( A Matthew Healy Pov )

She hugged me.

I stood there frozen as she did so. And I felt her sigh. I was about to return the act but she unclasped her arms around me and gave me a smile.

"thanks"

she said as she brushed her hair off and looked away. I could see her face was red even in the night. The light from the buildings around us was enough to illuminate her features. I smiled. She was so different.

I dug for my phone to look at the time "Lilian might be looking for us.. or you, should I say" I told her. She turned to face me, the blush staining her cheeks still evident, "right, its late.. and you might have something to do tomorrow." she said. I nodded, I was actually meeting up with Gemma tomorrow.

We headed down, I assisted her to the car and opened her door. The ride was quiet as usual but this time the silence was choking and awkward. Was it because she hugged me? Was she too shy to talk because of that? I glanced at her every now and then but her stare was fixated in the road.

"um" I started and she stirred "yea?" she said and I glanced at her "you okay?" I asked and she sighed "yea, just tired maybe. today had been a weird day.." she told me. "and I dont know what to do with my stepmother.." she adds. I nodded "dont worry yourself too much." I said and she propped her head on the window.

We arrived infront of the building where their flat is and I parked outside. She removed her seatbelt and turned to smile at me "thank you, for tonight" she said and I gave her a smile in return "no problem.. it was a pleasure driving you around the city" I said. "but sorry.." she told me and I raised a brow "for?"

She shook her head "I dont know.. for putting you in trouble with my stepmom." she sighs and I chuckle at her "silly, that's nothing serious. Go ahead, I'll see you later." I said and she smiled again before opening the door and waves me a good bye as she headed inside. I watched the door close and I started the engine  but I did not leave.

My mind is a mess. Im confused. I keep replaying what George told me about her. About my feelings and all this. Why? Why did I even run after her and get involved with her problems when I have my own. Why did I bring her tonight, and why am I feeling this way?

Maybe I do like her..

Maybe
