Ryan

“Is that really you?" Jimmy asks, after pretty much calling me out in front of the entire school.

Jimmy had finished up his speech and come right over, hopping off the stage. Someone else walks over now and lets him know it’s almost time to go sign stuff.

“Yeah, I’ll be right there. I just have to say hi to an old friend first,” he says, and the guy walks off. He turns back to me.

He’s just like I remember, even if he looks different. Making sure I'm not forgotten by the wayside. The fame hasn’t gone to his head at all. He’s still just the same old Jimmy, talking to his best friend.

I'm talking to my best friend from high school, and I'm introducing him to my new family.

“Jimmy, this is my girlfriend, Krista.” I turn around and put my arm around her.

“Nice to meet you,” Jimmy says. He shakes her hand.

“Nice to meet you too,” she says, blushing. It reminds me of the night we met and how she refused to meet my eyes. And how I refused to meet hers.

“And who is this little guy?" Jimmy bends down to look at Miles. "You must be Ryan’s son, am I right?”

I can tell he's totally just trying to be nice to Miles. But I see the look come over Krista's face because neither of us knows how Miles is going to answer that question. Like I said, it's something we haven't talked to him about. It's not even something me and her have really talked about yet.

"Ryan is my new dad," Miles says. And my heart stops right when he says that. Krista's mouth falls open, and her hands immediately come up to her face to cover her mouth.

The way he just said that so matter-of-factly.

It surprised me and caught me off guard. But it feels damn great to be called a dad. For Miles to consider me his dad.

I always just kinda thought maybe he considered me a best friend or something. I think Jimmy notices the looks on our faces because he stands up and he looks awkward as hell, like he just said the completely wrong thing.

"Honey, why don’t we come over here and look at these posters? Maybe we can buy one for Ryan's friend to sign."

Miles is already running away to pick a poster.

Jimmy straightens up and looks at me. "Sorry, is he not—I just assumed—” he starts, but I hold up my hand. "No, don't worry about it. You didn't know."

I look over at Krista and Miles. She's kneeling down with him, and they’re looking at those posters like this is the most important decision in the world. And of course, because it's Miles, it is.

"We just moved in together, actually. I met her like three months ago now?" I look at Jimmy, and he looks back at me.

He nods. "They’re beautiful, man. Are you happy?” he asks.

And for the first time in a long time, I can answer yes to that question. “Never been happier,” I reply.
