I was 17 years old. I was preparing to leave for college and start my career in journalism. I was going to be the greatest female journalist New York had ever seen. Until I met him. That's when it all changed...

"Bye honey! We're so proud of you!"

"Thanks mom. I'm gonna miss you and David a lot."

David is my stepdad. He and my mom got married my sophomore year after Matt had an affair and left my mom and me. Matt is my biological father. I could never bring myself to call either of these men "dad".

David comes over and hugs me.

"Bye Taylor. I know I can never be your real dad but I want you to know that I'm proud of you."

"Thanks David. That really means a lot."

"Alright honey, well all of the boxes are in your dorm and your room key is set... Are you sure we're not forgetting anything? I mean do I need to stop at Walmart real quick or go buy some-"

"I'll be fine mama I promise."

"I know baby." She smiles at me.

I hug them one last time and watch them get in the car. I wave one last time and head towards must dorm with a tear running down my cheek.
