He ended the call and changed directions.

Me: whoa where are you taking me?

Him: to the hospital

Me: can you at least drop me off first?

Him: do you know who that was? That was my sister. Our mother had an operation today which was a matter of life or death. And as you heard my sister crying on the other side of the line, she's gone

I kept quiet. He was driving so fast I was holding onto my sit even. We got to the hospital and he parked and rushed inside living me sitting there. So what now Lala? You left with a stranger and you far from home or Ari's home. how are you even going to get home now? –At that moment I wished I could slap my sub because it was asking me questions I couldn't answer. The car wasn't locked and if I took my things and left then chances are thieves might steal his things. Ok what now? his wallet was sitting on the cup holder between the seats, I took it and opened it looking for his id. His name was Tobias Evans and he was 26, funny cause he didn't look it. I took out my phone and it was off, battery had died. I looked for a cable and all I could find was an iPhone cable, the latest one and here I was with an iPhone 4 so I was doomed. After a good 2 hours he finally walked out with a beautiful skinny woman with midnight blue hair, it was navy-ish and it suited her. they shared a hug and he came to his car and he started the engine.

Him: so where am I dropping you off?

Me: my friend's place on 5th avenue

Him: that's where we come from

Me: yep

Him: why your friend's place and not your home?

Me: got kicked out of home

Him: what did you do?

Me: what's with the 21 questions?

Him: uhhm maybe because I know that a normal parent wouldn't just harbour another woman's child without asking such questions

Me: well you not my parent or my friend's parents

Him: I see why you were kicked out.

Me: excuse me?

Him: we'll start at my place, I need to change and don't worry. It's around here

I didn't even have the strength to argue. We parked in front of the biggest house I had ever seen. It was the type you only saw on magazines or something. We walked out and went inside and the inside was even more beautiful. I sat in the kitchen on the counter chairs. After a while he came back wearing a sweater and sweatpants and carrying clothes in his hands.

Him: I don't know if these will fit but you need to change before you catch a cold. There's a bathroom down the hall on your left

I look at the clothes.

Me: whose are they?

Him: they belong to my late sister

My uniform was partially wet and pride wasn't going to work here so I took the clothes and went to change. It was a tracksuit, navy, velvet with a pair of an all-white airmax. Everything suited me perfectly. I walked out and he was on the phone. He said his goodbyes after noticing me.

Him: I knew these would fit

Me: I'm sorry about your mother

Him: she's in a much better place.

I nodded.

Him: I never got your name

Me: you never asked for it
