Chapter 26: Bare

I looked up to him and I saw softness in his eyes. I didn't know what to say so I smiled and muttered "Thanks" in a very small voice.

I heard him chuckle. It was another night to remember.

Quietly, I went inside his car. I wore seatbelts while he walked to the other side where the driver's seat is.

As soon as he got in, hiss scent attacked my nose. I tried my best to not look at him for it will only give me demons in my stomach. Especially that his words echoed on my mind like a broken cassette tape.

He started his car and drove back to our home. I stayed silent the whole time. I just entertained myself with the sceneries that we were passing through. He didn't bother to talk, either.

The only thing I can hear is his stereo and probably the crickets in my head.

Not long enough, we arrived home. I immediately went out and walked inside our house. I sensed he did the same. I also saw my brothers' car on their usual parking so I assumed they are already here.
