You're My Dad?

Food.

We went home and Joey and Shane both laid on the couch, too tired to move.

Me: Would you like me to make dinner?

Shane: Oh its alright! I can do it.

Me: Shane.. I know your trying to make it seem as if I’m not a slave but I want to make dinner.

Shane: You really want to? Maybe I can help and let Joey rest. He must be tired.

Shane winked at Joey and Joey started blushing.

Me: Yeah we will make the birthday boy dinner. I’m guessing chicken??

(I did my research.)

Joey: Yeah! How did you know?

Me: I learned more about my dads. And I also saw more than I would like to..

Joey: Sorry about that..

Shane: Yeah.. Sorry..

Me: Its fine. At least it wasn’t all purple and gross like some peoples..

Shane: How do you know that?/

Joey: Shane! Don’t!

Me: No its alright.. I uhh.. I use to be a sex slave..

Shane: I’m sorry.. You didn’t have to tell me..

Me: Well its to make out bond stronger.. Right?

I smiled at him weakly. Shane did need to know this stuff if I was going to be his daughter.

I like how Joey was looking out for me though. It lets me know he really cares.

Me: Joey.. I still don’t see why you did it..

Joey: Did what??

Me: …. Adopt me.

Joey: Are you sad that we took you in? I’m sorry I didn’t know.. We can take you ba-

Me: No. Its not that. I love being here its just.. 

My phone started ringing 

“But baby

Life isn’t that easy

Sometimes it gets crazy,

I’m falling on my knees,

Yeah.

I’m hoping 

For a happy ending

So lets start pretending

What like could be..”

I sent it to voicemail. It was just Alyssa..

Shane: Awe! I’m your ring tone? That’s sweet!

Me: Yeah, well my mom died on Christmas and… 

A tear slid down my cheek.

Me: That song gave me hope..

Shane: And look where you are. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me besides Joey. I think you are where you belong right now. And I promise we will have the best Christmas ever this year.

Me: Thank you Shane. For everything. You saved me and I can never repay you.

Shane: You already did.. With your love. that’s all I will ever want.

Me: Then that’s all you will get!

I crossed my arms and looked away in a joking manner. He grabbed my shoulder making me look back at him.

Shane: I’m being serious.

I gave Shane a hug. He is the best. 

We cooked Joey his chicken and rice and me and Shane made ourselves Mac and cheese with mashed potatoes.

Joey: Cheese is bad for you.

Me: No it isn’t, may as well say milk if back for you as well.

Joey: Milk is really bad for you. It strips your body of calcium.

Shane: Doesn’t milk GIVE you calcium??

Joey: Nope.

Me: I don’t believe you..

Joey: Fine but just don’t drink milk. Tell your friends at school.

Me: Psh.. What friends…. I’m going to bed. I have to go to school tomorrow.

Shane: Oh we forgot to tell you. How would you like it if we signed you up for home schooling?

Me: Oh my gosh really?? That would be amazing!!

Joey: Then its settled.

Me: Yay. Thanks you guys. And goodnight.

I hugged both of them and they both gave me a kiss on the cheek.

I plugged my phone into its charger and got under my blankets. I was up for about another hour just thinking.

Thinking about Shane and Joey.

How they really care and support me.

How they think I am an amazing person. And how they feel comfy with me. So comfy that they have sex in front of me. I don’t mind it though.

I eventually fell asleep and for once in a VERY long time, I fell asleep with a smile on my face. I was having a peaceful sleep. Not a scary one or a nervous one. Just a nice and calm one. And I enjoyed every moment of it.
