Adopted By Daveed Diggs

Chapter 4

Edited.

Ever since the incident, I've been more self conscious. I wore alot of looser clothes now and I tied my hair back. The cast has been worried, especially Daveed, but they don't say anything about my change in behaviour. It's been like that for 2 months, till today.

"Hey Gloria! Kiddo, come down here!", Daveed calls from downstairs.

I get off my bed puts on gym shorts and a white tank and I walk downstairs. I see him and the cast sitting around the living room, looking worried. I sit down and squirm at their stares.

"What's up?"

"We're worried about you chica." Anthony says.

"Yea, with all that's happened after the 'incident' so we were wondering if you were okay?", Renee asks, worried.

I bite my bottom lip, "No.. I'm still scared", The cast frowns softly.

I close my eyes as I start crying silently. Hot tears slid down my cheeks as I feel warm arms wrap around me. I open my eyes as I feel tears drip down my neck. I see all the cast crying and see Daveed hugging tightly. I slowly and hesitantly hug him back. Daveed pulls back and I see tears slid down his face as well.

"W-We made sure the man was arrested. T-There's nothing to fear. Your safe now." I tear up more and hug him, burying my face into his chest.

He hugs me back and we both keep crying. I hear the cast quietly leave, leaving us here. I pull back and look up at him. Then I do something risky-

"I love you daddy", He freezes and looks down at me.

(Anyone else still call their dad daddy? No? Just me? Okay..)

His eyes tear up as he kisses my forehead, "I love you too angel."

Hello angels! It's me, Mari. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I love you all! Bye!
