Okay, here's the second chapter of my story. I will also be trying to update at least once a day, but it might get hard with school, friends and appts.



Madison was the first to the car, leaning up against she gazed around at the know

deserted school. She watched as Don and Brian walked towards the car, laughing

and pushing each other. Madison tried to hide the tiny smile that was forming on

her lips. Not many people every saw her smile. It wasn't that she never smiled it

was just that she didn't find many things that funny. Yes, she did have a sense of

humor, but she didn't think that many of the childish jokes she heard were quite that

funny. Don pulled the key's from his pocket and opened the doors of the car.

Madison climbed into the backseat, setting her bag next to her. Brian climbed in

the front and smiled back at her. "Why didn't you want to sit next to Don? Afraid

he'll bite?" Brian questioned, giving a small laugh. Madison cracked a smile and

shook her head. Don glared at Brian as he climbed into the car. Brian just shook

his head as he stared out the window. Don started the car and pulled out of the

parking lot. He kept one hand on the steering wheel and used the other to place a

tape into the tape player. He turned the volume up loud as Brian and him started to

mouth along to the words. Madison let out a groan and covered her ears. She was

never a huge metal fan, instead settling for country. Brian laughed as he watched

her expression in the rear view mirror. Don glanced back at her and chuckled,

grabbing her wrist he pulled her hand away from her ear. "Learn to like it." he said

flashing her a small. She let out another groan, "Fine Dad." she said as she turned

her head and watched as the vast land passed by.


Don dropped Brian off first. Pulling up to his house Madison let out a small sigh.

She had been hoping that he would drop her off. It wasn't like she didn't want to be

alone with him, but it would be fairly ackward, just the two of them. She left her bag

in the backseat and climbed out of the car. Don raised an eyebrow, "Where are

you going?"

"I'm moving up front, no point in staying in the back." she said, waving at Brian as

he disappeared inside of the house. She slowly climbed in the front seat and

closed the door. Don took off down the driveway, heading in the direction of

Madison's house. A silence fell over them as the music continued faintly. Madison

followed her hands and glanced out the window. "So how's football practice?" she

questioned trying to break the silence. "Same old same old." he replied with a

smirk. "Coach is working us harder then ever." he said as he looked over at her.

Madison nodded her head, "Sound's like something he would do." she said as she

looked away from the window. "Hows my brother? Able to keep up with you guys?"

Madison's little brother Jason was only a sophomore, but coach said that he was

ready to play at Varsity level. Madison worried that he really wasn't ready and he

would end up getting hurt, maybe ending his carer as a football player. Don

nodded his head, "The kid can play some serious football. Maybe the next Boobie,

but white of course." Madison smiled and shook her head, "He wishes." Don let

out a laugh as he glanced back at the road.

Don pulled up to Madison's house and gave her a small smile. She smiled back

and climbed out of the car. "Thanks for the ride." she said reaching into the back

seat and grabbing her back pack. Don nodded his head, "Anytime." Madison

glanced up at her house and let out a sigh. She closed the door of the car and

watched as Don headed off down the road. She climbed the rickety stair case and

opened the front door. She was greeted by the smell of something cooking and her

younger sister, Kay's, loud voice as she practiced her singing in the room that they

shared. Her mother came out of the kitchen and smiled as she pulled her daughter

into a bear hug. "Hi mom." Madison managed to choke out as her mother kept

hugging her. "How was school?" her mother questioned as she let go. "Fine." she

replied as she set her back pack on the floor. She removed her sweatshirt and set

it over the back of the chair. Her mother smiled at her as she walked back into the

kitchen. Madison followed behind her, she walked into the kitchen and pulled out a

can of pop and flopped down on one of the stools that was placed at the counter.

She watched as her mother bustled about the kitchen. "When's dad coming

home?" she questioned as she took a sip of pop. Her mother turned to her and

gave a small shrug. Madison shook her head a bit as she picked the can of pop

and walked down the hallway to her bedroom.


There was the second chapter. Hope you liked it. Oh and the song Red Ragtop is by Tim McGraw. And Days Go By is by Keith Urban. Also I said that I was going to write in a girl named Ashley and I did, but I didn't mention her name, but Ashley is Madison's mom. Next chapter I will write in her dad and more with Jason.
