(NOAH POV)
"Hey." Cody whispered into the phone, I could hardly hear him. I pressed my phone against my ear. "Hey, it's only been an hour since I last saw you. Miss me already?" I joked sarcastically.
I hear Cody sniffle, "Yeah, sorry. I really need someone to talk to. If you're busy that's fine— I just—" Cody cut himself off, yelling something away from the phone. "Hold on I'll be back." I raised my eyebrow, lying down, waiting for Cody to come back to his phone.
I heard a door slam over the phone, "Back, sorry." He took a deep breath.
"Hey, you good?"
"Mhm."
I sighed, switching my phone to my other hand. "What'd you call for?"
"Just to talk.""Oh." I rubbed my thumb against the back of my phone, an awkward silence. "My aunt, she came over, that's why I had to go home. She was talking to my dad about something."
I raised my eyebrow, sitting up.
"Do you mind me asking what?"I could hear him sigh, "She wants to get custody of me or something. She said my mom would've wanted it. I just wanna stay with my dad."
I didn't know what to say. This guy just opened up to me about something clearly bugging him and I froze. "Oh."
"Yeah.""Sorry, I uh—" I sigh. "I'm not good at these things."
"No it's okay. I just— I should've kept it to myself."
I look at the floor, shaking my head. "No-no, I get it, dude. Hey, I'm not good at talking but if you want to stay the night or anything, my mom won't care."
"Really?""Yeah, just gotta warn you I have annoying ass siblings." Cody chuckled.
"I mean, if you don't mind me coming over.. That'd be nice." I smiled, lying back down, putting Cody on speaker-phone and setting my phone next to me. "Yeah," I grinned so hard. I could feel my smile, and it wasn't going away."If you want, I can pick you up." I flipped onto my stomach, picking my phone back up. "You have your license?" I nodded as if he could see me. "Yeah, got it a few months ago."
"That's fuckin' sweet. I'll be back." after a few seconds I could hear Cody's door slam, it opening and slamming once again a few minutes later."My dad said yeah, I'll text you my address and you can pick me up, that sound good?" I nodded, though he can't see me, once again, "Yeah."
"Sweet, thanks."
"Yeah, no problem. Bye man."
"Bye, Noah."
My hearts pounding and I don't know why. Probably just because I haven't had anyone stay the night in a while. I hope my siblings don't annoy him, cause they sure do annoy me.
