Through the Window

Part 9

I get Shailees address and drive to drop her off as quickly as i can.

the car ride is extremely quiet and the tension is so thick you could probably punch it.

the minutes feel like they're dragging out for hours but we finally get to her house and i stop in front hearing her annoying voice start talking to Jacinto.

"where are you going to go?" she asks in a sticky sweet voice that is so fake i want to scream.

"Im going to Lena's." he says simply and i shake my head to myself.

no he is not. im taking him to jaxons. im not keeping him.

"what?" she asks disgust dripping in her sticky sweet tone.

"you could stay here." she says and i can tell shes trying to be seductive making my stomach turn. ew.

"no im going to Lenas." he says simply and i roll my eyes.

"fine." she says the sticky sweet gone from her voice replaced with a sour attitude.

she steps out of the car in one quick motion and walks to her front door before disappearing into her house.

Jacinto steps out too and gets in the front seat and i feel him look over at me.

i dont say anything but i can tell he wants me to look at him.

i dont.

i start driving and speak quickly.

"im taking you to jaxons." i say my voice cold.

"what why?" he asks and i laugh humorlessly.

"i just am." i say simply and he sighs shaking his head.

"no stop the car." he says and i look at him bewildered.

"what? no!" i say confused not stopping.

"Lena stop the car!" he says louder and i drive faster.

"Stop fucking telling me what to do!" i yell at him driving a bit faster still a safe speed but faster.

i can tell he's looking at me like im crazy but i dont care.

"LENA STOP THE CAR!" he screams at me and i get fed up pressing on the break. hard. the car jerks to a stop and he looks at me like im crazy.

"what has gotten into you?" he asks furrowing his brows as he looks at me.

"are you happy now? i stopped the car. now what? what do i have to do now because god forbid i do something Jacinto doesnt want me to!" i say irritation flooding my voice and he stares at me jaw dropped.

i know i may seem to have lost my mind but i hate when people tell me what to do.  

h a t e   i t .

like despise it like would kill someone if it came down to it and Jacintos pushing it.

"Lena can we please stop somewhere and talk?" he says running a hand down his face looking up at me his eyes pleading.

i hate him. he knows my weakness. those stupid brown eyes.

"fine." i grind out starting the car again glad it's nighttime and no one was driving down this street.

i drive around a bit looking for somewhere to stop when i finally find a little park.

i stop in front of it parking the car and stepping out. not waiting for Jacinto i walk to the first tree i see and stand under it looking up to the sky my arms crossed over my chest angrily.
