Chapter Six

Somehow, Johnny and I managed to finally finish up in the shower, and he joked that I had saved him a lot of trouble; he was going to be late to the bus and possibly have to figure out his own way home, but since I was there, I could be his ride. “What put it in your head to come and see the game?” he asked me playfully as we walked out to my car. The parking lot was absolutely deserted.. It almost felt chilly against my wet hair, and I shivered, remembering the reason I had come. My stomach started to churn, my heart to beat faster inside of me.

“I had to see you,” I said, giving him the best smile I could muster. I unlocked the car, and Johnny joked that it wasn’t much for a rich girl like me to be driving. “I’d have thought you’d be rolling in, like, a Benz or something.” I laughed, for a moment ceasing to think about the terrible facts that had forced me to come so far to talk to him.

“My dad said that if I graduate college Summa Cum Laude, he would buy me a Benz then, but this car was brand new when he got it for me and chock full of safety features. Way more appropriate for a first-time driver.”

I pulled onto the road and found the Interstate once more and everything started to crowd in on me again. I knew I had to go through with it; I just couldn’t pretend like everything was okay. I had to actually talk to Johnny about the situation. Even if he had been sweet and loving to me, even if he had given me several of the best orgasms of my life, I couldn’t just ignore the questions hanging over my head. I turned the volume down on the music and tried to think of the best way to approach the topic. I realized that there was no really good way to ask the questions I had on my mind.

“Johnny,” I said slowly. “I need to talk to you about something.” Johnny smiled at me from the passenger seat, reaching out to take my hand.

“Anything, babe. I’m all ears.” That made it so much harder for me to even begin. I swallowed the lump I could feel forming in my throat.

“What…what really happened to Claire?” my heart was beating faster and faster. “I know there was, I mean…” I couldn’t finish the sentence; I couldn’t tell him what my mom had said. Johnny’s hand fell away from mine, and I glanced over to see that the smile on his face was gone, as well.

“It’s not something you want to hear. It’s…it’s really bad, and it still hurts,” he said. I swallowed again, biting my bottom lip. I couldn’t just let it go.

“I’ve been hearing a lot of different things,” I said slowly. “I don’t — I want to hear about it from you. I trust you. I’ll know what to think if you can just tell me.
