Chapter 4
Elaine's p.o.v.
I straightened my hair, got dressed up in a dressy lacy shirt with my black skinny jeans and my good black high top converse. It was almost 5 o'clock. I started walking down the stairs to the kitchen, kissed my mother good bye and gave a kiss to my dad who just got here to give mom the check. "Where you going baby girl?" He asked looking me up and down. "On a date." I said. "A date? With who?" He asked. "Look how about you come meet him?" I said as I heard the doorbell ring.
"Hey Andy, this is my dad." I said almost throwing the door open. Andy shook his hand. "Nice to meet you sir," Andy Said. "You too son," My dad said. "What's your last name boy?" My dad asked. "Anderson." Andy said. "I don't know any Andersons. Who are your mom and dad?" My dad asked. "Derek and Stiles Hale." Andy said. "I'm adopted." Andy said. "Oh," my dad whispered. "Bye daddy, love you." I yelled as I got in Andy's car.
Andrew's p.o.v.
Elaine just sat there in silence. "I'm sorry about my dad." She suddenly said. "It must be nice." I whispered. "What?" She asked. "Having a mom and a dad. Sometimes I get embarrassed that I have two dads." I whispered. She turned in her seat so fast I didn't have time to block the hit or the smell of anger. I swerved, almost hitting the car in the other lane. I pulled up on the side of the road. She suddenly got out of the car. She started yelling. "How could you say that?! Never say something like that again!" She paused for a second. I could hear my family's heartbeat, they must have heard her. "I don't care." She whispered. I could already smell her tears. "I'm sorry" I whispered. "It's not so great having a mom and dad. Mine hate each other! Been divorced since I was two! They only just are starting to get along. Your parents love each other, and what is normal!? Normal is nothing. Your parents don't talk bad about one another. Your parents don't make you choose. Your parents don't take each other for granted. Your parents don't take you for granted." She finished "Don't take them for granted." She sobbed.
I could smell the confusion of my family. The sadness. "Do you want me to take you home?" I asked "No, I told you we'd watch Jane Eyre." She said. She slowly got back into the car. My family slowly retreated. I drove the rest of the way to my house, where my family was waiting on the porch. "Dad, Papa this is Elaine." I said. "It's lovely to finally meet you." My dad yelled hugging her. "You too." Elaine said. Oh no they're going to ruin this for me. There mad at me aren't they? No No No! "Andy?" Questioned Elaine's confused voice breaking my thoughts.
