Chapter Spam Part 1/2:
Josh's POV:🏆Last night was lit-- so I hear from the people that attended Chloe's party while I was practicing. I go down for breakfast, yes, I'm still staying at the lukasiaks'. "Mornin", I say groggily, still worn out from practice. "Morning, Hyland", coach replies. I sit down next to Coach who's sitting across from Chloe. "So, Chloe, so nice of you to offer helping out at the hockey party this afternoon, considering, you would be partied out from last night", coach tells Chloe sarcastically. "I didn't offer, you're forcing me", she answers, sounding pretty pissed. I quietly eat my cereal observing what's going on. "Just start cleaning up the living room, then around noon start getting ready. Can you do that?", he asks Chloe. "Fine.", she replies, putting her dish in the sink, and storming into the living room. I glance over to Coach who looks disappointed. "It's gonna be okay coach, Chloe's not a bad girl, I've thrown thousands of parties where the cops had to drag kids away", I tell him. He chuckles. "The last thing I want is for my daughter to turn out like Joshua Hyland", he jokes then playfully shoves me. "But you gotta admit, I'm pretty good looking", I say, examining my reflection in a spoon. "Okay, mr. overly confident, let's get serious for a sec", he replies. I nod, putting down the spoon, and wait for him to say something.
"Your parents called me last night. They're back from their trip"
"Ah yes, which one? The one where they expected to leave me home alone, but you took me in. Or the one where they actually did do that, and I lived off McDonald's for three weeks?"
"Wait a minute, this isn't the first time this happened?"
I debate over how to answer. I can see where this is going. He wants to bring my case to court. "May I be excused?", I ask feeling myself get emotional which doesn't happen often. "Of course, but Josh...", I don't let him finish, I quickly go upstairs. I can't deal with this right now.🏆
