Drew's P.O.V

Two hours later the kids started to settle down and now I was sitting by Clayton helping him draw a picture.

Even though he couldn't see it, it wasn't bad. 

"Drew?" He asked.

"Yeah?" I looked up at his face.

He was a handsome guy, he had light brown hair and I never got to see his eyes, and I never asked either, I didn't want to hurt him. He was in football, he didn't tell me which school be went too but I still didn't ask.

"Um, never mind."

"Okay . . ." I looked up at the door, Daryl was there smiling, he waved me over. I stood up. "Um, I'll be right back, maybe, depending on what Daryl wants."

He nodded, going back to his drawing. I smiled at Daryl when I stood in front of him. "What's up Daryl Dixon?"

He chuckled at the name. "How can you watch that?"

"The Walking Dead?" I laughed. "Dunno. But what do you need?"

He handed me a piece of paper. "Daddy's number, he had to go down to the gym. He told me to give you this."

I read the number and nodded. "Thanks, I'll add Jon's number later."

"Why don't you call him Dad?"

"I met him for the first time, yesterday he didn't even know I exist, now I'm living with him." Suddenly it came to mind. "Oh God, he travels for work, that means I'll have to go with him. What about Mercedes and Clayton?"

"Clayton is getting his blindfold off in three more days, he'll be okay, Mercedes . . . WWE does stuff for cancer right?"

"Yeah, he told I'm guessing, but that would have to be her wish from Make A Wish Foundation, I can't just have a little girl in there when she doesn't want it."

"Skype her."

"Skype? That could work . . ." I hugged him. "Thanks Dixon."

"Its Berea."

I laughed. "I know, but you should know how much I love Daryl Dixon and The Walking Dead."

An hour later I decided not to call Jon, but I did add him to my small contacts list. I was walking down the street, staring at my phone, finally I sighed, calling my mom's cell phone putting it up to my ear. Listening to it ring, it went to voicemail soon after.

"Hi you've reached Clairsse Anderson, sorry I missed your call leave a message. If this is Drew, sorry honey, I'll call you back, love you bye."

I felt my hot tears run down my face, as I heard her voice. A voice that I'll never hear again. Ever.

Thunder rolled over head and soon after it began to rain, I didn't care though, it matched my mood.

I walked by the gym, suddenly getting the temptation to look in there. And I did. I saw Jon with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins - I'd of called them by their real names but I don't know them - I watched them for about two minutes before my brain started nagging me to go in. I shook my head, pulling my hood over my already drenched hair, shoving my phone in my pocket, walking away.
