Second Life

Only family

A week passed by quickly, Henry and Tiana being the new couple, they are way too lovey- dovey which is kind of gross. Watching your two best friends cuddling on the sofa while all of us are sitting right in front them, Henry doing her sweet things like feeding her once in a while and out of all those kissing each other good bye if one them has to go out. The others are same Jake and Nash as usual arguing about silly things, While the girls went shopping buying unnecessary things, Xavier was over excited every day as he was told to open only one gift per day. Sansa and Patrick visiting us every other day. Abby was acting unusual, he is being to himself, always thinking about something and when we ask him he kept denying. I felt it strange but I think he has things that he wanted to figure out.

 It's Friday, we are spending the weekend at his grandparents house, All the others are going to a party but as I promised Abby I am going with him to his grand parents house. Their house is 2 hours ride from our campus. I have completed all my classes for the day and waiting at the main gate for Abby to come pick me up. 

Finally he arrived, he was late by half and hour which is also unusual as he doesn't like if anyone is late. He likes people who are punctual and are on time. I am just scared to ask him if he is alright, or is something going on, I am scared if he might think I am crossing the line.

we are 15 minutes into the ride yet I sat there silently not even uttering a word a word and he didn't as well. The only sound that is heard in the car is from the songs being played. I am starting to get worried now but I am waiting patiently for him to open up.

after another 5 mins he talked, " so what is wrong with you?"

his question made me laugh but suppressing my laugh I said " with me? nothing why?"

"Its just that you are unusually silent which is scaring me, you like to talk." 

"nothing is wrong with me, I want to ask you something for a while now, but I am just scared if I am crossing the line or something that you don't want to tell."

"what line are you talking about? we never had any lines between us to cross in the first place and how long were you waiting  to ask me about this something?"

"for about a week I guess?" I said lowering my head.

"woah! you definitely waited for a very long time. anyway what is it that you wanted to ask me that took you a week and still hesitating to ask?"

"what is wrong with you?"

"what ? he asked confused and looked at me briefly before concentrating on driving again and then he spoke, what do you mean what is wrong with me he asked his eyebrows furrowing."

"I mean you have been acting differently the past week, you mind is always wandering and when ever I ask you, you would just deny it or ignore my question, you looked like you lost something and you were still grieving about that."

"oh you noticed that? you are such a great observer" he tried to joke but it wasn't funny at all so I glared at him.

he immediately cleared his throat and composed himself took a deep breath and was trying very hard to tell me something but I stopped him again.

"you know what, I don't want to know about it anymore, lets just go to your grandparent house, have a great weekend and then come back."

"No I want to tell you but I think I am not brave enough to tell that out loud." he replied softly.

"you don't have to if you cannot but remember I will be all ears when ever you want to"

"thank you" he replied and there is silence again.
