It's exactly 12:00am . The image of Leo and i keeps replaying in my head. It's been a couple of days since it happened, and we really haven't talked since. I don't know if I should keep it that way or try talking it out
After watching tv in my room until everything got boring, I decide to go downstairs.
All the lights are off.
I carefully tiptoe on the freezing wood floor , and turn on the Kitchen light . Since the living room is right next to the kitchen, I can sort of see in there .
All of a sudden I see Leo sitting on the couch, with his head buried in his hands .
"Leo?" I whisper.
He slowly looks up . The dark circles under his eyes being clearly visible.
I walk closer to him. Standing directly in front of him .
"What's wrong?" I whisper.
No answer.
After about 3 minutes of awkward silence, Leo finally speaks up .
"I need some air . You wanna come?" He asks me, getting up from his previous spot on the couch.
"Yeah sure, I just need to get some warmer clothes."
I jogged upstairs and throw on a pair of leggings, along with a oversized black hoodie .
When I return downstairs, Leo is waiting by the front door .
He has the keys in his hand.
We both walk outside along the sidewalk and get in the all black car .
I shiver from the freezing cold. When Leo starts up the car,he turns the heater on .
After about driving 5 blocks I decide to speak up .
"Leo, talk to me. What's wrong?" I ask looking over at him .
He lets out a sigh. Looking at me,then returning his eyes to the road .
"I don't know Zoe." He lies .
"You sure?" I ask , bringing my legs to rest on the dashboard.
"Yeah." Leo says , as we pull into a parking lot .
Target .
"What are we doing here?" I ask him.
"I don't even know ." He lets out a small chuckle.
I smile .
"Well don't just sit there, let's go inside." I wiggle my eyebrows causing Leo to laugh .
We get inside and grab a cart .
I immediately run to the candy aisle , Leo following close behind .
I begin to take random things off the shelves, placing them in the cart.
"Candy always cures sadness." I playfully shove Leo .
"I'm not sad."
"You can't fool me Leonardo " I say, using his full name and giving him a smirk .
-
We finish putting the bags in the back seat and get in the car.
"What's that smell?" I ask, scrunching up my nose .
" I don't kn- oh right ." He opens the middle console and pulls out what looks like a brown cigarette.
"What is that?" I ask him curiously.
"It's just a joint my friend forgot to throw out." He tells me.
"Joint?" I raise a eyebrow.
"Weed, Zoe." He shakes his head and laughs .
"Oh. Wait, do you smoke?" I ask him .
"A couple of times in the past."
"Do you smoke Zoe?" He asks me.
"Hell no." I answer truthfully.
I'm surprised Leo has.
We pull into the driveway. Leo grabs most of the bags , while I grab one,taking them up to my room .
He sits in my desk chair , while I sit on the end of my bed.
"You're so gorgeous, Zoe" He says softly, and the heat rises to my cheeks.
I giggle.
"I look like a mess , Leo"
"No you don't , I'm being serious." He speaks , looking at me.
"Well thank you. " I grin.
We continue to watch movies , and eat all the junk food.
