“Why do we bother to stay?” //One-on-One! {closed, stalkers welcome}//

"Well, I was thinking we'd probably have to book a hotel room for the night. The cheapest as it can get" she replied, a pink tint growing across her cheeks as she realized she'd probably have to get a room with just one bed

“That’s a good plan..I scrounged up some money from the wards around, you know some pick pocketing skills put to the test” he points to the bags in the back, “all the money is in there”

"Good" she replied, trying to cover her blush. She turned left and they were almost there

He looks closer, “are you feeling alright? Your face is awfully pink”

Dangit! "Yeah, I'm fine! What do you mean pink?" she exclaimed, her sleeve muffling her words

“Just kinda…blush-y” he giggles slightly, before trying to play off the giggle as a cough, “but if you’re sure you’re fine..”

She rolled her eyes sarcastically, "pfft, of course I'm fine. I've always been fine" she explained, half of the sentance being untrue

“always?” He asks suspiciously

Her breath got caught in her throat. She absoloutly hated lying and hated people who lied to her so she mumbled instead of saying a flat out "no…"

“No one has always been okay” He says, matter-of-factly, “there’s times when I think I’m never going to be okay. And there’s other times where I wonder, ‘when will I be not okay?’” He seems to be talking more to himself than anyone else

A simple "yeah" sufficed for a response, this being a subject she didn't talk about in the open, not since her grandmother had died

He quickly quiets, messing with the knobs on the radio, trying to find something to listen to

"Anyways…" she hummed, watching him flip through channels, "We're almost there" she finished

(I gtg. goodnight)

“Thank goodness” he whispers, “not that I hate being around you or anything!” He says quickly, “I just…you know..”

"I don't, but it's ok" she replied, brushing her hair off of her shoulder as she made another left turn

He settles on a station, playing some catchy, stupid song, “…should I make some food when we get there?” He asks

"That'd be nice" she replied, smiling lightly as she pulled into a neighbourhood

“Is this where your aunt lives?” He asks quietly

"Last time I saw her yes." she replied, taking a few breaths in and out

“I don’t even know where my family lives…none of them” He says quietly

"Oh, that…" she slipped into scilence, "That sucks" she finished

“Well…I never really knew most of them anyways…”

"That," she thought about it for a second, "That makes sense" she replied

“I mean I knew them…but I forgot..” he sighs, “it doesn’t matter though”

She sighed and pulled into a drive way, recognising the car immediatly, "She's here" she muttered, her face loosing all of it's colour yet again

“I’ll come in with you” He says
