    Madison sat in the very last seat of the Greyhound bus as the driver started the ignition. Madison looked out the window at the town around her.
     "I won't miss this place." She thought to herself as she continued to survey the area around her.
     "We will be leaving in five minutes." The driver said turning to face her. Madison looked around at all the other faces on the bus. Including her there were only four people occupying it. She directed her attention back out tht window and watched as the traffic went by.
     "Ok we will now be departing." The driver said as he closed the door and buckled his seat belt. Madison breathed a sigh of relief as the bus began it's motion. She was flung forward in her seat when the bus was suddenly halted. Everyone looked around in confusion when the door flung open once again.
     "Madison? Madison?" Ashley's voice echoed throughout the automobile. She stood up slowly.
     "I'm right here." She said as he ran down the aisle to her.
     "Don't leave." He breathed heavily clutching her is his arms, "Please don't leave."
     "Ashley..."
     "No, you didn't do anything. I...I am the sorry one." He said still holding her.
     "But..." She began again.
     "No, you didn't do anything wrong. I was just kind of shocked that, well you know. I should've been more sensitive to you. I'm sorry for not being there and I am sorry your family isn't there for you but please don't leave. I need you." Ashley begged grabbing her bags and her hand and motioning for her to exit.
     "Ashley..." Madison whined.
     "You are going to go back to my house and spend time with me so I can make up for being such an ass last night." He said when they had stepped off the bus and watched it drive away.
     "Ashley, I can't just go back home. I know it's so simple for you just to apologize and ask me to stay and all that. But if you ever felt the way I do every time I look at the disappointment in my brother's face, or heard him talking about me...you wouldn't be able to stay there either. It's so hard to go back there, knowing that they hate me. Knowing that if Mark were still here, he would hate me too." She said as tears fell from her eyes.
     "They are all stupid. You made a mistake. Everyone makes a mistake." Ashley comforted her wiping the tears off her cheeks.
     "I made like twenty mistakes." Madison pulled away.
     "I don't care how many mistakes you've made. I want you to stay because I love you. I love the person you are, I don't care about anything but how you are." Ashley consoled her, "I care about you." Madison suddenly looked up at him in awe.
     "I love you too."
