Chapter 3
“Hello?”
“Hey Colton, its me Mary.”
“Oh uh hey Mar, what`s up?”
“Colton just stop, you weren`t in school, you left me all alone at Bucks, what is going on?”
“Nothing. Yesterday I left bucks because I had to go pick up Kyle from
baseball practice and I wasn`t in school because I had a doctor`s appointment.
Okay? There is nothing to worry about.”
“Doctors?”
“Just a check-up, don’t worry about it.”
“ Do you want to go out to dinner?”
“Mary I really don`t feel …”
“Please Colton.”
“Fine, 6:30?”
“Yeah, See you then!”
“Mary, Colton is here!” my mom yelled.
“Okay, send him up!”
“Hey Mary.”
“Hey do you mind waiting one minute I need to finish putting on my make up.
Ill be right back. Then we can go.”
“Alright”
We both get into the car without a word being said. Colton is driving while I’m in the
passenger seat. Everything is silent except the engine of the car.
“Colton?”
“Yeah?”
“What is wrong with…”
“Stop Mary. I`ve told you, don’t ask me about it.”
“But Colton, I`m just worried about you.”
“Don`t be. I’m fine.”
The Car goes silent as we pull up to the red stop sign. We reach a complete
stop and the car doesn’t start up again.
“Uh, Colton?”
“Colton wake up!”
“Huh, Oh sorry Mary. I just got like no sleep last night. Don`t worry.”
“Okay Colton pull over. I’m driving. “
