(Y/n)'s pov

I've been walking for almost a day and a half my ankle severally bruised and possibly broken from trying to run after the car my so called friends drove off in, we all decided to stop and do a quickly bridal photo shoot with my suitcases and me in my gown showing I was leaving my old life behind. But when I turned for two seconds they tossed the camera to the side and speed off and when I tried running after I fell and now my ankle is purple and swollen. I'm too nervous about walking the backroads enough in my $15k dress and didn't want to risk falling again without shoes so I've been walking in four inch heels just so I wouldn't trip over the hem of my dress.

Sighing I flipped one of my suitcases on it side and sat down, I'm going to die out here I haven't eaten since before I put my wedding dress on almost two days ago and my one water bottle I had was empty for hours.

"Well this is it you're gonna become a woman in white just like you've read about in your romance books, lost in the woods in her wedding dress," I said softly looking down at my left hand. The simple white band was caked in dirt from when I had fallen and my nails were dirty and I could tell I'm sunburnt through the lace on my sleeves.  "God if you're there please send some help, I don't wanna die out here," I said looking down a single tear rolling down my face.

After afew minutes I heard a truck and I could tell it was heading my way quickly I stood up looked towards the direction the sound was coming from. Soon I saw a beaten truck that looked older than me come up the road. Frantically I started waving my arms and yelled stop. Slowly the truck was right infront of me in the road and stopped making me smile and catch my breathe.

"Woah wasn't expecting to see a pretty run away bride today, why are you out here instead of a church getting married?" The driver asked me.

"I was doing a quick photo shoot when my bridesmaids speed off without me almost two days ago they never came back can you please take me with you I have no clue where I'm at," I begged holding my hands infront of me.

"Yes miss I'm Lester here let me help ya get in are those your bags there too?" Lester said pointing to the three suitcases and my purse that was by the road.

"Yes it's everything I own, I'm (y/n)"I sighed.

Wordlessly he got out of the truck and opened the passenger door putting the bags in the floorboard and middle seat before offering his hand to me which I took and climbed in the truck.

"Her I'm gonna tuck your dress in your lap some so I can close the door better," Lester said picking up the train of my gown freezing for a second when he saw my swollen ankle before pushing the skirt in my lap and closing the door.

"I'm sorry about the smell but I'm about to drop off my last load of the day, I clean roadkill up off the side of the road and todays my short day so u can take you to my town in a bit so we can figure out your next step," he pulled out a water bottle out of his cooler  and opened it before handing it to me. "You don't look like you feel well I'll stop by a burger shop and get you something to eat too on the way back," 

"Oh you don't have to honestly," I said sweetly before practically chugging the water.

"No bride should end up like this besides im hungry myself  so it's no trouble and towns a good three hours away." Lester told me as we came up on a big pit that stunk so bad but I kept my face calm and smiled.  "I shouldn't be more than ten minutes dumping this ok?" He said jumping out and closing his door before heading to the tailgate. I couldn't keep my eyes opened as I heard Lester grunt as he pulled out the rotting carcasses from the bed of the truck but I didn't care how unsafe this man could be I shut my eyes and was fast asleep in seconds.
