I hugged Oliver goodbye before getting in Blaine's car. I yelled at him "did you have to honk you could have just yelled? You were literally right near me and I was in the middle of something".

"I don't care about your teenage fucking problems Elle" he replies. He shrugs it off, He didn't look at me, he's looking straight at the road like what I said didn't matter to him at all. Like some kind of emotionless robot.

"Jerk, Who put you in a foul mood today?" I chlucked. He glared at me. Seemed like he picked me up out of necessity more than just wanting to. I stayed quiet and I could tell he wasn't in the mood for conversation.
I looked over to him when he wasn't looking. The sun was hitting his face making it look shiny. He had the perfect tan skin, flawless in every way.

Finally he said something as we were driving "do you like him?" He looked over to me. I gasped in shock. I never thought he would say that to me. Even if he did I didn't think it would be about a boy. It looked like it bothered him but at the same time It could have been just a question. Trying to not read anything into it.

I replied, "I don't know if he's nice and sweet. I think I like him but I'm not sure". He stopped at a red light, looking over at me.

"your brother got stuck at practice for talking back to the coach. That's why I came to get you" he says to start a new conversation. I wondered why he asked about Oliver.
"Did he ask you to come get me?" I asked. Trying to work with the conversation because it's too awkward when it's quiet. Not because he hasn't before, it's just odd that he would. He would do it all the time when we were kids. He would walk me home but now that I was older and he wanted to be Mr cool so he never picked me up.

He smirked "No, I came without being asked" he licks his lips and focuses his eyes on mine. I thought he wasn't going to stop staring at me for a second. A second is all I needed to get air back into my lungs. My heart starts beating faster making my breathing quickening. I was anxious being around Blaine. It always happened. It was like when I was around him I got all quiet and nervous.

The car beeps behind us warning us of the green light. I looked away outside quickly turning my head, it was normal for Boston to be really rainy and cold. I asked "so is my brother getting out soon or am I home alone?". I was hoping he wouldn't stay at home with me. He increases my anxiety just being around him.

"Your brother is coming home soon, so I'm going to stay. Your welcome to join us" he says switching his hand on the steering wheel from his right arm to his left. I don't know why I found it kind of hot. It was the way he gripped onto the steering wheel making his veins pop out.

I pull out the book from my bag and start reading it. While I was deep in reading he took the book from my hands. He holds the steering wheel with one hand as he reads from a passage with the other "I put my hand inside of her pushing my fingers in and out. This is what your reading" he chuckles teasing me.

I hit him in the arm "shut up Blaine! And focus on the road" I yell.

I snatch the book from his hands. He starts laughing hard. He's such an ass. The car goes silent. I realize we're home. I wondered for how long and why I didn't notice it. I got out of the car before I could lock the door so I couldn't get out. I crossed my arms together pretending angry.
