I like the universe, but she messes with my words
Who: Holly Tremblay and Zeke McMahon
When: Early evening
Where: Holly's house
The entire ride over to Holly's, Zeke was all but silent. The thoughts weren't leaving him alone, though - the same words kept tumbling over and over in his head. Holly has a boyfriend named Jamie who lives back in London and she hasn't mentioned him all this time. One hand gripped the steering wheel tighter as he drove, the other out the window, ignoring the rain. Right now Zeke just needed to feel the air moving around him, even just a little bit, using it as a way to keep him calm.
It wasn't his place to be angry over it. It wasn't his place to be jealous, either. He couldn't explain why he was. The feeling in his gut didn't go away, though, and he couldn't turn it away and ignore it forever. No matter how much he tried. And Holly knowing him as well as she did, it wasn't like he was going to be able to hide this from her, either.
Scooby shifted next to him in the passenger seat. I don't like it when you're this quiet, the dog said, laying his head on the center console of the Jeep.
"Not now, Scooby." Zeke wasn't going to try and explain how he felt, not when he couldn't put that into words for himself. Now he was just going to return Holly's phone, get his back, and try to act like this wasn't bothering him. He'd need all the luck he could get.
Parking in front of Holly's house, Zeke let Scooby out and they both approached the door, Scooby reaching it first and waiting for Zeke to knock.
