An hour later the pink, purple, and blonde was brighter then ever and I was ready to go get back on the road. But when I got outside my car was no longer in the parking spot I left it in. My eyes widen as I run back inside to the store once again to find Emily. She smiled when she saw me and complimented me on my hair but the only thing on my mind right now was my car.
"Emily where is my car?" I asked her as calmly as I could manage. She chuckled at my wild expression and led me to a back room.
"Paul had to take it to the shop by my house. He said something about the engine being died. Anyways all your things are in my truck and we can leave now if you'd like," she said with the same sweet smile as before. I nodded and followed her to a rusty red truck. I climbed in to see my things in the second row. I smiled when I saw my purse and jar of money still so I knew I could trust these people...for now anyways. I reached for my phone and saw I missed another call from Blake. I listened to the messege as Emily took me to her house.
"Hey guess where I am this week! Go ahead guess. Well if you guessed Beverly Hills then your right! I'm sitting on the beach when I saw this chick who looked just like you but she had no curves. Anyways I just wanted to say I miss you sis and I hope your during good. Love ya!"
I closed the phone quietly and looked out at the woods. My eyes were drooping from the lack of sleep and I couldn't keep my head up for more then a few seconds. Before I knew it I was passed out on the window.
When I woke up I was laying in a comfy twin bed with all my things piled up in the corner. I got up and stretched and pulled my hair up before going to find Emily. But I didn't instead I found Paul eating a steak at the kitchen table.
"Hey hows the car?" I asked qorried he wasn't able to fix it and by the look on his face I was right.
"The engine died so I'm trying to look for a new one but until then your stuck here...I'm sorry," he had so much compassion in his eyes I almost couldn't look away but I did. I nodded and looked around at the kitchen. It was yellow and small but cozy and warm. I sat down by Paul and decided that I would thank Emily for her letting me stay but I would just shack up in a hotel.
"Why the colorful hair?" Paul asked with a genuine smile on his face. I shook my head and smiled a little.
"Its my way of expressing myself...you know art," I shrugged my shoulders decideding not to go any farther.
"Ah explains the clothes and the pericings and the bags with pink elephants on them," he said with a sparkle in his eye. I rolled my eyes and shrugged my shoulders.
"I think pink elephants are fucking adorable," I told him as I stuck my tounge out at him. He busted off laughing and slid his steak over to me but I declined.
"I'm a vegan," I told him and thats when his mouth dropped. I laughed and put my head in my hands.
"That means you don't wat much huh? Is that why your so skinny?" He asked once he composed himself. I shook my head laughing.
"I eat tons trust me just not meat, chicken, fish, and much more," I winked at him as I saw headlights pull up outside. I had no clue it was dark still. I looked at the clock to see it was nine at night.
"You were knocked out for an entire day," he told me when he saw my confused expression. I nodded and stood up when Emily came inside.
"Hey your awake," she winked at me when she saw us both sitting together.
"Yeah I wanted to say thank you and that I'd just go to a hotel until the car is fixed," I told her in my most piolet voice I could manage. She laughed at me and shook her head.
"I will not have one of the im-...one of Pauls friends stay in a hotel," she winked at me and excited the kitchen with who I assumed was her husband.
"Well that went well," I sighed as I sat back down at the kitchen table.
"Well..you could stay at my place if you don't want to stay here. It does get extremly crowded here," he said jsut in time for fifteen girls and boys to walk in the door. I nodded in offer and reliazed what I did once it was to late. I was going to stay with a guy I never met before and had no clue about.
