Riding down the interstate, late at night. Only a few other cars were
driving along side them. Other than that, they were all alone. The radio
was on, she was not sure what song it was. He was talking as she drifted
into sleep, dreaming about what was to come, what would happened when they
returned.
He Slammed on the brakes, it woke her up immediately. Just three miles from the rest stop, he said " I tried to be what I'm not, so could you please collect your things." He did not even give her a second look as he opend the trunk with the small button on the lower part of the door. "I don't want to be cold, I don't want to be cruel, I just got to find more than what's happening with you, and if you'd open up the door." As she opened the door, he said. " While you were sleeping, I was listening to the radio wondering what you're dreaming, when it came to mind that I didn't care.
She stepped out onto the cold, dark pavement of the road. It was damp, and it smelled like there would be more rain falling soon.. He did not, or would not, look at her. She didn't know what to say, even if she had something to say she probably would not be able to say it. Her mouth was dry, and she felt like something just went horribly wrong.
The light was shining from the radio, she could barely see his face. He knew all the words she never had said, he knew she did not understand why he as going to leave her in an unfamiliar place alone. He did not know why he was doing it either, how could he explain? " She made her way to the back and took her backpack and small, green, army bag out of the trunk. She walked back to the open door. "While you were sleeping." was all he said.
She shut the door, and he drove away. He never looked back. She stood, in the cold, waiting, waiting for him to change his mind, for him to come back. He never did. She waited about a half an hour for him to return, after that, she began walking. It was frightening walking alone on the interstate in an unfamiliar place, with unfamiliar people, and darkness surrounding you, with the exception of the headlights of a large semi-truck or car, it was pitch black. She tried her hardest to follow the white line on the ground in front of her, it would at least keep her from walking into the middle of the road.
She walked on and on, what felt like forever, when she came to the rest stop, finally. It had a hotel and restaurant. It looked as though the restaurant was open all night. She walked inside, relieved to be out of the cold and be around people again. She walked to the counter and sat down, the waitress asked for her order, "Diet coke, please, with no ice." "Of course, dear." The older waitress replied. She was about mid-fourties with blonde hair tied in a bun. She had a pink waitress's uniform on with a white apron attached to the front. She brought the girl the diet coke, with no ice. She stood there for a moment, studying the girl.
She was young, about 18 or 19. Not too tall, about five-two. She had just over shoulder length, brown hair, and blue-gray eyes. She looked cold, he cheeks were rosy from the cold and she looked very tired. The girl looked up at the woman, "Yes?" "Nothing, dear." "Are you sure?" The girl said, raising her right eyebrow. "Well, are you all right? Do you need a phone or a place to stay?" "I'm alright." She replied. "I just made a dumb mistake, that's all." "You sure you don't want the phone?" "Well.actually, I think I do."
The woman brought her a cordless phone. She dialed something and waited for someone on the other end to pick up. "Hey, Benji?...Yeah.I need a ride.I was, he left.right out on the highway.yeah,.I don't know, hold on." She put the phone down from her ear and looked at the waitress, "Where am I ?" "Newton" "Thanks." She held the phone back up to her ear, "Newton.yeah, that's right.Benji, you're the best.alright, later." She handed the phone back to the waitress, "Thanks, I'm going to go wait outside.
I know what you are all thinking."nothing to do with RE." Well, If you didn't notice, I didn't mention any names! It has plenty to do with RE,
