Sugar & Spice

Trying

Since we'd be going to a fancy dinner and going to see a show on Broadway, I think it would be nice if I wore something nice. I changed my clothes before walking out of the bedroom. I stopped in the hallway when I heard Scott and Chris talking. Scott was showing him the pictures from today. I heard Chris chuckle at one of the pictures.
"At least she has fun with you" Chris said.
"Well that changes tonight. Me and Hayley had a little talk" Scott said you could basically hear the smirk in his voice.
"Scott-"
"Chris, I just want you two to get along. You'll be stuck with her for awhile so why not make the best of it" Scott said making me smile. I walked to the bathroom and straitened my long brown hair. I put on a pair of navy blue flats. I walked out of the bathroom and out into the living room. At the sound of footsteps Chris and Scott turned around. Scott smiled widely at my appearance. A smile slowly crept onto Chris's face. I could feel tears form in my eyes. I ran to Chris and wrapped my arms around him. I blinked away my tears as he wrapped his arms around my small body.
"I'm sorry I've been ignoring you lately. I'm sorry I've been rude" I said looking up into his blue eyes.
"It's alright, Hayley. I know how you feel" Chris said as a single tear rolled down his cheek, "now let's go have some fun."
"Let's do it!" I said happily. We had left the apartment and walked outside. The lights illuminated the streets. I was really excited. New York looks so pretty at night. I walked in the middle of Scott and Chris. I should really be grateful that Chris hadn't taken me to an orphanage. I was happy that I was with someone who loved my mother. I wonder what it would've been like if my mother was still here with us. We'd be a happy family? I always have dreamed of having a dad. I looped my arm with Chris and Scott's taking Chris by surprise. Maybe I need a little change. I don't like shutting people out. It hurts me and other people. We got to the theater for Aladdin and I was really excited. We got to our seats and Chris had gotten me a soda. By the time this show ends I'll probably have to go to the bathroom. When the show was over, we walked to the place Scott wanted to go to. I couldn't help but smile when I saw the menu. Fried Chicken! I got the fried chicken with bacon cheese fries. You can never go wrong with bacon. After we ate food we got desert and walked through Central Park. I was eating vanilla ice cream with rainbow sprinkles. I was actually having fun.
When we got back to the apartment I had gotten a shower then after the shower I changed into sweatpants and a sweater. I was scrolling through pictures of me and my mom. There was one where we were riding bikes and she almost fell. I looked at the pictures me and Scott took. I couldn't help but laugh at the one we took tonight. The picture was of me on Chris and Scott's shoulders. One leg on Scott's shoulder and other on Chris's. Both of them had a good grip on my so I didn't fall. Scott took a picture of me and Chris laughing while we walked down the street. There was a small knock on my door and I put the phone away.
"Come in" I said as the door opened and Chris poked his head in. He was wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt.
"Hey kiddo" he said smiling.
"Hey" I said awkwardly.
"Listen you don't have to pretend to be someone your not to make me happy" he said.
"That's not what I'm doing. I think it's time that I change and except that I'm living with the only person who didn't ditch me" I said, "besides Scott."
"Can I sit?" He asked.
"Of course" I said as he sat down next to me on the bed. Without saying anything I wrapped my arms around him and buried my face in his warm chest taking him by surprise once again, "I'm really sorry for being rude."
"It's fine, Hayley" he said wrapping his strong arms around my small frame, "you should get some rest." He started to get up but I quickly grabbed his wrist.
"Chr- I mean d-dad... Can you uh stay with me?" I asked hoping he wouldn't reject me.
"Of course" he said climbing into the bed with me. He wrapped his arms around me once more and pulled me close. It felt like I was home again. Back with my real dad. When I'd have nightmares he'd comfort me. Chris planted a soft kiss on my forehead and rubbed my arm slowly. I felt my eyes grow heavy and soon I was finding myself falling asleep.
