City Lights

Chapter 6

(Adam's POV)

She sat there like nothing happened. What was going on? I drove for a while just looking at the road until I couldnt take it any more. "Alex...what's wrong?" She didnt answer. "Please" I begged looking at her. She was still looking out of the window. I took one hand off of the wheel and put in ontop of hers. That got her. She looked at me and I could tell she wanted to cry. "Its nothing. Im just a little sick thats all" she said in a shaky voice. I knew that wasnt true but she looked like she didnt want to talk about it so I just kept driving silently. 

We got to Alexis's house and I stopped the car. "I hope you feel better soon" I whispered. She looked at me and smiled weakly. "Thanks" she whispered back before opening the car door. "See you tomorrow?" I asked. "Sure. Pick me up at like eight. We will go eat breakfast or some shit" She called back. I smiled. There she was, Alexis was back. She waved to me before closing her house door behind her. "Ok Adam get it together." I told myself "She will be okay" I whispered. "She will be okay". 

I drove back to my house and turned on the radio. I drowned out my thoughts with the music. The lyrics spoke to me. They told me that I would be okay. That I could make it through this. That I wasnt alone. That she would be okay. They told me that she would tell me. That she was going to make it through this too. I was going to be there for her, I thought. 

I pulled up to my driveway and saw the lights on in my house. My mom was home, Great. I turned the car off and locked it then walked up to my front door. I took a deep breath and opened the door. The first thing I heard was my mom shout at me from the other side f the house."Adam! You get in here now!" I threw my things aside and walked into the kitchen to find my mom sitting at the dinning table. "Where were you?" my mom asked in a soft yet stern tone. I shrugged and answered "Driving Alex home. Why?" She stood up and walked towards me. "Adam...Alex is going through a lot right now. She is a teenage girl, she needs her space...okay sweetie?" I looked away trying to focuse on anything but her eyes. "Why?" I asked "She is being so secretive and I feel like she doesnt trust me anymore." "She trusts you but she will tell you when she is ready okay? I talked to her mom and she is just going through a lot right now okay?" My mom said trying to get me to look at her. "LIKE WHAT? WHAT IS SHE GOING THROUGH?" i shouted. "Do not raise your voice at me Adam Trainer!" She shouted back. "FIRST MY BEST FRIEND IS KEEPING SECRETS AND NOW MY OWN MOTHER?" I screamed before walking upstairs. "ADAM!" I heard my mom shout before I walked into my bedroom and slammed the door behind me. She didnt understand how I felt. I laid down on my bed and buried my face into my pillow while tears ran down my cheek and over my mouth. I tasted salt.  'I cant lose you Alex...I cant loose you..I need you to be okay...I need you' I thought. 'God I love Her...I love her so much...maybe too much' was the last thing I thought before I drifted off to sleep
