Chapter 19

Ash

Dinner with Kendall was just what I needed to stop feeling like crap. She lightened the mood and made me forget why I was so stressed out. Even though it was only an hour or two, it was nice to stop worrying about everything for once.

As we drove back to her house, I couldn’t help but watch her in the driver’s seat, twisting a strand of her blonde hair around her finger as she talked about how school was going. She was so beautiful. And not just her looks. Her personality is what I fell in love with at first. Her cuteness was just a bonus.

There was one thing I couldn’t forget about though. I could tell by the way she walked and sometimes touched her side that she was in pain and getting weaker, but she never said a word about it. Kendall was like that though. She hid her emotions well and didn’t worry about herself. She only worried about people she loved.

“So, Cameron talked to me the other day,” she said, glancing at me out of the corner of her eye.

My fists clenched. I hated Cameron. The stupid jock who Kendall used to like. He was a moron and I wasn’t shy about telling Kendall that. “What did he have to say?” I wasn’t jealous, just annoyed. Didn’t he get the hint that she wasn’t interested? She blew him off at Prom and everything. And she had a boyfriend. Me. Maybe I’d have to show up at his house one day and remind him.

She laughed. “Ash. Don’t worry about him. He knows how I feel. He actually asked me if Misty was available. A lot of guys have asked about her.”

“Did you tell him to go to—”

“I told him she wasn’t interested,” she said.

I shut my mouth and stared out the window. I would have told him plenty of other things to go along with it. He drove me nuts. “Misty wouldn’t go for a guy like him, would she?”

“No. She likes Sam.”

I knew it.

We stopped at a stop light and I drummed my fingers on the dashboard as we waited for it to turn green. “This is seriously the longest stop light ever.”

“I know,” Kendall said. “No one’s even around and I’m sure we’ll be sitting here for another five minutes.”

She was right. No cars were around and the streetlights flickered in the darkness. I stared at them, wondering why they were flickering at all. It was one thing for one light to be weird, but all of them at the same time?

“Seriously? Why won’t the light change?” Kendall asked. “If they didn’t have cameras on them I’d totally just go.”

The light changed then, and as Kendall pushed her foot on the gas, the car lurched forward and rolled to a stop in the middle of the intersection.

“What the heck?” Kendall said, as she tried to start the car again. It didn’t make a sound. “Great. My car’s dead.” She looked around. “We’re gonna have to get out and push.
