day 5 evening edition

Chance called and said he missed the bus. I went to pick him up. He walked to the truck

Me: How did you miss your bus

Chance: I just did

Me: Not an answer

Chance: can’t it be just I messed up

One of the bus monitors walked up and said Chance that was nice for you to stay with Casey till her mom came. She said Casey’s mom was late, and that was very unusual Chance went and sit with her till her mom got there, and he missed his bus

Me: Buddy, why didn’t you just say that

Chance: (turned red) because she isn’t my girlfriend

Me: I didn’t say a word, it was a nice thing to do. Nobody is mad

Chance: then stop talking about it

Me: I did stop you keep talking about it, how was your day

Chance: It was a day, can we not go to the city tomorrow and Casey comes over, please? Just yes or no, she is just my friend

Me: I have not said a thing about the fact she is a girl, it’s ok if you like her, or she is just a friend you are the only one that keeps saying that.

Chance: see, long-winded and you didn’t even give me an answer.

Me: you know that’s getting old

Chance: I didn’t do anything

Me:  fine to answer your question depends on you between now and Morning I’m sorry your mom left, but your overloading.

Needless to say, it was a quiet ride home. Dinner was quiet but I picked up pizza so not much to complain about. Chance came in and watch a movie in the living room, but never said a word. After the movie, he got up and said I’m going to bed love me, and walked off. I went to check on him, and he wasn’t in his room. My heart went to my throat, mass panic, I went to get my phone, he was in my room asleep. It was such a relief. I  worry I’m going to make it worse.
