Andy threw clothes in a duffle bag packing quickly before she lost the nerve to do it in the first place. She needed to get away it was like she was slowly suffocating in this house. In four weeks she will be a married woman and that freaked her out big time. Now she loved Luke but she had many doubts if she could be with him for life? The more she thought about it the crazier she got. She then headed into the kitchen and found a pen and paper so she could right Luke a note.

(I had to leave heading up to see my dad he is having

A rough time sorry I didn't get to see you before I left will call you as soon as possible.

Andy)

She wrote down on the pad and left it on the counter so he would see it when he got home. Andy then took another look around the house before she left out the door on her road trip hoping to cure whatever seems to be the problem with her. Andy gas up the car she got from her best friend Tracy. Andy grabbed a few snacks and something to drink then she started on her journey.

She had been driving which seemed like forever so she decided to pull over and stretch her legs and maybe grab a bite to eat. She had stopped at a little diner it wasn't that many people which she liked. Andy found a booth and ordered her a burger and fries. While she waited on her food she pulled out her phone and saw she had three missed calls all from Tracy. She then dialed Tracy back

"Well looked who decided to answer her phone" Tracy started in on her

"Sorry I did not hear it" she tried explaining

"Are you alright?" she asked Andy

"Yes just stopped to grab a bite to eat" as she looked around

"I should have come with you?" Tracy told her

"No I am okay and besides we both can't go MIA at the same time to many question to answer" she said with a laugh

"Do you think this will help you Andy?" Tracy asked

"I sure hope so trace" as she let out a deep breath

"Well you call me and keep me posted, keep your doors lock and don't talk to strangers" Tracy told her as she ran down her list

"Okay mom" Andy started laughing at her friend "bye Tracy"

Andy then sat and enjoyed her lunch she was in no rush. She watched as several people came and left the diner families, couples but then a man walked in and this particular person caught her eye. As Andy was paying her bill the dark hair, muscular build, and black leather jacket had her distracted that she could not hear the lady behind the cash register call her name.

"Ma'am!" the lady yelled

"Sorry" Andy said as she handed her the money

Andy then turned to leave when she heard someone yell after her just as she reached the door. She turned around to see the mystery man standing there.

"I believe you left these?" As he handed Andy her sunglasses

"Thank you" she said as she took them.

Andy caught her breath when he smiled at her, he had thee sexiest dimples she had ever seen. She could not move it was like they were controlling her. Until he turned and walked back to the counter, Andy then hurried out the diner to her car but not before he turn around to catch another look at her.

He asked the lady behind the counter "who was that?"

"Don't know guess she is new here" she said

Andy sat in her car for a moment to collect herself all she had going through her mind was those damn dimples. She had to smile because he was sexy. She then pulled out of the diner and headed on her journey. About 15 minutes later she had to pull over because her tire went flat. She got out in frustration what had she done to deserve this. Now she wished she had paid attention to her dad when he tried to teach her how to change a flat. How hard could it be she thought to herself? She then went to the trunk and got the spare tire and the jack. Now what to do with it she was clueless. So she called Tracy but she did not answer, then she tried Chris and Dov but neither answered. Mad at herself she kicked the tire but that didn't help because she hurt her foot.

"Wow really stupid tire" Andy cursed at the car

She then threw her cell phone in the car and sat on the hood trying to think of other options. An hour had pass so she decided to walk back to the diner it was getting dark soon and she did not want to be out here alone. As she grabbed her wallet and cell phone from the car a truck pulled up and asks did she need help? Happy to see help Andy jumped at the opportunity.

"Yes thank you so much" she said

The man then cut the engine to the truck and got out Andy then stopped in her tracks because it was the man from the diner. She could not move what luck she had that out of all people he would be the one to stop and help her.

"So what seems to be the problem?" he asked

"Flat tire" she managed to get out

"Do you have a spare?" as asked as he took off his jacket

Andy eyes immediately went to his fore arms and she was impressed "yes I do"

"Alright let's get this tire changed"

Andy watched him in awe as he used his muscle to help jack up the car, he had her tire off in record time. He was now putting on the spare when Andy decided to make small talk.

"So do you know any motels around here?" as she watched him take a sip of his water.

"Lucky bottle" she mumbles to herself

"Did you say something?" he asked

Andy was caught off guard "Umm no just talking to myself"

"Well there is a descent motel up the road reasonable prices" he told as he got off the ground

"Okay sounds good to me" as she gave him a smile

"I am sorry I am being rude" as he wiped the dirt off his hands "the name is JD"

"Hi JD my name is Candace" as she shook his hand and that sent a chill over her whole body.

"Visiting family if you don't mind me asking?" as he put the flat tire in the trunk

"Just passing through" she told him as she licked her lips. All she could focus on was his lips when he talked and how they looked so damn kissable. Andy jumped when JD called her name she was so focused on her daydream.

"Sorry what did you say?" she asked again

A huge smiles spreads across his face when he notice her staring "No I was just saying we have some very great tourist spots if you wanted to check before you left"

"Well that would be nice but I don't know my way around" as she opened her door

"Well I could show you around if you like?" JD offered

It sounded very tempting "well I will have to pass because I am on a tight schedule plus I don't know you" she looked at him

"Trust me I am not a serial killer" as he threw his hands up

"Sounds like something a serial killer would say" she shot him a smile

"Hey I am just trying to make your journey unforgettable" he told her

"And you feel this town can do that" as she folded her arms across her chest "I don't know?" as she got into her car. Sam then walked up to the driver's window and he told her,

"If you change your mind I will be at the diner around 11am and if you don't show I guess this is goodbye Candace" as he walked towards his truck. Andy sat there and watched as JD drove away before she headed towards the motel he recommended.

Andy pulled up to the motel and got a room for the night. After she took her a shower she flicked through the channels on the T.V but her mind was elsewhere. This was something she never did but here she was somebody else and it felt good. She told herself that she would move on in the morning. Andy hit the alarm she had set on her phone. Morning had come too quickly for her as she took a shower. She walked back and forth in her room trying to find excuses that she could stay. She did not understand this feeling she was having that she did not want to leave.

"Hell could one extra day hurt?" she talked to herself "I can check out a couple of sites and then leave no harm no foul"

So it was decided after seeing the sites she would leave and continue her journey of finding herself. She looked at the time and saw it was 10:30 already so she headed out the door to check out. She put her stuff in the car and headed for the diner. Andy pulled up to the diner but she did not see JD's truck so she sat in her car for a moment before she got out. She went inside and decided to order breakfast and she told herself if he had not shown up by 11:15 she was gone then she saw the door open and in walked in JD. He headed to her table

"May I have a seat?" he asked

"Please do" she told him

"I'm surprised that you showed" he told her

"Well I had a talk with myself and we came to the conclusion you only live once" she said laughing

"I totally agree" as he stood up "so shall we?"

"we shall" as he grabbed her coat and they headed out the door.
