Chapter 3

I follow him outside and listen to his conversation."Is she being good?" He asks"Thanks again mom" he hangs up.He stares up and sighs."Something on your mind?" I askHe turns around and looks at me."Nothing to worry about!" He says and puts on a fake smile.I shake my head at his fake smile. He just basically told me what's wrong with him. He misses Abby."You miss her." I say"I don't usually not have her around." He sighs"It's good she's learning to sleep away from home sometimes." I mention" I guess but.." Before he could finish I walk up and hug him. I feel his tears on my shoulder. I feel bad for him. He's a single dad and its hard. Abby's an angel. He doesn't like to be away from her. "Hey why don't we go enjoy the party?" I say. He grabs my hand and we walk into the house again."I'm going to go wipe my face quickly." He says and walks into the washroom.Jess comes up to me. "What's wrong with Jeffory ?" She asksI shrug acting like nothing's wrong thenGarroth calls her over.----------The party's over and Jefforys mom is keeping Abby overnight. "Hey, maybe could I come over tonight and hang out so you arnt lonely?" I ask"S-sure." He saysI smile and we get in his truck. "Your a good friend." He says quietly. "I try." I joke.He chuckles a bit.He slips his hand into mine and we drive the rest of the way singing out favorite song.Renegades.And I say hey hey ehh living like we're Renegades.
