Entry 13

Entry 14

Sorry about that, I’m very superstitious. Always have been don’t know why. I hate black cats and avoid ladders. Apparently, I get that from Drew. It’s funny watching him walk down a sidewalk avoiding the cracks and lines as we go. Tom always makes fun of him when he does it. Oh, guess you noticed that I didn’t say Mr. C. I figured if he was going to try and get use to me being his de-facto stepson I figured I’d meet him halfway. He has been spending more time with me since we sat down and discussed everything with each other. In a couple of hours, we are going to see his father. It’s a shame his mother died six months ago. Well we’re going to go see Pop-Pop now be back in a bit.

Entry 15

Pop-Pop is awesome! His house was very simple but it didn’t matter to him. He is kind and funny. He told us stories about Tom that had us in stitches. He also told us about how he ran away before coming out to Pop-Pop. So apparently, he likes to run instead of sitting down and talking about it. Daddy was the same way he’d always hop in the car and go for a drive to clear his head. Pop-Pop is also an awesome cook. He made a great pot roast with scalloped potatoes and fresh yeast rolls. I can’t remember the last time I had a meal that good. He also told me about the aunts and uncles I had as well as the plethora of cousins. It’s awesome that I have so many people for family now. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d have a family again.

After we got home we all sat down to watch some movies. While we were watching the movie, we chatted and I got the story of Drew and Tom met. They told me it was on a night when there was a tornado watch out. Tom had been driving around completely oblivious to the watch. He was on a dirt road when the funnel cloud starting to form when he pulled off the road into a bar. When he entered the bar, he wasn’t expecting such a hot, handsome stud (Tom’s word not mine) standing there in blue jeans and a wife beater. They started talking and hit it off. As the tornado got closer the owner of the bar herded everyone into the cellar where they spent most of the night. They agreed to meet up for drinks afterwards and got more comfortable after that. The rest of the story I had heard from Drew.

Well it’s time for bed now but tomorrow Phillip is coming over!

Entry 16

Today was so awesome and awkward. Phillip came over and spent the day with us. He fit right in with Tom and Drew. We spent most of the afternoon catching up and playing video games. I just don’t understand how he always beats the daylights out of me when we play Call of Duty. Phillip is kind of cute with his short brown hair and sapphire blue eyes. Shoot now I’m rambling on about how cute my best friend is. I’m not his type though, I don’t think. OK, time to stop thinking about his lips. Damn there I went again. I’m just going to chalk this up to my hormones. Anyway, after we got tired of video games we walked around the neighborhood as I showed around. He started going on about some cute boy that moved next door and for some reason I was jealous. What the hell is wrong with me??? After we got home Phillip got tom to take him home while I talked Drew. When I told him about me feeling jealous he just laughed at me and tried to explain that I was jealous because Phillip had other friends. But to be honest I don’t think that’s it either Phillip has had other friends, so that couldn’t be it, right? Maybe I’m just overthinking this. Knowing me I’m not one hundred percent either way. My head hurts, I think I’ll take a nap.

Entry 17

Well that nap didn’t help anything. I’m more confused than ever about Phillip. The dream was so weird one minute I was talking with Phillip, the next he was making out with some dude and I felt like killing him. The mystery guy, not Phillip. It was so freaking weird. I didn’t eat anything for dinner and barely talked. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
