I wake up to the feeling of something hard but comfortable. I wanna stay there forever.

I open my eyes fully and see it's Sam. I'm laying on his chest. Oh no what did I do. I quickly get up and start looking for my phone. I find it on the floor. I need to text my mom that I'm okay, she's probably worried sick. God what did I do. I see that she's called me like twenty times and sent me messages asking where I am and why I wasn't home. I quickly call her.

"Hello? Carson? honey is it you?" She's that worried that she's asking if it's me. Calling her. From my own phone.

"Hey mom, yeah it's me. I'm so sorry, I fell asleep at a friends house. I was just not doing well at school and didn't want to bother you and came to stay at their house. I'm so sorry."

"Oh honey, I'm so glad your okay. I thought—" her voice breaks into a sob. God I feel so guilty.
"Mom don't think like that, it's okay, I'm okay. I'll be home soon."

"Okay. I'm sorry, it's just you didn't come home and- oh honey just hurry. I wanna see you."

"Okay mom, I'm coming. I love you bye."

"I love you so much sweetie. I'll see you soon bye."

I hang up

I wipe the tear that escaped me and finally look at my surroundings and notice Sam

He's staring at me

"Are you okay?" He asks

No I'm not

"Yeah, I am better thanks for everything. I just wanna get home to my mom, she's worried sick."

"Okay, just let me get changed and I'll take you."

"No, it's okay. I can walk—"

"No way. I wouldn't do that to you, I'm driving you."

"Okay fine, I'll just wait here."

"Okay, I'll be back. I'm just gonna tell my mom your
Here so she doesn't get any ideas when she sees you."

"What do you mean?" I ask curious

"I mean that we hooked up kind of idea or your my girlfriend or something."

"Oh, yeah right."

"Yeah, okay be right back don't go anywhere."

"Gee where ever could I go." I say very sarcastically "leave you ass whole so your mom doesn't think I'm a whore." I say joking because I can't take this awkwardness. It's to weird.

"Okay, okay, and by the way she would never say that about you."

Once we get to my house and he parks the car he speaks but I don't hear him I don't listen to him I just sit there. I just need a little before I have to pretend I'm okay again. Just a little more time before I have to act happy and like life couldn't be better. When in reality it couldn't be worse.
