I only got her voicemail.
I laid in bed thinking if we would still live in Cali if mom and dad never divorced.
Jakely jumped in bed with me.
He usually sleeps with dad...
I wonder if that girl is spending the night...

It was 3AM when dad peek into my room.
"Your still up?" He sat on my bed.
"I can't sleep."
"Why not?"
"Is that girl still here?"
"No she left after you came in here."
I nodded.
"What's bothering you?"
"Nothing."
"Something is." He started petting Jakely who was sound asleep.
"Why do you have to have a girl friend?"
He laid next to me.
I pulled my blanket up.
"Something to do, someone to talk to." He stated.
I was silent.
"Stop thinking so much. She's just a friend."
"You want to be more though."
He sighed. "Nothing's going to happen Callie."
"You want something to happen."
"She has a boyfriend Callie."
I felt myself start crying.
"Callie breathe."
I went into the bathroom.
"Callie."
"Go away."
Jakely scratched at the door.
I slid down the wall.
"Callie?" I heard a sleepy Dustin.
"Go away!" My voice cracked.
"Moms on the phone."
"I don't want to talk to her!"
It was quite.
After a while I stopped crying and opened the door and three sleepy boys looked at me.
"You okay baby girl?" Dad asked.
I nodded.
Jakely yawned in Dustin's face and I giggled.
"Dog breath!" Dustin pushed Jakely away, but Jakely stood his ground and stayed put.
Dad and I laughed.

We all slept in dad's bed.
I woke up to dad cussing out someone on the phone.
Dustin mouthed 'mom'.
I started regreting calling her...
"He can fuck himself with your dildo for all I care, your not taking MY kids!" He slammed down the house phone down.
His eyes looked black then he turned to me, and they went back to the light brown/hazel.
"Your boyfriend called." He teased.
Dustin laughed so hard he nearly peed himself.
I through a pillow at him.
Thus started a pillow fight which ended in Dustin's boyfriend joining in and Jakely ripping a whole in the pillows making feather and Cotten cover the house.
"We need pillows..." Dad stated looking around the, now, white house...
"Dustin call the cleaning people and I'll go buy pillows. Keep it G-rates until I get back!" Dad glared at Chase.
I laughed and left to go pillow shopping with dad.
