Dear Dad,
So it's been a crazy this past 5 years with the Jonas Family after mom died. I'm now 12 years olds now turning 13 soon, can't you believe that I'm almost a teenager now dad? I've been living with Mr. and Mrs. Jonas for about a couple years now because you know mom and them been friends for years. I hope you don't mind because I started calling them mom and dad now since they adopted me into their family. My mom has known the Jonas Family since high school, and they agreed to looked after me in case something happens to mom when she was gone. I'm gonna miss you a lot dad, Mrs. Jonas said it was okay to mail you something from jail every once in a while. Mr. Jonas doesn't, he still pissed at what you did to mom, that's why Mrs. Jonas and I are sneaking this letter to you, because if Mr. Jonas finds out he won't ever let me write back to you anymore. I know you have done awful things to mom in the past, and I know I shouldn't be writing to meet you, but my social worker have suggested it, but Papa J declined it without giving me a say so. All I want to know is why you didn't want me... that's all I want. Well if you do get a chance to write back, I hope it's really soon because I want to know what you look like, and know more about your side of the family, that I don't already know.

Melissa's POV
My brother Frankie was leaving for college today, beside my other brothers the two of us are really close. Even tho we always bicker with each other; I'm gonna miss him a lot. It's gonna be lonely with just me and my parents now, but I'm sure we can all make things work out.

I headed down the stairs with my letter to my birth father, and found my mom their, but Joe was here as well. I've been calling Mrs. Jonas after a year my mother died. I know she will never replace my real mother, but she has been their for me since birth just like Mr. Jonas and she has always been like a second mother to me. Joe and I are really close too, in fact he always wanted a little sister and he's super over protective of me then my other 3 older brothers.

Melissa: hi Joe! *hugs him* what are you doing here?
Joe: helping Frankie moved in too his dorm
Melissa: is it just you here?
Joe: Nick is here as well, Kevin couldn't make it, Alena is sick at home
Melissa: oh okay, at least you and Nick are here *smiles* hey mom
Denise: yes sweetheart
Melissa: um... I finish my letter to my dad
Denise: oh... does your father know?
Melissa: *shakes head* no I rather not tell him, I don't want this whole thing to upset him
Denise: sweetheart you're gonna have to let daddy know
Melissa: he will be crushed when he finds out I'm still keeping in contact with my birth father. He's the only father figure I have right now and I don't want this issue to ruined what he have together
Joe: I'm sure dad will understand
Melissa: not really, my bio mother didn't even want me to keep in contact with my birth father because of what he did to her, what makes you think dad will be okay with this? Both of them have forbidden me for talking about my father
Denise: well your father was very protective over your mother
Melissa: have they ever dated?
Denise: no, your mother told me that Paul always treated her like an older brother, nothing more. Remember she's an only child
Melissa: I know, that's why I was dump here, no offense mom
Denise: none taken
Joe: Dad also don't like it when his kids keeps secrets from him. Do you know how hard it was for him when the Jonas Brothers broke up? And how none of us spoke to each other for months, it tore him apart
Denise: look at me sweetheart, your mother and him were best friends growing up, he may not like your dad because of what he did to your mother growing up, but I'm sure he will understand why you would want to keep in contact with him
Melissa: I don't know, I'm just scared to confront Daddy. I don't want him to be upset with me because I want to keep in contact with my birth father. He will always be my father, I will not let that man take that away from him. Papa J has always been their for me since birth, he treated me like his own daughter and your family welcomed me with open arms and treated me like a sister.. I won't let that man take the 5 years away from us that we had spent together as a family.
Denise: I know I'm not your bio mom sweetheart, but if your real mom was here, she would understand and be so proud of you
Melissa: thanks mom, she would be proud of you too for dealing with all of this, and mostly me. I know I can be a bit hard headed sometimes, but I really do care for you
Denise: sweetheart, all my boys give me hard time but that doesn't mean I love them any less. I have always wanted a daughter and I'm thankful I have you *kiss top of her forehead*
Melissa: *smiles* thanks mom
Denise: anytime baby
