After 20 minutes of running after Aaden I stopped and starting walking back to my car. I sat in the front seat for a while, I turned on my car and started driving, the radio was on and 'location by Khalid' came on so I started singing.

"Send me your location and
Focus on communication
Cause I just need a time and place to come through
Send me your location and
L-" I was interrupted by a scream inside my car, I pulled over turned around and checked the back seat.

"Hey there Aiono" Aaden said when I looked at her. She jumped into the front seat.

"Aaden what the fuck" I said.

"Your singing is amazing by the way" She smiled. I felt my cheeks get hot and I turned away.

"Thanks, but why the hell are you in my car"

"Aiono remember that time where you followed me, when I wanted to be left alone. Cause I do" she smiled at me. I rolled my eyes at her.

"Why do you call me Aiono?"

"Cause Alex doesn't sound good to me"

"My real name isn't Alex"

"Really?, what is it then?"

"If I tell you then you gotta tell me something about you that no one knows" she sighed but agreed.

"My real name is Martin Alexander Aiono" she opened her mouth wide.

"Can I call you Martin?" She asked.

"Fuck that" I said. "What's your secret?"

"I don't really have any, I legit don't have anything embarrassing things"

"Lies" I said.

"I'm being so serious" she gave me a serious face.

"Just think"

"Umm, I got one"

"What?"

"When I was younger my parents would call me Monk cause I'd love to climb up things" she said crossing her legs.

"Aw Monk"

"I'll kill you"

"Come at me then" I smiled.

"Martin" she smirked.

"Monk"

"Do your parents still call you that?" I asked.

"Nope, my mom only calls me names like 'little disappointment' and my dad calls me 'A' "

"Oh I'm sorry"

"Its okay. My mom thinks I'm in Washington state"

"Why?"

"She sent me up there to live with my sister who I've never meet before and I just heard of her the day before I was supposed to leave"

"Ohh, I'm glad you didn't leave Monk" I smiled.

"Me too Martin" she smiled back.

"Want me to take you home?" I asked.

"Uh yeah" she checked her phone and had a couple text messages. She mumbled something to herself.

"Huh?" I looked at her.

"I was talking to myself, sorry"

"Its okay"

"Where's your drawing notebook?" She reached in the back and grabbed a book bag reached inside and pulled it out.

"Are you gonna redraw them?" I asked.

"No, I'm thinking of giving up drawing" I pulled over and looked at her.

"You should never stop what your best talent is ever, you got that?, you continue drawing and never stop"

"Only if you agree on something" she looked me in the eyes.

"What?"

"Sing more"

"Agreed" I shook her hand and we went to her house.

"My dad's not home?" She asked herself.

"Thanks for the ride Martin" she smiled getting out.

"Welcome Monk" I smiled back. I waited tell she got inside the house and drove away.
