Feeling the light on her face, Milo's sleep was disrupted. Her eyes slowly began to open. She groaned and sat up. Realising that Jahseh was still driving, Milo raised her brows in shock.
"You're still awake?"
Jahseh nodded, hand still gripping the steering wheel. The roads appeared slightly more clear. This showed Milo that they were in a more secluded area. "Are we there yet" she softly asked, not wanting to disturb him too much."Yeah, we here kinda. We've just gotta pull through this place." he explained. The journey was extremely draining for Jahseh. His body was filled with 100 cups of coffee and red bull cans just so he could stay awake, and he was barely doing that.
His body felt heavy, along with this eyes. His grip on the steering wheel grew loose, unable to grip onto it too long. Milo could see the exhaustion in his face, his low eyes and prominent dark circles. He appeared to be so tired that Milo was afraid to ask too many questions, knowing how irritable he can be when he's slightly sleepy.
It felt like they had been in this same car for days, it was hard not to question if all of this was worth it. But Jahseh knew it was. He had to do what he was told or his life could be at stake.
Milo shut her eyes for a little bit, this bit turned into 15 minutes. By the time her eyes had opened, it seemed as if they had been parked in front of a building. Jahseh opened the car door, stepping outside.
He reached for Milo's car door. She exited the car and breathed out, taking an exhale of the air she was surrounded by. Jahseh hurriedly grabbed her hand, pulling her forward taking the lead.
The further they walked the more fearful Milo became. The whole scenario began to dwell on her, she started to realise exactly what it was she was getting herself into. This whole situation just began to feel off, it was as if she was blinded by something so she wouldn't be able to focus on the severity of this whole situation.
It all began to connect in her mind. The grip Jahseh had on her wrist tightened when he realised she was becoming hesitant. "Jah-" "Milo, stop acting up. Let's go." he commanded, proceeding to yank her further.
"Jahseh let go!" Milo pulled her arm back, stopping Jahseh in his tracks. "Fuck is wrong with you?" he spat. "I don't wanna fucking go. You're using me to save yo ass. You pretend like you care but you don't. You wouldn't bring me here if you did, you wouldn't do this to me if you did."
