Trouble

Chapter 5 - The other one

So he ask me if he could go with me to town so he could find his way back. I didn't 'll him yes, but I didn't tell him no either. I just continue my way to the drug store to buy me some ice cream.

We have an ice cream shop, but it's on the other side of town. I use to go there all the time with my Dad, but he had stopped taking me.

Thinking about him made me upset all over again. He used to be my best friend. My Dad. Now it seems all I am to him is a fly he never seem to get rid of. He has his moments when he's my Dad and acts concern. But those don't last long enough.

I stopped in front of the drug store. "The hardware is right down there, "I tell him even though I am pretty sure he knows that. He heads that way.

Cold air blew on me as I walled in. I grabbed me a chocolate fudge cone and went to the counter to pay for it. "Alex?"

I turn around to who ever call my name. Jackson.

"Hey I haven't seen you since-"

"I would stay and hang but I have to go" I tell him, cutting him off. I do not need a reminder of that night.

I handed a five to the cashier and headed out the door.

Jackson followed me outside. "I just wanted to see how you're doing, ya know."

"I'm doing fine" I head to the hardware store.

He catches up to me and grabs my arm and I stopped surprise. My fist automatically balls up. I can't help it. It's like another person takes over when I'm under pressure or something trouble, even of it is harmless.

"Can't we just talk. I'm headed over to Brian's, come with me."

I was no longer there. A different voice came out of my mouth, so familiar.

"Get your hands off me"

Jackson knows this voice. And from how quickly he removed his hand and remembers that night too. I kept walking, not hearing him behind me anymore. "You know you can talk to me Alex."

He sounded far and I was in front of the hardware store. I said nothing. I walked in.
