Andy-

(Y/N) walked all of us to (F/N)'s grave. She explained to the girls stories that they went to and how (F/N) died. To this day (Y/N) doesn't know who shot (F/N), it was never clear about it. No news went around and polices didn't put in files about her death. One day (Y/N) did bring up a girl at my concert pointed it out. She said she was sorry about (F/N)'s death days after, I told her it might be because of the pictures we posted the night she passed away. (Y/N) had an uneasy face about it but she never brought it up again.

After we left the grave we decided to stay at a hotel after eating at a dinner. In the morning we ate breakfast and went back home. All of us acted like none of what happened yesterday even happened, well at least said anything. (Y/N) and I were talking in the front while the girls were on their phones and Alex was looking at the small tv in the car. The trip takes five hours without traffic. By the third hour, everyone was asleep expect amber and I. "Girl, what has gotten into you." I said when only snores were filling the car's silence. Amber jumped and took off her earbuds. She had a depressed face, so depressed it made me sad just seeing her from the rear mirror. Amber, my daughter, with that face isn't something I want to see.

"dad... I need to... say...say- something." She said as if she was tripping over her own sentence. Silence filled the car again, I waited until she told me. "I.. like... I mean." she sighed. Whatever she wanted to say really took her breath away. So much has been said and shown in two days, whatever Amber wanted to say, I wasn't sure I wanted to hear.

"Am-" I started.

"Dad- I-like-girls."

I kept driving but didn't say anything. What am I suppose to say? My parents told me what to prepare for a child but never this topic. My heart started to ache but I don't know why. It isn't that I don't approve, I would never disown my child for anything. This feeling, I just can't describe it. I quickly looked back on her, maybe my worst idea. Her eyes widened like never before. She looked so scared, fear covered her face, no saddens, just fear. She kept looking at her lap and her hands clenched into a fits for some reason. After a long time I spoke up.

"So.. when did you know... you-,"

"Oh!' She said jumping back into reality. She unclenched her hand and just patted her laps. "Last year. I- um... I hanged out with one of my friends and I just had the urge to kiss her. I've had a crush on her for a year now."

"So what is your preference?"

"I am a lesbian."

"Oh, cool. Who is it that you-?"

"Who I like? It's Jenna."

"Hmm. Jenna is a nice name...tell me about her."

"Oh she is just... so...amazing. She's so pretty and very smart but-"

"Has a boyfriend, or she's straight." I jumped in not wanting her to say it. If it is true, Amber must be having a hard time with her feelings. Saying it out loud will only make is worse.

"Yeah." She sighed. Like that.

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay. It's only the beginning of high school I'll get over her." I didn't know how to respond. "When are you telling mom?" She asked with sadness.

"I'm not telling. You can tell her whenever you feel like. I'm just glad you let it out to me."

Amber let a little laugh out and she seemed a bit happier. "Amber, have you figured out what you want to be when you're all grown up?"

"So far, I'm planning to be a director for movies."

"Well, what about every Saturday we met up with the band and we talk about our new video?"

"Dad.. really?!" The tone in her changed and I loved it. She seemed even more happier and that's the Amber I love. I said I was for real and she laughed. She put her earbuds in again and read her book again.

I just want the best for my children. Adopted or biological, I raised them. I don't care who they decide to be, I will always support them.
