(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.
