Fate II ADOPTED BY SHANE DAWSON!!

Thanksgiving

This whole thanksgiving with Shane's mom and his brothers, Is honestly freaking me out. I'm excited and all, but Teresa has only seen me on Skype, and even that was just a few seconds. She seems nice, but I always still have that feeling that they aren't going to like me. Who would,besides Shane?

I guess I'm just more worried about the whole encounter in person. I need to be perfect, for them to like me, and I dont want any of them to see my scars or anything.

But, Shane probably told his mom about me..and she must have heard about my suicide attempt on the internet.

I sigh. That's it, I'm not going. I know its Thanksgiving, and its all about being thankful for what I have now, but its too much. Shane will understand, we talked about it yesterday.

"I'm scared, Shane." I cross my arms and glance at Shane on his phone beside me."I'm not going, can we turn around or something?"

Shane puts his phone down to talk. I trace my scars through my sweatshirt, anxiously waiting for the day they all go away.

"They aren't going to like me, I know it."

Shane frowns, his hand stopping me from my ways of fidgeting." No, they are going to love you, especially Jacob. You'll love him." I frown, Shane giving me a kiss on the forehead."Dont be ashamed of who you are, or what makes you, you. Your scars are apart of you, and they will soon become battle scars. And you can then use them to tell your story and help others."

"Really, dad. I didn't need Gabbie to lecture me." I laugh, but look over to see Shane's serious face. He smiles a bit to lighten the mood."I was just joking, but seriously, thanks. Thanks for everything, if it weren't for you...i dont know if I would have made it through this year..."

"I love you." I lean in for a hug, murmuring a 'love you too.'

The uber finally pulls up to the house, and I widen my eyes at how similar it looks from the videos Shane used to do. We thank the uber before stopping at the door.

"You good, babygirl?"

I nod, taking a few deep breathes, and making sure my dad's merch sweatshirt covered enough of my scars. I also wore enough bracelets on my wrists just in case. Except, I couldn't do anything about my purple mini skirt..if they showed, game over.

Ring, Ring.

Instantly the door swings open, revealing a sweet redhead with the biggest smile on her face. "Shane!"

There's a awkward moment of me watching Teresa give Shane a hug. I shuffle my feet, getting Teresa's attention. I'm sure Shane must be her favorite, or whatever.

Her eyes widen as she notices me. I smile, not knowing what else to do with my face." Christine! Oh, this is all so amazing. You're beautiful!"

Not really, but smile and dont be a freak.

I give her a hug smiling as well."Thank you, and I like to be called Chris, by the way. My father used to call me by my full name whenever he got mad.."

Wow, good pity party. You just made this woman depressed.

"Oh I'm sorry, sweetie."

Sweetie? She really just called me that horrible name??Why am I not surprised by my negative attitude of this whole situation?

More awkward silence, literally dead air between Teresa and I.

I laugh the awkwardness." I'm kind of cold..can we get inside, I'd love to meet J-Jhon? "

"Jacob, come in. Jerrie too." Teresa lets us in. I roll my eyes, giving Shane a glance. He smiles, just go with it. Sure, Shane.

As soon as i walk in the house I spot Nicole and Lauren playing with Benjamin in Garrett's arms. I smile starting to walk over to them, but is suddenly swept off my feet and in the air. My breathe hitches, remembering that familiar gesture that my father used to give me.
