Joey was always good at calming me down in moments where I am overthinking or worrying about something, nobody has ever really made me feel that way in situations like this
On the car ride home we talked quite a bit, I got to know him better and so did he, I guess he's kinda cool
"So", I turn to look at him, "what do you like most about yourself?"
"What I like about myself?", he sounds surprised
"Yeah...", I laugh, don't know why he's so surprised lol
"Well", he smirks, "my caring heart"
I smile, I hate to roll my eyes and blush but that sounded cute
Boys usually toughen up around girls to not seem like they have a spot spot but I can tell Joey is a little different when it comes to that topic
"You have a soft spot for people?", I laugh
Joey looks at me, "What about it?"
Playfully rolling my eyes I grab the aux cord and play some music
Better by Khalid starts playing
The song matches this moment so well
I look at him to see if his eyes are on the road but they're on me, I look away smiling
It gets quiet and I wish the car ride could be longer but we arrive outside of his house, we get down and Joey welcomes me inside
His house is pretty nice, it seems like no one is home though
"Is anyone home?", I look at him
"No, my sister is hanging out with some friends and my parents are busy working so I guess we can just chill here for a while? If that's fine with you?", he bites his lower lip
"For a while?", I raise my eyebrows, I should be heading home...
"I mean I don't really want to be alone; it gets pretty lonely here"
"I mean", I look him in the eyes, I can tell he wants me to say yes
"Sure I guess"
He smiles and walks me to the kitchen, "You hungry?"
"No but thank you for the offer", I smile
"Alright", he closes the fridge
I receive a text message from my mom
New message
Mom:Lauren
Where are you?
Answer your phone
The school called and said you missed class
What is going on, is everything okay?
"Oh no", I look up
Joey looks confused, "What?"
"My mom just texted me asking me why I missed class...", I nervously bite my lip, "She must be freaking out, I need to get going now Joey, please take me home"
"Look, everything is going to be okay, just take a deep breath in and relax"
"No, Joey you don't understand, I am going to get in so much trouble when I get home", I panic, "Please just take me home?"
I understand he is trying to calm me down, he somehow always manages to do so
He looks at me, "Pass me the phone, I will call her"
I pass him the phone and he calls my mom, she answers the phone right away
"Hello?", my mom asks
