Chapter 12

I had woken up from a dreamless sleep, at least there wasn't a dream at all, it would've been a nightmare. Shaundi wasn't besides me in my bed, this time. She hasn't been speaking to me a lot it's as if she's ignoring me, and not ignoring me at the same time. Maybe, she is off at place on what had happened the other night. Or that's how relationships are. I don't even know how relationships work. I got up and out of bed, I walked to the bathroom and stripped off of my boxers and went into my shower. To of course take a damn shower, after my shower, I got out of the shower, I wrapped a towel around my waist to cover myself. I walked out of the bathroom and went to the dresser to find some clothes.

I started to hear the door open, my heart was beating faster, dammit who wanted to see me half-naked? If an enemy was the one that opened my door and took the towel off my waist I'm fucking screwed. I looked behind me, hoping it wasn't an enemy.

"Dammit, Shaundi do you live here? You keep sneaking up on me." I was a little glad it wasn't an enemy.

"Do you want me to live here?" Shaundi asked.

"That's going a bit too far." I said.

"I know." Shaundi said, while walking up to me.

"Can I get dressed?" I asked.

"I've seen you naked before, it's not like you have anything to hide."

"I know, I just don't want anyone coming to the penthouse to see me dressing up while you're right in front of me." I replied.

"Alright.. I'll be next to the elevator if you need me." Shaundi said, while leaving my room, and closing my door.

I grabbed a new pair of boxers and started putting it on, I then got dressed into Black button-up plaid shirt and grey denim pants. Of course, same boots. I opened the door and, walked out of my room.

"Where are we going?" Shaundi asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I mean, you are dressed nice. I assumed we were going somewhere."

"Thanks..." I said, sarcastically.

"What do we do now?" Shaundi asked.

"I obviously don't want to do anything today. So want to go somewhere? Before anyone gets here."

"I don't know where to go." Shaundi replied.

"Then we'll just go for a drive, until we find a place, or a thing to do." I said.

"Alright."

"Let me get my car keys, stay here, Shaundi."

I walked into my room, I was looking for my car keys on the bedside table. I couldn't find it. I decided to go in my kitchen and look for my car keys. Once, I got into my kitchen I saw my keys on the counter I grabbed the keys, and walked back to where Shaundi is.

"Where were the keys?" Shaundi asked, while we were walking inside the elevator.

"In the kitchen." I said, while pressing the down button.

"Dumbass." Shaundi replied.

"I know." I said, truthfully.

Once we reached the garage we got into my Hammerhead. I started to drive, I looked around to see what building caught my eye for Shaundi, and I to go in.

"How are you holding up?" I asked Shaundi.

"I'm doing fine." Shaundi answered.

"You're not awkward with me?"

"No."

"Alright, oops." I took a sharp turn and accidentally ran over a pedestrian.

"Nice going." Shaundi said to what had happened.

"I know, it's my pleasure to accidentally kill a person."

"No, you just can't drive a car right." Shaundi spoke the truth. The truth that I was scared of, and the truth is I can't drive worth shit. Hell, now I know where to go. But, it's a place where it brought memories. StillWater. (A/N Tell me if I spelled it wrong. *ashamed of self*)

"Shaundi, we're going to be in this car for a long time. So relax, we're probably going to get to our destination in a few hours." I said.

"Okay?" Shaundi was very unsure of where we were going.

I chuckled a bit. Hopefully, I didn't sound like those psychotic rapists.

It took us a good 5 to 6 hours to get to StillWater, Shaundi fell asleep, and I drove up to Purgatory.

"Wake up." I said, softly.

She woke up with a surprised look on her face.

"Is this a dream?" Shaundi asked.

"Yes, it's a dream." I said back, I wanted to mess with her.

"Really?"

"Fuck no." I replied.

"So what do we do here?" Shaundi asked.

"I don't know, I don't want to go back to Steelport after that damn long drive. We'll stay here for a couple of days. Then, we'll go back. Hopefully, nobody dies with me gone." I answered.

"Okay." Shaundi agreed with my plan, I think.

Shaundi, and I got out of my car and walked up to Purgatory, I opened the door to Purgatory, damn it looked exactly looked how it was before. It took me a trip back to memory lane.

"So what do here?" Shaundi asked.

"I don't know, kick back relax." I answered. I continued, "Anyways, I'm going to sleep, my ass hurts from driving for so long."

"Alright, I'll join you, soon. I'll stay here for a little." Shaundi replied, while taking her phone out and sat on the couch.

"Okay." I started walking to what use to be my bedroom. Loads of happiness came over me. I was at "home" and I missed it. I took my clothes off and the remaining clothes I had on was grey boxers. I laid down on my bed, I missed how my bed felt. I slowly fell asleep and darkness fell upon me.
