Is He Real? | Tyler Hoechlin | EDITING

Chapter 39

Em's POV

You didn't know what to do. You felt the food from dinner moving around at the bottom of stomach and it was super uncomfortable.

You didn't even know if you could last another 5 minutes without- you know.

"Ty how much longer now?"

"About 14 minutes now. Times goes by fast doesn't it?" He said chuckling at his own stupid joke at the end.

"Ha ha ha."

"Hey Dad! You wanna hear a joke?" Chloe asked Ty. You still didn't understand how she calls him 'Dad'. 'Does she know that he's not our legit father? Don't get me wrong, I love him and I'm glad that he adopted us, but I just don't really see him as my Dad. More like a brother or uncle.' You thought.

You just heard laughing. Lots and lots of laughing.

"Wasn't that funny Emma?" Chloe somehow managed to ask you in between her laughs.

"I wasn't paying attention. What was the joke?"

"Okay, knock knock."

"Who's there?" You asked, already knowing that it was gonna be a really stupid joke.

"To." She says and Ty starts laughing again. Not like he ever stopped but now he's laughing harder.

"To who?"

"To whom."  She corrects me.

You chuckled a bit at the stupidity and the simplicity of the joke.

"Get it *laugh laugh laugh* because *laugh* I'm correcting you? That's the joke *laugh laugh.*" She says.

"That's nice, but how much longer until we get home?"

"About 1 minute." Ty says.

"Really?" You said with excitement in your voice.

"No! There's about 12 minutes left." He laughs at me.

You just realized something. You didn't have that feeling in your stomach anymore. It was gone!

Maybe you could have normal meals without throwing up after them now. You know that you caused that on yourself, but after the first week, you were starting to get really sick of it. No pun intended.

'That's amazing! All of my problems are gone!' You realized.

Now you could finally be a normal teenage girl.
