Wheel (An Emblem Three Story)

Chapter 3

10 minutes of driving and we didn't talk. Only if  he ask for the direction. It's kinda awkward. I wanted to talk first but I don't know what I'm going to say. Oh, sometimes I wish I wasn't me.

"You don't have to hold your breath. You know that don't you?" He chuckled. He realize that I'm holding my breath. Yes, I know, what a weird habit is that. I sigh making him smile. "That's better." He said.

"Take turn on the left and sixth house on the right." I said giving him the direction and he carefully turn to the left. We stop exactly in front of my house. His jaw drop after he see my house. Well, my house it's kinda a little too big, I guess.

"Wow... Is that really your house?" He said still amazed and I nod even though he still looking at my house.

"Do you want to come in?" I murmured.

"I would love to." He smile and turn off the engine. He unlock the door and I step out of the car.

I step in front of the camera and the small screen. "Who is that with you Miss?" Jake's voice came out.

"It's my..... friend." I said hesitate at first whether to call Keaton as my friend or not.

"Well, I have to ask Mr. Sylvesky first." Welcome to my life once again. This is totally not normal at all. I can see Keaton's feeling a bit nervous but then he approach the small screen too and press the button. Oh no!

"I'm sorry who ever are you the man who's sitting behind the desk and eating a doughnut. I don't mean to hurt Lizzie, I only want to be friends with her." He pat my shoulder to calm me down. How does he know that I'm panicking?

"Elizabeth Eyre Sylvesky who did you bring to our house? And why? did he just called you Lizzie?" And yup, there it is, my dad's voice. This why I'm afraid to have friends.

"Excuse me Mr. Sylvesky, let me introduce myself. I'm Keaton Stromberg, Elizabeth's new friend. I'm sorry if I called your daughter Lizzie. It's just shorter and easier." He talked to the screen before I could.

"Elizabeth why are you home late? Is it because of this guy?" He said ignoring Keaton's introduction. That's rude. "I'm sorry Mr. Stromberg but I'll have to ask you to leave."

"Dad, he brought me home..." I defend Keaton.

"That is exactly why I ask him to leave. Get in the house right now. And Mr. Stromberg, don't make me to ask twice or I'll have my bodyguard to banish you off of my gate."

"I am not gonna leave this house." He said again through the speaker.

"As you wish then." My dad's voice is so calm but also angry at the same time, you can't even tell what he's feeling right now. Seconds later the gate is open and two of my dad's bodyguard show up. One of them pull me with a full force so I'm inside my house and the other one is pushing Keaton while he fights back. I look back and mouthed 'sorry' to him. The gate is slowly close until I can't see him again. The last thing I saw was he stopped fighting back and stomp his feet away. He's angry. He's definitely mad  at me. I can feel my eyes starting to moist.
