It's you

Chapter 4

Stacey keeps looking at the watch on her wrist. She's really going to cry. She has been waiting for her parents for almost 2 hours. The tears fall on her cheeks at last even she tried her best not to fall that tears. She doesn't want people to see her like this but no one's there so that's okay.

A car stops in front of the bus stop. She quickly wipes her tears and keeps her head down, looking at the ground so the driver doesn't see her horrible face right now and she's hoping that whoever the person in the car is, didn't see her crying.

"Hey, Stacey. Why are you still here? Did you missed the bus?", it's Ashton's voice. Thank God! Stacey lifts her head up. Realizing that her face might look horrible, she covers her face with her left hand.

"Yes. My mom can't picks me because her car has broken and dad is still at the hospital.", she answers.

"Can you give me a ride?", she continues.

"Sure."

"Oh my God! Thank you!", she says thankfully as she stands up. A single tear falls down her cheek and she doesn't care anymore if Ashton sees how horrible her face is. She opens the front door of the car and gets in. On the way home, Ashton keeps glancing at her and she realizes that.

"Do you wanna say something?", she turns to him.

"Why are you crying?", he asks. Actually he has been watching her since she's talking with someone on her phone at the bus stop. He wonders why she's crying after picking the second call. Stacey fears of that question. Ashton might be laughing at her if he finds the reason out, she's positive about that.

"Nothing.", she answers shortly.

"Don't lie."

"Nothing.", she repeats the same answer.

"Okay.", he says shortly. He has changed, he's not like before who would never stop asking until she told him the truth.

Stacey's eyelid feels heavy and suddenly her world becomes blank. She's really tired today. It's a very long day for her. She doesn't know how long has she been sleeping until she feels something moves her shoulder and hears someone is calling her name.

"Hmm..", she opens her eyes slowly and sees Ashton while his hands are on both of her shoulders.

"We're home.", Ashton says softly, pointing at her house.

"Oh..", she grabs her bag and gets out from Ashton's car. She starts to make a way toward her house but after taking a few steps, she turns to Ashton who's still in his car, waiting for her to get in the house.

"Thanks.", she says and he smiles as he nods.

"Mom! I'm home!", Stacey announces as she gets in the house then mom shows up in astonishment.

"Who picked you? Where's your dad?", she asks in curiosity.

"Ash gives me a ride.", tells her.

"You both have already make up?", Stacey just shrugs at her question.

"Make dad knows that I'm home.", She says when she at the stairs heading to her bedroom.

"Okay", her mother replies with smile on her lips. Finally, they become friends again.
