Your staying at my house Part 1

Hope didn't even think about the kiss and not because it didn't feel good or anything like that. She's terrified about going home and confronting her parents after what happened this morning. She wasn't ready to face them yet, but she had nowhere else to go, and then it hit her. What if she stayed at Lizzie's house? Then reality and her pride set in she can't go and ask to sleep at her home after all those conditions she set.

The last bell rang, and Hope's heart started to race as she walked out of the class to Lizzie's car. She was so in her thoughts; she couldn't hear anything or anyone around her. Next thing you know, she gets pulled back, and a car speeds away from where she was standing. She turned around to see Lizzie is the one who did it.

"Hope what's going you were so in your head you almost got hit by a car." Lizzie asked

Hope Scoffed under her breath, "it would be better than going home."

The girl spoke so low she didn't think anyone could hear her, but she was wrong. When the two got into the car and started driving, Hope noticed it wasn't the route to her house. She said, "you know my house is that way."

Lizzie looked at the girl and said, "yea, I know, but you're staying at my house. No one is there except us, Josie and Penelope."

"where are your mom and dad."

Lizzie felt a tear form in her eye and tried to speak but couldn't say anything.

"it's okay. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I get it. I am not your friend anymore." Hope said, not realizing that it hurt her saying it.

The taller girl cleared her throat and, in a low tone, said: "my mom died over the summer." Tears started flowing from her face as she continued. "then my dad left Josie and me a few months after because we remind him of our mother too much. But if we are honest, he is a drunk who doesn't want to take care of his family."

Hope thought she was the only one going through a hard time while her best friend lost her mother and father away. She wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. So she let her actions speak words for her. She grabbed the taller girl's hand and drew circles on it. Whenever one of the girls would be feeling down, they would draw circles on the other hand. with their fingers, and it always calmed them down.

The car stopped in front of a large house, and Hope almost forgot how rich Lizzie's family was. The blonde said, "text your mom that you're staying over tonight. I know that you might be mad, but don't make her worry."

The shorter girl nodded and texted her mom saying, "I am okay I am going to stay at Lizzie's tonight. I am not ready to go home yet." And clicked her phone off

The taller girl said, "ready."

Hope nodded and got out of the car. Without realizing it, the two had their hands entwined as they walked into the house. They hear footsteps coming from the living room. It was Josie and Penelope coming to the door to ask Lizzie about that kiss, but they couldn't see Hope with her.

The two are surprised to see them hand in hand. But didn't say anything. Giving a weird stare until they noticed they were holding hands. And immediately pulled away even it felt good.

"Hope is staying with us for a little while. Is that okay." Lizzie asked

Both girls nodded as Josie took Lizzie so that they can talk in private, and Penelope took Hope.
