Just Have Faith {COMPLETED}

Time Flies

My inner demons never thought to leave. They came in seeking shelter, disguised as something pure and innocent, then they made themselves comfortable and never left. They scare me with they're constant whispering and torment in my mind.
I want them all out, but in order to do that I'd have to open up my mind and look for them. It's like standing in a hallway with doors on either side. You have to open all the doors in order to find what your looking for. But the doors all hold a piece of your traumatic past. I'm not saying that you have a traumatic past but I do. Anyway. When you open one door, you have to go through all the bad memories. Then you have to go inside and hunt down the demon that's living there.
I'm too young too have this much on my plate. I play it off like nothing I'd wrong when my family is around. They can't know I haven't taken any of my medication since last year. Speaking of which......

*One year later*

Time. Time is such a delicate thing. Oh who am I kidding trying to be deep and meaningful? It's been a year. One year since my first investigation with Zak and the guys. One year since I started dating Dakota. I'm turning 18 in a couple weeks. Zak pulled me out of school after 'the public' found out that I went there. He told them that I was just his niece.

Just his niece. Funny how today they're telling the public eye that I'm his daughter

Two days ago we put a picture up on all of our social media saying 'quality time with my girl/ dad'. It was a picture of Zak and i's backs. We were walking the dogs and Dakota took the picture. We were also having a conversation and since i talk with my hands one of them is motioning to something. Our, specifically Zak's, Instagram comments were flooded within ten minutes of posting it.

I stand next to Zak as Dakota gets the microphone battery clipped to the back of my jeans. I hold my hair off to the side so he can see a little bit. Our relationship hasn't changed. We're a cute dorky couple that does weird things together. We've had a couple fights, we even ended it for a while but we came back stronger than ever. I learned from Patti to use my 'psychic abilities' for the good of our investigations. I've been to more investigations over the year. I made new friends and Matt opened up a bit more. He's made more friends as well. We all hang out in one big group. It's Matthew, Hailey, Allison, Damien, Adrian, and me. We sit and crack jokes, laugh, do homework, everything a typical teen would do in a cheesy commercial, too bad I can't go to school with them. Though when I do we party like animals.

We pitch in for booze and pizza. Matthew gets stuff to smoke too. I prefer smoking over drinking. After my past, I can barely stand the smell of booze. Zak would kill me if he ever found out I was smoking.

Zak's voice snaps me back into reality.

"This is a very special episode of Ghost Adventures. There is someone just off camera who I'll be introducing for the first time to the public eye. She's a big part of mine and the guys lives. I've kept her a secret for over a year and I think it's about time I introduce you to my wonderful daughter, Faith." He says.

I walk towards him and he hugs me.

"So this is my daughter, Faith. She's turning 18 in two weeks. She's just the best daughter I could ever ask for. So let's start off on how we met. Faith?" Zak says.

I turn to the cameras. Breathe Faith. This isn't the first time you've told your story.

"We first met when you almost hit me with your RV." I start "I was stumbling around the road, half blind and bleeding, when you thankfully stopped to help me. You guys helped clean me up and took me to a hospital. Skip ahead five months, I'm in a foster home talking to my best friend about how I know you, when you come into the room and tell me I was getting adopted. I was so happy to be adopted, especially by someone I really cared about. That's about it. You let me adopt Zeus and you bought me a cell phone and computer. You even let me get a boyfriend."
