"..."

You didn't want to say anything at all. You simply sat there in silence, blushing, fidgeting with your fingers, and avoiding eye contact with your sister.

"It's fine if you don't want to talk about it, Ash. Just know that I'm always here for you, and if you need someone to talk to, I'm here," she said, sounding somewhat disappointed.

Not yet, one day you will, but right now isn't the time. You're more focused on today than on the future. You can worry about it when you get home from school.

Next thing you knew, you and your sister arrived at the parking lot. "Oh, look, we're here already. Come on, Ash," she said, grabbing her bag and turning off the car.

She opened your side and smiled at you. "Keep up the shy girl vibe. See you around, Ash," she said, kissing your cheek. You simply blushed as you got out of the car.

Your heart was pounding as you realized you were now alone. Out in public. You steadied your breathing, trying to calm yourself down. Right now, no one was around you.

With a smile on your face, you walked excitedly towards the door.

You smile as you walk giddy at the door.
