"Thanks for walking me home." I smiled at Dean.
"No problem. It was nice."
"But you're going to have to walk a long way to go home. If I could drive, I would offer you a lift home." I said.
"I-" He started but stopped. "It doesn't matter, I can always walk-- home." He said unsurely,
"Do you know where it is?" I joked.
His face paled and the smile on my face immediately disappeared.
"Are you okay?" I asked stupidly. I touched his shoulder in concern.
Then I saw the hard no emotion face he had before he confessed his feelings to me.
"I'm fine. Just leave it." He snapped.
I flinched my hand away from him and went into my house.
"I'm sorry." I heard him quietly say before I shut the door.
What was up with him?
"Welcome home." My dad greeted me.
"Thanks?" I opened the fridge searching for more food. "You're home early today"
"Are you disappointed?" My dad faked hurt.
"No, I'm just surprised." I said after settling for a bucket of ice cream.
"I'm going out tonight." He said staring intently at me.
"To work?" I asked with my mouth full of ice cream
"Um- no."
"No?" I raised an eyebrow.
"I'm going out... with a girl?" He told me as if asking me.
"Oh, so like a date?" I said clearly surprised.
"Yeah. if that's okay, if you want me home it's okay I can cancel it but-"
"It's okay, go have fun." I smiled at him.
"Thanks. I have to get ready now." He said letting out a breath.
I went online to search the lyrics for the song Mr M told me to practice.
I sang silently in my head and the song was definitely a tear jerker.
I finished off the last of the ice cream and went downstairs to see my dad about to leave the door.
"Good luck." I called out.
"I'm going to need it." He said coming over to me to give a hug.
"You look great, I'm sure she'll appreciate it." I hugged back.
"Thanks. See you later."

"Hey baby sis." James said through the phone.
"Hi." I sighed.
"What's up?"
"The sky." I replied snorting slightly.
"You know what I mean." He said impatiently
"It could be worse and it could be better."
"Tell your big brother all about it."
"I-- listen. There's a boy-"
"Of course there is. Isn't there always?"
"Shut up." then I told him about what Dean had confessed to me and about how confuse I was. Then I told him about Dean's bipolar attitude towards me.
