I'm Not Going
Aaron noticed Keeley looked a little wan when he picked her up from the bus station. It looked like she had fun based on her Instagram pictures but now he wondered if she had a little too much fun.
"How was your trip?"
"It was good spending time with those guys," she said with a yawn. "I'm not ready for school to start tomorrow."
"Did you get any sleep at all this weekend?" he asked worriedly.
Upon closer inspection, she really didn't look good. Especially the bags under her eyes.
She let out a single 'ha' instead of her usual laugh. "Not really."
"Let's get you home then."
She went quiet and he thought maybe she fell asleep but she was simply staring out the window. He frowned. Was she really okay?
Aaron carried her suitcase up for her when they got back to the apartment building. He placed it in her room and came downstairs to find her with her face buried in her cat's fur. Maybe she just missed Molly.
