Chapter Text
"Nervous?" says Hope as we're driving to my parents house. "I promise if things start to get bad... Really bad We'll just leave and I'll buy you the clothes you need" she says reassuringly while grabbing my hand and interlocking our fingers together.
After a 2 hr ride we finally arrive ... I'm nervous and Hope knows it, so she cups my face in her hands and kisses me gently on my forehead. I smile and tell her how much she means to me, before finally saying "Let's go, In and Out as fast as possible" as I'm opening the car door.
As relieved as possible I open the door and no one is home. Hope and I quickly run up to my room and start putting my clothes in bags we had brought with us. We were going as fast as we could. We brought a bag and a half down to Hope's car. Just when we thought we were in the clear a Golden colored Toyota Camry pulled into the driveway.
"Babe, he's here... We have to go" I say more and more panicked as the words come out of my mouth. "Kells I'm right here if you need me" she said quickly placing a kiss on my lips. When Dan comes in, he walks in with Erin. Erin immediately leaps into my arms and whispers into my ear "Is this her? Omg, she's Hot, you did good sis" with excitement in her voice. Why couldn't the rest of the family be like Erin, accepting, kind and well happy for me?
"I thought I told you to stay OUT OF MY HOUSE" he yells in pure anger. "Don't worry DAN, I came to grab the rest of my clothes and other belongings, so I'll gladly be out of your home for good, but trust me Dan, you'll miss me more than I'll miss you!" Dan didn't say anything he was shocked and maybe a little hurt with the fact I had just called him Dan and not Dad or Daddy.
I thought to myself how different things would be, but I knew Erin wouldn't disown me from her life, and as long as I had Erin and the love of my life (Hope) I knew I would be fine. I thought not calling Dan dad would hurt, but it didn't I was okay. I didn't feel sad that he wanted me out. I felt relieved I'd start a new chapter in my life... This wasn't the end, it was the beginning of something beautiful.
"With that I'll be leaving now" I say to him with a slight smirk, which must have set him off because before I knew it he was grabbing my arm in a rough manner that started to hurt. 'Ouch' I thought. "Stop it, that hurts!" I practically yell at him. Hopes steps in and grabs his wrist and says "If you were smart I'd let go before I kick your ass right here. Right now" in the most intimidating manner she could "I can have you on the floor in 2.3 seconds without breaking a sweat or I can call the cops on you, your call!" She says getting a bit angrier. He quickly let's go of my arm and with that I say "Let's go baby, we have Better things to do" looking back at Dan giving him a death Glare.
Erin opens the door and follows us out, closing the door behind her saying "I hope you keep in touch with me sis, I don't want to lose you, be safe please." Then she turned to look at Hope and says "Please keep her safe, I know... I can see how much you care about her, if you ever need anything give me a call. I will always be here... For both of you, I promise" and with that she gave us both hugs and made her way into the house....
We made it home after a good 2 hours and decided we would go straight to bed, it had been a long day. We could both use the sleep. Hope was waiting for me laying down. By the time I was making my way into bed she was out cold. I took in how adorable she looked, I layed on my side and said to her "One day Hope I promise you I'll marry you. You're going to be my wife and we're going to have mini you's. I promise" I kissed her forehead played down listening to her even breaths as I slowly drifted to sleep...
