I agreed and I had a glass of a vodka. They didn’t make me stop, they made me drink more.Soon I was very drunk. But I had my senses and when it got ... pm. I asked one of my friends to drop me at the bus station. I went to the bus stop and I got on the bus at night. The bus started the journey at around 10 pm. It was a long 6 and a half hour journey. As soon as I got on a seat, I was asleep. I got a good night sleep that night. I didn’t feel the time passing.I reached the bus station at around. "Hey, don't worry, it's probably not anything drastic just start it upand let me have a listen." His hands were still turning back and forth with whatever it was as shetwisted the key. He cocked his head a little to the side and squinted ashe mimed for her to twist the throttle a little. As she did he crouchedand held his hand down near the engine and asked her to pull the clutcha few times. "Okay shut it off." He wiped his hand on the cloth that he'd beenpolishing a metal part with as she. "Figures pervert" and rolled her eyes at me. I stood like a idiot and tried to ignore her.Finally my mom was able to drive us to school. When we both got out I noticed Beth was chewing on some gum. "Could I get a piece please" she rolled her eyes and gave a huge sigh before grabbing me by the face and kissing me in the middle of the school. Her tongue pressed the chewed gum to the roof of my mouth.When all the boys saw this they rushed over to ask if he and Beth were dating."No our paren-" I. Luckily for me, I had Rob. He would hold me while I cried and stroked my hair, wipe away my tears and hold me again. I think it was then that I realized just how much I really cared about him. A year later, our lives had moved on and while we all still really missed Ed, things needed to be done. Ben and Darla had become exceptionally close as well through the ordeal and Rob and I both knew that it wouldn’t be long before the two of them would be moving into the house. That spring had been great.
