Staying Strong

Thirty

"You want me to stay with you?" I gulped watching him drive in the middle of the night.

"Yeah, I mean if you want." Kyle shrugged turned quickly to smile at me.

"What about Steven?" I looked at the backseat and Steven was fast asleep.

"Steven can stay at your place I'm sure your mom wouldn't mind."

I shook my head understanding, "Well okay I'll stay with you."

Kyle smiled joyfully turning into the streets.

I moved my seatbelt to the side gently shaking Steven.

Steven jerked up looking everywhere, "Where the hell am I?"

"In Kyle's car doofus, you're staying at my place."

Steven rubbed his head, "Ah shit I have a headache."

Grabbing my bag I pulled out a few pills and my water bottle, "Here take these."

Steven smiled at me, "Thanks baby."

I rolled my eyes "Yeah, yeah."

Kyle parked on the side curb, "I'll wait here."

"Okay." I nodded and bit my lip before getting out of the car to help Steven out.

"Those pills helped." Steven said sleepily as I put his arm over my shoulder to help him walk.

"Thanks for helping me." Steven said as we got to my front door.

"That's what I'm here for." I smiled as I creaked the door open, "Try not to make so much noise."

Steven nodded before pushing him onto the couch, "Fuck, Lena had to sleep over."

"Who's Lena?" Steven hung himself onto me.

"My friend. The one that beat up Bella."

"The hot one?" Steven laughed.

"Stop it! You're with Lexi."

"She broke up with me." Steven cupped my face. What the fuck??

"That's why I went to my bar." Steven looked into my eyes. Okay this is getting weird as fuck.

"Sorry." I said taking his hands of my face.

"Guys what's going on?" Lena rubbed her eyes sitting up on the couch.

"Lena you're up!" I said giving her a hug.

"DONT HURT ME." She cringed noticing I was just giving her a hug.

"Take care of Steven." I commanded before grabbing my things and going out the door.

"You ready?" Kyle asked.

I nodded and he turned on the engine.

Why am I so nervous? I mean ARGH.

Just calm down Diana, okay? And stop making faces to yourself Kyle's gonna notice! Shit!

"Are you okay?" Kyle chuckled and smiled.

"Why wouldn't I be?" I said nervously.
