Serendipity

As I finish setting the table everyone had already merged into the lounge to watch more tv, I noticed that Maddox wasn't to be seen so I went upstairs to where I had found him last only to find him in exactly the same position he was in 5 minutes before.

"Hey.... are you okay?" I ask him quietly not wanting to disturb him too much. His head lifts as he hears my voice and turns to look at me.

"Yea I'm fine Jordyn."

"well, now I know you're lying." I state as he looks me in the eyes, Maddox rarely ever calls me Jordyn, everyone rarely calls me Jordyn, to be honest. He lets out a breath and looks at the ground as he moves toward my bed, when he sits he motions me over next to him. When I reach him I watch him carefully as I wait until he's ready to start talking.

"My dad.... he uh- he called me during practice today." I just watch him as he talks trying to decipher what's happening although with Mads dad it could truly be anything. Not wanting to push him I reach my hand towards his and hold it in my hand,
