Just Saying

Hideaway

DREW'S POV
I rolled over and stuck my arm out.

Confused, I brought my arm back and opened my eyes.

"Chloe?" I asked sitting up.

She wasn't here.

No one was home.

I looked at my phone.

It's Thursday.

She's at school.

I sighed a sigh of relief.

I hope she's doing okay.

Her parents are going to court today.

I have no idea who's going to get custody over her.

Or if they're even going that route since she's a legal adult.

I wait for her to get back.

Only five hours.

It's boring without her.

Why does she still have to go to school?

Luckily, I hear her car pull up.

I hear the door open.

"Hi angel." I said greeting her.

''Hi babe.'' She said.

"How was your day?" I asked.

''It was okay." She said.

"Just okay?" I asked.

"Yeah. Every girl in my grade is obsessed with you. They keep asking if you'd serenade them." She said.

"Obviously it's a no from me. This voice is strictly reserved for you." I said.

I saw her smile and hug me.

I held onto her tiny body as tightly as possible.

"Have you heard anything from your parents?" I asked.

"No. They had to be at court like an hour ago in New Jersey." She said.

"Do you know if they're bringing up custody?" I asked.

"They might. But I don't know what that means for me since I'm technically an adult." She said.

"If you need a place to stay, you know I'm here. I don't care for how long." He said.

"Thank you. I really do appreciate it." She said.

"Anything for my baby girl." I said kissing the top of her head.

"I love you so much." She said.

"I love you so much more, honey." I said.
