"I and thought that sleeping in a car was uncomfortable!" I muttered to myself.
"You might want to stretch out before we pack up" Gray suggested "if you don't now, you'll be sore for pretty much the rest of the day."
"Good to know." I said while bending to touch my toes. Hmmm that did feel better; I wondered how many times he had slept in a tent like this. When we were done stretching, we started to put away the tent. After we finished I rested against the blue door of the Lexus, "so when are we leaving?" I asked
"You mean when am I leaving. It's a long walk and I think that it be better if only I went." He gave me a look that told me that he didn't want me to argue with him. So I just nodded and sat on the ground, he grabbed his backpack from the car and started off down the road. I sat there watching him until I could only see a speck, then I flopped down on the damp grass and looked up at the sky, shielding my eyes from the sun. It was surprisingly warm for this time of day, so I slipped off my sweater leaving me in only a purple tank top and jeans. I noted that this would be a good time to write a bit for my book so I walked up the car and shuffled through the various boxes until I found the one I was looking for, I pulled a chain from my neck and slipped off the key. I thought that would be the safest place for the key would be a place where I could see it at all times, I always wore the necklace, the only times I ever took it off was when I went swimming, took a shower, those kinds of situations. I picked up the book from the case, spread my sweater on the ground and started to write.
It must have been a good half hour before I looked up from my page, Gray couldn't be that much longer, I was giving him an estimate of maybe another 30 minutes. White clouds where started to dot the clear sky, I lay on my back trying to find shapes in the clouds, I did this a lot with Wendy back home. Wendy. I shot straight up. I forgot to say goodbye to Wendy! Shit! She would be heartbroken, I would have to call home and apologize, I just hoped that I could get through; if dad picked up he wouldn't let me talk to her. Guilt was tearing me up inside. "I feel like crap." I muttered out loud, putting my face in my hands.
"You sure don't look like crap sweetheart!" my head whipped up, I was not expecting a response to my mumblings. I quickly placed my book into its case and stood up, "hello." I greeted cautiously.
Standing by a black truck were two men, early 20's I guessed. One was tall and lanky, with blonde hair dyed black; the other was also tall but a little stockier, with brown hair and sunglasses. My gut that was practically screaming 'Danger! Danger! Get away now!' but where was I going to go? The car wasn't going anywhere and if I ran, these men could easily catch up. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place, what was I going to do? I decided to see if I could make them leave.
"Can I help you?" I asked,
"Actually-"he stated rather cheerily "we thought that maybe we could help you! We saw your car pulled over and thought you might be having a spot of car trouble." My stomach unclenched, they only wanted to help me, I was worried over nothing. But my state of calm was taken away when he added:
"But it will come at a price, and we like to be paid in advance, don't we Jake?" he looked at his buddy who nodded silently, an upsetting smirk painted on his face.
My eyes widened as they ventured closer, I started to back up. But as I did, I tripped over a rock and landed on my back. They wasted no time, I was immediately hauled up to my feet by the man called Jake, I tried to twist out of his grasp, but he was too strong. The other man walked up to me and held up my chin so I was face to face with him, my nose crinkled, his breath smelled of some kind of alcohol. "Come on honey! Don't be like that; we can give you a good time if you just let us! you can't be having very much fun all by yourself."
"Actually I came here with my boyfriend." It was a stretch of the truth, but I figured a boyfriend would be more intimidating them just a friend.
His mouth was getting much too close to mine. "Really. Then where is this so called boyfriend of yours blondie?"
"Right behind you." a voice said, Black hair turned around, only to get a face full of Gray's fist; Jake dropped me and threw a punch towards Gray, who blocked it by grabbing the guy's wrist and flipping him over his shoulder. the poor guy had the wind knocked out of him, Gray put a foot over his chest and said,
"You take your buddy and leave us alone, understand?" the man could only wheeze, but Gray took it as a yes. When Jake caught his breath, he lugged his friend to their truck and drove off.
I stared at Gray in awe, "Thank you! You saved me big time! Where did you learn to fight like that?"
"An old friend."His face clouded over, but it soon returned back to normal and he shrugged like it was no big deal "and your welcome for the saving, you do realize that's the second time right?"
"I'm kind of attack prone."
"Ya, I've noticed. I mean, I'm your boyfriend arn't I?" he gave me a teasing look.
"It seemed like a good idea!" I reasoned, "I thought it might stop them." He laughed,
"It's okay! It was a good idea, you don't have to defend yourself, your acting like a child who just got scolded for stealing a cookie." I smiled, "anyway, I got a guy on the way to fix the car, so let's just chill for a bit okay?"
"Okay"
We spent a while just sitting quietly, pointing out random wildlife that we happened to see, it was nice. When the mechanic showed up he and Gray went up to look under the hood, it turned out that something managed to find its way in there, clogging something. They removed it and we were all set to leave again, I grabbed the box with my book in it and we continued our journey. After what I had been through I found I was tired and ended up falling asleep again. But when I awoke, Gray was staring at the road and not at me.
