*Will's POV*
*after school*

The bell rung and I practically ran outside. I needed some answers from Alexia. I get to the car park and look around for Alexia. I see her leaning against a blue motorcycle. I walk towards her and wait for her to look up from her phone.

"Hi. I like your bike." I like your bike, that's the best you could come up with? "Hey. So you want to talk about my drawings. We'll talk. But I need to go home first."

"Why do you need to go home? Do you need to switch bikes?" I joke. Ya, I know lame joke. "Sorta. I need to get my grandparents' car." She lifts up the seat and grabs a helmet and throws it at me. I luckily catch it. She get on the bike and straps on a helmet of her own then looks at me.

"Well, are you gonna get on or stand there like an idiot?" She asks rudely. But I just shrug it off. I quickly strap on the helmet and get on. I put my hands on her shoulders.

She grabs my hands and wraps them around her waist. "You'll fall off if you don't hold on tight. My shoulders aren't exactly the best place to hold on to." I wrap my arms tighter around her and we take off.

We arrive at her house after about 20 minutes. We get off and go inside her huge house. "Wow, this is incredible. Where is your family?" I see her tense at the word family. "They're not here. Come on, let's go to my room real quick."

I follow her to her room and I put my bag on the ground, as she does. "I have to grab a car seat. Go downstairs and make yourself at home." I do as she says and make myself at home. I feel snacky so I go into the kitchen and grab an apple. After a couple minutes Alexia comes down in sweats with her hair in a ponytail carrying a car seat.

"Come on we have to go pick up my little brother." I follow her to the garage and she starts setting up the car seat. I get in the passenger side and sit there awkwardly. She gets in and starts driving to what I assume is her brother's school.

We arrive at an elementary school and we sit out front in the benches. "Okay here's what's gonna happen. In 5 minutes the school gets out. I'm going to drive the three of us to my secret spot. Then I'll answer all your questions. Sound good?"

"Yep, sounds great. So how old is your brother?" I ask curiously.

"He's 6 years old, and he's in kindergarten." She answers. I notice a small smile on her lips.

"What's his name? And why did you have to switch cars to pick him up?" She looks up at me, the smile barely there.

"His name is Calum. And he can't ride on my bike, too dangerous for him. I don't need to lose anyone else." She whispers the last part, looking back down. I guess she thought I couldn't hear her.

Soon kids fill the courtyard, and a little boy runs over to us. Alexia stands up and I thought I saw her wipe a tear away, but I chose not to ask about it.

"Sissy! Look what I made!" The boy- I'm guessing Calum- said to her. "That's great honey." She says as she picks him up. He looks at me as if he just realized I was there. His smile widens- as if that's possible- and waves at me.

"Hi, I'm Calum. Are you sissies boyfriend? Are you gonna be my new daddy?" He asks excitedly. A give Alexia a look when he mentions the words new and daddy.

"No honey, he's not my boyfriend. And he's not going to be your new daddy. Lets get going, we're going to my secret spot." I hear the sadness in her voice when she tells him I'm not going to be his dad, but she quickly recovers.

We go to the car and she straps him into his car seat. And off we go, to her secret place. I have so many questions running through my head.
