Clay & Hannah -The night was ours

The Monet's mug

My friends and family concern for me grew deeper as the days pasted on by, I did noticed a slight change in everyone behaviour when they were around me on how they chose their next words wisely not to trigger a unknown reaction out of me. They would talk in quiet whispers when I weren't in the room about me but I acted like I didn't know when I did apon returning, I guess things can never be the same ever again

After grabbing a hot chocolate and a couple of grilled cheese toasties to go from Monet's me and Tony walked back to my place. Why didn't we drive back? Good question, Tony thought it would be best to get some fresh air and help clear my mind but I knew there was a hidden motive behind this....

'Did my mom put you up to this Tony' I asked curiously, breaking the silent that fell over since we left Monet's a block and half ago

'She didn't actually'

I raised a brow suggestively at his last words and bitten into my cheese toasties, burning the tip of my tongue in the process but it was well worth it to taste that warm gooey cheese, I'll forever keep burning my taste buds to keep doing this

'Alright brother' he sighed gently, taking a sip of his coffee. 'She might have had a word in my ear but we haven't really caught up with each other lately'

'Kind of my fault as well you know, you're my first brother after all' I admitted. 'I should be able to turn to you as well when I need you'

'You can call me anytime of the day or night if you just want to talk; I'm always here for you'

'I know Tony'

I nodded my head and felt a new presence appear besides on the sidewalk, Hannah adjusted her beanie and scarf that was on her. I guess she wanted to check in on me as well and to make sure I get home safe as the three of us walked back to my place as there was no explanation on why she was here

'Do you want to hang out some night Clay?'

'Yeah why not, I haven't been down yours in ages' I exclaimed. 'But what would we do'

'We can take the Mustang for a drive' he admitted'. 'I might even let you get behind the wheel'

'You seriously getting to let me drive her'

Tony nodded his head and took a sip of his coffee; I can already imagine myself behind the wheel of that sweet ride

'You're the best brother ever'

'I only aim to please'

'But why now tho'

'You look a little deflated recently and I thought letting you drive my baby will put a smile back on your face'

We finally made it back to my house and I saw Hannah smiled warmly at me as she halted to a stop outside the house, Tony and I walked up the stairs but Hannah didn't follow as her presence was gone from my side. I turned around and she was gone again now as I rushed down the steps and looked down the ends of my streets

'You ok Clay' he asked curiously

'Yeah I'm fine'

'What are you looking for?'

'Nothing.... anymore' I said sadly

I turned back on my heel and caught with Tony on the steps on the porch, the house was cold when we entered and no sound of life could be seen or heard downstairs so we went upstairs to my room is search for Justin. He was sat on the small couch in the room playing the newest Assassin's Creed Odyssey on my PlayStation

'You wanna play' he asked, not averting his gaze from the tv

'Nah I'm good' I informed him as Tony and I sat down next on the couch
