Alone But Packed

Chapter 30

*Marie's POV*

I opened my eyes and stretched my arms and legs, as far as I could anyway. I looked out the window and saw a bunch of trees flying by.

"You alright?"

I glanced up and saw Ty looking down at me concerned. I furrowed my eyebrows wondering what he was referring to. Then realisation hit me when I remembered what I saw. My face fell and I could feel tears come to my eyes. I shrugged, not wanting to start crying again. Ty gave me a sad smile and kissed the side of my head.

Don't cry....it'll be alright. He said in my head.

I know, it just hurts right now. I want it to go away, but it won't. I don't know why it's affecting me so much, I don't want to cry. I sighed.

I know, it'll take some time for it to go away, but don't worry I promise it'll get better. It's alright to cry you know.

I know it is, I just......don't like it.....I don't cry very often. Only girls cry all the time. I scrunched up my face and he chuckled.

Well, you know, you are a girl. And even the strong ones like you cry when their hurt. It helps.........I guess......I normally just play basketball when I'm upset. He said confused.

Yeah, I know that's how you broke your basketball hoop. I laughed aloud.

I knew I could get you to laugh......but I was still serious. He smiled at me.

"Mar, you okay?" Kyle asked, glancing at me through the rear view mirror.

"Fine." I chuckled. I saw Dan looking at me from the corner of my eye. I turned to face him. He smiled weakly at me. I stared at him blankly. I saw the image of him and Amber flash through my mind. I felt the tears come again, so I looked away and back at Ty. He noticed my face and gave me a hug. I rested my head on his shoulder and took deep breaths.......I really didn't want to cry again.

I sat like that for a few minutes until I knew I could trust myself. I pulled away from Ty and looked him in the eye.

You alright? He asked.

Yeah. But keep talking to me, and the rest of you. I said through my mind to Ty and the others.....except for Dan.

What do you want us to talk about? Cam asked.

How about we talk about.......hmmmm. Kyle thought.

I know. How about we talk about stopping to see Aaron on the way back. Would you like that Marie? Lizzy asked then smiled at me.

What?!?! No! Marie isn't allowed to talk to guys anymore until she's 30. Kyle jumped in.

So.....I can't talk to you anymore? I smirked.

You know what I meant. He shot me a look. I laughed.

Common Kyle.......Aaron's not a bad guy.......he just tied me up. I said and scrunched my face up at the last part.

Exactly!!!! Ty cut in.

Guys, it would be cool to see him again anyway. Lizzy argued.

Kyle. I whined.

"No!" Kyle, Cam, and Ty, exclaimed aloud.

"No what?" Dan asked looking at the three of them.

"Doesn't matter." Cam muttered.

Please Kyle........I'll give you the look. I warned him, and the others laughed.
