We sat in the car for what seemed like hours but in reality was only minutes. I waited for him to say something, anything. or at least make a noise even a sneeze would do. anything to break the silence which was driving me crazy. I looked at him and smiled not sure if I could say anything myself. "I'm sorry." I blurted out.

He seemed surprised at my apology. "why are you sorry? you didin't do anything."

"I got you in trouble with your parents,your dad thinks your out getting girls pregnant and lying about it.it's my fault,so i'm sorry." I apologized again

"Look don't worry about it. after I bring you home i'll talk to them and it will all be fine by tomorrow. ok?"

"yea thats fine,i just don't want you to get in trouble." he smiled at me and started the car. we got to my house about 10 minutes later. he hadn't known where I lived so when he saw my house I think he was surprised to see a small run down little broken home. my dad came running out of the house when he saw me get out of Randy's car. he looked extremly mad and he grabbed my arm and pulled me inside. I could hear the car engine still running in the driveway. My dad pushed me down and started screaming,probably loud enough for randy and all the neighbors to hear. it wasn't that uncommon. Hoping I wouldn't be turned down I got up and ran out the door towards the car. Randy rolled down the window and asked if I was ok. "uhhh...do you think you could give me a ride?" I asked scared

" yea definitly." he replied. I jumped in the car as soon as I could and we sped away. "So where do you want to go?"He asked At that point tears that I had been trying to keep inside escaped and I couldn't even manage to get out the words to answer his question.Randy pulled the car over and put it in park.

"You don't have anywhere else to go, do you?" He inquired

I wiped away stray tears and shook my head no. "You can come back to my house, i'll just sneak you in my room. It's no problem really." he offered "You'd do that for me?" I asked "Of course I would.we're friends and i'd do anything for my friends."he said He gave me a big hug then drove back to his house.
