Donation-Part Ten

(Sawyer Fincaid's pov.)

"Are you staying in town?" I ask, not meeting there eyes. "Um, well. We were hoping to stay the weekend with you." I feel my fingers tihhten around the remote. "You can stay in the guest room. " It comes out mumbled and frustrated. They nod, not seeming to notice the aggravation in my voice. "Can you show us the guest room?" My dad questions, studying me tight lipped. I nod,"this way." I show them to the room beside the bathroom, across the hall from my room.

"Thank you," I nod. "Jeff, go get our things." My mother orders. My dad nods and walks out, coming back minutes later with two over night bags. They don't say a word and walk into the guest room. "It will be okay." Star says, hugging my waist. "Just explain things to him." I nod, smiling down at her. She jerks her head towards my door, gesturing for me to go in. I do as she suggests.

Calix lays over the covers on my bed; knees pulled up to his chest , arms wrapped around his legs, mouth slightly open, eyes closed, and fingers knotted together. I smile, lift his body slightly up, and slide the covers over him. He groans, eyes fluttering open. He smiles up at me,"hey." I smile,"Hi. You fell asleep." He nods and cuddles into the blanket. "Did they leave?" He dosen't meet my eyes. "They are staying in the guest room." He nods, closing his eyes. "I am sorry." He nods again but dosen't say anything.

"Please," I try but it comes out raspy and mumbled. He turns towards me,"it is okay." His eyes are still closed but he scoots closer, cuddiling into my chest. "You should probably lock the door." It comes out whispered. I nod and do as he said, pulling him closer to me. "I really am sorry."

He dosen't say anything and then just when I think he is asleep,"Goodnight." I kiss his forehead and close my eyes. Unable to fall asleep. He leasn into me and dozes off peacefully.

Calix's leg is pressed to mine underneath the table, his eyes directed at his food, and a small smile playing across his face. "What are you all doing today?" My mom asks, eating her pancakes. "Star has work, Kris has her cousin's birthday party, and Calix and I were going to go to the mall." Kris sneers over at me, taking the message. Star hides a grin and subtely takes Kris's hand under the table.

"Oh. Could I join you at the mall?" My mom questions, eyeing us. Calix moves his leg and my heart falters. "Um, sure. Calix and I were going on a date but sure." She smiles,"oh. A double date?" Calix dosen't look at me, body rigid, and breath frozen. "No, on a date together. He is my boyfriend." My mom stares at me, my dad still eating his pancakes. "I might just go shopping in town with your dad." He looks up,"I was going to go fishing." She smacks his arm and he shrugs, rolling his eyes.

Calix dosen't move, I reach over, and take his hand in mine. "Sounds fine."
