The Heart of Cars

Chapter 18

This chapter was erased for some reason and I'm not quite sure what it had in it. I'm sorry if it is different than the original but I still hope you enjoy it and it will be short since I have no idea what was in it before.

"Hey. How's it going?" I say as I sit there next to Colton. "Good. How is Brittany doing?"

"She is good. Back to normal already." He gives me a strange look but I ignore it and get off the hood. "Come on. Time to get back I think." He nods as he gets off the hood. He gets into the car and starts it up. Carefully driving back to the mall in silence, I watch out the window and try to figure out who I saw at the mall. We get to the mall faster than I would have liked but I get out anyways. "Thanks for helping us." I look at the ground and wait for him to leave. "No problem. I'll see you around Jo." I nod and get in my car. I wait there until he gets in his car before I pull out and go to the hotel. I lock my car and go up to my room. "Hey dad?" I yell and he isn't anywhere around. I call for him a few more times before I give up. I look around and sit on the couch to turn on a movie. I grab the blanket on the back of the couch and wrap it around me. I watch mindlessly as the pictures move across the screen. I let my mind wonder to random things until the movie ends. I shut off the television and refold the blanket. I set the blanket on the back of the couch before I move to my room. I lay there and curl up under my blankets. I hear the door open a little after ten at night and close almost immediately. My mind goes straight to the fact that it could be my dad and my body stays where it is. I hear them in the kitchen as my body drifts deeper into sleep. I hear glass clink together and cupboards open and shut. I lay there and wonder why my dad would be looking through the kitchen before I fall into a deep sleep.
