On The Run

Chapter 5

Harley's P.O.V

Haha! Yes! I've finally got rid of that stupid little bitch! I showed her...

But as I drive round the Gas station to make a turn back onto the highway I notice something. Something that wasn't there before. Two burly men walking towards Skyler.

This can't be good.

I watch as they get leave their motorcycles behind them and walk towards her. She's backing away slowly looking pretty panicky.

I see one of them grab her arm as the other one points to her and says something. Great. Just great.

I'm going to have to save her ass again.

I swerve the car round at full speed and drive through the gas station ignoring any barriers that I drive over. I'm not sure what I'm more annoyed at. The fact that Skyler's about to possibly get kidnapped by two drunk idiots. Or the fact that my plan on ditching her has totally failed.

I just can't win.

I get out of the car and storm towards them, they still haven't noticed me so now's my time to strike.

I pull the guy that's got a hold of her arm backwards and punch him straight in the jaw, knocking him clean out. The other one jumps back away from Skyler and raises his arms innocently.

"Don't you dare touch her!" I yell at the guy now on the floor completely knocked out. I suppose there was no point in that but I'm too annoyed to care. And I don't think that the other guy that is now running in the opposite direction would question it.

"Get in the car." I hiss at Skyler.

Great. Now I'm going to have to spend another god knows how many hours in the car with her.

She doesn't think twice before jumping in the car and slamming the door shut quickly behind her. I can see she's clearly in shock by the horrified look on her face.

"Are you okay?" I ask, but it comes out a little more harsh than I wanted it to and I sound as if I'm yelling at her.

"I..I'm fine..." She mumbles.

We carry on driving all the way through the night without saying a single word to each other. Although that was probably due to the fact that she was asleep most of the time.

I glance over at her a couple of times, observing how she looked when she was sleeping. She looked kind of...cute.

But no way would I ever say she was cute. I mean, don't get me wrong she's still possibly the most frustrating person I've ever met. But something about her...I don't know, I guess my mind was just freaking out because of what had happened over the last twenty four hours.

By the time dawn came, I was still driving and she was awake. I'm not quite sure what it was that she was messing about with, it kind of looked like a scrap book.

She then got out a camera and started fiddling with the settings, I had no idea what she was planning on doing, but I didn't bother asking her.

This girl was weird in so many ways, I suppose I just didn't understand her. Nor did I want to.

I still hadn't given up on my plan to ditch her.

"Why did you leave me?" She asks, making me jump out of my skin. I didn't expect her to talk to me for at least another day.

"I..I didn't." I lie.

"Don't lie to me." She says bluntly, still keeping her eyes firmly fixed on the camera.
