Lonely eyes

Chapter 5

-------------------------------------------------------

I walk up the walk way to my house and wave one last time toward Colton while giving him a half hearted smile and sniffle from crying.

The last hour I had sat in Colton's car knowing he wouldn't let me leave till I told him the truth and once I started talking about it all I couldn't stop till it was all out. I told him things I've never told anyone something's I've never been able to say aloud to myself even, he listened and told me it was ok when I stopped due to my tears and sobs escaping my lips. I've never opened up to someone like I had just an hour ago, not even to all the counselors I've been to, not even to the two girls that are my best friends. To nobody... but him.

When I finished telling him everything that has happened from my dad passing away and what happened tonight from everything I've ever felt and held in, I put my head in my hands and just cried. I didn't push him away when he pulled me into a hug and just sat there for a couple minutes while my body unraveled its self, he had asked several times if I'd like to come home with him for just tonight he'd sleep on the couch but I denied the offer and am now stepping quietly inside my house.

I climb the stairs to my bedroom and avoid my step mother as I settle into the bathroom connected to my room. I take my ear rings out then remove the remaining make up from my eyes and step in the shower, letting the warm water relax my tease muscle as I begin to wash my hair and body before stepping out and wrapping a towel around myself.

I climb into bed around 2:30 am, I gaze out my window staring and searching the stars for all the consolation that I have memorized before drifting off to a blissful sleep.

"BRING"

I wake up to my phone alarm, sitting up in bed before swiping my phone open to read the messages and notifications I have received.

'Hey do you want a ride to school today~Colton'

I smile as butterflied and knots erupt inside my stomach, my eye brows pulling in confusion as I think 'I can't be crushing on him.. Can i? I just met him yesterday... although he knows more about me than anyone else.' I shrug it off and type a quick 'sure' before getting up heading towards my bathroom to do my morning routine.

**30 minutes later**

I rush down the stairs swiping my bag off its stand while rushing out the door and jumping into Colton's car. I get buckled as I say "sorry.. I was running a little late"

He smiles and says "it's ok everyone has those days." and pulls out from my drive way and head towards school.

He's wearing a plain white T-shirt with black skinny jeans, his black hair spiked up as always, "you look nice today" he says as he catches my eyes on him.

I blush and quickly turn away while murmuring "thanks, you to"

I glance down at my outfit, black leggings and a red baggy "Love" long sleep sweater with my combat boots covering my feet. My hair left in its natural brown waves with light simple natural make up.

I smile as I watch out the window and say, "you know I love watching out windows while I'm in a car, or bus or whatever" I laugh to my self then look from the window toward him as I continue, " I like watching the world past by so fast, it's like I'm tracking through life at this top speed and nothing can stop me."

He smiles at me while keeping his eyes on the road as he says "yeah I know the feeling."

Then silence, nice silence, for the rest of the drive to school.
