Jesse forced his eyes shut in contempt, then looked me dead in the eye. "Please," he begged me.
I turned on the ignition without making a sound and looked straight ahead, dismissing Jesse's intense gaze, which was hovering on my profile.
What the hell was this all about? Did it have anything to do with what happened back at the recital? Was this the reason why he'd been acting so shady up until now?
But most importantly, does this relate to why he lied straight to my face that very night?
I tried not to let the urge and hecticness of my thoughts distract me as Jesse gave me directions to get to his house and kept my eyes glued to the road. Everything was becoming a little to confusing for me right then and there.
The car ride was silent, if you ignored Jesse's anxious taps on his lap or on the window frame. We were there within five to ten minutes, he lived in Lower South Providence - a rough neighbourhood by Providence River. I examined the streets of that place as I drove, perfectly aware of Jesse's self-conscious glances to my right.
The houses were close to each other, every one of them was this light blue colour - almost white. They had a single story and a traditional, grey-coloured roof.
"Stop the car," he demanded, frantically unfastening his seatbelt.
I barely had any time to pull over before he had jumped out of the car and headed towards one of those little homes, practically at full speed.
Should I stay in the car, or - ?
I mean, it would be kind of rude to intrude but this looked like a serious matter, so perhaps the right thing to do was provide moral support.
Or you're just worried about Jesse and want to go check on him...
"Shut up," I whispered to myself.
This was not the time for internal dilemmas.
Apparently, today my body had woken up with the sole mission to act purely out of impulses and without my brain's consent and, before I could even try to make sense of what I was doing, I was locking the car up and following Jesse into his house.
"Damn it," I cursed on my way there.
I didn't like the way I was losing control over my thoughts and actions, I knew I needed to start rebuilding my walls up before I ended up doing something I would regret.
When I finally found the strength to go inside, Jesse had just succeeded calming his mother down and she inevitably noticed my presence, her eyes meeting mine.
"H-hi," she said.
Jess turned around, he was a little startled by me being there instead of in the car. "Mom, this is my friend Jade."
