He looks into your eyes, proudly, then you get off the car, he's smiling, you can feel it, you turn with a smirk. It has been 3 years since Vincent adopted you and you felt like you've known him forever, he was really nice to you and gave you everything you needed (and wanted). Today was your first day of school after the accident too, trough the morning you were really scared of what your friends will think of your new dad and you.
~~~
Carefully you open the door and walk inside, there's a social worker sat at your couch, you know she's a social worker because you've seen many of those trough the years. Usually, after your dad hit you and your aunt and then got really drunk, they all looked the same. Your mom had left you years ago, she couldn't handle your dad and thought he wouldn't hurt you, she was definetly wrong. The social worker hugs you and strokes your hair, she says she's sorry, you know she doesn't mean it, but you decide to buy it.
Her name's Angela and she tells you it would be okay, that you wouldn't be hit anymore and someone would give you a better place to live and a new family in the close future. Now you were an orphan, your dad was dead, and so was your aunt. They had found your dad's corpse floating down the river, alcohol in his system and your aunt had had a heart attack after your dad died. The next person supposed to take care of you, legally was your mom and she was nowhere to be found, the orphanage was your next stop.
Lucky for you, it's easy to relocate a four year old, you are not too young yet not too old, a lot of people wanted to adopt you by the week there. The last candidate was Vincent, his expedient showed a dark past and social services would ''not let you into a worse environment than the one you came from''. Regardless of that, Vincent kept trying, he showed up at the orphanage and brought you gifts when he had interviews, all to prove he would be the best option to be your new family. According to Angela, the final decision was on you, this was hard for a child but the other candidates were too pitiful for you and this you hate since you were one.
After visiting each candidate's house, Vincent's was your favourite, it was a one-story house outside of town. Out of any danger, far from bars or stores with alcohol, and it had a great tv for you in the biggest room you've seen in your entire life. Back at the orphanage, Angela told you, tomorrow was ''The Day'', that she needed to know your decision for you to move to your new home the day after that. It was obvious who to chose, you had thought it trough a million times, you were ready to choose.
~~~
Vincent has been telling you that it will be fine, that you will have a great time at school and that if you didn't, he'll make sure you have the best at home. At some point you buy it and he feels very excited about you, he loves you as your biological father never did and it is true, you had had the greatest of times at home. Things are so much different with him now than the first year, he's your dad and your best friend, always there with you and for you.
The big golden gate you just crossed closes behind you and you see your father grab the gate's bar as if his life depended on it, smiling at you. You smirk and walk to him, trough the bars, he passes his hand to grab yours, then you walk to the front door, making sure your uniform it's clean, turn around and wave him good bye, he waves you back and gets in the car.
At the hall, an old lady directs you to your class, everyone stares at you, the teacher asks for your name, age and previous school. Of course your answers are not very impressive, the school you came from was not private, nor academically high like this one, you seemed a little older than everyone and your name was from an ancient roman goddess(your mother gave you that name) and it was weird. Some of the kids gossip and some just kept staring, the teacher holds the laughter and tell you to sit down, you do beside a blue eyed kid.
During break, the blue eyed kid sits with you, his name is Joseph Caffrey. Everyone laughs as they pass you by, you ask Joe why, and he tells you they mock his father because of his past an looks. He's really good looking and you ask yourself who will mock the father of this kid, even more if he is like him. Joseph stands up with the bell, he stretches his hand and you take it, he helps you stand up and you walk to the classroom together, once you come in (last) the teachers stands and closes the door.
