[Alana's pov]

I break from the kiss and get into the car, Ruby following me.

A confused Tyler gets in the car, "Are you two dating?" He asks, seriously.

"Y-yeah..." I stutter, in response.

"Oh, cool! As long as you guys aren't being all touchy, I'm okay with it." He says, happily.

"Right..." I whisper.

He turns back around in his seat, he buckles his seatbelt.

"Where's Dallon?" Ruby asks.

"Uh, I don't know, actually. He should be back soon, though." He says, beginning to wonder if he's okay.

Dallon comes back, eventually.

He gets in, puts his seatbelt on, starts the car and drives.

There's an icy silence until we get to the gas station.

"Anybody want anything?" Dallon looks back at us.

"Can I get a Rockstar please?" Me and Ruby say simultaneously.

"Just the original one?" He asks.

We nod our heads.

"Tyler, do you think you could put in 30 dollars of gas and get 3 rockstars, plus whatever drink you want?" He says and gives him 50 dollars.

"Change?" Tyler asks.

"Yeah, please." Dallon asks.

Tyler leaves the car and turns around to me and Ruby.

"What were you two up to? I don't even know why I'm angry at you guys, Brendon just texted me, telling me to be mad at you. What the heck?!" He shouts, in confusion.

"Oh, one thing led to another and we were kinda touchy." Ruby speaks up, without a hint of shame in her voice.

I smile.

Dallon makes and 'o' shape with his mouth.

"I mean, you guys are a bit young, but it's not your fault... I don't know what I'm saying, I don't even know how to parent!" He states, laughing a little.

Thank god...

"I don't this B will be too mad, I mean, he can't say much. I remember our first ti-"

"Dad! I don't wanna hear it!" I say, loudly.

I cover my mouth in shock, realising what I just said.

I accidentally called him dad.

"Hey, don't worry, I'm so happy you called me "dad," so don't stress, okay?" He says soothingly, putting a hand on my knee.

I smile and hug him.

He hugs back and Tyler gets back in the car.

"Oof, sentimental moment." He says.

I giggle.

"Are you guys ready to go?" Dad asks.

"Hah, yeah." I say.

Dallon starts the car up again.

We pull out of the gas station and I lean up against Ruby.

She puts a small kiss on top of my head and I smile.

I take my phone out of my pocket and get my headphones out, too.

I offer her a earbud and she takes it and puts it in her ear.

I put mine in and then put on my "Top 100" playlist.

I close my phone and close my eyes as Miss Jackson starts to play into my ear.

I was shaken lightly awake by Ruby, "Hey, we're at Pete's." She whispers before jumping out of the car.

I rub my face and get out, I follow her into the house and am greeted with the smell of pizza, I grin.

"Hi." I hear a voice from the stairs.

It's Andy, "hey, Andy. How are you?"

"Im okay, Alana. Are you?" He asks seriously.

Ruby has gone to find the source of the smell.

"I- I don't know. My anxiety has been far worse and I've been getting urges to cut more frequently..." I say, sadly.

"Alana, trust me when I tell you this, it isn't worth it whatsoever. I mean, it's the easiest emotional outlet but it's fūcking stupid, you can't take back the scars on you body, ever. If you need me then call me, no matter what time. I'm there for you." He speaks.

"Thank you so much, Andy. Seriously. I appreciate it more than you know." I say into the hug.

"Pizza's ready!" Joe yells.

"Let's go!" I shout and run into the kitchen.

I hear Andy laughing behind me.

I completely forgot about Bren- dad being in the house.

"Alana-" he starts.

"I don't want to hear your lecture, dad. If you're unhappy with me dating a girl then so be it, it isn't my problem, it's yours. Ruby has been so kind to me and I couldn't ask for a better girlfriend. I want to spend the rest of my time with her. I didn't even know it was possible to love someone that much until now!" I cut him off defensively.

"Holy shīt, Alana. I love that you can be yourself around me and love who you love, I'm just, worried that you regret what you do. Like, give your body to someone and then they leave. I want what's best for you." He says, tears threatening to spill over his eyes.

He hugs me.

I hug back, strongly.

I hear mutters and I realise there is still a bunch of people.

"I love you so goddamn much, dad. Thank you for being so positive about this." I whisper, before sitting beside my girlfriend and taking a bit of pepperoni pizza.

"Tonight will be good." I think to myself, smiling at my friends and family.
