(A/N you should listen to willow by Jasmine Thompson. I really like this song. Plus I was reading this while I was writing this.
I don't want to. I barely know him.. Yes I basically told him my life story and he explained his but I can't just sleep over his house. I think that's a kind gesture but I mean I can't. My dad would literally have me by my throat.
When I say he will I am not kidding. My dad is an abusive drunk who doesn't give a damn about me so yes he would literally have me by my throat.
"No that's ok. Thanks anyways.." I smiled fumbling with my fingers.
"Are you sure? I mean I just want you to be safe ya know. I know what it's like to be tossed around with nobody there to help. I just want to help you like you helped me." He explained
I want to but I don't want to. I'm honestly scared to. He says he wants me to be safe but he wants me to just no return home and have my dad trying to find me and when he finds me he's gonna kill me.
I'm not doing it.
"Thanks Matthew but I'm good. I should probably get going now.. It's getting late."
He looked at the clock on dashboard of the car then back at me. He gave me a funny look then sighed.
"It's only 5 .. but if you have to go I can drive you?" He asked
"I can walk thank you it's not that far."
I got out of the car then started walking. I don't know what I was thinking. It's freezing cold outside and I decided to walk. Only a dumbass would walk. So I am clearly that dumbass that chose to walk.
I was shivering like crazy but i was almost home. I began to run since it was so dark outside but I realized that probably wasn't the smart thing to do because I tripped.
"You okay?" I heard someone ask.
I looked behind me but no one was there. I looked to the side and saw a car start to stop. I quickly got up not knowing if they were going to kidnap me.
"Do you need a ride? It's freezing cold ya know?" The deep voice yelled over his car engine.
"Who are you?" I asked him
He got out of his car then walked over to me. I had this weird feeling about him. What random guy stops in the dark to help someone?.. Unless he's trying to kidnap me.
"My name is Nash.. Are you okay?" He asked again
"I'm fine.. Thanks for asking. Why are just randomly helping me?" I asked kind of concerned
"Well you did just fall on your ass.. I was being nice.."
"Maybe I don't want your help. I am fine. I am a big girl I can handle myself. Thanks for asking. Now if you don't mind I have to go home." I stated walking away from him
I stopped in my tracks and laughed. This is like déjà vu. This happened with Matt and I. He don't want my help and gave me an attitude because I helped him.
I quickly turned back around to apologize to the guy. He was still standing there just looking at me.
"I'm sorry.. That was rude... My name is Loren. Sorry, I just really have to go home." I apologized
He nodded his head and gave me a half smile. I sorta smiled back and nodded my head awkwardly. I turned back around and started walking back.
"Wait!" He called
Of course he waits until I leave again.
"Yeah?" I ask turning around again
"Let me give you a ride.. Can I at least do that?" He asked
"no?"
"please? I know I don't know you but it feels like it's at least -6 degrees out here. let me give you a ride."
I guess it's freaking cold out here. I nodded then walked to his car. I sat down and just looked forward kind of awkwardly.
I have no idea who this guy is and I'm just hitching a ride with him. I mean the guy seems harmless I doubt he would try to hurt me. But I don't know it's always the nice ones that screw you over.
"So Loren tell me about yourself.."
I'm just going to lie.
"I'm 16.. I live with my two loving parents.. I have an older brother and I have a dog." I fake smiled
He became quiet for a little bit then looked at me shaking his head.
"You know.. I can tell you're bullshitting right?" He laughed
It was that obvious?
I ignored his statement and he started the car. The whole ride he mainly talked about his life and where he works and what school he went to. To be completely honest it was going in one ear and out the other. I wasn't trying to be rude but I just met him and he was trying to get personal with his business.
*•*•*•*•*•*•*•
I finally arrived at my house 15 minutes later. I would've been walking forever outside if it took 15 minutes by a car..
I thanked Nash and Unbuckled my seatbelt. He grabbed my wrist as I was getting out of the car.
"Before you go here's my number.. I told you about myself now it's your turn. I expect a text back from you." He said with a smile
I let him write his number on my arm and he let go of me. I got out of the car then looked back at him.
"No promises." I smiled closing the door.
He drove off and my dad was standing at the door and my heart dropped. He saw didn't he..
"Get your ass in this house right now!" He yelled
Here we go.
