“You should probably call Lindsey and David,” Kade says, referring to my parents.
I call my parents and they say they will be on the road back home around four in the morning, the next day. I get off the phone and take a nap. Kade says we are going to keep driving until he gets tired, so I might as well get some sleep. I climb into the back seat with Car and Terance, take my sweatshirt off and fold it into a pillow, then lay down, and fasten my seatbelt. I keep my eyes closed for about five minutes. I can feel him watching me. I’m very good at knowing when people are watching me. It’s like I can feel his eyes on me from the driver’s seat. I open my eyes, and find his eyes meeting mine in the rearview mirror. He doesn’t look away and neither do I. He takes a big breath, then looks away, having to keep his focus on the road. The way he looks at me sometimes – I have no idea what those eyes are searching for.
I feel the car stop and my eyes open. It feels like it’s been decades since I’ve been awake, but Kade says I was only asleep for about four hours. I sigh and sit up in the back seat. I rub my eyes with two fists and hop back up to the front seat.
“Where are we?” I look outside the window, trying to find a sign, but it’s too dark. “I’m not sure, all I know is we’re about 16 hours away from home, so I need to sleep.” He gets off the freeway and into a parking lot. He takes out his IPhone and asks Seri where we are. He then searches for nearby hotels.
“Kade, we don’t have time to check-in to a hotel. Let’s just sleep in the car and get back on the road as soon as possible,” I say. He sighs then gets into the back seat and takes out his emergency stash of blankets from under the passenger seat. He lays them out onto the back seat. I crawl to the back with him. He lays on one side, and I lay on the other. His head is at my toes.
“Kade?”
“Yeah?”
“What are we going to do?”
“We’ll figure it out.” At this point, I’m not sure who he’s talking about, Car or me. I sit up on my elbows, looking at his face, resting at my feet at the other side of the back seat. I know he’s awake. He’s just refusing to open his eyes and look at me. His closed eyes blink. He runs a hand through his hair, then takes a large gulp of air. I do the same, then lay on my side with my head at his feet, and try my best to sleep.
Chapter 9 : <-- Breaking
“I can’t believe you. God, you make me so fucking mad! You’re turning out to be everything everyone said you were. Stop begging for attention,” he says.
“Begging for attention? Really?”
“I didn’t mean it, I’m sorry,” he says back.
“That hurt,” I say.
“I said I was sorry, geez, stop being so selfish.”
Chapter 10 : Watch Her Heal -->
I wake feeling of the car moving. Which freaks me out, since the last time I checked, Becca was sleeping at my feet and the car was off. I jump up and unbuckle my seat belt so I can sit up straight. Once I’m upright, I buckle up again, sitting in the middle seat of the back row of my truck. I squint my eyes trying to get them to adjust in the night’s darkness or morning, but it’s summer. I don’t need to know what time it is. I focus my eyes on the driver’s seat. Becca. Her hair is in a messy ponytail that’s almost about to fall out. There are strands of her golden bangs in her face and her clothes are wrinkled. She’s sniffling and rubbing her eyes with one hand, while keeping the other on the wheel. I look out the front window to see only two big trucks and us on
