One More Minute With Him

To Drive Nowhere

***Cody’s P.O.V.***

Once again today I watched as she drove off. I needed to find a way to telling her what is really going on. I walked to my truck. I hit the door. looking down at my hand I saw the blood coming from my knuckles. a little pain never hurt to much right? A saying I knew all to well.

“Stupid.” I yelled.

I had to get Kaylee back and the way to do that was  to get Arianna to talk to me. I hoped in and drove back to the school thinking of a plan to get Michelle to talk to me. By the time I got back I had it planned out and so I texted her asking her to meet me at my house tonight at seven.

I pulled in just as Arianna got out and walked to school. I parked and got out. I watched as she opened the door to the school. She looked back at me and- Smile? What the heck was that all about?

I need to call and talk to Brandon to see how pissed he was at me for doing what I did to Arianna a few weeks ago.

I just waiting tell I know that she was on at less the second floor.

I looked at my truck and back at the school. I hopped back in and drove off. I moved closer to my house. My father wasn’t home so I know that I wasn’t going to be yelled at.

Michelle was going to meet me after school was over. I needed to talk to her about the fact that if I ever wanted Kaylee back then it was going to be over between me and her. Kaylee meant more to me than anything. But at the same time I can’t back out or Michelle was going tell everyone about what happen when I was gone for a year.  

It was about six and she still wasn’t here yet.  For as long as I have known her she was always here a half hour before anything.

I walked to my room and turned the Xbox on. I pushed my chair to my bed and began playing MW3. After a bit I looked to the clock to see that it was almost eight. I guessed that she wasn't coming so I went back to my game.

“I love that you don’t answer your phone when I call. “ I jumped at her bitchy voice. Goodness sometimes just her voice can make me go crazy.

“s**t Michelle you scared the s**t out of me.” I then added. “How’d you even get in my house?”

“I know where your key is.” She said as she walked over to the bed.

“So how did things go with the slut?” She asked.

“Michelle you know as well as I do that she isn’t one.” I looked up at her.

“Well she is a taker. Brandon is mine not hers and she thinks she can walk all over me?” She knows she could.

“Michelle think about what she will do when she learns that you fear her.”

“She doesn’t scare me.” She said. I laughed. you could see it in her eyes that she fared Arianna. 

"what are you laughing at?” She asked.

“That fact that you think she doesn’t scare you is an understatement.” I started laughing even hard tell I felt my cheek heat up. I looked to her a with a shocked looked.

“What the hell was that for?” I said as I pulled my hand to my face.

“Because you won’t stop laughing at me.” She placed her hands on her hips.

“Well sorry but-“ I stood up from my chair. “I just am stating the facts that you fear her. And then the reason why you’re here standing in my room is because you and I need to talk about a few things. Starting with the fact that it’s your fault I lost Kaylee. You have no idea how pissed I am at myself for listening to you about what I should do about Arianna.”

“It’s not my fault you lost her that was your. You’re the stupid one that had to leave. So don’t put this on me. I didn’t nothing wrong.”

“Besides cheating on your boyfriend with his best friends. Or should I say making his best friend chat on him with.”

“Watch what you say. You don’t want the whole school knowing about you little but dark secret now do you?”

That stopped me. That has always stopped me. I didn’t want or need the school to know about me and what happen a few years back.

“That’s what I thought. Now if you don’t mind I have a couple of things to get off my chest.” And with that I know my night wasn’t going to be fun.

***Arianna P.O.V.***

I looked at the walls of my room. Brandon called telling me how the family was holding up and then had to go. He was coming home in a few days. I was bored now that he wasn’t here and the family was out doing something with the band. I didn’t feel like going to it but now that I think about it I think I would have been better off.

I did all my homework for the night and had nothing else to do, Kaylee wasn’t going to be back tell tomorrow morning before school.

She called right after I got off the phone with Brandon.

I looked at my walls again. I looked over to my night stand and saw my keys. I had a full tank of gas and nothing to do.

I jumped off my bed at grabbed my keys. I walked down the hall way to the front door. I was opening the door when Gale went to knock. It was eight at night what was he doing here?

“Hey?” I asked.

“Hey what’s up?” He asked in return.

“Um I was going to go for a ride. You know just drove where ever the road takes me for a while.”

“That’s cool. So I stopped by to let you know that I was thinking about you and was wondering if you want to go get something to eat. Say Taco Bell?” He said.

“Um. Well the driving is a yes but the eating is a no.”

“Okay do you want to take my truck?” He asked.

I looked to his 2012 truck. It was a king cab. The color was black. Yes I wanted to driving in his truck.

“Yes.” Was all I said.

“Okay lets go then.”

We walked to the truck and he opened my door. Once I was in the car, he was in his seat. 

We drove for what felt like forever but it was wondering and not boring. We talked about anything from school to our life.

“So do you have a man in your life Arianna?” The shocked me.

“Um, yeah I do but he doesn’t go to our school. His in colleges.”

“Well that’s cool. Is he a good boy or a bad guy?” He asked. I thought about Brandon and how he was.

“His a little of both I guess you could say.”

“That’s good. How do you get to see him?” He was playing 20 questions with me.

“When ever I want really.”

He just nodded.

I looked at the clock and laughed. It was one in the morning. I had no clue to where we were. I laughed even more.

“What are you laughing at?” Gale asked.

“The time. Its late I should be getting back home and be going to bed.

“Okay.” And with that he turned the truck around and headed back to my house. 

On the way back to my house I thought about what it would be like if everyone know. And once again the feeling was unsealing. I wasn't apart of this crew that Brandon, Gale, Cody or even Kaylee were apart of.
