Mrs. Atkins has caught her husband off guard, but Noah and I kind of felt it coming. Jeremy had skipped his game to show up and say a few words to me after my practice? With Coach cutting him off, I'm sure he still had more to say.
They both went into a discussion as Noah and I snuck away. As soon as we got to our room, he turned to me. "You didn't want to stay? And have a say in whether you see him or not?"
"I trust your mom and dad." I replied simply. I put my backpack in the corner. "They wouldn't do anything to hurt me. At all. So if they think I shouldn't see him, then I won't." I smiled at him. "You guys are more family to me than he is anyways."
Noah smiled proudly. "Yea, they are great, aren't they?"
We completed our routine of taking turns in the shower and getting dressed for dinner. Once everyone was gathered around the table with food on every plate, Mr. Atkins cleared his throat.
