Adopted

Good Day

  In front of me is the rest of Pentatonix, Esther, another girl, and Riley! Never did I think this was going to happen, I assumed it was just Mitch and I, but them doing this for me is even better. It's not a party, no, but them just being in front of me just to say something as little as 'Welcome home' is heart warming. They took time out of their lives just to welcome me home, what more could I possibly ask for? I don't think I could ask for anything more.

  "Thank you!" I was going to hug them, but I was tackled to the ground by someone else's body weight.

  "Riley, do not break her!" Mitch shouted. I knew he was only half serious, due to the fact, that he is now leaning on Scott so he doesn't fall down laughing.

  "Riley, I know you are happy to see me, but please, squishing me to death is not how you say "I love you" in my dictionary!" I was barely able to say all that clearly because of his weight pressing against me.

  "Riley, I thought you loved me! Okay, this relationship is over!" Right as the girl said that, Riley hopped off me and sprinted over to the girl. I did not know he could run so fast, he should be the Flash.

  "What?! No no no no. She is a good friend, yes I love her, but not like I love you! Please don't!" He begged. She's obviously kidding. Hmm, so I guess I know who Riley's girlfriend is and he told her he loves her, yes!

  "You do know I'm kidding right?" She said laughing. Riley then grumbled something under his breath, that I could not understand, and walked over to the couch. He sat on the couch pouting and crossing his arms like a little kid who didn't get their candy.

  "Okay-" I was cut off by a loud shout.

  "Group hug!" Obviously Scott. Riley immediately jumped off the couch and came to join the group hug. While everyone was hugging as a group, I was being squished to death, again!

  "Guys, I still have a long life ahead of me! I need to live, to find love, get a job, and more things I need to do in life. I can't die today, I'm so young! Save the child!" Yes, I can be very dramatic. I'm pretty sure me being very dramatic has been proven already, has it not?

  "Don't kill my daughter! I just adopted her!" Mitch shouted over all the people.

  "I'll save her!" I was then picked up by strong arms and held up into the air.

  "I'm flying! Look at me Dad, I'm flying." Hold the phone! Did I just say 'Dad'? Oh my gosh, I did! That just slipped out, I didn't mean for it to happen. Everyone in the room stared at me smiling. Dad was jumping up and down, like an excited child. Even the person who was holding me up stopped dead in their tracks. Hold on, who is holding me up? I looked down to see a smile. It was Scott.

  "Hello." He said looking up, I just waved. And finally after that, that's when Dad lost it.

  "She called me Dad!" He said still jumping up and down with a huge smile evident on his face.

  "And I recorded it!" Riley's girlfriend said looking proud of herself. I just remembered, I'm still being held up in the air by Scott.

  "I'm still flying!" I shouted, putting my arms out like Super Man. Oh yeah, I'm awesome, I know. Just kidding, just kidding.

  "Are you wearing any valuable clothing?" Scott asks.

  "Uh, let me just take me phone and earbuds out of my pocket?" I sounded confused because I do not know what is going on. I carefully reached my hand into my pocket and grabbed my phone and earbuds and handed them to Kirstie. "Okay, that's all that I value." Scott nodded. I heard an "oh no", what does that mean? I was soon outside and heading towards the pool, I now understand what that "oh no" was. Help!

  "No no no, it's going to be cold! Dad, Father, somebody save me! I'm going to die, Scott is going to kill me! I'm still too young!" I then noticed that I wasn't the only one going to be thrown into the pool. "Dad, you're supposed to save me, not go with me!"

  "Well, sorry, for being light enough for Kevin and Avi to hold me!"

  "Okay, 3, 2, 1!" We were both thrown into the pool, creating a huge splash.

  "Father save me!" Okay, so I really can't swim. I was not joking when I said "Scott is going to kill me!" I was never taught to swim, it's kind of sad. "Dad I'm not joking, I can't swim!" I was running out of the air. Could Scott not have thrown me a little closer to the edge? I'm in the middle of the pool and it's huge!

  "I'm coming!" This is when I could not stay up to the surface. My vision was only blurred now, but I did see legs or something. I then felt two arms wrap around me. "Scott, you are in big trouble for almost killing my daughter!"

  "Oh my gosh, I am so sorry. I didn't know you couldn't swim, I apologize. I feel so bad now, I'm sorry." Scott looked like he was on the verge of tears. I then, with the help of my Dad, got out of the pool.

  "Scott, it's okay. You didn't know that would happen. I forgive you,
everything's alright" I then hugged him. I did have other plans with that hug, though. In a way it was to lock him in his position, so he would be weak enough for me to throw him in the pool. He hit the surface of the water with a loud splash.

  "You traitor!"

  "Hey, I said I forgave you, never did I say I was not going to throw you in the pool! Just be happy that I grabbed your phone before I pushed you in!" I flipped my hair to emphasize and then walked into the house.

  "How did you-?"

  "Skills, my friend, skills!" That was fun. I still have Scott's phone in my hand. I'll just give it to Dad.

  "Dad!"

"What?" Dad said coming out of his room with his hair still dripping.

  "I have Scott's phone and I don't know what to do with it, so I thought to just give it to you," I explained handing him the phone.

  "How did you even manage-"

  "Just ask Riley's Girlfriend, I'm pretty sure she recorded it all."

  "Okay."

  "Well, I'm going to go clean up myself. I just need to know where my room is."

  "Oh right! Follow me!" He said walking up the stairs and he then made a right turn. "Right here!" He said in a very posh accent.

  "Oh, my gosh! It's beautiful, I love it! Thank you! I will hug you when I am dry."

  "Yes, you love it! Okay good, you go get cleaned up and I shall wait for the hug." He said walking out of my room and closing the door.

  30 minutes later, I am chasing Dad all around the house, trying to give him his hug.

  "C'mon! I need to give you your hug, you said you were going to wait for it! Why you running from it now?!" I shouted still running and chasing him. I saw Scott at the end of the hallway, so I already knew what he was going to do. Right, when Dad was going to turn the corner Scott grabbed him.

  "Scott, this is not how our friendship is supposed to work! You help my side, not her side!" Dad shouted moving his legs back and forth, trying to run away. It was an amusing sight to behold, to be honest.

  "C'mon, Skyler, here is your chance to hug him!"

  "I am coming!" I said in a singing voice. I then ran up to Dad and hugged him. "My job here is done." And with that I walked away.

  For the rest of the night, everyone was in the living room getting to know more about me and watching movies. At some point, everyone has to leave. So I said "bye" to everyone but Scott and Dad, of course. I was now in bed and being bid goodnight from Dad and Scott.

  "Today was a good day," I said getting comfortable in my bed.

  "That it was, now you have a good rest, okay?" He said tucking me in more.

  "Yup." Before I knew it, I was out like a light.

  "Goodnight, sweetie."
