Never Leave My Side
[ 13 ]

I answered the phone, “Hello?”
“Hey honey, I need you to come home. I have news.”
Tyler looked at me curiously as I made a face, “Okay, I’ll be home in like a half hour.”
“Okay, see you soon.” And she hung up.
I clicked the end button on my blackberry; let my hands fall to my lap and my head back on the pillow and groaned.
“What?” Tyler asked putting his arm over my stomach.
“I have to go home in a little while.” I said with my eyes closed.
“Want me to drive you?” He asked.
I opened my eyes, “I think I’ll walk. It’s not that far. And before you try to insist, I’m seriously going to walk.” I smiled and started to get up.
“Noooooo, few more minutes.” He hugged around my waist and pulled me back down. I pulled his arms off of me and stood up, leaving him laying on the couch with his arms sprawled out and a pout on his face.
I giggled, “I have to go. I’m gonna keep your clothes, okay? They’re comfy and they smell good.” Which was true, they smelt like Axe.
Tyler chuckled and stood up, “Whatever you want.”
I hugged him and then walked up the stairs to the kitchen.
 
After I got my stuff from upstairs and said goodbye to everyone, I walked the 5 blocks to my house.
When I got home, I saw that there was another car, other than my Mom’s in the driveway.
I walked into the house and into the living room and my brother was on the loveseat and my mom was on the couch with some man. He looked around my Mom’s age with dark brown hair with some grey in it, and hazel eyes. He was in dark jeans, a striped shirt and nike sneakers.
“What’s going on?” I asked hesitantly.
“Come sit honey.” My mom said.
I sat on the couch and looked at my brother who just shrugged at me.
My mom took a deep breath, “Kids, this is Frank. He’s my …” She stopped and looked at him. He nodded at her. “He’s my boyfriend.”
