Adopted by Dan And Phil (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter nine

"My past families never cared about me." I started. He looked at me confused. He didn't get it and I don't blame him. How often do you see people who have been adopted? Not very often really.

"I was adopted by my dad, Phil, and my uncle, Dan." I explained. He nodded and so I continued. "My last family was when I was ten. They didn't care much about me, but whenever I needed something, the supplied it. Then they got a divorce. They argued for hours and wouldn't speak for days on end before they decided this. My mom left me with my father. He was abusive verbally and physically. Sometimes I wouldn't show up to school for weeks.

"Finally, he killed himself because he couldn't take it anymore. The police could find my mom. Once again, I had been put up for adoption. I wasn't even considers by most families. Dan and Phil were the first people in a long time that actually wanted me."

I finished, wiping tears from my face. "Well, I never gave you my name. I'm Amanda." I said giving him my hand. "I'm David," he said shaking my hand. "I live in that apartment building." He said, pointing to the one I live in. "OMG me too!" I exclaimed.

"Maybe, you could come over until you dad looks for you?" He asked. I nodded just as my phone rang. It was Phil.
"Honey! Where are you?! Are you okay?!" He sounded frantic.
"Yes, dad, I'm fine." I said.
"Oh good. Come home, you're going to stay with Zoe and Alfie for a couple of days. Just until Dan and I work things out." He said.
"But my friend David invited me over." I said.
"A boy?! Do you know what a boy will do? I'm not letting you get hurt!" He continued on like that until I interrupted him.
"Dad! I trust him. Besides, he lives in the same building."
"Oh ok. Have you seen Dan?"
"No. Should I have seen him?"
"No it's okay. He went out. He's gonna drink." Phil explained and it finally made sense.

Phil didn't want me home because if Dan came home drunk, he could hurt me. Why did I trust Dan in the first place? I don't know but I hope I'm not gonna regret it.

"Come home get some things for Zoe and Alfie's. You can hang out with David when you get back." Damn it. I didn't want to meet new people. He then hung up.

"David, I can't come over. Give me your number though, and we can text." I said. He complied sadly. "If you need anything, text me okay?" I told him. I'm hoping he doesn't suffer from depression like I do. "Okay." He said, smiling a bit.

Phil waited for me by the door to finish packing. He seemed mad. I couldn't tell who he was mad at, but I hoped it wasn't me. "Hey, dad, who are you mad at?" I asked. I needed to know

"Dan. I'm pissed that he would do this. He is you legal guardian along with me. He needs to be responsible." Phil said, growing even madder by the second. "Phil, calm down. Please, you're scaring me." I said, on the brink of a panic attack.

"Don't worry, Amanda. Everything will be ok." He said, hugging me. "Everything will be okay..."
