2024-10-29 19:42:56When I walk Six out, I head into the kitchen to make some coffee. I don’t think anybody else is home since I never heard Jameson come in last night and my parents are out of town. As I’m sitting in the living room playing video games, Jameson comes in with Ethan and Cam in tow.
“Oh good, you’re up. I didn’t see Six’s car here, she leave already?” I nod.
“Alright, so I was thinking since we have the house to ourselves all weekend, we order some pizzas, drink a bunch of beers and get super high. Thoughts?”
“First thought: We don’t have any more weed,” I say.
“Alright I’ll call TJ then and we’ll go get some.” TJ goes to WestSide and is our usual hook up for weed. His stuff

When Monday rolls around, I’ve decided to just ask her about it. I need to know. I show up early and wait for her in the parking lot. When she pulls up and sees me she smiles and walks over to me, but frowns when she sees the look on my face, “Hey, you okay? Did something happen?”“Why didn’t you tell me you had a kid?” I blurt out. I had intended to be a little more tactical about that but no turning back now. I see the shock and confusion on her face.“What are you talking about? I don’t have a kid.”“Seriously, Six? I could kind of understand you just not telling me, but to straight up lie to my face? I saw you at the grocery store on Saturday!”Realization crosses her face and then she says, &ldq
Six Like the Number I Want You
*Six's POV*“So we’re already late for Calculus, so we should just do something else instead,” Axle suggestsas he holds me tight against him.“What did you have in mind?” I ask, giving him a cheeky smile.“My car has a very spacious back seat,” he says with a wink. I smile and say, “I wonder what we could do with all that space?”“Shall we find out?” he asks me. I nod and he opens the door for me, squeezing my butt when I climb in. We definitely found out what we could do with that space, and we will most definitely be having a repeat performance at some point.Afterwards, we just sit there for a bit, me straddling his legs with my head on his shoulder. I feel like maybe this could actually work. He hasn’t run away screaming yet so that’s a good sign. I definitely didn’t expect him to react well to the whole “I’m basically a parent to a

*Axle's POV*As I’m waiting outside, I feel strangely nervous. What if he doesn’t like me? When I see Six walk out with the little boys hand in hers, I can’t help but smile. They walk up to me and she says, “Theo, this is Axle. He’s going to come with us to the park.”I kneel down so that I’m at his level and say, “Hi Theo.”“Hello,” he says back. I can’t get over how much he looks like Six. Up close, it’s even moreobvious. He has her same blonde hair and exactly the same greenish-blue eyes.“Can we go to the park now?” He asks me. I look up at Six and she says, “Yeah, buddy, we’regoing now.” I stand up and she starts walking. I look down when I feel a little hand grab mythumb and see Theo holding on to me. I look at Six and she’s smiling at me. My heart squeezes and I can’t help but smile back at her.Once we ge

And we have a show booked next weekend so we’re basically fucked,” Drew tells me.“Axle can sing,” I blurt out. I look at him and quickly add, “Sorry that just came out. Probably should have let you offer if you wanted to. No pressure.”“No, it’s fine. I didn’t know you guys were in a band.”“Yeah, I play bass and occasionally vocals, Nate plays the drums and then Connor, from the basketball team plays guitar and we had Brent from the football team as our rhyt

*Six's POV*On Saturday, I go watch Paradox play their set. They play at an outdoor venue at some sort offair. Of course they’re incredible. I expected nothing else. The crowd loves them and I’m fairlyconvinced they could actually go somewhere with this. After the gig, he takes Theo and me outto dinner. We’re waiting on our food when my phone rings. The caller I.D. says it’s St.Jude’sHospital and my heart stops. I answer it and say, “Hello?”“Six, it’s me.”“Jordan?” I say, confused.“Jordan?!” Axle says, anger flashing across his face. I ignore him and listen to the words coming through the phone.“Yeah, you need to come to the hospital. Laura OD’d at my house with my dad. I brought her to the hospital but you need to get here.”“I’m on my way,” I tell him and then hang up the phone.“I

I’m not sure how long we sitlike that when Jordan comes back over. I lift my head and try to ignore the hurt in his eyes when he looks at us.“Here, I stopped by your house and grabbed you some comfortable clothes and coffees. I didn’tknow what you take, so yours is just black,” He says to Axle.“Uh, yeah, black is good. Thanks man,” I can tell he’s surprised that Jordan thought to get himone but I’m not. Jordan can be really kind and thoughtful when he wants to be.I get up and take the bag to the bathroom to change. I peel off my jeans, remove the pink blouse I was wearing to dinner and throw on the black leggings and pull the purple hoodie over my head. No surprise Jordan picked this one. he bought it fo

She texts Shaunice that we’ll pick Theo up in the morning and we head up to her apartment.She unlocks the front door and then goes to the left down a hallway and unlocks another door.“You have a lock on your bedroom door?”“Yeah, on mine and Theo’s. I have to keep them locked when I’m not here to stop my motherfrom stealing our stuff and selling it for drug money.”“Oh. I see," I reply, instantly regretting asking the question.She unlocks her door and I see a double bed shoved into the far corner with a nightstand beside it and a desk beside that. There’s a door that I assume is for the closet on the wall to my right and a dresser against the one to my left, opposite the bed. She’s got little lights strung at the top o

*Six's POV*About 15 minutes after the band leaves to go set up, we all head out to the dance floor right in front of the stage to secure our places before the hoard gets too large.The head of the prom committee comes on stage to introduce them and then the curtains open. Axle looks down and winks at me so I blow him a kiss back.They start their set and do several songs that are definitely more on the pop end of the spectrum than I’m used to hearing them play. That was probably intentional seeing as most people here would not be into hearing some of their more obscure music. I wonder if the committee had a say in these song choices.Everyone is singing along and dancing and at the end of one song, Axle goes right up to the mic and says, “Alright

Paradox has been practicing a lot and doing gigs all around town and everyone has been studying like crazy to make sure we all graduate, and for Six, to make sure she keeps her scholarship. We’ve all finished our exams and tonight is prom night, to be followed a few days after that by graduation.It’s decided that we’ll all get ready at my place and early afternoon everyone shows up and the girls retreat upstairs. Apparently hair and make up is a big production for them. My mom offered to let them all use her room and the ensuite and even said she would help them out. I think she secretly always hoped for a daughter. Her and Six have been getting really close, which makes them and me happy.

I was worried for a long time that if I lost her it would mean losing him too. I hug him for longer than usual and he starts to squirm so I put him down and he runs off.

Can you come down the station as soon as possible?”“Did you find her?” He pauses and the dead air over the phone all but confirms my thoughts.“We think so. I can’t say much over the phone, though. Do you have someone who can come with you?”“Yeah," I say, completely numb to emotion.“Okay, see you soon," he tells me.
Six Like the Number N*****x and Chill
*Axle's POV*When I wake up in the morning, I realize I’m pressed very close to the wall and I understand why when I lift my head up to see Theo on the other side of Six, snuggled into her side. She did tell me he does this sometimes.I lie my head back down and attempt to go back to sleep, but not long after, I feel movement in the bed. Six feels pretty still so it must be Theo. I look over just in time to see him stretch and smack her right in the face with his hand by accident. She wakes up, startled and moves his hand back down to his side. I gently rub my hand up and down her leg and she says,”How long have you been up?”“Not long. Maybe 5 minutes. Just long enough to see him assault you in his sleep," I say jokingly.“Yeah, he ca

Idon’t know why though. It’s not like I really have anything to worry about.Before I can get too deep into my spiral, the secretary says, “Miss. Keller? Mr. Hawthorn will see you now.” I get up and take Theo’s hand, following the lady back to an office. I see James Hawthorn sitting behind his desk and he gives me a warm smile before saying, “Welcome, please have a seat.”My mom and I each take one of the chairs and I sit Theo on my lap.“Right, so as discussed, Miss Laura Keller will be relinquishing custody of Theo Keller to you.
