Friends are the family we choose
We all sat in the waiting room chairs. Ricky, then me, then Bailee, then Paige, then an extra chair, then Cody.
I was hugging my knees and Bailee had her head leaning on my shoulder. Paige was laying down with her head on Bailee's lap and feet on Cody. Nobody said anything.
Until Bailee said "I have to go to the bathroom Paige come with me" she said looking at me. Her and Paige walked to the bathroom and I felt very awkward. After a moment of silence Ricky said "so.. It's us again" he looked at me. I could feel Cody watching.
"You know.. It's not suppose to be like this. I'm not suppose to be scared to talk to you" I said and we were all silent. "My mom told your mom where you were and that you were safe with us" Ricky said and I stood up.
"Thank you garcia" I said and he half smiled. "I saw that half smile" I said messing with my hair. He smiled. I walked over to Cody and sat down next to him. He looked at me but I stared at the door to room 164.
I sighed. "You okay? Or you need a bear hug?" Cody said grabbing my hand. I felt a tear come down my face. Cody stood up and extended his arm. I wiped my eye and took his hand.
He pulled me up and gave me a 'bear hug' my hair fell out of the bun it was in, so we we stopped hugging I took it out of the bun and it was clurled. Cody spun me around and I smiled.
Although while I spun I caught a glimpse of Ricky's face. In tears. "Without you I feel broke like I'm half of a whole without you I've got no hand to hold" I said holding cody's hand. I did that on purpose because those few song lyrics, were lyrics to mine and Ricky's song. After I said that Cody hugged me and Ricky left.
