As Along Its About Me

Dear Jane,

I know that we just met, but I wanted to write this letter to you. When your mother told me that I’m your dad. I’m not going to lie, it freaked me out a bit. The reason it freaked me out a bit, is because I was scared, I was going to be like my dad and be the most, terrible father and well, I made a promise to myself that I’m going to be the best dad to you, promise. Sure, I own a comic bookstore and it means a lot to me, but not like you mean a lot to me. You’re more important than some comic bookstore. Businesses can be rebuilt and be replaced but, I can’t replace you and I can’t replace you.

I want you to make a promise me, alright? Don’t let anyone dim your light or they might be answering to someone. Me, and your moms, and your family. This is the order that they would be answering, your family, your moms, and me, and then my family. You’re going to be taking this world by storm when you get older and I know, deep down, you’re going to do AMAZING things and you can bet I will be right there, cheering you on. Every step of the way. I want you to remember these words, Nevertheless, She Persisted. The reason why I told you remember those words, is because if ANYONE tries to stop you, either if it’s family or someone close to you, show them your accomplishments and your voice, because you’re going to be making huge accomplishments. You’re going places Jane Evans, and I am so utterly happy to witness that little spark that you have already.

You will never, EVER, lose me.

With love,

spencer: it's no problem, i'm glad you came, jane loved the stuff you got her. well, my grams and pops are still in town and they really want to see jane one last time before they go so i'm letting her stay with them for new years. i was gonna go to merecede's party. it's been a long while since i've actually gone out.

Deciding to move in the middle of the bloody winter was a horrible idea, but I managed it, and only managed to fall on ice once. Which I consider a success, always been clumsy.

Name’s Adam, just moved in from NYC and I’ll be teaching music at Lima High in the new year and uh… I don’t think there’s much to know, my sister is definitely the cool one.

Ouch, yeah, some people don’t use deicer and I never could understand why they choose not to use it? Unless, you went ice skating, then completely forget what I said about deicer. Are you okay, though?

QUINN: oh no! i hope everything ends up okay. it doesn't sound good now but my prayers and positive vibes go out to them!

QUINN: not too many. i don't want to be overwhelmed. right now it's just you and mercedes for sure. possibly fran if she manages to get back in time. and /maybe/ sebastian and puck. but mainly you and mercedes for sure!

QUINN: why won't you be drinking??

CARTER: i mean, pretty sure sky is out of the hospital? idk if prayers and vibes will help her get the store back together but let's hope so?

CARTER: so puck, huh? interesting, but let's hope it'll be fun.

QUINN: wait, what? is everything okay?!

QUINN: okay, perfect! i don't want something super super big. but i want to be surrounded by decent people.

QUINN: i want to have fun and let loose and the people around me to allow me to do that but also in the same breath make sure i don't go too overboard since i've never really done anything like this before.

CARTER: ehhh, apparently, sky, the owner of hazy shades, ended up in the hospital this past weekend and there's a ton of damage inside of the shop. including a bunch of books on the floor. my heart goes out to them, because sky had the shop decorated for christmas.

CARTER: but idk if everything's okay or not, but my guess is not.

CARTER: how many people are we talking about, though?

QUINN: hello little brother!

QUINN: hope life has been well since you helped me with my hangover lol.

QUINN: i was wondering if you still wanted to spend NYE/my birthday with me?

CARTER: hello, big sister!

CARTER: lol for the most part, had to board up the doors to the book shop that we have.

I don’t know about you guys but this was arguably the best Christmas ever. What are we doing for New Years? Anything lit happening that I should know about? Who’s throwing a party? I’m ready to drink and dance the night away and kiss me a pretty girl at midnight.

Sounds like someone got laid or had something done to them, for a night to remember. I think Im supposed to be hanging out with my sister for her birthday, but I’m not sure. I think Mercedes mentioned throwing a party? I don’t know.

...It shouldn't be, my donors aren't invited to Christmas Eve or Christmas day at my place. So why would it be a little awkward?

It'll be a little awkward if the donors' house is set on fire by their Christmas lights.

Okay so I may or may not have accidentally fallen off of my parents’ roof after one of the Christmas lights blew a fuse or something and I may or may not have hit my head falling because when I woke up there was a squirrel trying to get at my half-eaten candy bar that I had in my jacket pocket.

It was caramel, for those wondering.

I’m just, glad that you’re okay, Tommy. And my family freaks out whenever I get an idea. Like, yeah okay, I’m accident prone, but it wasn't my fault that my dirt bike decided not to land on the ground.

spencer: hey. what are you doing for christmas eve? any plans?
