Ok, seriously, point blank, falling in love sucks. Its like oblivion, and quoting the great august water (or john green, they are the one and same to me) “its unavoidable”. But is the feeling of losing that person that is terrifying, it paralyzes you. And that is where I find myself, paralyze, with my heart in my hand without a clue what should I do. The door of my room open and I look at the image of my father. Tears sting my eyes as I get up from the floor and run to the man’s arms.

“hey there princess, what is bothering that pretty head of yours?” he said kissing my head. my father was an asshole but there is was one good thing that came with been part of his family, his twin brother, the only father figured in my life.

I burry my face in his chest, and cried, funny how the only father figure I had was a copy of the man that was supposed to act like a father.

“ok you want to talk to uncle Bay about it?” uncle Bayron or bay walked me toward the bed. He sat down and I lay in the bed with my head on his lap.

“what got my little girl- my strong, beautiful little girl- so upset?”

“it’s a mix of things uncle, mom and dad, my new siblings , Devon abandon me, and Marcus and I are fighting. I don’t know what to do, I'm confuse, I'm hurt, and I'm in love” I said whipping the fresh tears that keep faling.

“ok listen to me D-bomb” I laugh as the childhood nickname “first your mother and father’s problems are not yours, understood? You are a victim that got caught in the cross fire”

“I don’t like the idea of been a victim” I said frowning

“ha I bet you don’t. second oyur siblings like you are not at fault in this, they are as innocent as you are”

“ha I don’t think you know be very well uncle” I said thinking a innocent girl would had never mess with a guy like Marcus, didn’t matter how gorgeous he was, she would had stay away. I dint.

“that is beside the point. Why you say Devon abandon you?”

“because he was here one day and gone the next, not even a note, not words, he hasn’t even gone to school in 2 weeks. I'm worry uncle really worry”

“maybe he had some things to figure out”

“like what”

Uncle bay chuckle before kissing the side of my head “my beautiful innocent girl” he said.

“now who is this Marcus? And are you talking about him when you said you are in love?”

I nodded, yeah love sucks.

“tell me about him”

“he is a medicine student at the university”

“nice”

“he is sweet, protective. You know I had and accident and he patch me off, he took care of me. and the next time he wanted to help me I treat him like shit… god I'm horrible, I'm just like my father”

“now you listen here Daniella Marie Steel.” The way he said my name made me sit up and look at him “you are nothing like my brother” he brush some hair of my face “you are sweet, smart, funny and love by so many people. You will never be like him, ever. My brother is bitter, he is sad, angry. Not you will never be like him, I will not allow it” he said his hands framin my face, he kiss my forehead. “now the question is, as sweet and protective as Marcus is, is he worth fighting for?”

“yes” I said without thinking it.

“than what are you doing? I have never know my niece to sit and let things go by, she figths with teeth nails and heart. and that is what makes me proud to call her mine. You are my niece, my daughter because I love you like a father”

“thank you” I said between new tears.

“ok, rest, tomorrow you can go and get your boy” he said with a smile before getting serious again “but I better ben meeting this guy soon”

Uncle bay remove the cover and tuck me in like when I was little.

“I will stay until you fall sleep, sounds good”

“yes”

I felt sleep with his hand rubbing my back, but not deep enough to not heard him.

“someday soon”
