"Hey, I have a question." I said to my dads who were sitting on their bed talking about something.
"What's up, sweetie?" Dad asked
"I was wondering if I could go to Shane's tonight for dinner?"
"Last night wasn't enough?" Dad smirked at me
I blushed as I looked down at my feet. "We were just talking." I said
"And I saw laughing and tickling each other, and kissing." Daddy teased
I smiled. "So, can I?" I asked trying to reduce the blush on my cheeks.
"Sure." The both said
"Thanks." I gave them both a kiss on the cheek then went to my room. I felt my phone buzz so I pulled it out of my pocket. I saw it was a text from Shane.
I'll pick u up at 5. Okay? - Shane
I smiled as I sat down at the edge of the bed and texted him back.
Sounds great. Can't wait 2 c u -Amelia
After it was sent I went over to my closet. It was about three so I still had two hours until Shane would be here. I looked through the many outfits, but only one stood out. It was a short dress with a black skirt bottom and the chest part was white with elbow sleeves that are lacey. I took it out and laid it on the bed. I felt my phone vibrate and read Shane's text.
I kno can't wait 2 c u either. <3 -Shane
I felt myself blush as I saw the heart. I smiled as I sent the next text.
C u later <3 -Shane.
With that I went into the bathroom with the dress. I hopped into the shower and washed my hair with my strawberry scented shampoo. Once I had finished showering I hopped out and got dressed into my dress. I did some light makeup and brushed my hair. I left it down and off to the side. Once I had finished myself it was 4:59. Just then I heard the doorbell downstairs.
My breathing immediately picked up as I thought about what I was doing. I was about to meet his mom. From what I've heard he loves his mom dearly. As in he would do anything for her. So, what happens if she doesn't like me. Will she tell him to break up with me, or what? Would he listen. I was interrupted by my thoughts by a knock at the door.
"Lia, Shane's here." I heard Katy say from the other side of the door.
"Okay, I'll be down in a sec." I said loud enough for her to hear me.
"Okay" She said before I heard her footsteps leave and went down the stairs.
I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I took a deep breath, then another. I repeated the process about five times before I opened the door and headed downstairs. As soon as Shane came into view I felt self-conscious. He was completely hot and I'm me. I looked up to see his mouth wide open.
'Did I really look that bad?' I asked myself.
Shane's POV
As soon as she walked down those stairs my jaw fell. She looked absolutely gorgeous. I saw as she looked down at her feet frowning.
"You look gorgeous." I said. Her head snapped up at me and she smiled. Then I remembered the flowers in my hand. "I got you some purple lilies." I said handing them to her
"Thank you, they're beautiful." She turned to her dad, I think she calls 'Daddy'. "Can you put these in the vase in my room. He nodded. Her dads both gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Have a good time, but not to good." Her 'Dad' said
"Thanks, love you guys." She grabbed her black jean jacket that went down to her waist and we left. I led her to my car. "Wow, you actually have a car." She joked.
I laughed. "Yeah, I know I only use it when its bad weather, or a special occasion, and this is a very special occasion." I said then opened the door for her. She thanked me before getting in. I closed the door and went to the other side and got in the drivers seat.. "Ready?" I asked. She nodded.
The whole ride to my house was filled with us talking about random things. It was funny, and no matter what we would never lose topics to talk about. Like, we could never lose anything to talk about. When we got to my house I got out and opened her door. I held out my hand for her to take. She laughed slightly as she took my hand and we walked hand-and-hand to the front door. I opened the door and let her go in first. "May I take your coat?" I asked
"Sure" She smiled as she handed me her coat.
I grabbed her hand and led her to the kitchen where my mom was. When we walked into the kitchen I saw my mom at the stove, Amber and Simon at the island writing on something.
"Hey" I said
Everyone's heads snapped to us just as I felt Amelia's hand tighten in mine.
"H-hi" Amelia stuttered
"Amber, Simon you remember Amelia, right?" They both nodded. I slowly led her to my mom. "Mom, this is Amelia. Amelia, this is my mom, Simone."
"Hello, Amelia, it's so nice to finally meet the girl my son always talks about." Mom said moving towards Amelia. I felt heat run to my cheeks.
"Mom" I groaned
"What?"
"You're embarrassing me." I whispered. Amelia laughed as she turned towards my mom.
"It's nice to meet you, Ms. Williamson." She said
"Oh please call me Simone." Mom said
"O-okay"
"Well, dinner is ready." Mom said.
I nodded as I led Amelia to the dinner table in the dining room. I sat next to Amelia on the front side of the table. Amber and Simon sat in front of us on the other side, and mom sat at the head. Mom placed a pan of ghoulosh in the middle of the table and we started to fill our plates. After we had gotten food on our plates mom began talking.
"So, Amelia, Shane said that you have two dads."
Amelia nodded. "Yeah, and they're the greatest. I've been with them for about nine years."
"Really, how did you come to them?" Mom asked
"Um, I was in the foster system for a few years and them my social worker put me with them and I've been with them ever since." She said
"Oh really, so you and Shane are English partners. How's that been working out? Is he a good partner?" Mom asked
Amelia laughed a little. "Yeah, he's okay."
"Just okay?" I asked smirking.
She looked at me smiling. "Yep"
"So, Amelia" Mom continued. "I heard you're into music." she nodded "How did you get into it?"
Just before she was about to answer the home phone started ringing.
"Shane, can you get that?" Mom said. I nodded as I stood up and went into the kitchen. I picked it up and put it up to my ear.
"Hello?" I spoke
"Hello, is this Shane Williamson?" A guy said on the other end of the line.
"Yeah, who is this?" I asked
"It's Dr. Jacob." He said
"Oh, hi. Is everything okay?" I asked getting a little nervous
"Well, those test results came back on the physical Dr. Roberts asked me to do on you."
"And how are they. I'm still good, right?" I asked
I heard him sigh. "I'm really sorry son." Then those four words I prayed never to hear again came through the line, through my ear and into my brain.
"Your cancer is back."
