I have a Dad. Not a mum. Just a Dad. I have a great Dad actually. And to anyone thinking your last name is Hope what do you mean you have a good Dad, well I'll explain.

10 years ago, my mum died in a car accident, I don't really remember much about her because of that but I do remember after her funeral that something in my Dad clicked.

Like in that moment he decided he was gonna step up and be a better person. In honour of Mum. So now he works at our schools library, I think it also makes him feel better that I'm friends with Madi.

I don't know the full story but Dad always says the thing he regrets the most about how he used to be was how he treated Nick and Charlie. Especially Charlie. So I know it means a lot that Madi actually really likes my Dad. In fact she's his library assistant, so she'll help him out every now and then at lunch. Once Dad showed me a list of people he wants to apologise to, and attempt to make amends with, Nick and Charlie are at the very top of the list.

Another thing that helps my Dad feel better even though he'd never admit it is that I'm Lesbian. He was the second person I ever came out to. The first person being my older brother Scott but we will get to him later.

Right now I'm laying on my bed staring at my phone as I text Stacy Heaney. The prettiest girl on earth. Me and her have been talking all summer and I have the biggest Crush on her in all of existence.

My heart stops.

Did Stacy Fucking Heaney just ask me out for dinner at night. Holy shit.

What do I say? If I say yes she'll now I like her and if I say no she'll think I hate her. What if she doesn't like what I wear. What if I hate the food. What if....

My brain is running at the speed of sound right now as I jolt off the bed and start pacing around my room. Fuck what do I say.

I type out about three messages and delete them before I finally settle on a nice and simple response about 10 minutes later.

God I'm going out to dinner with Stacy Heaney tomorrow night. What am I going to wear? Holy shit. I run over to my bed and scream into my pillow, to which Dad bursts in the room looking like he was expecting there to be an intruder. His clear glasses are on crooked and his hair is askew.

But when he sees my cheeks red as roses he stops and smiles leaning against my dresser slyly. As he grins, "What's got you all smiley." My smile grows as I sit up on the bed hugging a heart shaped pillow I've had since I was about five.

"Stacy and I safe going out for dinner together tomorrow!" I squeal as Dad quickly walks over to my bed sits down and hugs me placing the book in his hand down next to me.

"That's great Baby!" He says squeezing me tightly his voice filled with pride. I know how proud he is of me that I'm so confident and loud about my sexuality, "But I have a question, Does Stacy know that I'm your Dad?" He mumbles ashamed.

I sigh if Dad is asking that question it means one thing. He screwed over someone related to her, and it was probably Imogen. Imogen might be the sweetest lady I have ever met. She is always bubbly and bright and loves having me over.

She also was at the funeral for my Mum and told Scott and I if we ever needed someone to talk to about what had happened to us in the past few days that she would always be there. At that funeral Scott was really just protective of me, he changed to after Mum died. I know why to. Scott was in the car. And I think he finds himself guilty that he lived and she didn't.

I wish there was a way to show him it's not his fault but he still believes it was. I looked over at Dad and shook my head, "What did you do to Imogen." Dad grumbled something and ran a hair through his tousled hair.

"Imogen is my Ex girlfriend." Dad mutters under his breath as I stare at my lap and shake my head muttering the words it's okay.

He looks at me confused wondering why I am fine with this as he retorts to himself, "No it's not. It's not fair that people shouldn't like you just because I fucked up in my youth." Dad says emotion flooding his voice as he walks to my door, "I'm sorry this is all my fault." And without even letting me reassure him that I wasn't mad at him he leaves the room gently closing the door behind him.

I sigh flopping backwards on my bed groaning as I kick my feet and stare at the ceiling my bonded hair a halo around my head. Ugh life is so confusing.
