I didn’t know where we were driving; we just kept going and going for hours. We were even on some motorway at one point.

After about three hours of driving I eventually drifted off in a sleep.

I was then woken by someone gently shaking me. I was still too tired to wake up and I just wanted my dad to let me sleep a little longer.

“Hope, Sweetheart” I heard a soft voice whisper. I don’t remember my dad having that soft a voice, this voice was also manlier, I really liked it. I snuggled closer to where the voice was coming from. 

“Sweetheart you need to wake up we’re here” The voice whispered again.

“Ughh”  I grumbled, “Just let me sleep dad” I sighed. I heard a gruff chuckle from beside me. I peeked one of my eyes open to see where the noise had come from. I was surprised to Tom beside me with a grin on his face and I was confused for a moment until the events from before came rushing back to me. I remembered fighting with Tom and then falling asleep in the car.

I opened both of my eyes and glared at him with the hardest stare I could give. The smile was wiped off his face almost immediately and the chuckling had come to an abrupt stop. The tension had just gone up by 100%. That’s right I was just going to forgive and forget that easily.  Tom gave me some questioning looks and he probably wandered why I was still holding a grudge. It really hurt me though, the fact that I was looking out for him and trying to save my best friend and he had the audacity to scream in my face. I’m a stubborn person and if he thinks for one minute that I’m going to talk to him again without an apology then he needs to think again.

Now he was shaking me again, but not because I had fallen asleep but because I had been so busy ranting in my head that I had zoned out and wouldn’t get out of the car door that he had opened for me.

“Don’t touch me” I said coldly whilst shrugging his hand off of my shoulder. I instantly regretted saying it after I saw the hurt look on his face. My eyes softened slightly, I didn’t need to be such a bitch to him, that just wasn’t me.

“Tom” I whispered apologetically.

“Just forget it Hope, we’ve got to go anyway” Tom replied just as coldly as I had talked to him. Ouch I have to say that hurt me. I guess I brought it upon myself though. Closing my eyes I took a deep breath and counted to five trying to stop the tears from coming.

‘Just stop being a baby Hope’ I told myself. ‘It’s not worth him seeing you weak’ ‘We don’t need his pity, remember he’s the one that shouted at you, he’s the one that disrespected you and he’s the one that can get over himself to apologize to you’

I gave myself a good speech and walked away from Tom without another word.

I finally decided to take in my surroundings, forgetting that I didn’t actually know where we were. When I saw what was in front of me I had to try very hard to stop myself from gasping. Now I felt even worse for being so mean to Tom.
