WESLEY'S POV

We eventually left the hospital and I was driving Andrea home. The car ride was silent and all I could do was put on the radio because I didn't think Andrea is in the mood for conversation after this morning.

I would occasionally look at her and I would just see her gazing out the window,leaning against her cheek.

I focused again on the road but kept on hearing her sniff once in a while. I knew she was crying. When I looked at her she looked like she was hiding her tears but I knew she was crying. There wasn't much I could say to her so grabbed the closest hand to me and began to rub it with my thumb. At fist I thought she was going to snatch her hand away but surprisingly she ended up grabbing my hand back.

I know only couples hold hands but thats the only way I could confort her while still being able to drive. I'm sure Stepahnie wouldn't mind.

We started to drive past a super market and she retaliated. "Uhm Wes do you mind if I can grab some things at the super market for a second?" She said , wiping her eyes.

"Yeah sure, no problem" I said, driving into the parking lot and grabbing an open space.

"Do you need anything? She asked me.

"Nah I'm all good" I said, turning off the engine.

"Okay be back in a second "

I remained in the car, while she shopped. The whole time that I waited I was thinking about Stephanie and how hard the next couple of months are going to be.

After a while Andrea returned with shopping bags in each hand. I got out the car to give her a hand and helped her into the car. I then reversed,and started to drive in the direction of Andrea's house.

Once we arrived, I helped Andrea with her bags and placed them on the kitchen counter.

"Okay , well I'm off. I guess I will see you tomorrow morning when I pick you up to fetch Steph and the hospital." I said,still holding my car keys in my hand.

"You don't have to go" She said quickly, rubbing her arms.

"Nah I should, I don't want you to get sick off seeing my face" I said with a slight chuckle.

"I couldn't " she said with a soft smile.

"Are you sure, I can go...I mean its been a long day and I'm sure you want to be by yourself ". I said,rubbing my neck.

"No one wants to be by themselves" She said, looking down at her hands.

"Okay then , I'll stay around" I said, as I got close to her.

She looked up at me, her eyes still red from crying.

"Obviously you can't help but be around me...its a gift I was born with" I said with a smile as I held up my arms.

"Oh please" She said, as she shoved passed me. She then smiled as she walked behind the kitchen counter.

I made her smile...score!

Andrea then began to dig in the utensil drawer and grabbed to large spoons.

" Are you hungry for a snack?" She asked, closing the drawer.

Come to think of it I actually was, being in a depressing atmosphere always makes me hungry.

"Yeah, I am actually' I said, leaning against the kitchen counter.

"Good" She said, grabbing two Nutella jars.

I couldn't stop smiling wondering where she is going with this?
