Reading kaizley's journal

It's the a bit of the "novel" that I am writing, which is at the moment, seven pages long... but I'll get there! I thought this was sweet.

“Yeah… I guess.” Lee answered quietly. Hallie looked up at him. He stared at her pillows, pretending not to notice the slight disappointment in her eyes.
“Why?” She asked rather bluntly. Lee looked down at her, surprised with her rude tone. Hallie knew she had said the wrong thing, and ignored his gaze.
“I…I don’t know.” He stammered, looking back at the pillows. Again there was a silence.
“I think I should get home.” He says, getting off the bed.
“Yeah. Okay.”
They walked out to the hall and out the door. Pausing awkwardly for a moment, Hallie hugged him, and Lee gave her a quick peck on the cheek. Both smiled shyly as Lee walks down the path and back up the street, now launched into darkness.

A car came up behind him as he approached his house. It beat him to the driveway. His mother got out and stood at the door while she waited for her son to walk up. Together they went inside and had a cup of tea before bed.

I'm once again trying to get used to using past tense instead of present tense (from all the script writing) so sorry if it's a bit dodgy.

"I'm free to say whatever I, whatever I like if it's wrong or right, it's alright."
