Never Letting Go - Cody Simpson Fanfic

Chapter 30

I was woken by the sound of a phone ringing. The sunlight immediately met my eyes making me close them again. "What?" I heard Cody mumble. "Oh shit!" He sat up quickly. I sat up too and rubbed my eyes. "Yeah, I'm with her. Tell him she'll be home in ten minutes." He said before hanging up.

"Nooo." I refused. "Come on, you gotta go face it." "But you're going to come into the house, yeah? You'll come be with me." "I'm gonna be right by your side whenever you need me all the way through this and that's a promise that I plan on keeping." He said as we climbed down the tree. "That'll be a first." "Oi!" Cody slapped my butt. I giggled and started running towards the car.

"Deep breaths." Cody prepared me. We were sat in the car outside the house. "I don't think I can do this." I stared at the front door. "Do it for Lil. You just gotta stay calm and keep a smile on your face so she knows everything's going to be okay. And then you can feel whatever you wanna feel with me." "You're coming inside, right?" "If you want me to." "Mhm." I nodded and got out of the car.

I took his hand and walked into the house. "Thank God you're safe!" Mom came and hugged me. I refused to let go of Cody's hand. "You can let go." He laughed a little. I shook my head and stood close to him. "Come outside." Mom walked into the living room. We followed her and went out the back door.

"Have you told her yet?" I watched Trey pushing Lilly on the swing. "No, not yet." Dad said. "Codes, I have some things in my trunk. Wanna come help me?" Cara stood up. "Good idea. I'd love to." "No!" I caught Cody before he could move. "I'm going to be right inside. It's okay." He held my face in his hands. "I promise." Cody kissed my forehead.

I watched Cody and Cara walk inside and then turned back around. "Lil, come sit down. We need to talk to you." Mom called her. Lilly and Trey came up to the table and we all sat down. I sat on Trey's lap and made him wrap his arms around me.

"Are we going out somewhere?" Lilly asked. Her naivety in itself made me want to start crying. "No, Lilly. We have something serious to talk to you about." Mom said. Lilly instantly looked at Trey and I. I had to look away from her straight away. Mom and Dad explained to Lilly what's going on, she sat in tears from the word go.

"I'm so sorry, baby." Dad held his arms out for her. Lilly jumped off her seat and fell into his arms. "I'm sorry but I can't stay here." I got up. Trey caught my wrist. "No, Trey. Let go." I pulled my hand free and went inside. I went to the kitchen and let Cody pick me up. I hid my face in his neck and he rubbed my back after placing me on the counter.

"I'm sorry, Lon." Cara rubbed my arm. I didn't say anything because I was crying too much. "Hey, it's gonna be okay. I thought we'd spoken about this?" Cody pulled me away from his body and held my face in his hands so he could see me. "She was so happy and it all changed within seconds. Her whole face just dropped, Cody. You should of seen it, it was awful." "I know, I know." He kissed my nose.

"I don't wanna be here. I wanna go home." "This is your home, Lauren." "I wanna go to your house." I pushed him away and jumped off the counter. "Lauren, you can't run from this. You have to stay here." "I don't like it here." "Well you're staying and that's that." "Fine. I'll walk." I left the room.

As I opened the front door, Cody's hand pushed it closed. "Just stay for a little bit." Cody whispered as I turned to face him. "I don't feel comfortable here." "Please, baby." He said. I moved my face closer to his and pressed my lips against his. "So will you stay?" Cody asked barely breaking our lips apart.

I sighed and nodded. "You wanna go to your bedroom?" "Yes." I said and ran upstairs. Cody laughed as he closed the door behind him. There was a knock on the door after a few minutes and Trey came into the room.

"I need to talk to you." He sat on the dresser. "Okay.." "Mom and Dad have spoken about Lilly and where she's going to live." "And..?" "Dad's moving out so they decided that Lilly will stay here with Mom." "She'll still see Dad though?!" I panicked. "All the time! He's not moving far, for now he's going to be living with Cara and I until he finds a house."
