Mina jolted awake in a cold sweat. The room was dark and she could hear light breathing, unlike the heavy panting she was doing. She turned on the lamp by her beside and looked towards her desk. Teague was in the chair, feet on the desk, peacefully sleeping. Mina walked towards him. His features were softened as he slept, nothing like the beast she'd seen in her dreams. She sat on the carpet and rested her head against the arm of the chair and softly cried. Within minutes, Teague's eyes opened and he looked down at Mina's crying form beside him. He got out of the chair and sat next to her on the ground and held her. He slowly rocked her back and forth in his arms, playing with her hair, trying to ease her emotions. They sat on the floor like this for what seemed like forever. Mina's heart ached for him to love her, the way she did him. She wanted him to care for her and love her forever.

But she knew he never would consider her.

She rested her head in the crook of his neck and Teague was taken aback. He'd no idea what he was supposed to do to make her stop and with her so close to him, clutching onto him as if he was all that mattered, his thoughts were cloudy and he could barely think.

"Do you want to go for a drive?" Mina suggested, not removing her head from him.

Teague was surprised, but thankful, for this substitution of activity. "Sure."

Mina got up and grabbed the keys to Teague's car. "I'm driving." She rubbed at her eye.

"No, you're not-" Before he could finish, he looked at Mina's brown puppy-dog eyes, threatening to spill with tears at any moment.

"Uh I mean... let's go!" Teague said with false enthusiasm.

The two walked out and Mina stepped into the red sports car. She turned the key and the car roared in response.

"Where are we going?" Teague asked, stepping into the passenger's side.

"I don't know. We should get ice cream." Mina shrugged. She pressed her foot down gently on the brake and they drove off. Teague was secretly thankful she wasn't speeding, he did love this car, and his safety, after all. The rode they were driving on didn't have any other cars and looked a little unnerving. Surrounded by trees with a full moon above.

"So... why were you up so early?" Teague tried to ease his way onto the topic he wanted.

"Bad dream." Mina said sternly, keeping her eyes on the road.

"About...?" Teague stared at her with intensity.

"Nothing." The car sped up slightly.

"Well if it was nothing, you wouldn't have been crying-"

"I SAID it was nothing!" Mina shouted, looking at Teague.

"Hey, hey, hey keep your eyes on the road, love!" Teague gestured towards the dark road ahead.

"Love? Love?!" Mina pounded on the steering wheel, moving the car to the left. "You have NO right to call me that!" She screamed.

"Okay, okay. Just drive!" His hands shook. She was now driving 20 miles above the speed limit and dangerously drifting towards the side.

"Don't tell me what to do!"

Teague grabbed the steering wheel. "Slow down! Slow down!"

Mina smacked him and and sharply turned the wheel, crashing the car into a group of trees. For a moment all Mina could was a slight ringing in her ears. She picked little bits of glass out of her arm and scolded. "Look what you did, Teague."

Silence.

"Teague?"

Noooooo! My baby!

Whyyyyyy did I write this? Whyyyy!?

Either way, remember to F&F R&R!
