You're My Dad?

Love?

I lay back down on my bed until I heard a knock at the door. 

Me: Come in!

Shane walked in slowly.

He closed the door behind him and sat on my bed.

Shane: Hey Hannah.

Me: Hey, What’s up?

Shane: I just wanted to let you know, we really do care about you. I know about your past and I’m really sorry that happened… I had an abusive dad too. My dad would beat me every night because he drank. I know what you went through. And I am truly sorry. I just feel like you don’t like it here or you don’t like having two dads…

Me: I’m sorry to hear that and no, I love it here actually. It’s really fun being here. I just hope I stay here. I really like you and Joey. It doesn’t feel bad that I have two dads, if anything its awesome because you would be more accepting of me if I turned bi. I love you guys. And honestly, you saved my life. I hated my life so much and I saw your Youtube videos. You are my hero Shane. I can never repay you.

Shane looked at me with those sweet eyes. He looked like he was about to cry of joy. He really did save my life. And I am glad I can now call him dad. Its not every day you get a dad as awesome as Shane. 

Shane: If you ever want to talk, I am here for you. I might not understand, but I will try. I’m really glad Joey adopted you… Want to know a secret?

Me: Sure!

Shane walked to the door and opened it and looked around to make sure no one was listening. He closed the door and came back to my bed.

Shane: Next week is Joey’s birthday, I’m going to propose.

Me: Oh my gosh! That great! I’m so happy for you! Can I be there recording the whole thing??

Shane: Sure.

Shane smiled at me and leaned in for a hug. I feel like this is the start of a whole new chapter in my life. 

Shane: Hannah?

Me: Yes?

Shane: …. I love you.

Me: I love you too Shane. I really do.

Shane let go and I looked into his eyes and saw that they were tearing up.

He got up and left the room without saying another word. I lie back down on my pillow and fell asleep.

I woke up to a loud alarm going off in my ear. It read 6:30.

A tired Joey walked in yawning and shirtless.

Joey: Hey Hannah. Time for school!

Me: UGH! Do I have too? It’s the middle of the year. I don’t want to make any friends.

Joey: Sorry honey. You have to go, but you can skip tomorrow if you’d like.

I got up and took a quick shower. I got dressed and saw Shane waiting for me by the front door with a new backpack with supplies in it.

Joey and I walked to the front door and Joey grabbed his keys.

Shane: Have a good day! Don’t get snagged by any boys just yet!

Me: Whatever I’m way too ugly for that.

Shane: Stop lying darling.

I grabbed the bag out of Shane’s hand and thanked him. I then walked out the door and hopped in the Prius that picked me up.

We were at my school in about 5 minutes and I was really early. Joey walked with me to the office and we got my schedule.
