Mommy?

11

I sigh as I walk into Ashton's house and plop down next to Michael on the couch, watching the boys play video games.

"Pizza is in the kitchen." Ashton mumbles.

"It 10:00 am."

"Never too early for pizza." Michael mutters distractedly. I chuckle and go get a few slices and then go back into the living room to find Calum has died and Michael and Ashton are fiercely trying to destroy the guys on the other team that killed him as Calum complains.

Mommy went to work and said I couldn't come with even though I begged and cried and gave my best puppy dog eyes. I saw her caving. Stupid phone call from her boss had to mess everything up.

When they finish the game, Michael hands me his controller. "How's Delilah?" Calum asks as we start a new game.

"Good."

"She yours yet?"

"Yep!" Ashton answers for me.

"Hey, why does he know and we don't?!" Michael complains.

"I don't know, maybe because he reads my Facebook status." Lies. Really, I called him while in little space and babbled about how I finally asked Delilah to be my mommy and she agreed and he listened and congratulated me, and told me he thought it would be a good idea to tell her about my dad. I didn't agree.

"I read-"

"Liar."

"Fine, okay." Michael gives in, chuckling.

"Hey, my parents are having a family get together and both these idiots are too busy. You wanna come tomorrow?" Calum asks over the loud gunshot noises on the tv.

"Me and li are going on a date tomorrow."

"No fair, imma be all alone at my parents stupid thing. What are you guys doing?"

"Zoo." Ashton looks over and laughs and I roll my eyes. He wants me to tell the boys that I'm a little, but I don't want to. He thinks they'll be fine with it, like he was, but Im afraid they'll think I'm a freak. I didn't even want him to know, but he came to my house when I was deep in little space and I just stayed there and told him about it. He was fine with it, but I made him promise not to tell.

I told him about my dad later and he tried to convince me to move out, or live with him, but i couldn't, not without a job, I'd feel bad if I didn't help pay bills, and I can't get a job because of the risk of slipping into little space.

"Delilah work today?" Ash asks.

"Yeah. She's off at 4 today."

"Is she picking you up?"

"I was gonna take the bus to hers."

"I'll drop you off. I'm already dropping cal and Mikey off anyway."

"Kay, tha-  god damnit!" I curse as I get killed by a super high ranking player. "Thanks." I mutter, handing my remote to Michael and going to get more pizza.

The boys and I spend the day playing video games, eating pizza, and having nerf gun fights like a bunch of 12 year olds, but it's fun anyways.

"Lets go to Delilahs first." Calum says.

"Why? Your house is on the way." I say.
