A New Beginning

Chapter 5

"I swear to God, I will kill that asshole."

BOOM

"If only." Alex rolled his eyes as more 'booms' went off. We were currently having father, daughter bonding time.

"Pull!" I aimed and shot at the orange clay, watching it exploded and fall. I turned towards Alex as we started walking off the lanes, being done with our 25 rounds. Alex getting 23/25, and I had gotten 24/25. "Dad?" Alex looked at me.

"Yes Munchkin?" I rolled my eyes, after all of these years he kept that silly nickname.

"That day at the orphanage. . . what compelled you to adopt me?" I had to take a breath, I've sightly always wondered why, and finally I had asked.

His eyes had widen at my question, and he took a breath intake. You can hear the sound of shot guns being fired all around, as people yelled 'pull!' He had us go sit by a bench, than closed his eyes. He leaned his head back.

"I was on my way to adopt a kid, I figured I could take care of them for a few days then give them back. It was just for my image I'll admit. So I went and talked to Andrea, and she agreed, saying we should get a girl. I knew she hoped that we would keep the kid, but I honestly didn't. I remember that day so clearly, when I got there, the lady, god I can't remember her name, talked my ear off about all these well behaved girls. That's when I saw you, there was this little spark in you and I knew that you were different. So I asked about you. She tried talking me out, telling me about other little girls," he ruffled my hair, and I stuck my tongue out. He made the fly aways worse, "So I made it official, you were my daughter. As I was so excited. But I remembered that I had planned to give you back, but I just knew with one look, you were my child blood did not matter." By the end of it I was crying. Moments like these were my favorite, just me and dad. Logan and Andrea were having their time together, but in that moment I could care less.

"You wouldn't of been able to get rid of me so easily," I wiped tears from my eyes.

"No I wouldn't and I wouldn't change it for the world," He kissed my forehead, as I hugged him. That's when We had to go back up again to shoot. So we did.

"Logan?" I heard a 'hmm' from him as we laid looking at the stars. We were sitting on the rooftop, my head laying on his stomach, him laying on his back. I got up, and so did he. I looked into his hazel eyes, as the moon light shined on his brown hair. I smiled remembering how I referred to his hair as chocolate. I was on my period and really craving it.

"Do you ever wonder why our parents gave us up? Were we too much for them? Who are they? What do they look like? Do they ever think about us?" He tilted his head.

"Why are you thinking about that Blake?" I shrugged.

"I've always wondered it," With that I laid back down, as did he. A few moments later, Logan broke the silence.

"No matter what I'll always be your brother right Blake?"

"Of course Logan."

"You'll always love me right?" I was starting to worry.

"Logan is everything alright?" I heard him take a breath.

"I'm gay."

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

I smiled at Logan and Tyler, as they talked with each other. I remember the day I found out that Logan was gay, I had hugged him and told him it's okay, and he's still my brother. I then told him we can talk about hot guys together, to which he laughed. Logan and Tyler were truly amazing. I then felt a tug on my arm and saw Jordan's face. I stuck my tongue at me, I got a chance to see his gray eyes brightened as he laughed, he leaned in and whispered, "Come on Blakely, let's leave the two love birds alone," I looked over to see them kissing, so I looked back at Jordan and nodded.
