I did it! I did it! I asked daniel to be my freakin boyfriend! AND HE SAID YESSSS! It's only been three weeks since i met daniel  and ever since then ive done nothing but smile he makes me feel things and i love it. Ive spend so much time with daniel the past few weeks it kinda makes me feel bad for not spending that much time with zach. Ive met daniels son and they are so sweet and i love them both as my own. Jack and corbyn go to the same school as zach but are in different grades and corbyn is going to graduate soon. I want daniel jack and corbyn to move in with me and zach or me and zach move in with them but I havent even told zach about daniel. I wanna tell zach but I'm scared that he might take it the wrong way but I want him to understand that daniel isnt like his father there's not an aspect of hate in daniels heart. I slept over at daniels last noght and the night before so im going home to zach right now. Bye Dani I say pecking his lips. Bye he says as I walk out to my car. I drive home and pull into the garage. Hey zachy I'm home I cheerfully call out once I enter the house. I hear the patters of feet running down the stairs I turn around to face the smaller boy. Once hes down the stairs he gives me a giant hug. I missed you where did you go? He says looking up at me with those beautiful brown orbs of his. I kiss the top of his head dont worry about it sweetheart I'm here now I say soothingly. We kept hugging for a few more minutes until I decided its time to tell zach. I gently place my arms under his thighs and lift him up he giggles in response.i ut the teen on my hip and I walk with him there all the way to his room. I walk into the dark room the sun had just set so the room was dark. I place zach down on his bed and turn on the bedside lamp. Zach was looking at me confused I pick up the blanket that was for some reason laying on the ground and I wrap it around his frail figure. I sit on the bed so im facing him he looks up at me with a confused expression. Baby...we-were gonna have a talk okay? I tell him okay? He says back confused pro-promise daddy that you wont be mad alright I tell him and wait until he says promise back.flower well sometimes wh-when people meet each other they feel these certain feelings and you cant help but feel those feelings I try to explain to him but I didnt think it was working so i just blurted it out. Zachy da-daddy has a boyfriend. Zach looked up at me after that o-o-okay he says just barley above a whisper. Zach chest would rise and then fall quicker than the last time he was looking down I knew what he thinking but I knew he was trying to be okay with this. I sigh biting my lip nervously I-is thats why yo-you dont come home? He says narley audible but I still heard it zachy oh my goodness no i love you dont think like that your my flower my angle my everything and I promise you that hes not like him. I say tearing up a little bit as I speak i pull zach closer to me and lay his head on my chest I-im sorry zach whispers dont be sorry baby theres nothing to be sorry for. I held zach until he fell asleep. Goodnight precious I whisper kissing his forehead. I go to my bedroom across the hall from zachs room I slip put of my clothes exept my boxers. I leave the night stand light on and facetime daniel.  Hey baby he says smiling into the camera hey I say. I told zach i say a little quieter than I was before but it was still audible for him to hear. Yay! He says excitedly does that mean I can come back over tommrow? He asks sure I smile. After I facetimed daniel I fell asleep smile on my face.

12:30pm next day

Daniel is coming over for a little bit today. I told zach but I dont think he really cared so he put his earbuds back in. I hear a knock on the door so I quickly
Run to the door unlocking it then connecting me and daniels lips with no hesitation the kiss was filled with passion and we both pull away giant smiles on our faces. We went and sat on the couch facing one another making small talk. I completely forgot that zach was home he was being so quiet. It wasnt until daniel mentioned it that I remebered why he was here. I lead daniel up to zachs room and gently knock on the door knowing that zach hates loud noises. Zachy can I come in? I ask from the other side of the door. Okay was what the faint quiet voice behind the door said. Hand in hand with daniel I see zach sitting crisscross applesause on his bed daniel smiles widely at the young boy but zach didnt seem to excited about meeting daniel. Zachy this is daniel I said in a cheery tone o-okay
He said quietly looking me in the eyes. Hi zach daniel says happiness ringing through his voice hi zach said back quietly  going back to what he was doing before which was writing in his journal. I take the book from his hands and put it on the desk beside his bed zach be nice I say he jist looks at me with those sad eyes of his ple-please l-leave he choked out i gibe hims a confused face.  I relize that zach was writing In his journal and being shaky so i knew what was going on but it just had to be today when this happens.where are you stashing it zach? I ask in a more serious tone he just shakes his head no not even paying attention to daniel anymore. I slid my hand into zachs hoodie pocket searching for the pills daniel most likely confused beyond words. Itwas pretty easy to find the pills because they were in his hoodie pocket. Zach tried to pull them back from my grip but I didnt give so he just stopped trying. I sigh standing up with the small canister of zachs meds were talking about this later I say before pulling daniel out of zachs room. Jonah whats wrong with zach? He asks quickly as I put the pills in the very back of the cabinet. He has anxiety depression and is basically traumatized from his father I say back his father? Daniel asked

I was now sitting on the counter top with daniel standing between my legs. Dani zach was acting like that because he doesnt know you and hes afraid He had those pills because I tell him not to take them unless I give them to him or say he can so he tries to sneak them once those pills are gone I cant help him I cang affkrd his meds anymore it makes me feel like a horrible father no wait I am a horrible father I work basically everyday im not there when he needs me I basically packed him up and drove to that hotel and bow I cant afford what hes depending on I mean sometimes I can even hear him crying himself to sleep and that I cant help that I cant get rid of those memories for him I say putting my head in my hands. Hey now your not a horrible father for one and two if I can ask why is he like this? Daniel says lifting my head up and rubbing my cheeks. ZA-zachs dad was a horrible person Dani he did bad things to zach very bad things that no person should have to go through his dad eben used to be such an amazing person and wouldnt lay a finger on zach but then he started drinking and his true colors started to show.it wasnt until a few years ago I lear-learned what eben mostly likly had done to zach i overheard him talking about it at his court hearing for another crime he did he bragged about touching him and beating him when ever I would go on business trips or something. It crushes me knowing that. I never asked zach about that stuff knowing itll make things worse but i know that's where the scar on zachs arm is from. I know deep down that my little boy was raped by his own father but I just dont wanna belive it. I say tears flowing from my eyes daniel whiped my eyes and kissed my salty lips. Daniel pulled putnhis phone and texted corbyn that he was going to be staying at my house tonight. I was glad daniel decided to stay with me i cant wait to cuddle tonight daniel gjves the best cuddles. Me and daniel make dinner apparently daniel and his kids eat dinner together almost everynight rather than me and zach most of the time I'm not even home for dinner and all I wonder is what zach eats nost of the time i bring him home something but hes usually asleep or refuses to eat it. Me and daniel set the table and i yell for zach to come downstairs. A few moments later zach came running down the stairs yes? He asked walking to me. Were gonna eat dinner I say leading him to the table. Not hungry he says sassily yes zach your gonna stay down here and eat dinner I sigh back. Zach didnstay downstairs and ate dinner with me and daniel but the downside was he wouldnt talk to daniel that much only a few words here and there. Can I leave now? He asks quietly looking at me sure I sigh and he ran off dashing right back up the stairs. Daniel said he would do the dishes but I refused for him to and just stacked them by the sink. After that it  was about 8:30pm I was pretty tired and had work early tommrow since it was Saturday and I usually work on Saturdays so me and daniel decide to go to bed. I went to tell zach goodnight while daniel made the bed. I kiss zach goodnight and tell him if he needs me tonight to come and get me or yell for me or something and not to feel embarrassed or something. After that I strip down to my boxers and crawl in bed with daniel  and we cuddle the rest of the night.
