I Found Him On My Doorstep <3

Do you still Trust me?

I walked around my house looking everywhere for Cody. Where could he be? It’s not as if my house is all that big. The only place left was the bathroom. I tried to open the door but it was locked. I felt really bad. He had no where else to go but the bathroom. He’s got no where to go, no one he can talk to. His mum has just dumped him here. I never really thought about how he was taking it until now.

“Cody? Are you in there?” I asked.

“Yeah” he mumbled.

“Do you want to talk about it?” I called through the door.

“Um, not really...” his voice cracked. He was really upset.

“Come on Cody, I can help you. You can trust me. I’m not going to leave you when you need me or desert you when things get hard. I’m going to be there for you. I’m not going to be like your mum.” I said all in one breathe. It was true though, I wasn’t going to leave him. He needs someone and I’m going to be that someone that he can confide in.

I heard the bathroom door unlock, “Do you promise?” Cody whispered to me. Hid eyes were red and puffy. He’d been crying.

“Of course” I pulled him into a hug. I feel as if I’ve known this boy all of my life when I haven’t even known him for a day. We stayed like this for a while.

“Go get dressed, we’re going out today to have fun. Screw everyone else.”  That made him smile.

“Thank you Toni.”  He said.

“What for?” I asked. “I’m only trying to be a good friend.”

“And a good friend you are” he replied while getting his clothes out of the bottom draw as I got mine out of the wardrobe.

“Do you mind if I change here?” I asked slowly, “I don’t even care if you see me anymore”

“No. It’s okay. You can stay here and I’ll go to the bathroom. Have to give a lady her privacy” he smirked. It was almost as if what happen ten minutes ago never happened.  He took his clothes into the bathroom and I got changed, fixed my hair and put on some make-up.

Cody knocked the door. “You don’t need to knock, this room is basically yours now too” I said.

“I just wanted to make sure you were decent” He replied.

“Like I said, I don’t care if you see me now.” Why have I suddenly got a change of heart.

“Since when, last night you basically told me that you would cut my balls of if I looked while you were changing” he said and lay down on the bed while I finished putting my make-up on.

“Well...you weren’t embarrassed to show me your body...so why should I be embarrassed if you see mine...I feel like I can trust you.” I said almost trying to convince myself rather than him.

“I’m glad that you trust me because I trust you too, I know that you’re going to be there for me, no matter what” he replied. That just made me smile. “And you have no reason to be ashamed of your Body anyways”

How did I feel about that, if it was anyone other than Cody I would be like ‘Get to fuck, you are not seeing my Body’. This boy is changing me.

“Come on” I said.

“Mum we’re going out” I shouted.

“Keep in touch” she replied as we passed her and Angie. I felt Cody tense beside me.

“Glad to see you out some clothes on Cody.” Angie said, not even looking at him. I don’t know what it was that Cody has done to make his mum this mad, but I don’t think that you could be this cold whit your child, no matter what they have done. I ignored her.

“I will mum, bye, Love you.” I said to her as I walked out the door. Cody followed behind me, slamming the door behind him.

“Woah, calm down. Don’t let her get to you.” I soothed and grabbed his hand. He immediately squeezed it. His eyes were watering again. We walked in silence and I gave him time to clam down.

As we passed a park I said, “You know what I’m such a bid kid that I can’t even pass a swing without having a go.” I broke free from his hand and ran towards the swing. I was almost there when I felt him run straight past me. He got there first.

“No fair I called dibs” I yelled, finally getting there. He was already sitting on the swing. I got up onto the other one which was higher. I failed miserably and fell of it. He just laughed.

“We have to go to school tomorrow” I groaned.

“Don’t worry babe, now you’ve got my pretty face to look at all day” he replied. Back to acting the way he normally does. What were Lily and Peter going to say when I told them all about this weekend? Oh My God they are going to freak.

“Take a picture with me?” I asked.

“Come here then” he replied. I walked over to him and sat on his lap and got my phone out.

“Smile” I said and pressed the button. I turned it around to look at it. It was a really good one. He was looking at me while I looked at the camera. At least I looked half decent.

“You’re beautiful” he said and immediately closed his mouth. He blushed. I blushed.

“Thank you” I replied. “Is it okay if I put it on Facebook?”

“No, please don’t” he said a little too quickly.

“Why not?” I asked. Did he have something against Facebook or something.

“There’s something I have to tell you.” He said. Was I going to like what he was going to say? I could tell that it wasn’t going to be good. Well, at least now I’m getting the details that he’s been keeping from me. He was telling the truth when he said that he trusts me.
