I had two best friends Nick Dakoson and Adam Everhart. Both just turned 18 back in April and also on the football team. Nick was the quarterback as Adam was the halfback. We were what you call inseparable. If they were not at my house I was at one of theirs. Adam was 6‘1, 223 lbs, with short black hair and brown eyes. As Nick was native american 6‘2 243 lbs shoulder length jet black hair and brown eyes. They were always treated like twins in their families being born the exact same day just a few hours apart.
They were cousins in fact first and got along great. They never fussed over me as I felt like a brother to them. They shared a cousin that they never liked so they took it upon themselves to be that cousins, but more as brothers. Adam’s dad Tim was a accountant plus did the stock market. He showed me at 14 on how to double my money. He helped me by starting me off with 10 grand in which in three months back then I paid him off. I learned quickly and invested wisely. I think I was making more a day then my own parents. I kept working as in not letting my family know about my money. Like I said I was a smart guy and started to take care of myself since my father was being a douche about my family helping me out.
I had two other friends named Wayne Jeffers who was 18 as was Daryl Flakeson. They were not on the football team. Wayne was 6‘3, 230 lbs, short brown hair and brown eyes as Daryl was 6‘1, 215 lbs, short blonde hair with blue eyes. Both of them were like the outlaws of the school, but took to Nick, Adam, and I. We hung out on weekends with them. They shortly became good friends.
It was May and it brought the prom for our school. It was going to be one cool night. George had gotten Nick, Adam, and I some used cop cars that were out of date for the police department. He taught us how to drive like he did. He was a cool father to Nick as well as a cop for the police department. He also taught Nick, Adam, and I how to shoot both handgun’s plus rifles. He wanted us to protect ourselves in case of danger. Like I said he was cool. Both Adam and Nick’s families took me in as their own.
I felt a lot more love from their parents then I did mine. My family started telling me i was annoying in every sense of the word. So I began hanging out at my friends then at home a lot more. Their parents I guess felt bad for me as they knew my parents. Susan and Chelsea were what my mother was years before. They would greet me with a hug and ask how I was every time I was at either Adam or Nick’s house. I loved my other family as they actually treated me as one of them.
I spent that week before prom shopping around for some nice clothes. I bought some slacks, a polo shirt and nice shoes. I wanted to impress a girl to maybe like me. Also that week my family seemed to be excited that I would be out of the house on Friday. I just shrugged it off as they always seemed excited when I left the house. I made sure my car was cleaned out and polished. I smiled as I could see myself smile back as my car shined.
Friday finally came with the whole school in a up roar about the prom. Nick, Adam and I are so ready for tonight. As the last bell rings I get up leaving the classroom to go meet my brothers. I caught up with them at my locker as theirs was just a few down from me.
“ Hey Matt you ready for tonight?” Adam asks as I smile with a nod
“ Yep it’s going to rock.” I say as they both chuckle
“ Well it better as we will be there.” Nick says as Adam and I laugh
“ Hey guys what’s up.” Wayne says coming up behind me
“ Hey Wayne not much just talking about the prom. So are you and Daryl ready?” Adam states asking as both Daryl and Wayne laugh
“ No we are not going as we have other plans.” Daryl says giving me a wink before him and Wayne walk off giving me a pat on my back
“ Ok what the hell was that all about?” Adam asks as I shrug
“ I have no idea bro. So where we eating at before prom?” I ask as they smile
“ Actually the moms are cooking us dinner. They said their kids are going to eat right.” Nick says as Adam and I chuckle
“ So we’re going to your place?” I ask as Nick nods
“ Yep as Adam has his clothes in my car to change into after dinner.” Nick says as Adam nods
“ Well like I said tonight is going to rock. I love my adoptive mothers cooking.” I say as Adam and Nick agree
“ Ok enough talk about food let’s go as we have to get ready and all.” Nick says to us as we laugh
“ True as we know you take your time.” Adam says as I laugh
“ Hey it’s called shaving you asshole.” Nick says with a smile
“ Oh does that what you call it.” I say as Adam busts out laughing
Nick looks at me as I grin before he puts me in a head lock and missing up my hair before letting me go.
“ You smart ass your better be glad I love you as a brother.” Nick tells me as I smile nodding
“ True, but I am your smart ass….smart ass.” I say as Nick just laughs as we make our way out through the school doors
Adam rides with Nick as I get in my car. Once we leave the parking lot I follow Nick to his parents. I put in my favorite cd that Nick had gotten me for Christmas. I jam out on the way as I see Nick playfully flips me off as I do the same back. I see him and Adam both laughing as I chuckle. Once we turn down the street he lives on I look in the distance to see both families parked in the drive as we pull up in front. Once parked I get out as does Nick and Adam. Adam grabs his bag as I grab mine. Nicks parents have a big 4 bedroom house. Adam and I have our own rooms. We go in and are welcomed by happy faces. Susan and Chelsea come to me and like always give me hugs and kisses on each cheek.
“ How are you son?” Susan asks as I smile
“ I am doing good Momma Susan and you?” I answer only to ask as she smiles
Susan is Nick’s mother and a beautiful woman. She is Cheyenne as George is apache. Susan is 40, 5‘9, 124 lbs keeping herself in shape, She has long black hair and brown eyes.Chelsea is 41, 5‘6 115 lbs and is as beautiful as Susan. She has long brown hair and brown eyes. I love them as my own mothers as they treat me better.
“ I am good honey just worry about you.” She answers as Chelsea nods in agreement
“ I am ok really don’t worry ok.” I say as they both lead me further into the living room
I take a seat on the couch as George and Tim are in the chairs. Susan and Chelsea sit on either side of me as Adam and Nick take seats on the bar stools that separates the kitchen. We all talk for about a hour until the moms get up to go start dinner. It’s nice as George talks about taking us guys to the shooting range over the summer to see what we could do. I smile saying I would be so ready to have a chance to improve my skills. George smiles back liking what I told him. It’s around 5 p.m. that I get up and get ready grabbing my bag. I go to the room that has been mine for so many years and get ready. I strip down placing my clothes on the bed. I open my bag and take out my new ones. I smile hoping they will help me find a nice girl who will want to be with me. After I get dressed I put on a little cologne then a whole lot. I make my way down getting whistles from the moms as they get chuckles from their husbands.
“ Damn Matty look at you honey. Some girl will be lucky to have such a handsome man.” Chelsea says as Susan nods
“ Thanks Momma Chelsea as I hope so, but if I did catch a young woman I am sure Kelsey and Jennifer will scare her off.” I say with some sadness
“ Matt that is when you don’t let them. You need to tell them to back off as you are not their boyfriend. Shoot your their brother and need to have love in your life.” Susan tells me as I nod knowing she is right
“ I know it’s just.” I try to say as momma Chelsea cuts me off
“ It’s just nothing honey. You should of had a steady girlfriend by now. If Tim and I had a daughter I would want her to be with you.” Chelsea tells shocking me
“ Same here Matt as we love you and she would surely love you.” Susan says as I see George and Tim nod their heads
“ Well I wish you both did then I would have two girlfriends to love.” I say getting laughs
“ Now that would be something to witness, but I think it would work as they would no doubt be with you always son.” George says as they all smile at me making me have a warm feeling in my heart
“ Thank’s as you don’t know how much that means to me, but I have a feeling the knucklehead’s would object.” I say pointing up the stairs
“ Matt our sons love you to death. I think they both would be very happy knowing their sisters were with their best friend who is a brother to them.” Chelsea says as I really feel a warm feeling doubled
“ Ok now enough of that talk before I go find two girls to adopt to be daughters just to have them be with Matty.” Tim says getting laughs
Susan and Chelsea return to the kitchen as I return to the couch to see a glass of tea waiting for me. George, Tim and I talk while waiting on dinner. It’s about 5:45 p.m. when Nick and Adam come down to join in on the conversation. I chuckle as both took their time.
“ Ok Adam what was that comment about Nick taking his time?” I ask as he looks at me with wide eyes before laughing
“ Smart ass and don’t you dare say it or I will give you a wet willy.” Adam says as the dads laugh
“ I take it he commented on my son’s long showers?” George asks as I nod
“ Yep you may say that.” I state as they laugh
My brothers come over to sit by me as we wait for dinner. It’s nice to be around my other family. I love them a lot as they have been a part of my life for so many years. It’s a few minutes later that my eyes are covered by a pair of soft hands.
“ Guess who?” The familiar voice says as I her the guys chuckle
“ Um let’s see Cinderella?” I ask as I her giggles
“ No guess again.” She says as I smile
“ Um Mary Poppins.” I answer as I hear laughter
“ Nope as I don’t have a umberella one more chance baby boy.” She tells me as I grin
“ My most beautiful god mothers as they love me.” I say as the hands move as I tilt my head up to see two sets of eyes looking down at me
“ We’ll take that answer as it’s true. Now come on as dinner is ready.” Chelsea says as I smile
