Once they finally finished eating, we were back on the road almost back to LA. We had been talking about childhood things and just the most random things people don’t usually talk about which was nice because we never got quiet until a little later.
“Hazel?” I hear Colby say to quiet.
I sit up straight from leaning over toward the window and stare at Colby through the rear view mirror. Sam has just knocked out and was snoring softly and had his face covered with his hoodie. “Yeah?” I say in return.
I could see a slight awkward look on his face and he was fighting something to say. It was cute in a way that he was nervous but I couldn’t help but giggle a little and his eyes everted to me in the back and he smiled. “What are you laughing at?” He asked, curiosity in his eyes.
I shake my head,”what were you going to tell me?”
“I know this is weird but you can always stay at our place until you go back home in the morning?” He says, keeping his attention toward the road. Thankful but I didn’t want to make this more awkward or embarrassing for me. I had to go home now, even if I didn’t have any of my things with me. I had to get on a bus and head home. “Colby... I really appreciate it but I can’t. I have to go home. This has been so much for me and I don’t think I can do this anymore in LA. I haven’t been happy here in such a long time and now nothing is really holding me back here.” I explain. I turned my focus back onto the night streets as I thought of home. Everything I said was completely honest and I didn’t ever think I’d say it. Zoey always made me feel like I was nothing but LA material. I left my parents and my home for this with zoey when we graduated school together. I never planned on coming here and yet, here I was. I had gotten into UCLA for a photography and graphics when I enrolled and was lucky enough to get it right when I arrived here. Zoey did too and that’s how she met Alex and ever since then, it was the three of us. Until they started YouTube and it went far for them so it wasn’t the three of us anymore, zoey made it all about just them. I wanted to go home to back to my parents, especially my dad. Well let’s be more technical, he was my step father but still my dad. I was so close to him when he married my mom and he always accepted my choices when it came to school or even my hobbies. My mother wasn’t that bad but she wasn’t my dad, my dad knew everything about me. Even the most awkward things that have happened to me that you would think I’d tell my mom but I couldn’t. My mother likes to judge and I don’t like to be judged, my father never did that and he was always so open to me telling him anything and everything and that’s why he was my best friend when it really came down to it. My real father disappeared when my mom found out about me and she basically was alone for parts of her pregnancy until she met my step dad. “Colby?” I say turning back to him. I see his eyes look at me through the mirror, “can I use your phone? I need to call my dad.”
Hello! I apologize for the very very late update. I recently moved into my own place and got a new job so I was completely busy for a while but now I am settled in and ready to get back into this!
