True Love Isn't Real

Chapter Thirteen

The doctor came back telling me that I was all clear to go so I gladly skipped down the hallway to the elevator with Grayson and Crystal following while shaking their heads in amusement. I pressed the button to get to the main floor and hummed while we went down.

"And you told me to take a chill pill?" Crystal said when I started tapping my thighs to whatever song I was humming.

"Yup." I said popping the "p".

"You are one strange child." She answered shaking her head while Grayson laughed.

"What are you laughing about buddy?" I asked smirking.

"Nothin'."

"Sureeeeeeeee." I answered and hopped out of the elevator with my duffle bag on my arm to the front desk.

"I see someone is in a good mood." The nurse said laughing at my chipper mood.

"Yup, I'm already to leave." I stated happily.

"Alright, you mom left you your car key's incase you were let out before she got here."

"Thank you." I said skipping to the doors once I got my keys from the nurse while my friends trailed behind me.

Is that what I should call Grayson? A friend?

More?

Shaking the silly thoughts out of my head I jumped into the drivers seat with Grayson and Crystal fighting over who got to sit in the passengers.

"If you two don't knock it off then I'll just leave." I said after I honked my horn scaring them.

"But I want to sit in the front." Grayson complained.

"Well I should sit in the front since she's my best friend." Crystal countered starting the whole thing up again.

Rolling my eyes I put my Truck in drive and started to drive until they noticed so I put it back in park.

"Both of you, in the back seat." I growled as they looked at me with wide eyes.

Nodding their heads, they jumped in the back seat and I didn't give them time to buckle up before I started to drive to my house.

"How do you know how to get back to your house from the hospital?" Grayson asked.

I looked through the rear view mirror with wide eyes toward Crystal seeing that she had the same expression.

"I showed her around town when she first moved here." She responded quickly while I casted my eyes back to the road pulling up to a red light.

"Mhmmm." Grayson responded, not really believing her.

"Do I need to take you guys home?" I asked, but was really asking Grayson since Crystal went home last night.

"I just need more clothes."

"Do you plan on staying the night at a friends house or something?"

"Or something." He responded.

"What is this 'Or something' then?" I asked while I glanced up at him through the mirror.

"I was planning on staying at your house."

"Excuse me?" I asked.

"Yes?"

"Why do you plan on staying at my house?" I growled.

"Someone has to protect you." He told me smirking.

"I can take care of myself." I said through gritted teeth.

"Says the one who got herself kidnapped."
