"So what did the doctor say?" Jack asked, I rubbed my eyes

"She will be okay"

"Thank god." Louise exhaled as I looked at Hannah. "It's gonna be fine, don't worry."

"They've said that the previous times so"

"Mommy"

"Yes dear?"

"I'm sleepy, can you tell me a story?"

"Uh me me me can I?" Louise volunteered, elbowing me in the ribs and telling me to go outside and get some rest. I exited, and Jack came after me.

"Hey listen, I'm gonna get straight to it: me and Louise were thinking about some stuff and we kinda decided that you need to move in with me, so you could have a bit of a normal life."

"What"

"Yes, I'll help packing and shit but Hannah needs to grow up in a normal family and we were thinking about these stuff and since you're around my age, she would look at me as her dad so there won't be any problems later on"

"Okay I'm too tired for this, let's discuss this later, I barely slept 30 minutes."

I fell asleep and when I woke up I panicked. "What time is it oh my god what happened jesus"

"Calm down, everything is okay, you slept a few hours so you should be fine."

"How much?"

"Eight"

"What the fluff" 

Everything happened so fast, and we ended up moving to Jack's place.

"I know I'm not the best one but trust me, better than the original scenario."

"I know, I remember growing up with my mom. Which one of you came up with the idea?"

"Louise told me, and then I was like okay I know you and you're not a serial killer and you're nice so why not." I smiled, getting Hannah's teddybear out of a box.

My phone rang.

"Sorry, gotta take this"

"It's okay" 

"Hello?"

"Hi it's Phil, how are you doing?"

"Hey, we're okay thank you, you two?"

"Fine too, listen can we meet up today or tomorrow? I really need to talk to you."

"Where?"

"There is a Starbucks near Jack's if you ask him he'll know"

"I need to drop off Hannah at the kindergarten, but after it's fine."

"Call me like 20 minutes before you get to Starbucks"

"Okay, see ya then"

"Okay bye"

"You're dropping off Hannah?"

"Yes"

"I'll go with you"

"You don't have to"

"Yes I do, I literally have nothing better to do"

20 minutes later I found Phil sitting in the corner at Starbucks.

"Ey" I smiled.

"We need to talk"

"Okay sure, what's up"

"I haven't told him, but..."

"Listen can I say something? I'm gonna write it down and hand it to you so others won't hear it"

The reason why I asked you not to tell him is I don't want to screw up anything between the two of you, I don't know what is going on but I don't want to screw that up.

"Oh so you got that."

"Why, what is up, you can tell me, I'm not telling anyone, pinky promise."

"It's actually true and they know it too, kind of"

"Yes! I'm so happy for you two" I whispered. "I'm not gonna ruin this, I promise"

"Listen, even if it gets f-ed up, you two can still come and we all could live together, I mean..."

"Yes yes I get it" I smiled. "I hope he won't be mad at you for telling me."

"About that... Can you not tell him that I told you?"

"Sure okay" I never thought Phil would be like this secretive.

I had to go to work at around 9.30, so we havent talked that much. I recently got a job at the local game store, so I worked there as a salesgirl from 10 am to 10 pm.

Not much happened there, mostly teenagers dragged their moms and dads in, and stood there in complete hysteria about their favorite games. It was the perfect job. 

Five minutes before closing I noticed someone looking for something.

"Excuse me we are about to close, can you hurry up or come back tomorrow?"

"Ah thank god" I heard a voice and he took off his hood.

"Oh hey Phil, how do you know I work here?"

"I need to talk to you"

"Sure, I'll close and it's okay" I said, checked everything turned on the alarm and closed the store. "What's up?" I asked and from all of a sudden, he pushed me up against the wall and kissed me. Few seconds later I finally realized what is happening and I firmly pushed him away. "What was that?" I asked with a mixture of terrifiedness and incomprehension in my spine. Shivers going up and down, my stomach in a knot. "Why did you just do that?"

"I-I-I don't know" he realized a bit after.

"You are with him, remember? You shouldn't be doing this Phil, what is going on with you?" 

"I'm gonna be straightforward, I like you too, in the same way as I like him and I have no idea what to do now."

A moment of shock passed, my only thought was WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS GOING ON IN MY LIFE WHAT THE HELL. "this is why I said even if it gets fucked up I'm sure we all could live together."

My phone started ringing.

"I'm sorry I have to take this, hello?"

"I've put her to bed two hours ago, where are you?"

"I had to close the store, and thank you, I'll be home soon."

"Okay take care"

"You too, see you later" I hung up. "Does anyone know about your feelings?" he was holding his phone and said:

"Nobody. Okay except Louise who will be freaked out tomorrow if she listens to her voicemail." he was holding his phone to his face when he finished the sentence. "Hi Louise it's Phil again I did it, I don't even know what is going on with me, call me if you get this." He hung up. "I'm sorry" he said.
