Abby opened her eyes, she looked around. It took her a few seconds to remember she was in the car still on the side of the road. Abby scanned with her eyes the sun was rising so it must be pretty early, she thought to herself.
All of a sudden she remembered last night. The kiss? What had happened? Abby touched her fingers to her lips. Was it real? She looked around and saw Randy asleep sitting up right in the passenger chair.
Abby tried to think back to the night before, she gone and laid down in the back seat because she was sick of Randy and trying to find a way to get the car working. When Randy had started calling her name she'd closed her eyes trying to sleep.
Maybe she had fallen asleep and she'd dreamed that Randy had kissed her surely she would remember something like a kiss if she'd been awake. As Abby sat there still thinking it over she heard a car beeping its horn.
Abby opened the door and got out of the car, coming down the road was another car. Abby began to wave at it and watched as it pulled over.
"Car trouble?" the driver asked out his window.
"Yeah, we ran out of gas last night and there's no reception out here." Abby explained.
Randy opened his eyes his neck was so stiff he could barely move it, well he expected as much from trying to sleep sitting up. Truth was he hadn't slept at all he'd just dosed off every few minutes and woke up again soon after.
Randy looked outside and saw Abby talking to someone in a car he smiled before getting out of the car and walking over to where she was standing.
"Well I ain't in no hurry I'll gladly give you a ride back to the gas station." The driver said.
"That's great thankyou." Randy answered causing Abby to jump she hadn't realised he'd come and stood behind her.
Abby stared at Randy she was still trying to work out whether that kiss had happened or not. She was pulled out of her day dream by the driver asking if she was ready.
Abby turned around and went to get into the car. As Abby sat in the car she heard the back door open and watched as Randy got in as well.
"I didn't know I'd be giving both of you a ride?" the driver questioned.
"Randy I thought you'd wait with the car." Abby said.
"Abby I ain't about to let you ride off with some guy we don't know plus there's room to fit five people in this car I don't think it's going to kill anyone to add another person." Randy said sitting back into the seat.
The car was silent for a minute before the guy started the engine and began to drive.
They drove in silence but Abby kept sneaking glances at Randy he was so stubborn, now what if something happened to the car. But as she turned back around and looked at the guy driving she was a tiny bit thankful Randy had come this guy looked freaky and now that Abby thought about it had been very eager to get Abby alone.
After a full hour of silence they pulled into the gas station and Abby was grateful to get out of that car. She walked into the station to talk to someone and watched as Randy thanked the man and took a seat and waited.
Randy sat at a small table around the corner of the station. He was thinking about Abby and last night. She hadn't said anything about them kissing; maybe she was asleep when it happened she didn't even move after it.
Randy watched as Abby came and sat down next to him with two bottles of water and two hot dogs. "Thanks." Randy said before sculling the bottle of water down.
"They said they'd get the gas ready and then they'd be able to drive us back." Abby said before taking a bite out of her hot dog.
There was a silence between them as Abby finished her hot dog, then Abby's phone began ringing.
"Hello?" Abby said the caller ID said unknown number.
"Hey Abby it's Dave."
"Hey Dave, what's up?" Abby said.
"Oh nothing just wondering where the hell you and Randy are?" Dave said rasing his voice.
"Well it seems Randy thought it would be an adventure to drive cross county on a car that was empty. We've been stranded on the side of the road all night." Abby said. "Oh Dave hold on here talk to Randy." Abby passed the phone to Randy as the shop assistant waved her over.
"Hey man can you let someone know we may be a bit late." Randy said into the phone.
"Yeah sure is what Abby said true you've been stuck on the whole night?"
"Yeah but it wasn't so bad." Randy said remembering the kiss. "Plus it looks like we'll be getting on the road again soon."
"Did something happen between you two?" Dave asked.
Randy looked to see where Abby had gone she was still talking. "Randy are you there?" Dave asked.
"Yeah man I'm here. And I'm going to tell you something but don't mention it to Abby okay?"
"Alright what is it?"
"I kissed her last night." Randy said.
Dave couldn't help but smile he knew there was something between the two they just needed a push to see it.
"Hate to break it to you man but I'd think she'd know if you kissed her."
"That's the thing she hasn't said a word about it I think she was asleep."
"Well is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Dave asked the smile on his face still there.
"I don't know I'll talk to you when we get there okay?" Randy said before hanging up.
He watched as Abby shook hands with the guy before coming over and telling Randy they were ready to go.
"Listen Abby we can't afford to stop again so I want you tog o buy us another couple bottles of water and some food." Randy said. He couldn't help but laugh as Abby stood p straight and saluted him before mock marching into the store.
Abby came out of the shop her arms filled with bottles of water, a bag of chips and she had gotten herself another hot dog. She noticed Randy didn't eat the first one so she didn't bother getting him another. But she loved them they had some weird flavour to them that Abby couldn't put her finger on.
Hours Later
They had been driving for over six hours now; neither had spoken since they'd started. Randy looked at Abby and decided to break the silence.
"Remember when we were kids, and we use to go on those long drives all over the place you use to love the car rides. You always use to say it felt like…"
"Like I was being freed." Randy smiled as Abby finished off his sentence for him.
"I thought for sure your mum was going to kill me the day we came back from the beach and I stuck my head out the window." Abby said with a laugh.
"Oh yeah me too and then I got in trouble for telling you to do it." Randy said joining in laughing.
Abby felt a weird feeling in her stomach but put it out of her mind. "Hey now, you got me in trouble too." Abby said.
"Oh yeah, like when?" Randy asked.
"Okay what about when we wanted to make dinner and soup was the only thing we knew how to cook so we put three cans of soup in the microwave. You blamed the whole thing on me saying I was the one who said you didn't need to put it in a bowl first." Abby said.
"You know there are still soup stains on the roof from that." Randy said laughing. He looked over at Abby she'd gone quite.
"Abby what wrong?" Randy asked trying to look into her face.
Abby looked up at Randy, but she soon became dizzy she put her head down in her hands. Randy pulled the car over and watched as Abby opened the door and fell out of the car before throwing up.
Randy got out of the car and went over to Abby, she looked terrible. He lifted her hair out of her face and rubbed her back as she threw up again. He put his hand on her neck and felt how hot she was.
He quickly ran back to the car and grabbed one of his shirts and a bottle of water and drenched the shirt in water before rolling it up and putting it on Abby's neck.
After awhile Abby sat up straight, Randy didn't think it was possible but Abby looked worse. It was only another five seconds before Abby was bent back over throwing up again.
Randy continued to sit with Abby and told her it was okay. Abby finally sat up straight this time not bending back over she took a sip of water that Randy offered her.
Randy helped Abby stand up and sat her back in the car. He walked around the back and found a bag. He got in the drivers side and handed her the bag.
"Are you right if we keep driving? I think you need to see a doctor." Randy said.
Abby just nodded her head before putting it back against the head rest and closed her eyes.
Randy sped off he noticed there turn off and told Abby that they were here and that he was going to find a hospital. Abby went to answer but instead put her head in the bag.
Randy pulled into the hospital and went around and carried Abby into the emergency room.
A nurse walked over and asked what was wrong; Randy explained she hadn't stopped throwing up. The nurse took the bag Abby was holding and handed her a small container and then she made Randy go and sit down while they looked Abby over.
For the first time in a long time Randy was worried about Abby and praying that she was okay.
