    The diner's food wasn't all that bad , they ate , and Patrick paid , which thankfully the meal wasn't that much to pay for  . On the road again, music playing on the radio . Not a word was passed through their mouths . Lily had the time to think , to think about everything. Home , Xandra . Lily wondered if her mother was worried about her absence , she knew that Belch would. She knew that for fact. Especially since Xandra was reported missing . Was she reported missing ? She didn't tell anyone she was leaving , all she knew is that she need to make a call home. 

    Lily looked towards patrick and looked at the gas panel . There wasn't much gas left , they'd have to make a pit stop for gas. She looked at Patrick and tapped his shoulder. 

" You need to stop for gas before it's to late" she spoke , patrick looked at the gas panel and groaned 

" You got to be fucking serious " he spoke under his breathe . He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel agitated . He looked towards the side of the road , looking for road signs , signaling how far somewhere might be . 

" Ok well, there's a gas station 2 miles away , we got enough gas until then ." he spoke . He sighed out a deep breath and felt around his pockets searching for his cigarette carton . He groaned realizing there weren't in his pockets. he put up the center console and dug his hand around . Finding napkins , loose change, even a condom package which all he threw aside . He rolled his eyes and groaned , growing even more frustrated . He pressed his foot on the gas , speeding up . Lily's body was thrown back at the sudden speed and grabbed onto Patrick's arm 

" Geez , Patrick . Calm down it's just gas " she spoke  , trying to reassure that everything was fine.

" It's not the gas, i need a fucking cigarette" he spoke .

" really , a cigarette , you're upset over a cigarette" she spoke , relaxing and letting go of his arm.  she shook her head as she stared at him and rolled her eyes . 

" Well , could you at least slow down . I don't want to die over cigarettes " she spoke . Patrick eased down but kept the fast speed . Not wanting to slow down too much . The more he sped the more they got closer to the gas station . Then when they got gas , he wouldn't have anything else to stop them .

    They had finally stopped , Patrick was pumping the gas ,  distracted . Lily felt like she was doing something wrong for wanting to sneak away and make a phone call to home . She looked through the center console and collected all the loose quarters she could . She pocketed them into her back pocket of her jeans and looked into the back seat . She picked that bag of trash from the car floor and got out the car . Walking over to Patrick who was finished pumping gas . 

" I'm gotta get some cigarettes , want anything ?"  he asked . 

" water, I'm going to throw some of the trash in the car away" she spoke . He nodded and walked past her towards the gas station .  She sighed and watched as he entered the gas station . She made her hurry and rushed towards the trash can . She threw away the bag of trash and walked towards the dingy payphone . She dug out the quarters and piled them all in . She dialed her home phone and listened the ringing on the phone line. she waited , her foot tapping impatiently  

finally the click of the line signaling someone has picked up filled her ear . 

" Hello ?" 

" Reggie , hey" she spoke , smiling as she heard the familiarly of his voice

" Lily! My god , is that you . Lily what the hell ! WHERE ARE YOU ?!" he rushed 

" I don't know where i am " she spoke truthfully 

" Ok , ok that's ok . But I'm gonna need more than that. You've been gone , I'm worried , Lily " he spoke . Lily closed her eyes and sighed , she switched her footing and looked down at her feet . 

" When I tell you something , promise not to get mad?" she spoke , 

" No no, why would I get mad , Lily . I wont get mad, tell me  " Reggie said , she could sense the worry in his voice . she could hear it from the other line . 

" i - um , patri-" 

    The phone was taken from her hand and slammed down back on the receiver . Lily yelped and jumped in fright . She just now felt the presence of someone behind her . A hand slipped to her hip and she felt the warm harsh breath of Patrick . she knew it was him , she just knew 

" Why'd you lie to me" he spoke 

" i didn't lie . " she spoke in a whisper, to afraid to speak any louder . 

" Who'd you call, Lily?" he demanded

" Home " she said , her sight switched to the numbers on the dial up  trying to distract herself from the overwhelming feeling that was growing in the pit of her stomach. Patrick hands slid up to her shoulder, spun her around to face him . S look of anger on his face

" Home ? "

"I called Reggie " she informed 

" He isn't your home anymore, what once was your home isn't your home anymore . I'm your home now, you need me and only me . Do you understand ?" He shot right back at her. Tears were starting to well up in her eyes. 

" I said , do you understand !" he demanded and word from her

" Yes " she nodded , he nodded 

" Good " he gruffed out . He grabbed her forearm with a force grip and dragged her back to the car . He opened the car door and pushed her inside . He buckled up her seat belt and leaned in close towards her face

" You tell him where we are" he questioned. 

" I don't know where we are" she said

" Good . . . give me a kiss" he said .  A tear slipped her eye as she leaned forward and placed her lips on his . His reaction was immediate , he harshly kissed back . His thumb wiping away her tear . He continued to kiss her , his hands groped her breast and his hand made his way towards her throat .  He squeezed her throat a little and pulled away. He smiled at the worry plain as day in her eyes.

" I wont hurt until you ask me , until you beg me" he spoke to her under his breathe. He laid a gentle peck on her kiss, dragging his hand away from her throat . He tilted his head as he was looking at her 

" How about we stop by a motel later tonight , it'll be better than sleeping in the truck " he spoke, wiping her face from the fallen tears 

" and guess what. The motel is our last stop . " he spoke 

" I thought we were going to Bangor " she said

" Well . . . I lied " he shrugged . A laugh coming from his throat .
