I'm now in the front yard smoking a cigarette, wondering if Bennett really is gonna show. Part of me wants him to, I want to know what he's going to do and say. Everyone here is drunk off of their asses so I'm sure it wouldn't even be noticed by others if he came.

I soon see a black BMW pull up in the front yard. The windows are tinted so I can't see inside, but I recognize the car when I see it at school and I quickly put together that it is in fact, Bennett. He actually came...

The car turns off and Bennett climbs out of the car and sees me immediately, not looking happy at all. Shit... He walks straight to me, frustration all over his face.

"You're completely intoxicated, aren't you?" He growls when he approaches me.

I can't help but giggle, the alcohol in my bloodstream making it difficult for me to stay serious. "You came!" I exclaim, sounding more excited than him.

He rolls his eyes at me and huffs, "Get in the car, I'm taking you home."

"To your home?" I ask, adding a wink.

He shakes his head at me in disapproval. "No, to your home."

I pout and shake my head, "But I wanna have fun! And I won't have fun at home alone!"

"Just get in the fucking car, Allison." He demands, sounding more frustrated than before.

I finally give up, he's a stubborn bull and I'm too drunk to win an argument with this difficult man. I sigh and begin walking to his car, when I suddenly feel sick. Too drunk to care, I lean over and throw up on Olivia's front lawn.

"Shit." Bennett mutters and quickly comes behind me to hold back my hair, patting my back gently. "There, there."

I throw up a couple more times until I get it all out and stand back up straight, facing Bennett now. I'm completely embarrassed, but not as embarrassed as I'll be tomorrow once I'm sobered up.

"Better?" He asks in calm voice. I only nod and he puts an arm around me and leads me to the passenger door of his car and lets me in.

"Can I stay with you tonight?" I ask him once he gets back into the car. I can't go home and face Emily like this. Not that she'll get mad and tell my parents, but she definitely won't be happy with me. Not like my parents would give a damn, anyway.

He doesn't respond right away, he focuses on the road ahead and drives out of the neighborhood before replying. He lets out a sigh before answering my question, "That's not a good idea, Allison." He tells me nicely, but sternly.

I sigh, I know he's right, but for some reason I want to stay with him tonight. He made me so angry early, but I'm drunk and vulnerable now. "I'm already in your car." I finally tell him.

He seems frustrated again, but not at me, just in general. He narrows his eyes on the road, eyebrows furrowed as if he's thinking. "I know. And this is never happening again, you're deleting me from Facebook, and we are going to have a professional, student-teacher relationship."

Now I'm frustrated, he's so up and down. He clearly doesn't know what he wants, but I know what I want. Him. "It's too late for that! We kissed, you picked me up from a high school party and now I'm in your car. You can't pretend nothing has happened."

"Why do you wanna stay with me so badly?" He asks, his mood did a complete 180 and he's now calm and more collected than he was moments earlier.

"I can't go home like this... I was gonna stay at Liv's tonight. And... I just wanted... I don't know." I don't know what I want. I want Bennett, but he always makes me so mad but at the same time, I can't get the damned man out of my mind. Is this sexual frustration? A crush? 

"Fine. But don't try anything." And just like that, he's acting like his normal, commanding self.

"You and I both know you want me to." I tell him with a smirk, trying to lighten the mood.

He tries to hide the smirk growing on his face but I know it's there, "Not tonight. Not when you're intoxicated." He says, more seriously now.

I sigh, and decide not to argue because I know he's right. It's when he says things like this that make me enjoy his company. The nice, caring, polite Mr. Bennett. Not the bossy, strict, asshole Bennett. Why can't he be like this all the time? Why must he have so many different sides to him? And which side is the real him? 

"Thank you." I say sincerely, breaking the everlasting silence throughout the car.

He smiles, a genuine smile that he doesn't try to hide. 


I'm sorry this is short, but it's an update, right?? Hopefully in the next couple weeks I'll start posting again. I'm getting help for my depression and my sister will be around to push me to write the next chapter. I've had a lack of motivation for everything and I hate it, but I'm currently working on it. Hope you like it :)
