Chapter 15

“What do you mean?”, He said with a rude look on his face. I turned toward him on the bench. 

        “I mean, you’ve been acting really weird lately, you never talk to me anymore, we haven’t hung out in a week. I don’t wanna sound annoying, but it has been bothering me a lot.” I said, pouring out my feelings. I could feel the tears coming, but I didn’t cry just yet. 

“I am so sorry, I have been having a really bad week. I don’t want to talk about it here though. I will come over when we leave, and explain everything.” It took him awhile to get that out, stuttering with some words. I was still mad, and now I couldn’t stop thinking about what he had to tell me. I hated boys.

We left around 1am, exactly when the park closed. The car ride wasn’t very live, everyone was tired and Nick and I had some tension still. We were almost to my house and Nick said, “I am gonna get dropped off at her house too, thanks for driving Dylan.” 

“No problem bro, have a fun night!” Dylan said with a wink. Nicole was sleeping in the front seat, and Allie half asleep on her phone. Nick and I got out of the car and waved good-bye. 

We went around the back of my house, I saw the hammock out by the grass still out. I thought maybe we could just lay there and talk for awhile, and my stomach was flipping. “Let’s go lay on the hammock and talk”, I said walking over to it. 

We laid on the hammock and he just blurted out, “My grandma died...” He locked his hand with mine and we sat in silence for it felt like a half-hour. We looked at the stars and I could hear him sniffle from crying.

“We are going to get through this, It will be okay, you will be okay.” I said still looking at the stars, “We will get through this”. He put his head on mine, kissed my cheek and closed his eyes. 

"I love you" He said.
