Break This Down [D3]

12 - Bridgette

Bridgette's POV

As more kids came across the bridge with a huge paper dragon, I caught sight of my father. With a smile on my face, I raced into his arms, nearly tackling him to the floor. He caught me and cried into my hair.

"I'm so sorry." He sobbed, holding me tight. I laid my head on his shoulder and shook my head at him.

"It's okay." I sniffed, crying happy tears.

"Why are you crying?" He asked, wiping my cheeks.

"I finally made it." I sobbed. "We're finally here."

I gestured to all the kids, taking in their new surroundings with wide eyes. Harry's eyes met mine and I pulled away from my dad to hug him.

"We made it." I told him, kissing his cheek.

"You did it." Harry beamed, wrapping his arm around my waist. "Now, don't be rude, love. Introduce me to your father."

With a genuinely happy smile, I lead my boyfriend over to my father.

"Dad, this is my boyfriend Harry." I introduced. "Harry, this is my father."

"Nice to meet you." Dad said, puffing his chest out.

"Likewise." Harry nodded, shaking his hand.

"You take care of her?" Dad asked.

"Someone had to." Harry quipped. Dad sucked in a breath and I sighed.

"That's fair." Dad nodded, smiling down at me. "I like him."

"B!" Gil shouted, running over to me. "Jay and I are going exploring! Jungles and icebergs."

"I'm so glad." I smiled, hugging him. "You deserve to see as much of the world as possible, you absolute bean."

"I love you, B." Gil smiled, pulling Harry and I to Evie and Uma. I waved at my father and laughed as Gil dropped my arm and ran off again.

"Mal came through." Uma commented, smiling at the purple haired girl.

"She always does." Evie nodded.

"So, she's definitely taken?" Harry asked, pointing at Mal.

"Definitely." Evie stated, making Harry huff.

"So is Evie." A boy with long hair said as I elbowed Harry.

"What's my name?" I asked, glaring up at my boyfriend.

"Bridgette." He answered, leaning in for a kiss. I dodged it, making Uma laugh. He grabbed my hand and spun me, laughing as he did so.
