"Where are we going?"

"Somewhere to take your mind of things."

What?

"Since when were you so nice?"

"Shall I drop you off at home?"
He laughs.

"No, I don't want to go back yet."

"Then shut up and let me take you somewhere."

The rest of the drive was silent.

*******

"Dude, we've been walking for hours!"

"Its been 5 minutes you wimp."

He starts laughing. Nothing is funny my legs are gonna fall off!

"Here, we're here.."

"Wow!"

It's beautiful, standing on top of the hilltop, I can see so much. It's breathtaking.

"Its beautiful, right?"
He looks amazed even though I'm pretty sure he's probably seen this view more than once before.

"Why were you crying?" he whispers.

"I really don't know. I think things just got on top of me"

I cant give him any more than that. It's the truth.

"OK, when you want to talk I'm here. I'd take that as well because I'm never nice."

"Thank you."

"So what's your story princess?"

"My story?"

"Yeah you know, who are you?"

I let out a laugh. He doesn't come across as the type of guy that wants to know me.

"I'm Rylee, I'm 18 and my life's fucked up."

He laughs...
"Wow, we're almost twins. My names Gino, I'm 22 and my life's fucked up too."

"Care to elaborate?"

"Maybe another day princess."

We don't say another word. We sit there and stare at the beautiful view.
He comes closer to me and puts his arm around me. I should and could move but I don't. I know in the next few hours he'll be back to asshole Gino. So right now? I'll take him this way.

"You sure you're OK?"
He's driven me back home, my battery on my phone is dead so I have no idea what time it is, but I don't care. I've had an amazing last two hours. Peaceful.
He probably doesn't know it but he has an amazing calmness about him.

"I'm better now, thank you!"

"Good, see you later."

He drives off. The kiss wasn't mentioned, I know it meant nothing its obvious what kind of guy he is.
Player.
I'm just grateful that he took care of me today.
Something.. No not something.
He is making me excited for work today.
But for now? Time to face reality.
