I feel how someone touches my arm and moments later shakes me a little bit by the arm:

"Lu, wake up honey, you need to get ready for school"

I groan a little bit and move to the other side go the bed to continue sleeping, Chris sits down on the place that I had left empty and starts rubbing my hair, that made me even more sleepy, but I made myself open my eyes, I turned to face Chris and I tell him:

"Good morning Chris"

"Morning Lu, how did you sleep?"

I rub my eyes and with a smile I tell him:

"Very good and you?"

He smiled back and told me:

"Very good"

There was a moment of silence, broken when Chris said:

"Okay, now let's go down to have breakfast"

"Do I change first?"

"Nah" he said "First breakfast, then changing of clothes"

"Okay" and I got up, got my slippers on and went downstairs with my new father, when we got down to the kitchen I found on the isle a pair of bowls, a box of Cheerios, some milk and a juice jug, there was also a bowl full of strawberries, and when I was in front of all of this I looked at it with amazement, than Looked at Chris and asked him:

"Did you made all of this?"

He nodded with a smile and I went to where he was to give him a hug:

"Thanks Chris"

He hugged me back and when we let go we started to eat

We got in the car once I had changed myself and headed to school, it was going to be my first time getting out of Chris's car, specially when he owns the type of car he has, when we reached the school and I got out of the car, a lot of girls came to me to ask about it, but I said goodbye to Chris and I got into class

---------------------------------------- time skip ----------------------------------------

It was break time after lunch, and as well as in the morning break, a lot of girls surrounded me and my friends and started telling me that all that I was looking for was attention, that what I wasn't going to last for long, and a lot more of horrible things, my friends tried to get them away, without any success, so what happened at it end was me crying in the corner of the courtyard, I was with my two best friends, who were telling me that what I had was real and that I shouldn't listen to them, so I started to relax again and before going to class again I was laughing with my friends again

---------------------------------------- time skip ----------------------------------------

It was 5.10. and despite me being in another class I still heard how people were yelling at me and was calling me things, so I decided to go into the bathroom and stay there till all of them were gone, and when they were I got out to find one of my best friends, the one that didn't have a bus to catch, waiting for me, I ran to her arms and cried there, and soon my phone buzzed with a message from Chris:

Getting in

Okay, I'm getting out of my class now, see ya

Okay :)

I got out of class with my friend and walked to where Chris was going to be, and when I spot him I turn around to my friend and ask her:

"¿Parece que he estado llorando?" / "does it look like I was crying?"

She shocks her head 'no' and gives me a hug before she leaves, I take a deep breathe and turn around again with a smile on my face and got into the car, once inside and after I had given Chris a hug and a kiss he places my head in his hands and looks at me straight into the eyes, he had now a worried look and he asked me:

"Has something happened that you should tell me about Lu?"

I look down to the floor and told him with a smile:

"There is, but can we get home first please?"

He gets his hand through my face and gently he says:

"Yeah, sure"

Through the whole trip home I didn't say a word, not did Chris, some time I let a little tear role down my cheek, but I quickly rubbed it off, soon we were home and I got out of the car, but before I could run anywhere Chris grabbed me by my waist and told me:

"Where do you think you're going missy?"

I turned around slowly, not wanting Chris to see me crying, but when I did the smile he had on his face disappeared and he quickly came to me to give me a very tight hug, we got inside our house not letting go of the hug, making me stumble and almost fall to the floor a couple of times, and when we got to the living room he sat on the couch making me go with him, I rubbed myself on his chest and cried harder, at first he was just there, rubbing my head with his hand not saying anything but then he asked me:

"Want to tell me what happened?"

"There were this girls that were messing with me today, since they saw me getting out of the car with you, and they are doing it because they say that you picked me up ta gain attention" I looked up at him and asked "And that's not true right?"

He gave me a smile and after kissing me in the nose he told me:

"Of course not honey, why would I? I already have more than what I need of it" he looked at me with a smile and added "And I already have everything I need"

I hug him after a while I told him:

"Will you help me with my English homework?"

He was now rubbing my hair with his hand, and when I asked him that he looked at me and told me:

"Of course I will"

I smile at him and got up to get my backpack from the front door, when I got. back he was sitting at the dinning table with his phone, and when I got there he left it aside and waited for me to get out my English book, and with. that we spent the next half an hour doing them.

---------------------------------------- time skip ----------------------------------------

Here in Spain we were having dinner at 9.30 instead at the time he used to have it back in L.A. that is was at 6.

I spent the rest of the afternoon doing my homework until I hear Chris say form downstairs:

"Lu, honey, get down for dinner whenever you can please"

I laid down on the table the pages that I was studying and got down the stairs, before I could get inside the kitchen I heard Chris talking to a woman that apparently was his mother:

"Mom, we're going to be in Boston for the next two weeks"

There was a silence

"Yeah I've talked with the school, she'll be receiving videos and homework via classroom don't worry"

I smiled to myself, he had already arranged everything for me to go to the States without losing anything from school, I tried not no interrupt so I went to the living room and sat on the sofa with my phone, minutes later he came in with a tray with two plates with spaghetti and a pair of Fanta cans, he sat down by my side and looked at me with the remote in his hand and told me:

"Lu, I've been talking to your grandma and we'll be at her house till you finish your school"

I look at him and ask him:

"Really?"

He nodded with a smile on his face, I smiled back at him and gave him a hug and when we let go he asked:

"Movie night till 11?"

"Yay!!"

And we watched a couple of movies till it was time for me to go to bed
