I lock eyes with him, and seconds later my eyes lock with Ro-chelle. She sees Hayes’s head on my lap. So does Jeff. Which makes him go back to his car, but I’m running after him.
“Jeff!!” I yell to him. My voice is still too weak, but I try my hardest to swallow the lump in my throat that won’t go away.
“What Alex!?!” He shouts. His voice is on the brinks of break-ing. My tears come first.
“Wait!!! Please!” I cry.
He stops walking and turns to me in panic.
“What’s going on, why are you crying?!? A-are you okay?!?” He panics.
“Can we talk in your car?” I ask, while staring off at my car.
I wipe my face as we head to Jeff’s car, the closer we get, I can feel my pulse increasing. When we finally make it to his car, we sit in the back seats in silence for a while. I needed to tell him what hap-pened, he deserved to know, but I wasn’t ready just yet. I’m always so bad at communicating my true feelings. So instead, I grip our held hands together tighter, and kiss him. He kisses me back passionately, while giving me a hug.
Midway through Jeff puts his hands up my thigh. Just like Ryan did. I immediately distance myself from him, in fear.
“I’m sorry.” He says.
I can’t digest his comment, all I can do is cry. I couldn’t help it, I couldn’t stop the tears, I couldn’t look at Jeff anymore.
“Something happened tonight.” I cry.
“What???” He voice is shaky, which scares me. My heart flutters in sadness, and my stomach keeps dropping.
Before I go to say anymore, I hear Jeff get out of the car. He slams the door on his way out which makes me jump. When I see that he’s going over to my car, I immediately get out the car and run to him.
He opens the back seat of my car, only to find a slumped Hayes. He’s now up, mumbling to himself.
