Secrets In My Trust

"I went there because I knew you and uncle Austin weren't on good terms so I knew he wouldn't inform you where I was. I didn't know that would happen. And when I realized that something was off and I was about to leave he pushed me on the bed."

"I'm so sorry that happened." She apologized. I then realized.

"Wait... how did you get Jakes number?" I asked.

"We searched your room and saw a piece of paper with a number on it. We assumed it was Jake's and called it." She explained. "He panicked and wanted to help find you, but couldn't cause he had Janie. So just give him a call before he has a damn heartattack."

I walked to my room to call him. I got to my door and saw a big hole right in the middle of it. Shit. My dad must've punched or kicked a hole through my door. I wouldn't be that surprised.

"Oh thank god Cody! Where are you!? Are you okay!?" He answered the phone almost immediately.

"I'm back at home. And... I don't know." I cried.

"W-what happened? Did someone hurt you?" He asked.

"It's something that I don't want to talk about at the phone. I just called to let you know I'm alright." I answered.

"I'll come over tomorrow. I'll drop Janie off at my sister's and get off work." He insisted.

"Don't do that. I won't allow you. You need to go to work." I implied.

"Then my sister can watch Janie a little bit later after I get off work." He assured. "I need to see you. I haven't slept. And something happened, and you're obviously hurt. And I'm worried fucking sick." His voice was crackly.

"O-okay." I agreed.

"Daddy!" I heard Janie called out in the background.

"Fuck. I wish I could talk to you longer, but I gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow. Love you."

With that, he hung up. Love you? I... I think I like the sound of that. A lot. I'm definitely not going to school tomorrow. I sat on my bed looking down. I'm such an idiot. I eventually ended up going to sleep.

My eyes slowly opened. It was 10am. School started around 2 hours ago. I thought about the night before. Even though I didn't want to, I couldn't stop. I eventually got up and finally changed my clothes. I put on pajama pants and a hoodie. I slowly left my room. I heard my parents talking in the kitchen. I I just listened.

"I don't care Mia. Haven't you noticed. When Jake came around 2 years ago Cody hasn't been happier. And when he left she was sad again, she didn't want to talk to anyone, not even Emily. And now that he's back, she's happier than ever again. More happy than she was 2 years ago." My dad pointed out.

I thought about it. He's right. Woah. My mom just huffed. Bitch. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed an apple and walked back to my room without saying a word. My dad walked in.

"How are you doing?" He asked.

"I don't know." I sighed. "I'm just waiting for my time to get yelled at by mom."

"What? Why would she yell at you?" He was confused.

"Because even though she told me last night to call Jake and let him know that I'm okay. She's not gonna like that I'm gonna see him today." I answered. "He said he'll get off work today to talk to me and make ure that I'm okay. But I made him go to work, cause he needs to. And so Janie's gonna stay at her aunts for a little while longer so he can check on me."

"She won't yell at you. We agreed that it's stupid to take him away from you. You obviously mean a lot to each other. And I don't wanna take that away." He assured.
