Love Sucks! Until I Met You.

Chapter 7 - Road Trip part 2

Taylor's POV

I'm back in this truck with him, again. Jeremey and I aren't really on speaking terms right now. We are almost to Iowa, thank goodness. He is really getting on my nerves. Still looking out the same window I have been for the past two hours, Jeremey tapped my shoulder trying to get my attention.

"Don't touch me." I snapped then instantly feeling guilty. "Look just please don't touch me. What do you want." I ask a bit softer.

"Well were almost there just thought I should tell you." he said quietly trying not to make me any more angrier.

"You could have just told me." I reply looking at him with a blank expression.

"Sorry." he gave me a sincere look but  I just nodded. Only twenty more minutes and I can get away from him. 

*Earlier - Beginning of trip*

I didn't know what to say to Jeremy after last night. I mean I don't know anything about him, but there no arguing with Kris. As we got to his truck and it was just quiet. Like really quiet. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see him shift his feet on the pedals and his hands on the steering wheel. I began to get cold from the constant breeze from the air conditioning.

"Are you cold?" he said taking off his jacket and handing it to me.

"Umm Im o-" I started

"Just take the damn jacket please." He said lightly pushing it towards me. 

"Sure thanks." I say sarcastically putting on the jacket and putting it on. It smelled like carmel apples. It was comforting. 

"Smell good?" Jeremey asks with a smirk.

"Don't look at me in that tone of voice." I say in my best 'angry mother' tone.

"Sorry." He said with a slight sadness.

"Hahaha Jeremey I'm just kidding." I poke his side.

" Yes it smells good." I smiled "Oh alright." he says regaining his confidence. "So Summertonn, how is it?" 

"Well I'm a freshman, so its good so far. What grade are you in?" I asked him.

"I'm a sophomore, like your brother right?"

"Yeah. You dont look like a sophomore." I say taking in his appearance. His red, plaid button up shirt fit him perfectly, with the sleeves rolled up.  His light brown hair was spiked up just in the front. His eyes were a light shade of green, like the color of grass right before it dies. Weird analogy, I know.  

"Well what do I look like?" he asked with a flirtatious smile.

"Please don't look at me like that." I say looking out the window. I can't go back to that.

"Seriously, are you ever going to tell me what happened." he tightened his grip on the steering wheel. I didn't answer but i felt the tears threatening to pour. I played with the charm on my bracelet, it was a small heart locket. "He" gave it to me. Not Jeremey if you were confused. I never took it off because it was too small to pull off my wrist, and it didn't have a clasp. "I guess not." Jeremey said not thinking id be able to hear him. He noticed i was crying, and stopped the truck. 

"What are you doing." I ask trying to wipe my tears away.

"Im not driving any further until you tell me what is wrong." he said taking out the keys.

"You're crazy." I said  taking out my phone. "Hayden, Jeremey has stopped the truck and is not going to drive any further, so I'm going to walk to your car." I say as I open the passenger door and start walking. 

"Where are you going?" he yelled after me. 

"To ride with Hayden." I yell back not even turning around. He caught up and picked me up bridal style. 

"What the hell do you think your doing?" I yelled whiled trying to get out of his grasp. He walked back to the truck and set me down in front of the passenger side door. He put both hands beside my shoulders on the truck. I took out my phone to call Hayden, but Jeremey gabbed it and held it out of reach. I got on my tip-toes to try and take my phone back, but only thing I accomplished was me pushing myself against Jeremey's hard chest. He wrapped his left arm around my waist and put my phone in his back pocket. He opened the door, "Get in and you get your phone back." he said plainly. I glared but got in anyway, why not I'll just txt Hayden and tell him we need to stop for gas so I can switch cars. He gave me my phone back and I did as planned. I told Jeremey they needed to stop for gas, and he agreed to stop. That little distraction was a good five minutes. I am starting to dislike this guy.

We pulled into the gas station five minutes later, Charley was in the parking lot. Kris and Daniel weren't in the truck, so I figured they went into the store.

"Kris?" I heard Hayden call out. Ten seconds later Kris and Daniel come from the side of the building, his hair was ruffled and she was fixing her ponytail. 

"Did ya'll just have sex back there?" I teased with a sly smile.

She just walked up to me and wrapped her arms around my waist and i played along by putting mine around her neck. "Oh baby, don't be jealous , you'll get your later." she winked, "Ok but it better be good." I fake pouted. "Oh it's always good." she said and looked at the guys faces. It was hilarious. "Damn, I want some of that." some guy from the store said at us. We looked at each other and smirked. Kris walked over to the guy and traced her hand up and down his arm. "Oh honey what makes you think you can have this?"  

"Ummm.." he tries to say but she stops him. 

"Save it." she smiled and got into Charley. The guy just went to his car and left. She rolled the window down, "Are we leaving?" she asked and everyone nodded and went to their designated vehicles. I decided to just suck it up and ride with Jeremey because Kris seemed to be having a good time with Daniel. We stopped about an hour later so we could take a break. 

"How tired is everyone else?" Kris yawned

"Were good." I say for Jeremey and I.

"Great." 

"This is fun." 

"Ya'll suck. I feel like I'm gonna pass out I'm so bored." she whined and Daniel put his arm around her.

"You know I can drive Charley if you want." he asked nicely and Hayden, Kris, and I all froze. 

"Hey ya'll I'm gonna, um, go for a walk. I need to stretch my legs." And she was off. I just stood there still frozen, I couldn't speak. Only Hayden and I know why she doesn't let anyone else drive Charley. 

"That was the wrong thing to ask." Hayden told Daniel putting his head in his hands.

"Why." Daniel asked curiously.

"You have to ask her yourself." 

"No one ever drives Charley except Kris." I say trying to make him feel less guilty.

"I'll be back." and he ran after her. 

We waited about ten minutes in front of the gas station, when Daniel appeared with Kris in his arms. I walked back to Jeremey's car, letting Kris have her space. Everyone else did the same to their own trucks. I watched as Daniel got into the drivers side and started the truck. I'm starting to get the idea that she likes him. Thats good, but I don't know how my brother is going to act. I know for sure he likes her as much as she does him.
