Ashton
My phone rang an unknown number all the way from North Carolina. Strange. But I answered anyway.
"Who's this and how'd you get my number?" I asked.
"Is this Ashton Grier?" A man asked.
"Depends on who's asking," I stated.
"This is Chad Grier," the man said.
"Then yes. I'm Ashton. How might I help you Mr. Grier?" I asked.
"How old are you?" He asked.
"16," I answered.
"When's your mom get pregnant with you?" He asked.
"At 29," I answered.
"That's cool. She seems smart. Do you think she'd mind if I borrowed you for a day?" He asked.
"Of course she wouldn't. When exactly is it?" I asked.
"Next Wednesday," he answered.
"Where?" I asked.
"New York," he answered.
"Definitely then. I can just tell her I missed my flight since I'mma be there anyway," I said casually.
"Alright. Well I have to run. Keep care," he said and hung up.
When it turned midnight, I felt my relaxed body being shaken lightly. I turned to face the doorway, groggily. I saw a dark and tall figure standing by the bed.
"What?" I groaned.
"Can I lay by you?" Kasen asked.
"Why?" I whined. Ok so being half asleep and talking to someone isn't a good idea. I'm bound to mess up.
"Would you believe me if I told you it was because I had a nightmare?"
"No."
"Then it was because I got super lonely and was hoping you wouldn't mind," he sighed.
I moved over and rolled back into my warm position. He happily laid down and held me. I stayed up keeping him company until he fell asleep.
When he passed out, I kissed his cheek and went to sleep myself. When we woke up at six, I showered, stole some of his sweats and his baseball shirt, and got ready for school.
He drove as I sat quietly, nearing sleep as the seconds passed by like hours. I was about out cold when he decided to pull into the student parking lot. I groaned, causing him to laugh.
"Come on sleepyhead. Gotta get going," he said.
"I think I'll stay here and protect the truck," I mumbled.
"Nope," he chuckled.
I forced myself out with my bag on my back, and walked in hand-in-hand with Kasen.
"Behave today. Ok? If you want, just tell me if anyone bothers you," he said and faced me.
"Aye aye Capt'n Walker!" I saluted him and stood tall.
