Practically Daddy [COMPLETE]

Chapter 29

We arrived back at the hotel at 12 in the morning. I was very tired, so I just fell asleep right after I changed out of my clothes.

The next day, we went out for breakfast. We had tea and biscuits as a starter, and then had eggs for our actual breakfast. Afterwards, we went to the famous London Eye. We all got to skip the line because workers recognized the guys. Joe, Bessy, and Q all went on together. Sal, Murray, and I got on the next cart. I wasn't too thrilled of being with the scaredy cats.

"Oh, we're going up! We're going up" Murr screamed.

"It seems fun, but I know at the top I'll be scared" Sal said.

"Shut up, guys. You guys are not too brave" I said.

"I don't think you understand that we aren't the kind of people who like heights" Sal said.

"Oh, please. Look, it just stopped. Can you handle it? We're not even that high" I said.

The London Eye started going up and up. We were one move away from getting to the top of the wheel. I heard Joe, Bessy, and Q shouting and taking pictures at the top of the wheel. Then, it shifted to the top and stopped for us.

"You realize if you fall from here you're dead" Murr said. He was covering his eyes.

"Oh my god!" Sal screamed. He screamed like he was enjoying it.

Later, we had lunch and then got to the other theater. My seat was at the very top of the theater. I saw them look up at me every once in a while. When the show was over, I went down to the meet and greet. Only a few people knew who I was, which I was completely fine with. I loved all of the accents so much!

After the last show of the night, Joe told the fans that they'd be back in the U.K. I was too tired to stay for the meet and greet, so I just took our bus to the hotel. I went to my room, took a shower, changed, and fell asleep.

The next morning, we had a break of two days before filming for the two U.K. episodes. We were supposed to be in England for another week.

After one day of break, all of us got bored, so on the second day, we decided to do something fun. We went snow tubing. It's when you use a tube to go down a huge hill of snow. We all dressed extremely warm, especially Sal, with the fear of catching a cold.

We were all at the top of the hill, except Joe. He was taking care of Milana and taking pictures of us. Bessy and him were taking turns.

"Who's going down first?" Q said.

"You are" Murray said.

Q went down the hill and all of us watched him leave the place. He didn't enjoy it. I wanted to see if I'd enjoy it, so I went down next. It was pretty awesome. Then, Sal came down. After him, Murray. Finally, Bessy came down last.

At the bottom of the hill we decided we got bored with snow tubing. Sal said he was going to find Q to come to dinner with us.

"Where'd he go?" I asked.

"He's not coming to dinner with us. He's at his favorite place" Sal said.

"Is it the strip club?" I said.

"Pretty much" Sal sighed.

"Whatever. Let's go. I'm hungry" I said. 

We all hopped into a cab and drove to the hotel. At the hotel, Joe said he wanted to eat at a fancy restaurant he found. We all had to dress nicely. I put on one of the dresses I bought a few weeks ago. Bessy had to help me because I couldn't put it on with my cast. We went back in the cab and drove to the restaurant.

Dinner was delicious! England has amazing food!

Later that night, we were all hanging out in Q and Murray's room. Milana was sleeping on Q's bed. Murr left and bought champagne for all of us, except me and Joe to drink. He got glasses from the bar in the hotel lobby.

"Here, guys" Murray said. He handed me sparkling peach juice for Joe and I to fit in. Joe poured himself and I some.

"A toast to successful U.K. shows and two episodes to be filmed in the U.K" Joe said.

We all put our glasses together and drank.

"Hopefully many more and another trip here" Q said.

"To the awesome fans who came out for us" Murr said.

"England is amazing!" Sal shouted.

"Most importantly, the fans who supported us, and the family that supported us. I love you Bessy and Milana" Joe said. He kissed them both on the cheek.

"This will be long and I know I'm going to end up crying. Jo, you changed my life. We support each other when we fall, our adventures are priceless to be on. You make everyday brighter. The moment I adopted you, I knew it was something special. You are the sweetest and cutest girl I've ever seen. I've always thought that having a daughter would be a pain, but you're not too bad. Congratulations on graduating high school. You know how to have fun, even with the tragedy behind you. You're one of the strongest people I know. I love you so fucking much!" Sal started to break right away.

I ran to him and hugged him. We hugged for such a long time, crying on each other's shoulders. It quickly became a group hug. Q and Bessy started tearing up right away.

"I'm going back to my room to cry" Sal said.

We all left Q and Murray's room. Sal and I went to our room. Sal was still crying a little bit.

"Thank you for adopting me. I can't imagine life without you. I just have one question" I said.

"What's the question?" Sal asked.

"Why me? Why did you adopt me out of all people?" I asked. 

"I've always felt it was important to adopt. I met you outside and it seemed perfect" Sal said.

"But why didn't you adopt one of the little kids inside the orphanage?" I asked.

"You seemed special. Now I have a question. On a scale from 1-10, how is living with me going?" Sal said.

"Ten. I miss my parents and brother, but you make me feel right at home" I said.

"Thank you. You make everything special" Sal said.
