You're My Dad?

Little to no time left.

When I woke up, everyone was waiting for me. Jessie was dressed in Joey’s pants and one of Shane’s shirts.

He looked like he was really happy. He looked as if he had a nice night.

We drove to school and went to out normal classes. We got assigned a few things in some classes and the school day ended. 

Jessie didn’t talk to me much. But he did find a group of new friends. I just hung out with Alyssa, it didn’t bother me.

Shane and Joey weren’t there to pick me up after school so I walked.

When I got home I wasn’t greeted by Yuki. That was weird. 

I searched around the house until I gave up. I don’t know where Yuki is and I couldn’t find Shane or Joey anywhere. 

I tried to call them but it went to voicemail. This is weird. They are always home.

I waited for hours until I got a phone call. I got excited and answered it but it was only an advertisement.

I was starting to get worried. I took a shower and ate dinner. Alone. It felt strange. I haven’t felt this in a really long time. It felt like I was back to living at a foster home. 

I went up to my room and cleared off my bed. I laid there for a few minutes until I fell asleep. 

I woke up a few hours later. I was getting shook by Shane.

Shane: Hannah. Are you okay? Im so sorry we left. Yuki ran away and we spent hours looking for her.

I got very scared. I hopped out of bed.

Me: Did you find her!?

Shane got a very sad look on his face. He looked as if he was about to cry.

Shane: …. No.

I sat back down on my bed slowly. I started to tear up. 

How could Yuki leave. Yuki will come back. Right?

Shane left the room and I started thinking. I looked at my phone. Feb. 9.

How could they not be panicking!

Me: Shane!!!

He came running to my room.

Shane: WHAT!?!

Me: The wedding is tomorrow!

Shane: Whose?

Me: YOURS!!!

Shane got a look of worry and rushed out of my room. I could hear his keys jingle outside my door and I heard the front door slam. I assume he is gong to buy a tux. Joey has plenty to choose from but just to make sure.

Me: Joey!

He came in a lot calmer than shane did.

Him: Yes?

Me: Your wedding is tomorrow.

His expression didn’t change, he just laughed.

Him: I know, and Shane went to get a tux. I have already picked mine out. I am way ahead of him in this whole wedding thing… Can you believe it? We are going to be married. My Shane is going to me my husband. Wow. That is a big change. I guess I have been with him long enough to be able to start calling him that without it being weird.

Joey left the room smiling. This will be the best wedding ever, and I will make sure of it.

A few hours later Shane came back home holding a few bags to make it look like he went shopping. Joey knew. But it was fun seeing Shane do so much for Joey.

Shane came up to my room and hid his tux in my bathroom under my sink.

Me: Hey Shane..

Shane: Yes?

Me: How are you?

He knew what I meant.

Shane: I…

Shane just looked down slowly and didn’t finish.

Shane: Hannah, I only have a few days left. I don’t know how to tell Joey but my time is winding down.

I started to cry. Shane. My dad was going to die in a few days because of some sickness. What will Joey do?

Shane left with no other words.
