Get Away

Chapter 3

By the time I wake up again it's 5 and the sun is beginning to set. As I sit up a bit my back cracks and my whole body aches. Right across from me man bun guy is sitting with his head back and arms across his chest with eyes closed. He still looked grumpy when he slept.

I look at my phone again and I have a missed call from my best friend Alyssa and a few texts from people, including my dad. I was a little nervous to see what he had to say, I didn't want him to be too mad or upset.
When a read his text all it said was 'thanks for the money. Have fun.' Thats it.
I threw my phone in my bag and let a tear drip down my face. Soon that tear turned into hundreds. He didn't care about me and that money is probably going to be used for drugs and alcohol.

As I wiped away my tears I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked to my left and saw man bun guy with a tissue in his hand. I took it nervously and muttered a thanks. He nodded then leaned back against the window and put his headphones back in.
That was nice of him even though he looked miserable while doing it. I just need to forget about my dad for right now, I'm finally doing something for myself and I need to enjoy this experience.

Just as I finished crying we stopped at another bus stop/ rest stop. I guess we are in Pennsylvania now. I grabbed my bag and made sure I had my ticket and headed off the bus. I was going to say thank you again to man bun guy but I couldn't find him.
I grabbed my suitcase from under the bus and transferred it to the new bus I was assigned to then walked inside the building to eat my sub and use the rest room. Apparently I have a really small bladder.
I used the bathroom, which was not something I would like to experience again, then went back outside to sit at a bench. It's a really bright and sunny outside, its almost a perfect day.

Just like clock work creepy Ryan sat down next to me with that creepy smile on his face.
"You switching buses?" He asked scooting closer to me.
"Yeah" I said grabbing my things as I got up. As I turned my back towards him he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back which made me drop my things. I turned around and looked down at him appalled.
"Have a seat." He said angrily. I tried to pull my arm out of his grip but he was just too strong. Just as I began to panic Ryan was on the ground with a bloody nose.
I turn around and see man bun guy shaking out his hand and shaking his head.
"Are you ok?" He asked with a husky tone and a British accent which isn't something you normally hear around here.
"Uh yea.. I'm fine. Thanks." I said backing up away from him. Personally I hate violence and it scares me a little. I practically ran back to the bus and found a seat to sit in. Luckily this bus doesn't look too crowded and no sight of creepy Ryan.
Just with my luck though, man bun guy comes on the bus and sits in the seats across from mine. I sighed and folded my arms across my chest as I looked out the window waiting for the bus to leave.

"I was trying to help you out." I heard a voice say. I turned my head and saw man bun guy staring at me waiting for me to reply.

"I appreciate it." I said sticking my hand out to introduce myself. I wanted to know what his name was so I could stop calling him man bun guy, it was getting a bit annoying.
"I'm Sage." I said and he took my hand reluctantly and shook it.
"Harry Styles."
