Chris walked in my room and said "your officially mine" and at first I was confused...then I realized duhh he adopted me and now has full custody of me. I felt my heart feel whole again.
"Good morning Hannah" Chris said.
"Good morning.."
"I want to sit and have a talk with you for a little bit" he said straight in my eyes.
"Okay." It kind of made me nervous. I was thinking oh no what has happened again.
"A moving truck is coming with all of you stuff today, sweetie." He said.
"Okay great.." I said back.
He put his hand on my shoulder and asked, "whats wrong honey?"
"I don't know Uncle Chris..." I said tearing up.
He sat closer to me and said, "you know you can tell me. Are you upset? Are you not feeling good? Whats on your mind?"
"This is going to be hard...but I have been hiding something from you. I have been afraid to tell you and actually lied to you about it..." I said and starting sobbing.
He said he promised he wouldn't get mad at me...
"Tell me sweetie pie...you worry me when you do this."
"Oky well the truth is.....my step dad has had it hands on me before and has hit me before..and yeah...I have been afraid to tell you because I don't want you to leave me..."
I felt my stomach drop when I said that.
"Awww Hannah. I really wish you would've told me though...and why do you think I'd leave you? I would do anything to protect you.
"I know and I want to show you something else...."
I pulled up my sleeve of my shirt and it showed a bruise on my arm...
"Who did this to you?! Your step dad?!"
"Yeah he did." I started crying.
He grabbed my hand and had tears coming down his eyes.. "I am so sorry Hannah...I'm sorry I've never been there for you before. You've been through all this heartache and damn it...I wish I could've been there. I love you with all my heart and will always be here for you to have a shoulder to cry on or if you want to gossip about something." He smiled.
"Thank you...Can I have a hug?"
"Hell yeah you can" he said
He grabbed me and hugged me tight...I was still crying because I felt stupid about not telling him the truth about my step dad.
"Everything will be okay, I promise." He said.
"I hope so. I always feel scared because I think he will come back and do it again...to be honest I wanted to die right there." I said.
"He will never come around here and if he would I would give him a piece of my mind".
"I love you Uncle Chris..thank you for staying by my side through everything. Like me crying, heartache, even my surgery. I am very thankful for you".
"Hey thats what I'm here for. I love you too baby girl. Always remember that and never forget!"
