"For being here." I elaborated "I would have been fine on my own, but I guess your company is appreciated."
Stone let his head fall back for a second to let out a deep laugh "That sounded like it caused you pain to say."
Joining with his laughter, I shrugged "I guess I'm not used to all of this niceness between us."
He glanced at me as he chuckled before shifting the gearstick.
"It is kind of nice." I admitted before I joked "Although, I really do not want to stop insulting you. I still have a few good comebacks in me."
"I do not doubt it."
The sun shone down on both of us, and I felt the warmth start to crawl to my face. I felt like I could not breathe. I was starting to think that going to the graveyard was not such a good idea.
Even the thought was enough to make me panic. I did not like to confront things that made me feel too deeply.
Hence, my denial of the dark enigma that was seated beside me. I knew something was there but I was still unsure what. I thought that ignoring the feeling I had with him meant that it would eventually go away.
That was still my philosophy for going forward with him.
"Medusa." Stone called gently to break me out of my daydream "Where about is the cemetery?"
It took me a minute to realise what he was saying and when I did, I muttered "It is Willow Cemetery. Just off the road that is near that big gas station."
He nodded before his concerned eyes wandered down to my leg. I followed his gaze and found that I had not realised that my own leg was shaking violently.
I put my hand down on my knee and tried to calm down the tremors as I took a deep breath in and out.
Stone did not mention it but it looked like my uneasiness bothered him. His attention switched between the road and my shaking leg as he clenched and unclenched his jaw.
"So why green, Medusa?" He asked, obviously changing the subject.
I let out a breath "What do you mean?"
"Your hair." He said before questioning "Why did you choose to dye it green?"
"I don't really know. I have always been fascinated by the colour. I guess the colour green symbolises nature and energy. “I tried to come up with a reason better than telling him that just liking the colour.
My eyes widened when I realised that energy and nature had no correlations to me at all.
"Oh my god. Green is not even my colour." I shared with him "None of those things represent me. I don't leave my house to enjoy nature and the only kind of energy I require is to change the channel on the remote or turn over a page in a book."
