We arrived at the store, an reed put her arm over my shoulder protectively as we walked in.
"I'm okay walking by myself Reed."
"Nah people here are crazy."
I gently removed her arm from my shoulder.
"Reed I lived in california, near LA I'm okay I've seen worst."
"Whatever" she said and picked up her pace.
I was already running a little.
"Reed slow down" she reluctantly walked slower. I was speed walking to catch up to her.
"Where are they?"
"What?"
"How would you know?" She asked
"Reed it says it up there" I said pointing at the signs "And I use to go to target every day when I lived in cali."
"Okay then where is this?" She showed me her phone, It was just tire cleaner.
I walked her over to the car stuff, and we skimmed the aisle. We found it, and she grabbed one.
"Don't you think you should buy more?" I asked
"No why would I"
"I mean it's a long drive from our town to here, it's like a hour and a half." She grabbed two more, and we walked to the register, and paid.
We got back to the car, and she looked at me.
"Pretty smart" she said, and we stared our drive back home.
"Hold on let me ask my mom something real quick."
Mommy❤️

"What do you mean?"
"You don't like staying at home?"
"Nope"
"Why?"
"Oh nothing I just like being out."
"Well do you want to come over?" She asked rubbing her neck with her hand.
"You want me to come over to your house?" I asked in a suspicious tone.
"Yea why would I ask."
"Uh I don't know, maybe if nick isn't home when we get there then sure."
"K"
