(Brogan)
I finished cooking and Nic invited two of his friends over. "So, Nic FINALLY got himself a girl." One of them laughed, I giggled. "I'm Brogan," I said,  they nodded. "I'm Chase, that's Sam." He said, I nodded and looked at Nic who was cleaning the living room. "You guys hungry?" I asked, Sam's eyes lit up.

"Hell yeah!" "Sam, you're always hungry." Nic said when he finished cleaning and walked into the kitchen. Chase laughed, "He is." I snickered and made him a plate and gave it to him. Nic made a plate and gave it to me, I smiled. "I have two hands, i can make my own plate, boo." I said, Nic nodded. "I have two hands, too. So, I'm gonna make you a plate." He said and kissed my nose. I walked into the living room and sat down.

Nic sat next to me and Chase sat on the beanbag by the couch. Nic turned on Netflix and turned on Bob's Burgers. I watched started to eat and watch the show, I glanced at Sam and Chase. Sam busted out laughing, I started to giggle hysterically. Nic chuckled and rolled his eyes, Sam and I eventually calmed down and we went back to doing whatever. Nic and I finished eating and Sam was on his 2nd plate. I leaned back on the couch and then my phone started to buzz. "Here, it's your dad." Nic said, I took the phone and answered.

"Hello?" "Come home." Mike said, I sat up and crossed my legs. "Why, you know where I am and who I am with." I argued, heard shuffling and keys. "Why do you never want to spend time with me? Ever since I got custody of you,  you've been in and out of relationships, run off somewhere and barely call me and shit."

I didn't know how to respond, I sat there and stumbled over my words. "Just say that you don't want to live with me and you don't have to, I'll leave you alone and you can do your own thing." He said and I heard a muttering in the back. "I do wanna live with you,  but, you're always drinking, spending time with other girls and stuff, but, whatever." I said. We talked for 5 more minutes and then I hung up. "You good?"

"Mhm." I said, Nic rubbed my back and I leaned on him and sighed dramatically, I closed my eyes. "I think you two should go." "Rude, bye." Sam said and walked to the door. "Bye, Brogan. It was nice meeting you. " He smiled. "Nice meeting you guys too." Sam muttered bye and left. "Let's go to bed." Nic said, I nodded and stood up. "I'll put the food away." He said and I went upstairs. I entered his room and took my shirt off, along with my bra. I looked for one of his shirts, I picked one up and pulled it on. I crawled into bed and curled up. Nic entered and got into bed with me.

I woke up and stared at the wall. "Baby? Are you up?" He asked, I nodded and closed my eyes. "It's raining, just wanna have a lazy day?" "I have to go home, today.  Don't you have band practice?" I asked while sitting up, he shrugged. "I have no clue, I don't think so." He said and grabbed his phone.  I got out of bed and grabbed my bra and shirt and went into the bathroom.

I changed and put deodorant on and walked into the bedroom. "I don't wanna go!" I said dramatically, he laughed. God,  he's fucking cute.  "I know, but,  maybe next weekend we can go on an actual date." He said,  i nodded and smiled.  He lightly smacked my butt, I got up and ordered an Uber. "Want me to drive you?" He asked, I shook my head.

"Nah, I got an Uber." I said, he chuckled. "Have fun with that." "I'll try." We went downstairs and I grabbed my thing and my phone went off, I checked it.

"Your Uber is here!"

I kissed Nic and told him I loved him and I went out to the car and told him my address and went home.
