CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE

I STARED AROUND in awe when we arrived at the forest just outside the neighborhood. Our little club house was still there! Okay, so it wasn't really little-both of us could stand up in it and it had room for four people to sleep without being too crowded. There was the furniture we had fashioned ourselves: the crates we had used for chairs and the stump we used for a table. I marvelled at Landon's ingenuity in bringing me here again.

"Have you been here recently?" I asked.

"Uh yeah, every so often," Landon said. "I come here to think and just to get away from shit and have some privacy. Even Lydia doesn't know about this place, because I've never told her."

"Why should I believe you?" I asked, crossing my arms.

"Have I ever lied to you?" Landon probed. I shook my head. He had never lied to me, as far as I knew. "Have you ever come back?" he wondered.

"Not since the kissing lessons," I responded. I put my foot on one of the crates, and pressed down on it to test its strength, before I sat down.

"It seems like we've both gotten better since then," Landon observed, sitting on the floor in front of me.

"Maybe just you. I don't know about me," I said. We sat in silence for a while. "You think they're done yet?" I asked.

"Who?" Landon asked.

"My parents and that man who is supposed to be my grandfather," I replied.

"Dunno," Landon said.

"I don't want to go back there tonight!" I announced. "I just can't!"

Landon stared at me for a moment before standing. "Hang on a second, okay?"

He left the little fort and walked away. I heard him talking on the phone, but didn't know whom he was talking to. I shifted, suddenly uncomfortable on the crate, then stood up as Landon came back.

"Ok, let's go," he directed me.

"Go? Where?" I asked.

"You're staying at my place," Landon said. "It's too cold out here to spend the night like we used to. My folks are fine with it and so are yours."

"Is that who you called?" I asked, following him out of the fort. Landon nodded. "My parents actually agreed?"

"Well, your mom did," Landon said. "She said she'd wait until your father calmed down before she told him. They started arguing again after your grandfather left."

"Oh," I said. We got back to his car and sat in it without Landon making a move to start the engine. "Are you okay?" I asked.

"I'm just trying to remember if we have anything that you can wear at my place, or if we have to stop at your place in the morning," Landon pondered. Was he actually suggesting that he was going to drive me to school and risk being seen with me? What the hell was going on?

"I'm okay. I can wear this outfit tomorrow," I said. Landon looked me up and down and nodded before turning on the car and finally driving.

Landon's room had two twin beds, so he slept in his and gave me the extra one, which had been used by his friends when he was younger.
