Jess skulked in a diner in the middle of nowhere, he knew he was nearly in
New York, but his hunger was too great for him to bear any longer. He sat
in a booth, alone, reading one of his favorite books. He looked up to see a
girl walking into the diner, she was dressed in a simple jeans and t-shirt
combo, with a leather jacket on. She didn't look like she had anywhere to
go, she grabbed a coffee and walked out. Jess, intrigued by the girl,
followed her out of the diner. She climbed into a black eclipse and revved
the roaring engine.
"You're gonna break that thing y'know" Jess commented. She just looked up at him and then back at the gauges.
"I don't need your advice." She spoke.
"Hey, if it's anyone who doesn't give advice... it's me." He laughed. She smiled and then got out of the car. Raye only came up to about Jess's eyes, she had to look up to stare into them.
"What do you want..." She paused as he interjected.
"Jess."
"Well, Jess, what is it that you want?" She asked him. He looked her in the eyes and just stared, his love for Rory still tugged at him, but this girl was so much different than anyone he had ever met. Not only was she out driving at 2am, but also she was alone, and she really didn't care. "Look, I have to go, so if you're just gonna waste my time..." She started to get back into the car.
"Wait." He pulled her by the arm.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" She spoke out. She tried to pull her arm away from his grip. He turned her to face him, and kissed her. He let go of her arm as she eased up between the car and him. Her fingers laced within his, and they stood alone, kissing in the middle of the night. Raye's watch began to beep; it was nearly time to go to work. "Shit." She cursed. "This was nice, but I have to go."
"Wait, where are you going?" Jess asked.
"I gotta be in New York." She jumped into her car and shifted into gear, leaving Jess in the dust.
"Obviously." He muttered. He got into his old beater and made his slow journey to New York, while the girl was speeding off into the sunrise. This was only the second time someone had run away from him, he was so used to running away from someone.
