Through Ruby Glass

(12:34pm)

Myla packed up her bag, and walked down the stairs.
"Well mom, I'm gonna go now"
She presses a kiss to her mothers cheek, as she walks out the door. "Be safe sweetie" She hears her mother call out.

Walking down the street, she stops at the bus station.
When she gets on the bus, she sits at the front of the bus, as it was packed.
It's 1 hour into the drive, when someone gets on.

As soon as she saw him, she immediately knew who he was.

"Oh my gosh Leo"
His green eyes look up at her, and a smile spreads on his face.
"Myla, oh my, how long has it been"
His Brooklyn accent coming out.
He takes the seat next to her.
"I don't know like 3 years"

Leo, otherwise known as Leonardo hart, was Myla's childhood best friend.
They drifted apart after highschool, as they went to study in different cities.
They kept on chit chatting, until Myla fell asleep on his shoulder.
Not wanting to disturb her, he didn't get down on his stop. It was only 20 minutes away from staten island, it wouldn't hurt.

After three hours of the bus ride, staten island was called.
Waking her up gently, he called her name.
"Myla, hey wake up"
Her eyes flutter open, and she immediately removes her head from his shoulder, her cheeks red of embarrassment.

"Well it was nice seeing you Leo, I got your phone number, I'll text you"
She gives him a warm smile, and steps off the bus. She realizes it started raining hard, and she was gonna get all wet.
All of a sudden the she doesn't feel the rain hit her anymore. She looked up, and there was an umbrella placed above her head, and when she turned, it was Leo, holding his umbrella above her.

"Come on I'll walk you home"
"You live in staten Island?"
He chuckles, as he hands her the umbrella, which she takes.
"No my stop was before yours, but you were sleeping"
She feels guilty knowing he missed his stop because of her.
They keep on walking until, they reach her apartment complex.
"Well this is me"
She goes to hand him the umbrella back, but he refuses.
"But you'll get sick, come on, take it"
He shakes his head, and brings her in for a hug"
I'll call you, bye"
She tells him goodbye, and off he went, getting soaked from the rain.

She went inside her apartment, breathing in her home scent.
She opened the fridge, and took out an orange soda. Sipping on it, she decides to put Daniel's number into her phone.

Sending him a "hey, this is Marline".
She eventually goes to sleep, her mind at peace.
