"Well if I didn't know better I'd say Scott is turning almost normal. And I said almost so that doesn't give you approval to fall into his lap again." Lily speaks as she lay on my bed, her weight resting on one elbow.

I braid my hair into a side fishtail and scoff internally at her words. Funnily enough, normal is the exact thing I had thought Hardin to be that day.

And today after three days, I'm getting the Lily Preston commentary on it, now that I narrated everything to her.

"Well sounds like you do know better. And I am not falling into whatever-"

Falling into Hardin's lap, is sounding such a bad idea, even if she only just speaks it, and my mind takes the trouble of painting me a picture of it. Oh god.

"Tell me Theresa Young, he's still a red flag right."

"Yes, Liliana Preston, he is. We just had a- pit stop."

He is a red flag. For all I know, he is THE red flag of my life. And these pit stops- I don't even know where to start with them. Hardin started these, with his own set of rules, and he had easily ended it with a fight.

I believe his exact words were-

Pit stops have rules, no judgments after, you forget that it ever happened.

You should be more open minded you know, use people, and then just let them go.

I enjoyed my day. More than any day. And now the overthinking is enjoying my peril.

Use people, and then just let them go- it makes my blood freeze. Was Hardin just, using me? But it doesn't make any sense, there was nothing to use someone for. What could he possibly get out of a simple fun, happy day? And besides, it's not like he didn't enjoy as well.

I hate how this boy has to act on both the extreme ends of the normalcy spectrum. One day he's fire, one day he's ice. He just can't be intermediate anything.

The point anyway remains that it was an amazing day in a long while, and Hardin may be having rules- but I just don't have it in me to 'forget it ever happened'.
