Car crash

Part 5.

"Leslie?" A familiar voice calling my name, getting my full attention. I spinned around and seen Ryder, looking down at me with a confused and concerned face.

"Woah woah woah, are you crying?" He asked, getting closer.

I hurried and wiped my tears, before looking at him. I faked a smile and shook my head, "no..?" I said, trying to hide the fact that I was.

"Leslie, I know your lying.. What's wrong?" He asked, getting more sterned. I didn't wanna tell him, because I knew if I did then it would probably create drama, and I really don't wanna cry more.

"It's nothing.. I- I just don't wanna talk about it right now.." I said, avoiding eye contact.

"Okay.. Well I was about to leave.. do you need a ride home?" He asked, looking at Leslie, waiting for a reply.

The words, ride home got my attention, I really didn't wanna stay here longer, then I have too. It was already bad enough that so many people were looking at me and already gossiping. "Yes please.. I don't wanna stay here any longer.. I just want to sleep and drown everything away." I said, looking down, my vision becoming blurry every second. All I wanted to do, was sleep, forget this day.. It was going so good.. until.. I got that notification

"Alright, come on I'll help you to my car" he said, looking at Leslie, being able to tell that she was ready to collapse. She nodded, he grabbed her arm and made it go around his neck and helped her towards his car.

When they arrived, he opened the passengers side and helped her in, "can you buckle yourself in, or do you want me to do it..?" He asked.

"I can.." She said, slurring. He nodded and closed the door, running to his side. Ryder opened the door, letting himself inside his car, and adjusting himself before slamming the door shut. He put his keys into the ignition, and started the car up and buckling himself up. Then driving away.

The night was surely here, the beautiful shiny stars and the moon was visible in the night sky. The car ride was filled with silence, Leslie looking out the window watching houses, trees and other things pass by her, while Ryder was driving, looking to this right to make sure she's alright. He was glad that the plan had worked, and he has his crush since that day he laid eyes on her, right next to him. He planned to bring her to his house, so he can help her with the bad hangover she's going to have in the morning.

He was driving through a dark street, the street lights barely lite up the sidewalks on the sides of the dark roads. The quietness was biting at him, making him annoyed of how quiet is, until he looked over and seen Leslie.

"Ate you ready to tell me what happened?" He asked, looking at her and then looking back, at the road.

Leslie sat there in silence, still looking out at the dark skies that were outside of the warm car. "No.." She said, quietly.

"Why?" He asked.

"Because.." She said.

"Why?"

"Because I don't want to tell you, damn it." She said, getting annoyed from him wanting to know so much, "why don't you want me to fucking not know" he asked, angrily.

"Because.. I just don't.. I feel like you already know any ways" she said.

Ryder looked over towards, Leslie. She was absolutely correct, he already knows, because he was in the plan. He simply just wanted her to admit what happened.
