I packed up some stuff. I didn't want to stay in my room any longer than necessary, so I just threw some things in my bag. My curtains were virtually gone, I had no window anymore, and part of my wall and carpet were scalded.
   I came around the front of the house where some officers were, talking to Koda. She was nodding and conversating, then came back in to me.
   "They're gonna be here until the window people get here."
   I nodded.
"Thank you boys." Koda said to the officers.
     I sat at my table as I had most of the morning, and waited. The hoys were all standing around one of the trees in my yard. Luke caught me watching them.
   I quickly looked away, just in time.
"Alright." Koda came up from the bathroom, with a Snickers bar.
  "TELL ME you had that BEFORE you walked in there." I sighed.
   "Yes." She laughed. "It was in my pocket. I just opened it when I was in the hallway."
   "Okay." I let out another breath. I never know what to expect.
   She offered me some of the candy just as everyone was coming back inside-the boys I mean.
   "I'll take some." Michael said, opening his mouth.
  "Uh, how about no." She said, then returned her attention back to me. "Okie doke, are you ready to go?"
   "Sure are." I was ready for some long hours of sleeping in Koda's house-just peace and quiet, aside from her cats and her Shepard.
"You guys wanna ride?"
Volcanoes-with-lazers-pew-pew.
   "Well," Ashton looked at the boys.
"Here, you guys ride with me. Bree, you can take Luke."
   I stood up and carried my stuff for us to go. I pulled her to the side. "What in the literal hell."
   Her expression changed from playfulness to immediate concern. "Do you, do you really not want them to come?"
   It was tense for a minute. I then smiled and pushed her arm. "I'm just messing around."
   She sighed. "Okay, wooh. I was scared."
We began to walk out together, down the steps and out to our vehicles. The boys were all standing there waiting.
   "Uh, we can't go."
Koda and I stopped. "What do you mean?"
   Luke stepped up to us. "We can't go. We have a meet-and-greet that we forgot about."
   "We can take you."
He shook his head. "We'll just skate over there. We are gonna be at the mall anyway, and management will need to take us."
  "Okay."
I felt just a little sad. I kind of wanted them to come.
   Luke came and hugged me. It was out of the norm, not what I was expecting. He held me tight, tucked his head into my neck (though he was hella taller than me), and thanked me and apologized again.
  Koda went over to them. "You get done, you check out of your hotel and come to my house." She handed them a paper. "Here's the address, the first number is mine, and the second is Bree's."
   They took it.
I smiled and Luke smiled, and it was so beautiful. He was so beautiful.
  "See ya' later Pretty Blondey."
Yes you will. ☺.
