i wake up and see a sign that says 'welcome
to indiana' i look over at vinnie.
"YOU REALLY DROVE TO INDIANA" i exclaim in excitement. "yes thought it might be nice" vinnie looked over at me and laughed.
"how'd you sleep?" he asks. "it was okay car sleeps aren't always the best" i say. "well we're probably gonna drive for about another hour then we'll find a motel to stop at" vinnie explains to me.
"okay well i'll be over here asleep" i lay back down and get comfortable again to go to sleep.

"hey wake up i just got us a motel room" vinnie shakes my shoulder a bit. i open my eyes, i see it's dark out. "i'll get your stuff off and bring it inside, you go inside right now and sleep my love" he kisses my forehead, and i smile.
i get off the car and make my way into the motel room. i take my shoes off and lay down on the bed. i get adjusted.
a couple of minutes go by then i feel vinnie come and lay next to me. i turn to face him. he moves my hair behind my ear.
"how'd you like driving" i say. "hated it, but also loved it because you were there" he smiles. i role my eyes, he's always a flirt.
"how long are we gonna stay here for?" i ask. "about a week, then we're going to the next place" vinnie tells me. "do you think one day me and you will have our happy ending, when we'll finally have to stop running" i ask vinnie.
"i know you hate it, but i'll have to run for the rest of my life, one day you're going to have to leave me and i'll still be here on the run" he says.
i don't want to think about ever having to leave him, i don't ever want that it's like he has no hope in a future for himself. one day we'll run out of money then what we'll we do rob a band like he did, make bad decisions like he did?
"i know you don't want to think about that, how about we get some sleep" he suggests. "yeah" i respond.
++
i wake up to vinnie not by my side. i get up and see vinnie walk out of the bathroom. "i thought you left" i tell him. "now why would i leave you, maybe to go get food but never actually leave you" he tells me.
he jumps onto the bed next to me. "well good morning beautiful" he smiles. "good morning vincent" i laugh.
"so do you want to go look around town today and go find breakfast?" he asks. "yes" i smile back.
"okay well let's go" he gets up off the bed. "i'm not even ready though" i say. "okay fine i'll let you get ready then we'll go" he tells me.
he gives me a kiss on my forehead before i get up.
++
i finish getting ready and i go meet vinnie in the car.
"where are we gonna eat?" i ask. "i don't know i guess we can drive around town and look for restaurants or something" he tells me. "okay"
we drive around town listening to music. the town looks really nice, there are lots of people out, walking dogs kids riding bikes, some people with skateboards, old couples sitting on benches.
"this town looks really nice" vinnie tells me. "yeah i was just thinking that" i tell him.
"look there's a little coffee and breakfast restaurant right there" i point out. "okay well let's go" bonnie parks the car and we both get off.
he holds my hand as we walk into the restaurant. when we open the door it makes a little ding like all doors do.
"how many" this girl asks us as she's about to gran menus. "uhh two please" vinnie says. "okay follow me" she says.
me and vinnie follow her to a little booth table by the window. there's a family of four on one side and an old couple on the other.
i sit down then vinnie sits across from me. the waitress gets out a little notebook, "okay and what would y'all like to drink?" she asks.
"i'll take a sweet tea" i say. "And for you?" she looks over at vinnie, "a water please" he says. she finished writing, "okay i'll be back out with your drinks shortly" she smiles then walks away.
i look at the menu and began reading through it. "i think i'll get waffles, with bacon and sausage" i tell vinnie. "okay i think i'll just get the same thing" hw says.
"i've always liked waffles over pancakes" i tell vinnie. "i've always preferred that too" he laughs. i keep seeing the elderly couple staring at me and making glances, i look away so it looks like i can't see them.
the waitress comes back and gives us our drinks, "are y'all ready to order?" she asks, "yes" i say, "okay now what would you like" she asks, "i'll take waffles with bacon and instead of eggs put sausage" i tell her, "okay, and for you?" she looks over at vinnie after she finishes writing my order down. "ill take the same thing" he says.
"okay, i'll have that out in a little bit, let me grab these menus from you" she says. she takes our menus then walks away.
"so maybe we should" vinnie starts to say the gets cut off by someone tapping his shoulder. it was this man, "hello" the man says from the booth behind him. his wife just keeps her eyes on me.
"hi?" vinnie says confused. "your girlfriend here, my wife thinks she knows her" he tells vinnie then looks over at me, vinnie looks at me too, confused.
"sorry you just look very familiar" the lady says, "uhh what's your name hun?" she asks. "um kyra" i say. "is your mother perhaps abby?" she says my moms name.
omg. how does she know, "um no i'm sorry i think your thinking of someone else" i tell her quickly. "oh i'm so sorry you just look like her daughter kyra, i knew abby since she was little, and her daughter kyra i remember seeing her when she was about 10 years, it's been a long time" she tells me.
"oh it's fine, yeah sometimes people look a lot like others" i tell her. "yeah it's just a weird coincidence that your name is also kyra" she laughs. "yeah it is" i laugh as well. "well the reason i was thinking of them like i said it's been a long time, abby recently called me telling me kyra was missing and that if i heard anything to let her know" she explains.
i realize we can't stay here for a whole week my a couple of days but she might catch on and not believe me.
"omg i'm so sorry well know that i know i'll be sure to keep a look out too" i tell the lady, "oh and my name is cecelia" she tells me. she takes a long pause just staring at me some more, "well hope you two have a wonderful day" they tell us before getting up and leaving.
once i see them completely leave i look at vinnie, "we can't stay here for a whole week" i tell him, "why not?" he asks, "my mom is abby and i remember that lady once she said her name i remember she used to come by every Christmas and bring gifts" i explain everything to him.
"oh fuck so that means she knows and she might not believe you, you literally have the same name and everything it won't be just a coincidence to her" he says.
"how about we stay here for three days instead, we can check out earlier" vinnie says. "yeah just three days then we need to be back on the road" i tell him.
the waitress comes with out food. "here y'all go" she puts both of our plates down, if you need anything else just let me know" she says before smiling and waking away.
me and vinnie start eating and talking about normal things again, i still keep thinking about what if they call the police right now and they find us.
