I moved the last box into this expensive a*s condo we don't need. It's only my dad and me , so I don't understand why he wants this big place for two people.

" It's apart of the job son, we need to play and look the part. Were already outsiders ,let's not shoot ourselves in the foot by being cheap!" says my dad.

{A/N : Owen is TK's dad for anyone who doesn't watch 9-1-1 lone star*

" I'm just trying to make sense of it all, I get I needed a change of scenery but taking a new job dad? A vacation would have sufficed just as well." I said rolling my eyes. I knew my dad was just trying to do what was best for me but sometimes I question his logic. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be alive though , so the least I can do is let him mother hen me for a month or two until I start looking for my own place. I know he was worried and he tried to keep me from seeing it in his eyes , but he can never hide anything too long from me. I guess I know where I get my emotionless tendencies from. We sit in the living room , facing this huge floor to ceiling window giving us a beautiful view of the city .This condo does have some perks though I thought to myself , I can get used to it for dad at least it's only for a month or two.

We sit in the living room right off of the kitchen sipping mineral water ( long story short, alcohol is not my friend) Dad asked me can he get a beer. " You okay with this?" he ask as he holds up the beer. I have to applaud him on how supportive he is , it's one of the main things I love about him. Even when I came out to him , he never made it a big deal . Unlike my mom hence the reason she is not in my life. " Yes dad , you are a grown man if you want a beer you get it" I said shrugging my shoulders trying to brush off his lecturing face as I was speaking. I knew if I would have said no he wouldn't drink it but I hate depriving him of anything so of course I would say yes to him. " Your not ready to talk deeply about it , so you're trying to play it off by pulling the logic card, I understand son. But you can just say you don't or aren't ready to talk about it instead of being a smart a*s" He said smirking which instantly made me feel better about everything.

Hours of TV was catching up to us fast , before I knew it my dad was getting up and telling me goodnight. He settled off to bed and I went into the bathroom inside my bedroom just to look at myself. I look the same but I could feel a weight lifted off of my shoulders by being in a new setting. Reality came crashing back down when I looked at my phone seeing the time *1:32 am* which made me haul a*s to bed knowing I have a shift tomorrow at the fire station. Hopefully everything goes well , but their is never a perfect day working with citizens.

I shut off the lights in the bathroom and my room and hop in bed. Sleep doesn't come as easy as I would like it too, but at least it comes right?
