Blaising Fires

Chapter 11

I drove to the other side of town, it was blurry but I drove there. My tears burned my face, like they were fire. I don't even know why I'm crying, I was having the time of my life. But all of a sudden things started crumbling down. I walked inside the convenience store, I bought tissues and a pickle. The clerk looked at me, his name was Justin. "Hey, I really hope I'm not intruding but are you okay?" I sighed, "Yeah I'm fine, nothing to worry about. Especially not a stranger." The change was in his hand, if he gave it to me I could leave, and never talk to him again. "Dude, don't lie. Has someone ever told you your eyes tell all?" "Yes someone has, now can I please have my change?" He sighed. "Here, be careful okay? I don't want to see you buying razors anytime soon." He handed me the change and I left. I drove home, while eating a pickle. Weird combo I know. When I got home Blaise was sitting at the table worried sick. He jumped when I opened the door, "Oh my gosh, where were you? You said you were getting a pickle, at 12 in the afternoon, it's 5 now." He walked up to me and gave me a hug. I pushed him away "I did." I held up the wrapper. "What is wrong with you? You've pushed me away twice, Today." He put emphasis on the today. "I know, everything is okay. Where's my mom?" He put his hands in his pockets, "She left to go find you, she was worried." He grabbed his phone. "I'm gonna call her, after I'm leaving. You can talk to me when you want to." He stepped by me and opened the door. ~~~
