Forever

~9~

I get out of the shower and change into the black jeans and gray tank top I snagged from my house when we stopped by there for a minute before coming here. I pull my hair into a ponytail then yank on my black boots and gun/ knife holster that goes around my thigh.

I walk out of the room putting one pistol and three knives in it and look up at Jason as I move out.

"Well damn." He mutters and I laugh.

"Alright, let's go." I say and we head out.

I climb into the passengers side and he takes drivers then he pulls out and we take off.

Darkness ascends on us soon and I start feeling tired.

"We got atleast 3 more hours. Go to sleep."

"No, you've been driving for ages, I'll take the wheel and you sleep."

"Don't fight me on this Skylar, you're obviously exhausted. Go to sleep, I'm not tired at all." He says continuing to drive. I sigh but nod.

"Ok for an hour, then wake me up."

"Sure." He responds and I pull my coat off and put it under my head as a pillow. I look over at him and he nods me on to sleeping and I shut my eyes and soon fall asleep.

I look over at her as I continue to drive and a smile comes to my face as she sleeps peacefully. I look back out the front window and continue driving. Up ahead I curse seeing the four SUV cars stopping everyone all around.

"Skylar, Skylar." She blinks open her eyes and she looks at me.

"What?"

"They're car tracking you need to climb in the back and hide."

"Shit." She mutters then looks out the window and clenches her fists.

"They'll see me, there's no way they won't."

"I won't let them take you, get in the back and stay low." I say and she nods unbuckling her belt and climbing into the back seat. I place my hand on her knee and she nods then takes a deep breath and lays down in a ball on the floor. I continue driving and roll down my window as I reach the checkpoint.

"Are you alone is this car sir?"

"Yes." He responds and I still unbearably silent and still.

"Can we check your trunk and back seat."

"Of course." I hear a pop and the trunk opens then the back doors open and I stay frozen and completely silent.

"Got a lot of boxes back here, where you headed?"

"To Wisconsin, just got a new home up there."

"Interesting, have you seen this girl?" I hear paper crumbling and I clench my fist as a light shines over the backseat. When nobody's looking I yank up my hood then push my head back down and gasp inwardly, as a light shines on me.

"Haven't seen her. Who is she?"

"Doesn't matter, everything clear back there?" The light freezes on me for a little bit and I practically force myself not to breathe then it's moved away.

"Yeah, it's all clear."

"Alright sir, have a safe trip." The main guy says and I hear a slam as the doors shut all around me.

"Have a good night officer, thank you." Then we start moving again.

"Is it clear?" I ask

"Yeah." I get up off of the ground and climb back over the seat so I'm back next to him.
