ONLY A HEARTBEAT AWAY •JK•

Chap:14

I was startled by his words. He looked at me smiling like an idiot. "I need to get home or my mom is gonna freak." I said putting my phone into my purse. "I'll take you home," he offered but I declined. "No thanks I can walk." I say. "Yeah walk at 6:30 am, when you house is a half hour away, I don't think so." He said getting out of bed.

I was really shocked at his behavior. I quickly followed behind him. I saw him grabbing his keys and walking out the door. "Come on snail hurry up." He said. I rolled my eyes at him. "I'm coming I'm coming." I hopped into his car and buckled my seatbelt. We were driving in silence until he spoke. "Listen.....about last night.......anything I said that was dumb?" He asked looking at me. "Nope not really." I said leaving out the parts when he told me to not leave him.

He nodded and went back to driving. "You shouldn't drink so much, it's unhealthy." I said looking out the window. "I'll be fine...no reason in being healthy." He said mumbling the last part. "What do you mean....you should be thankful you're healthy." I said looking at him. "Why do you care?" He said scoffing. What's with his sudden change in mood. Is he ok? "I'm just telling you something for your own good geeze." I said and he looked at me with guilt flushed eyes. "Sorry, it just my parents they honestly don't care about me, or what I want, alway what they want for me." He said looking out the window. "Well I'm sure there's a good reason I responded as we looked back at each other for a few minutes. Soon we arrived at my house. "Thanks for the ride." I said awkwardly as I opened the door.

I went inside and I finished up some homework. After an hour I was chilling when I got a text from Micha. "Meet us at the mall ASAP"
