to what they've done to me. This is gonna sound really dark, but the only reason they weren't worse on me is because you guys were here." I explain. Mitch looks horrified. "How could they do that to a child?" He asks. I shrug my shoulders. "I dunno. Ask them." I say. "So what's your favorite hostile mob?" Jerome asks to break the silence. I smile. "Creepers, duh." I reply. We talk about MineCraft for a while until we pull up to a nice looking house. "Well, after you." Jerome says, opening the door for me and Mitch. We walk in. "Okay, do you wanna see your room?" Mitch asks as I look around the house. He catches my attention instantly. "Yeah!" I say. Jerome and Mitch leads me to a room with a creeper face on the door and opens it. "Oh...My...God..." The room was amazing! It had green walls, a creeper anatomy poster, a green rug with a creeper face, and the bed had a green blanket and creeper face pillows. It was awesome! "This is so cool!" I squeal. Mitch laughs. "That's not even the half of it. Go in there." Jerome says, pointing to a door that's next to the dresser. I open it and there's an amazing recording room that's also creeper themed. "This is awesome, guys! Thank you so much!" I laugh, hugging my dads. They smile. "Oh, I forgot the welcoming party! We gotta go, guys!" Mitch said all of a sudden. I tilt my head. "Welcoming party?" I ask. Jerome is the one who explains. "Team Crafted is celebrating it's new member with a party." He says simply. I nod. "Okay." Mitch picks me up and carries me into the car. "GO GO GO!" He shouts like a military officer. Jerome runs after him. I'm laughing. "Put me down! PLS, I fan!" I squeal. "Nevaaa!" Mitch says. I jump down from his arms and strap myself into the car. "ONWARD, BACCA!" Mitch shouts, laughing. We drive to another house. Mitch knocks on the door. A girl answers it. She's about my age. "Mitch! Jerome! You're here!" She says happily. I smile. "Hi. What's your name?" I ask. The girl smiles sweetly. "My name is Halia. But my friends call me Boo." She replies. "Oh cool. I'm El-" I realize that I can remake myself here. I don't have to be Elizabeth, the shy girl. I can be someone new. I can be Betty. "Betty." I finish. Halia beams. "Oh, cool! Nice to meet you, El Betty." She chirps. I laugh. "Well, come in! Adam and Fish are in the living room already, but Ian and the rest are late again." "AMPHIBIAN!" a voice comes from another room. "IT'S SHORTER!" Halia yells back. "FIEEEEEESSH!" Another person's voice yells. "Anyways, come in." Halia laughs, letting us in. I look around. It's a nice house. I go into the living room, where two very familiar people are talking.
Skydoesminecraft and Huskymudkips.
"Oh my god..." I gasp. Sky turns to me.
"Oh, hi! You must be Mitch and Jerome's daughter! What's your name?" He asks.
"My name is Betty." I reply, smiling. "It's nice to meet you, Sky." Sky laughs.
"Call me Adam." He replies. I nod. "Yes sir, Adam, sir!" I laugh. The Fish comes over to me.
"Hi, I'm Quentin." He says. I laugh. "FIEEESSSH!" I yell. Adam cracks up.
"I've taught my fans well." He laughs. Quentin crosses his arms across his chest. "For the millionth time, Amphibian!" He says. I mimic his actions. "SorryNotSorry." I reply happily and go over to Halia and another girl. Adam and Quentin go into the hall to talk with Mitch and Jerome. "Hi." I say to the girl. Her hair reminds me of a Blaze, because it's a reddish blonde. The girl smiles. "Hi. What's your name?" "Oh, I'm Betty. Yours?" "I'm Nova, but my friends call me Blaze." She says perkily.
Yeah...
"So are you a friend?" I ask. I doubt it though: both of them look about my age, Halia maybe a little older. "Kind of. I'm Adam's sister, and She's Ty's cousin." Halia replies. Shoulda seen that coming. "Is he here?" I ask. Halia laughs. "No. He had to do some last minute recording, so he dropped me off here." Blaze says. I nod. "Oh, that's cool! Hey, by the way, who's the new member?" Halia looks at me funny. "What?" She asks. "Mitch and Jerome said that we were celebrating Team Crafted's new member. Who is it?" I ask. Blaze and Halia laugh. "Dude, it's you!" Blaze says. I mentally facepalm. Of course. Why do I have to be such a moron sometimes? "Oh, okay. Are you guys part of Team Crafted?" I ask. Blaze shakes her head and smiles. "I like MineCraft, but Pokemon is better." She says. Halia smiles too. "Technically, yes. But I haven't made a video with them yet. Adam's afraid that he'll be accused of favoritism. I don't want that to happen, so we're waiting a while until the haters cool down from his break up with Alesa. That girl was so annoying!" Always one to love information on these legendary YouTubers, I decide to ask a kind of risky question.
"Why was she annoying you think?" Halia lets out a low growl.
"Adam let her move in, and she took over! All of our Minecraft posters were replaced with pictures of flowers and shit, and she tried to make me all girly. Adam realized he had made a mistake after about 3 months, and he broke up with her."
"Sounds like a bad way to live." I reply. Halia nods.
"Oh, it was." She says. Blaze looks at my arms and pokes Halia's shoulder. Halia looks at her and Blaze points to my arms. "Oh my god! What happened, Betty?" She gasps. I look down at my bruises, as though noticing them for the first time. I usually just say I don't want to talk about it, or lie. But all of a sudden the memory hits me, stabbing at me like a knife. Instinctively, I fall to the ground, screaming and crying like I did every single time that me and Mrs. Margaret had our 'talks'.

Mitch and Jerome rush in, followed by Quentin and Adam.
"Betty?! What's wrong?!" Jerome asks, crouching down next to me. I look up and hug him as tightly as I could. "
I had a really bad flashback, that's all. Sorry if I worried anyone." I mumble, ashamed of the way I acted. Mitch crouches down next to Jerome. "It's not your fault, Elizabeth." He soothes, helping me up. Halia and Blaze look scared. "What happened, Betty?" Halia asks. I look up at Mitch and Jerome, not wanting to explain it. Jerome seems to get it. "Halia, Betty was abused in that orphanage for years." He says. I sniffle. Halia says nothing, just hugs me. "I am so sorry. I wouldn't have said anything if I had known." She says. I push her away. I'm not used to hugs, at least not from friends. With Mitch and Jerome it's okay. They're my dads, more or less. "It's okay. You had no idea." I reply. "Um, guys, we're gonna head home. It was good seeing you, though." Jerome says, picking me up. I don't fight against him, because I feel pretty weak, so I just cling to him. We go out to the car and Jerome puts me in the back seat. Mitch follows him, kissing me on the forehead before going to the passenger seat. I curl up and act like I'm sleeping. That usually helps me actually fall asleep, and it's pretty late at this point. Mitch looks back at me. "Biggums, I think she's asleep." He says softly. Jerome chuckles quietly. "Well, good. She's had a big day." He replies. True that, I think. We park in our driveway, and Mitch carries me into my room, Jerome following. They kiss my cheek before leaving, turning the light off. I let myself fall asleep. This is my new life. And I couldn't be happier about it.

OH LAWDY THE FEELS! Hey, guys, am I doing good? This is only my second "Adopted by a YouTuber" story. By the way, if you were wondering, my friend Halia (Yes, that Halia) helped me with Betty's character development. Also, thanks to BlazeTheDragonite for sending in Blaze! I add OC's into the story sometimes, but I'm not doing any more for this story.
Anyways, MultiGlitter Out! :)
