"Amy, I said I was sorry for opening up to my aunt. She's my second mother and I needed someone to talk to."
"..."
"Please, talk to me. You can't remain silent forever. It's just the two of us here."
"..."
"Do you want to go somewhere else? You don't have to follow me home if you don't feel like it."
Amelia blinked severally to push back her tears but didn't say anything.
"Do you want me to take you to your father?"
"..."
"Your friend's house?"
"..."
Feeling like he was about to explode from frustration and depression, Blaze slowly veered off the four-lane road, taking Amelia by surprise. He pulled over by the side of the road but left the engine running.
Taking off his seatbelt, while Amelia watched with a hint of fear in her eyes, he turned to face her, tears welling up in his eyes.
