Jess' P.O.V

It was now starting to get late, which also meant it was getting colder. I sigh as I pull my knees up to my chin.

"I'm sorry." Brad speaks sincerely as he bites his lip and throws his sunglasses on the dashboard.

"Whatever." I reply.

"Don't be stroppy with me, it's hardly my fault!" Brad snaps.

"Well who's idea was this then?" I reply sarcastically and seconds later Brad sighs in defeat.

"And before you ask, no I still don't have any fucking signal because now my phone is also dead." I continue as I look out the window.

"Jess" Brad whines as he tries to bring me into a hug.

"Don't you think you've done enough?" I reply as I open the car door and slam it shut.

"Jess it's freezing, get back in the car!" Brad shouts.

"Make me."

I hear Brad sigh again as he gets out the car and kicks the tyre in anger.

"What exactly is that gonna achieve?"

"I don't know"

"Exactly."

"Just fuck off Jess! It's not like you've done anything about it have you?" He shouts.

"Well neither have you! And you know what, if you wanted to get rid of me so bad you should have said!" I scream back as I hold back the tears. No way am I crying in front of him. I'm stronger than that.

As I start to walk away Brads hand finds mine, I instantly pull my hand away.

"Jess, I'm sorry, okay? I'm just a b-"

"Save it" I interrupt as I continue to walk, picking up the pace. I can't even bare to turn around right now.

Before I know it, I'm running through the field and towards where I assumed was a beach.

There's footsteps from behind me of whom I'm guessing was Brad but in the end he clearly gave up.

As I finally hear the waves of the sea I realise I was right about there being a beach.

It was empty, all you could hear was my heavy breathing and the sound of the waves.

I presume to sit on the sand with my back against a rock (comfortable I know!)

And soon enough the tears are on full flow.

What a mess.

Brads P.O.V

I tried to chase her, I really did. I push my hair back in frustration.

I knew I should have looked for directions or at least have filled up with petrol on the way. Now I'm left full with guilt.

Jess could be anywhere by now. As the thoughts pile up it all starts to become too much and I start to cry. I never cry.

"JESS!" I shout, hoping she can hear me, but there's no use.

I kick a stone near me in anger. I'm such an idiot.

As I go to sit back in the car I see headlights in the distance. I immediately run towards the road shouting and waving my hands around.

"HEY, OVER HERE, STOP, PLEASE" I shout as I beg.

But it's no use as the driver fails to notice me, I don't quite know how but he did.

I proceed to go back to the car and open the boot. I get Jess' pink blanket from her suitcase and try to get comfortable in the driving seat. The blanket smells of her and I find it comforting; it's the only way I'm going to sleep right now.

I look up to the mirror in the centre of the windscreen and gently trace my thumb over the hanging Polaroid of me and Jess from the engagement.

I sigh before whispering to myself, "that girl is driving me crazy, and I love her for it" and before I know it, I drift off into a much needed sleep.
