Temptation: Nate Maloley Fanfiction

Chapter 15

The sound of the road going by was the only noise I could hear. I looked at Briley, who mouthed something to me.

"what?" I asked.

"I said that we made it. We got out. Im not sure how much you remember, but you passed out almost half way to the car." we did what? what should I remember? The sound of glass shattering replayed in my head, but no image went along with it.

Briley got off the freeway as soon as we came up on a lake. A lake... "once you come up on a lake, youre safe to stop. We'll meet you there."

"oh my god, Nate!" i suddenly remember.

"yeah, he'll meet us here, I promise.... Just wait." she gave me one of her most geniune smiles as she parked the car. I watched her walk to the edge of the water. "make yourself comfortable" she said while sitting down, "this might take a while".

She took her shoes off and let her toes touch the water, while i leaned against the car. The growling of my stomach finally came to my attention, realizing how hungry i was. It's been almost 2 days since ive eaten anything and i havent even noticed under our circumstance.

"Hey Briley, do you think there's any food in the car?" i asked, trying to look inside.

"Maybe Nate brought something. Check" she smiled. I opened the trunk, only to find a flashlight, screwdriver, and 50 cents. I then checked the backseat, but still came up empty. The last thing to check was the glovebox. As soon as i opened it, two cheeseburgers came to light. I squealed in excitement, closing the door and tossing one to Briley. I sat on the hood of the car and savored every bite.

The sun was beginning to set and Sammy and Nate still haven't come. A wave of lonliness came over me and i wrapped my arms around my knees. chills covered my arms as i sat there in anticipation.

"are they coming?" I asked as if Briley knew the answer.

"come sit with me" she said, patting a seat next to her.

"I'm scared" I said as darkness overwhelmed us. She wrapped her arm around my shoulder.

"They'll come". We waited in silence, both consumed in our own thoughts.
