Adopted (a Fall Out Boy/Pete Wentz fan fic)

Chapter 36

Brandie's pov

Patrick, Pete, Ryan, and me were all in my hospital room. The others were still getting food.

Ryan tossed me something and it landed on my leg. I made a face but picked it up. It was a dog tag. I flipped it over and tears filled my eyes. It was my dad's old dog tag. I lost it years ago.

I hugged him asking, "Where did you find it?"

He smiled before saying, "My mom called me yesterday to tell me she found it and sent it to me in the mail. I got it before the concert. I was gonna give it to you after but then shit happened."

I hugged him tighter and Patrick asked, "What exactly did he find?"

Carefully I handed it to him saying, "My dad's old dog tags."

"Your dad served?" Pete asked.

I nodded saying, "For 4 years. Up until I was 3. He was medically discharged. Seal Team 6."

Ryan smiled at me laughing, "One time me and Brandie were hanging out in the park. And her dad was with us. Brandie and I started walking through the park cause we wanted to do something other then sit and talk. Her dad followed like 8 feet behind us. Then these 2 guys started to try and kidnap us. Her dad kicked their asses. It was hilarious."

A huge smiled placed itself on my face as I giggled, "Didn't he break one guys ass?"

Ryan's eyes widened and he clapped his hands saying, "He did! Holy shit how could I forget that!?" Pete and Trick were laughing and looking at us like we were crazy. Trick handed me the dog tags and I put them on. I smiled and fingered them. Ryan jumped asking,

"What the fuck!?" I looked up and my dad stood in the doorway. I jumped as did Pete and Patrick.

I leaned forward asking, "Dad?!"

"Hey Brandie Candy. Hey Ryro."

Ryan face palmed and I smiled. He went to ruffle Ryan's hair but it didn't work. Considering he isn't actually here.

My dad turned to Patrick saying, "You take care of my little girl." I face palmed and he turned to Pete saying,

"Same goes for you."

They both said a yes sir and my dad smiled at me before disappearing.

I shook my head sighing, "Even when he's dead he still likes to embarrass me." Ryan laughed Pete and Patrick smiled. Ashlee walked in with everyone else and asked,

"I see smiles. What happened?"

"My dad," I laughed. Everyone looked at us and I took off the dog tags and flipped them over. I smiled at his name and put them back on. Suddenly I heard him ask,

"You called?" I jumped and Ashlee squeaked.
