Mike

"wait"
i stopped him,i was standing behind him now, no turning back.

"it's late out and the bus service stopped already and i was hoping that you could drive me back? you don't need to tho-"

"i'll do it"

he replied faster than i thought, i just looked back at him and smiled.his hands were in his green hoodie, stuffed inside, he seemed cold but i was too scared to say anything.

he opened up the car door for me and i slid in,i watched as he sat in the driver's seat, starting the car.

"so why don't you have a car?"

"i failed my driving license three times"

he burst out laughing, i couldn't help but start laughing a bit too, his smile was amazing.

"im sorry i really am oh my god but that's so funny"

"I guess you'll be driving me around alot more"

he looked at me smiling, i couldn't help but return the grin, i think we were actually being friends. besides the awkwardness at max's house.

"oh i live at third street"

"really? i live on second"

"funny coincidence "

he began driving, picking up speed a bit, he lowered his window breathing in the air,will byers, i thought to myself.

why have i never heard of him before.

he seemed fun, wind in his hair enjoying the night drive, the streets were empty, nothing but the sound of the car. a comfortable silence.

nothing but quiet streets,i watched as he took a sharp turn to third,he was a good driver.

he pulled over, and turned back at me and smiled.

"text me?"

"I'll text you"

i said smiling walking towards the front step of my house, hearing the car drive away not too far.

i stuffed my hands in my pocket moving around until i got a grab of my keys and phone, i opened the door, with my phone in my other hand.

the house was empty,no, quiet.

i unlocked my phone and immediately opened my chat with will. he was strange. nice.

i walked up to my room, taking off my jacket and setting it on my coat rack before sitting myself down on the cold floor.

seen 02:59 am

I took one final glance at my phone before setting it down and taking a fresh set of clothes and bringing myself to the shower.

.

as I stood in the warm water pouring down on me, when washing my hair I thought, st.johns cafe, their food was good, not as good as my cafe but.

he'll be picking me up tomorrow morning, I'll have to try to not look like death. is this a date? I must be crazy to think so I mean my girlfriend just dumped me a few days ago, but at the same time I always knew we weren't going to last.

she never really loved me I guess, maybe she liked me but just not in a romantic way at least.

was today going to be fun?

I got out of the shower drying myself off with a towel hanging out.

.

as I dried myself off,I was still very much tired. but not tired enough to think about what later in the morning would be like?

what were we even supposed to talk about, how would a conversation even start off I mean I could start a conversation with my friends easily but how would it even go now that I focus on it, we barely know eachother and  now we're going out to meet?

at this point I don't know where my head was, I was full on panicking over something that didn't need to be panicked over.

maybe I was just tired.

.

I lied down on my bed begging myself to fall asleep so I could take my mind off of this.after a while I eventually fell asleep inching towards a nightmare.
