Practically Daddy [COMPLETE]

Chapter 6

He backed away a little. "Hey, kid! Why are you in Sal's house? How could you be so crazy to break in?" he yelled in the meanest tone I had ever heard him use.

I didn't even say anything. "Listen you're probably a huge fan, and we love you, but how could you?" he yelled.

I started to tear up. I wanted to explain everything to him, but I didn't know if Sal wanted anyone to know. I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. "Do you know that this could send you to jail? We won't do that, but you have to understand that--" He got cut off.

"Hey, hun. I got the food" Sal said when he just walked in. He didn't even see Q yet.

I sighed in relief.

"What the hell is going on here?" Q yelled.

"Oh shit! Where did you come from?!" Sal yelled.

"Oh I was upstairs looking for the Led Zeppelin CD" Q admitted.

"You could of just asked me instead of coming in here and scaring her!" Sal said.

"What? She was the one who scared me" Q said.

Sal became red. I felt horrible. I didn't want to be the reason  they fought.

"Q...I-I adop-adopted her. I didn't want any of you guys to know yet" Sal finally said.

Q gasped. He became much more calm.  "I'm so sorry for yelling at you like that, sweetheart. Welcome to the family!"

"Thanks. But I'm gonna use this against you one day" I said.

They both laughed. I didn't want that to be funny.

"Okay let's all go eat at the table" Sal said.

"Did you bring enough for me?" Q joked.

"Yes I actually did" Sal said.

We all sat down at the kitchen table and helped ourselves to what we wanted.

"So tell me about yourself" Q said.

Again, I was not comfortable with this. "My name is Josephine, but call me Jo" I first said.

"Oh like my best friend!" Q said.

"Yeah I know" I said.

"You know the show?!?" he asked.

I nodded and continued to eat. "I'm 14 and a freshman in high school."

"Cool. So if you don't mind me asking, how did you end up in the orphanage?" he asked.

"Well one day about a month ago, my parents were picking up my brother up from school and this fucking car was going really fast, hit them and they were killed in the impact" I said.

Sal got up. He didn't want to hear it.

"I'm so sorry" Q said.

"I don't really want to talk about it right now" I said.

Sal returned to the kitchen with a bag. He put it next to my plate. "Open it."

I swallowed a piece of chicken. I opened the bag, and inside was a new iPhone 6s! I got up and Sal hugged me.

"You told me a bitchy worker broke your phone today, so I got you a new one" he said.

"Thank you so much" I said.

"Sal somebody broke my phone today too. Can I get a new one?" Q said.

We all laughed.

About an hour later, Q left. I was on my new phone the entire time, and I forgot to say bye, which I feel bad about.

It was 10 pm and I was already tired from this long day. I asked Sal for a blanket and I fell onto the couch. Sal told me to get upstairs. He has a nice room just for me. We walked up into a huge room with a tv, bean bag chairs, and most importantly no Emily or Emily smell! My suitcases were in a corner waiting to be unpacked. I quickly put on some light blue pajamas and went to sleep.
