Marco
We sat in my car in an awkward silence trying to avoid her situation at hand.
"Do you wanna play some music?"
"Um sure... can I get the aux? Or is it Bluetooth?"
"Bluetooth."
"What is it called?"
"Umm... mommas little boy."
"What?!"
"Nothing!"
"Ok, well that's a noted red flag."
Hmm?
"Why are you noting red flags on me?"
"Because... you're a potential friend."
"I thought we were already friends?"
"Then I guess we are."
She said as I started up the car.

Maybe I was falling for his kindness, but I wouldn't let anything happen just yet. I gotta give him a run for his money.
I didn't know what song to play so I played the song that I was already listening to.
"Do you know this song, Marco?"
I covered the Bluetooth screen before I started playing it.
"Yea, 'walk me home' by searows right"
He started singing the melancholy lyrics.
Que the music
"After the flood comes."
"You and I know."
"There will be waves."
Then I started singing with him.
"Enough to carry you."
"And when the moon moves us."
"Out of her sight."
"I'll play the songs."
"Like the ones she dances to."
"Oh darlin'."
"Oh darlin'."
"Will you still walk me home?"
"my sister and I would listen to this song together after her and our dad got in fights."
"They must get into a lot of fights huh?"
"Yea but it was only because they were so alike. They don't get into fights anymore though."
"Well that's good right?"
Why did he seem so sad?
"Well,she died."
Oh
"Oh, I'm sorry"
"No it's okay, she's gone there's nothing you should be sorry for."
There was a long pause of silence in the car
"My parents died two years ago."
"Oh, if you don't mind me asking how was your relationship with them."
