A angel in need

Chapter 17: Days lost

We were running,fleeing from our home,as we had been for the past days. My once new clothes were tattered and dirty,my skin covered in a fresh layer of grime,and my bright,brown eyes were dull from exuastion. And Jack wasn't doing any better,either.

I looked up towards Jack,who was driving the Jeep we were in. Apparently Jack could drive,even though he was under aged.

"Jack." I rasped,he looked at me,and I cleared my throught. "Jack,where are we going?" I asked quietly. He sighed and stopped the car.

"Were nearly to the border of Organ." He answered.

I rolled my eyes. "I asked,"Where are we going?" not "Where are we?" I said with annoyance.

He sighed and answered,"Were going to my grandfather in Nebraska. To get there,we have to cut through,Organ,to Idaho,to wyoming,then finally were at nebraska," He said with exuastion dripping from every word.

"Jack,you need to sleep." I stated firmly.

"But-"

"No."

"But-"

"No."

He sighed,"I promised to keep you safe,Kim." He said softly.

I sighed too. "And you are. But you can't do a very good job falling asleep at the wheel." I said,and by the look on his face,I knew I got him.

"Kim-"

I cut him off,"Just sleep,Jack. I'll stay awake a little longer,just to be sure."

He looked like he was about to argue,but the lack of sleep took him over. Soon the Jeep was filled with the sound of him snoring. I smiled a little at his peaceful face.

I'll bet your wondering how this happened. What caused this seemingly unexpected journey? And why? Well,it all started back at that day at the hospital...

...~Flashback~...

"Kim. Kim. Are you okay? Kim!" Jack yelled,shaking me. I grogily blinked my eyes open. I was on my back,proped up on Jack's knees. Jack's frantic brown eyes seemed to calm down when they met mine.

"Kim,thank God" He sighed. "I almost thought I'd have to bring you back to that hospital room!"

I rolled my eyes,"I'm not that weak,Jack. I could still take you down in a fight,Brewer!" I smirked.

He smirked back,"In your dreams,Crawford!"

"You keep counting on that." I retorted

Suddenly,I relized the position we where in. Subconcionsly,we both started to lean in,but we where interrupted by a loud cough to bring us back to reality.

"Reality..." My eyes widened,and I scrambled to my feet. Jack mimiced my decision.

"What's wrong,Kim?" Jack asked,concerned. The guys seemed worried too,my face must of given something away.

"My parent's..." I whispered

Jack smiled,"Don't worry,I'll protect you." He said while flexing.

At this point,I was too freked out to even roll my eyes at him. "No,you don't get it! My parents...even if they get caught,they have friends."

"What do you mean?" Milton asked.

I starred at Jack while answering,"It means,this time I'm not the only one in trouble..."
