CHAPTER 41

NAVINA

I sigh as I grab my books for the third period. I looked around everywhere for caden but no luck. I thought he would be walking with me to school but I guess our little moments from yesterday don't mean as much as I thought... When the bell rings I start rushing and I catch up with Eden who is in the hall. She smiles at me as she closes her locker, her books clutched in her hand and I smile back. "Hey nav!"

"Hola" I then said smiling.

"So has caden talked to you at all today?" she then asks suspiciously as she side-stares me deep in my soul.'

I frown but a sad smile dances on my lips. "Why would you say that?" I then asked.

She shrugs. "No particular reason." I then look more into her eyes, not convinced and she rolls her eyes. "Fine, I may possibly have talked to caden during lunch..."

I gape at her. "What!" The few people crowded in the stairway turn to us with confused looks and I cringe back, not liking the attention right now. "What?" I then whisper and shout as we turn and walk up the stairs.

She shrugs "i just.... Well I told him that if he wants you then to ignore all the 'nos' and just get you back. So did he?"

I shake my head glaring at her. "No he hasnt you dweeb why would you talk to him about that?!"

She shrugs "you just... you were really happy with him. And I know I was all about space and time and all the bs but it's been long enough. Your moppy now like... like after thara..." her voice goes into a whisper at that part and i cringe back hurt. "But... since Caden... you are a happy navina.I loved seeing you happy even if you weren't happy when you were with me."

I frown, my eyes stinging at her words. Damn, I'm sensitive. "I.... I am happy with you..." I then say confidently.

She nods but shrugs "your still happier when you're with him. It's okay though, I like seeing you happy. It means that you will hang out with everyone more and I can hear you talk more." she then said quickly.

I look away and at the halls seeing the masses of people pass. I then notice caden sneaking in the classroom with his bag on. I look away from my face heating. "Well he didn't talk to me.'' I then said,

"You do want him back right?" she then sks.

I nod, "no doy." I then said,

She chuckles "Well... he's staying with you for a little bit right?" she then asks.

I nod "I think so... that is until he can go into foster care or something." I then realized he would be leaving. It hasn't set in. He's going to leave no matter what. "He's leaving." I then whispered.

I think Eden realizes that now too. "Oh shit... right." her hand snakes on my shoulder ."you can still be long distance. Plus things might happen and he might be able to stay here. You never know."

"Unlikely though. He has no other family, so he can't be here. There also happens to be no places like orphanages and what not around here." I then mentioned.

"Oh... well you can still try, plus your parents might.... I don't know how to foster him? If that's the term I'm not sure. Don't give up nav."

I nod. She's right. I'm not. I said i wouldnt and I'm not. Then as I walked in class I came to realize would my mom and dad foster him? I mean probably not, but it's a peak thought.

—------------------

"Hey dad!?" i call out. "Dad?!" i call out again as i slide my shoes off and walk in the living room. I stop to stunned to speak. "Caden." i breath out. I then turn to see my dad and mom also with him. He looks at me and we gazes at each other and I can't describe the feeling I get... other than the butterflies and the heat flaming to my cheeks, as his pale gray eyes meet mine. I haven't seen him since monday and we didn't even talk then. It's now Wednesday after school. I got home later though since it was my last art class, and last day of school since it's now winter break officially for two weeks.
