Adopted by a serial killer

15

    ~~~~ 1 week later ~~~~

  This past week has been the best in my whole life, I hung out with the guy who I believed my dad was when I first met him.....loving, caring, and i for the first time saw the care free side of him. I don't know how long this is going to last. His killing is an addiction and I can tell he is trying to get rid of it, but like every addiction it is tough. I'm trying my hardest to help him, I think that......I truly love him as my dad, my family. Knowing that he would give up something, or at least try to, just for me......I don't know what to say. In these last few months I have lived with him......I couldn't ask for anyone else to have adopted me, as much as I hate him for killing my family, I still love him.

Anyways today me and dad are going to the new ghostbusters movie, I have been dieing to see it! Dad has been to busy with his new job that we haven't gotten to go yet.

" MARY!! Ready yet!" I heard my dad yelling breaking me out of my thoughts.

"YES! Coming down now!" I screamed back.running down stairs I didn't see him so I thought that he was already in the car, I walked outside to see the car running. After jumping into the front we drove off to the movies.

" that was hilarious!" I said still laughing.

"I know that was better than I thought"

"I told you!"

" yes you did.....it's late so when we get home brush your teeth then go to bed....you got school in the morning."

"Sir yes sir" I saluted

"You're so weird," he laughed.

------The Next Day-----

"So how are you and your dad?" Shelby asked.

"A lot better.....closer than we ever had....that night we sat down and talked and we solved everything."

"That's great!"

"Yeah, oh an thanks for being a great friend, and tell your mom thanks for letting me stay."

"You're welcome...." Shelby got cut of from the bell.

"Ok class we are going to be doing a project for the next few weeks.....and I will be picking the pairs or well 'karma' will".......that's what she calls the sticks with our class's names on it, because no one raises there hand......" Mathew and Ryan, Zoe and Kelly.......Shelby and Mary...."

"We are going to be doing a report on something present going on in real life, then you will explain what is happening and how you think it should be solved.....you can do a power point, essay, or poster board, this is NOT and in class project... Yes I will give you sometime to do it here but it will mostly be done at home." Shelby and I were looking over the directions and thinking of recent things to go over.......

"BRIINNGG......BRIIINNGG!!!!!"

"Ok whose house do you want to go to?"I asked.

" could we go to yours today...my parents aren't home and I'm not supposed to have friends over with out permission....?"

"Sure we can go now"

"HONEY IM HHOOMMEE!!!!....and I have a vister!"

"Oh hello Shelby"dad said

" hi....umm me and Mary have a project we need to do."

"Ok.....are you staying for dinner? I need to know how much to make."

"Uh sure if you are ok with it..."

"Of course we are"

"Thanks!" We yelled running upstairs...

"What do you want to do for the project? We have been looking for HOURS!".....

"Actually it has been ten minutes"

"Oh shut up!" I screamed.

"Anyways how about this......some murderer has gone into hiding for some unknown reason.....his name Is the 'Ripper'....." I freeze.

" uhhhh....h-how about something else.......don't you think we would get in trouble for doing something not school appropriate.....?"

"No....why don't you want to do it?.... It would be interesting to do?" I look down trying to think of an excuse, but my mind draws a blank.

"What are you hiding from me?"

".......I-I-I'm not hiding anything!!"

"Mary....please you can tell me anything..."

"...the 'ripper' killed my family..."I say barely above a whisper.

"Oh.....I'm sorry.....we can do something else" just as she said that I hear dad yelled front the kitchen

"GIRLS DINNER IS READY!!!!"

----------------------------------------------

"Thanks for coming, see you tomorrow."

"Well goodnight Mary.....I'm going to bed.....don't stay up too late..."

"Wait dad!.......I-I love you" I said running of to bed, I take a quick glance back to see dad grinning like an idiot. That night was one if the best I had in weeks.
