I woke up from the sound of little snores coming from beside me. I looked over and saw Hazel fast asleep with one arm laying across my stomach. I moved her hand ever so lightly off me, then laid her in the middle of my bed and pulled the covers over her. I grabbed my phone off the bedside table and brought the screen to life. I looked at the time. '9:00 am' it read in big letters. I looked at my notifications seeing that I had 3 unread messages from Scotty. I opened up the messages and they read:
"I hope Hazels doing better."
"Goodnight Maddison."
"Mornin sunshine (: "
After reading those I typed 'Mornin' in the message box and pressed send. I laid it back on the table and went over to the mirror. I looked at myself for a few minutes. My hair was a mess and my eyes were part way open. I walked over to my bathroomroom and turned the foset on. I lifted my hands full of water, up to my face to try and wake me up. I turned it off and headed downstairs. I shut the door behind me quietly as I made my way downstairs. I reached the living room and no one was there. I walked through the dining room and still no one. I walked into the kitchen and saw a note on the counter.
"Went to the McCreerys. When you wake up head on over - Mom && Dad"
I threw the note away and headed back upstairs. I picked up Hazel, trying not to wake her. I walked downstairs carrying Hazel with one arm while she rested on my side. I grabbed the house keys and headed out the door. I locked it behind me then shoved the keys and my phone into my pocket. The McCreerys only lived across the street. I walked over there and headed for the front door. Before I even could knock the door swung open showing a blue eyes boy.
"Hey Maddison." He said taking Hazel and holding her while rubbing her back.
"Hey Scotty." I said
"Morning Maddison." My mom said showing no expression.
"Morning Mom, Dad." I said
"Morning." He said
"Well isn't there some tension." Scotty said
"Why don't Maddison, Hazel and you go upstairs." Mr. McCreery said
"Good idea dad." Scotty said heading upstairs.
We reached Scotty's room and Hazel started to squirm in his arms. Her eyes slowly fluttered open and she smiled.
"Morning Haze." Scotty said sitting her up on his lap.
"Morning Scotty." She said rubbing her eyes.
"How'd you sleep?" He asked
"Good." She yawned
"Yeah only cause she was sleeping in my bed." I said laughing a little. Hazel just looked at me and giggled.
"I love that little laugh of hers." Scotty said smiling
"I think you'd be a great dad Scotty." I said looking at him
"You think so?" He asked
"Yeah."
"Scotty?" Hazel said looking up at him
"Yes Hazel?" He said looking down at her
"Can you sing for me?" She asked
"Of course! What song?"
"Play it again." She said
"Alright." He said strumming his guitar.
"She was sittin all alone over on the tailgate, tan legs swingin by her Georgia plate. I was looking for her boyfriend thinkin' no way she ain't got one. Soon as I say down I was fallin' in love, trynna pour a little sugar in her dixie cup talkin' over the speakers in the back of that truck she jumped up and cut me off she was like oh my god this is my song this is my song
