Juvie Girl Has A Daughter?

Chapter 23

It's nearly time for me to leave. Caden and I came back inside and I made my rounds. I even had a drink with mamma M.

The time when she was in the hospital, everyone thought she was gonna pass. But she didn't. She pulled through and regained her strength enough to have the tumor removed. She was in the hospital for a little while but was able to come home. With the exception of going to physical therapy to help regain strength to her body. Mamma M is going so strong, but she left a little early because she was exhausted.

I see Tyler sitting at a table taking a drink of his soda. I go over to him and sit next to him.

"Hey." I say nudging his arm.

"Hi mamma. " He kisses my cheek.

"Why have I been hearing things about you? " I raise an eyebrow at him.

"What things? "He asks concerned.

"Like you getting into trouble at school for smoking in the bathroom. " I say folding my arms across my chest.

"At least it wasn't weed. " He mutters.

"It doesn't matter what you were smoking. It's the fact that you were smoking in the first place. " I say.

"I know. And I haven't done it since. " He says.

"Good. Don't let me hear about it again. Understand. "

"Yes."

"Ok. Well Stephanie and I are going to call it a night. I will see you tomorrow. "

"Can you take me with you? It 3am, I'm tired, and you're going to Andrews anyways. "

"Fine. Go tell your mom that I'm taking you. " He stands and goes to find his mom. Sometimes I forget how old he is. He's only 14 and already taller than me. Kids. They grow so fast.

"Tania."

"T. Wake up. "

"Tania." I feel somebody shaking me. I open my eyes and turn around.

"What the hell do you want Caden? "

"I figured you were here so I came by. I didn't wanna drive home tonight. " I look at the time on my phone.

"It's 4 in the fucking morning Caden Scott. I'm fucking tired. Leave me the hell alone so I can sleep . "

"Can I sleep here? "

"I don't care. "

"Ok." He crawls over me, onto the bed.

"What the hell are you doing? " I ask.

"I'm going to sleep. " He says.

"There's like a million rooms in this house, go pick one and sleep in it. " He smirks.

"I pick this room. I'm going to sleep. "

"Oh my god. I'm going to fucking kill you. " I say turning around and facing my back towards him. He moves and buries his face in my neck.

"Get off of me. " I say.

"It's my favorite spot. " He mumbles into my neck.

"You're so annoying. "

"You love it. "

"I swear, I can't stand you. " I murmured. I'm too tired to continue to fight. I feel myself drift off not hearing what he said after that.

I wake up to the sound of my phone ringing. I groan. I feel around my nightstand for it and finally, after a few slaps, find it and lift it. I see Alice calling. I right away sit up and answer it.
