Cross- Roads:- What To Choose Love Or Friendship 45 Journey Back Home

After tending her blisters and seeing that Hayley was now smiling, Aaron felt content now. After a long time someone's smile gave him this kind of feeling like he had won the biggest lottery in the world. When Aaron resumed his position on driver's seat again Caleb's tossing and turning had stopped and he was trying to sit upright but there was still lots of alcohol in his body so his actions was rather sluggish and he was trying really hard to focus what was right in front of him. His vision was rather blur but he could hear perfectly and then he heard Aaron's voice he was saying something to someone " you should put his medicine on your blisters when you reach home" and then again as if he was reminded of something " and don't forget to clean your feet properly before applying this, Hayley." Hayley, this name made Caleb mind more focused and clear and his vision became little focused and he could see Hayley sitting on the pa.s.senger seat and he wants to talk to her, so he tried to extend his hands towards Hayley but he felt that his hands were way too heavy for him to lift them. While Hayley and Aaron were talking to each other Hayley sensed that sounds of tossing and turning coming from the back seat had stopped and she instinctively turns around and she saw Caleb sitting there rather motionless and she called out his name, when he heard his name being called out he looked towards the source of sound and his gaze met Hayley's worried gaze and he smiled foolishly. That foolish grin on Caleb's face made Hayley irritated somehow and that makes her call out his name in rather irritated manner. When Caleb heard Hayley's irritated voice he tries to act sobered up and said in his all professional voice " I am so sorry Hayley" after hearing this Hayley thought that Caleb had sobered up now and he was apologizing for his behavior while he was drunk. But what he said next left Hayley amused "I am sorry that I will not be able to take you to that aquarium trip" Caleb said in rather broken speech. This left Hayley confused and made Aaron chuckle. Aaron's chuckle made Hayley look at him, having a look mixed with anger and confusion directed his way Aaron rushed to explain " Don't mind him Hayley when he is in this state he says most random things in the world."

With that Caleb laid back on the seat and closed his eyes and Hayley sat upright in her seat looking out of the window and Aaron tried to focus on his driving. Three of them didn't know how much time had pa.s.sed and the car was way too quite, Hayley was feeling sleepy now, exhaustion from all day was finally catching up to her and her eyes were getting heavy by sleep with each pa.s.sing moment and she didn't know when she fell asleep. She woke up with the sound of opening and closing of the car door and when she looked around Aaron was not in his seat and the car was stopped right in front of a mansion and that mansion was not Keith's so where was she?"
