Runaway

Chapter 9

We are driving in the car silent. The radio is on some country station. I sat there in silence not knowing what to do. I look out the window and see buildings and buildings. Then i saw him. No, it's just in my head. Im hallucinating. I look again. He's gone. I breathe forgetting i was in the car with Lindsay.
"Hey, you ok?" she ask. I glance at her.
"Ya, im fine." i say.
"You look a little antsy. You sure?"
"Yes. Im sure". And i give her a big fake smile.
"Ok." She continues to drive.

The bar was cramped pack with people. Girls with there shirt hanging way to low. Guys drooling all over them.
"C'mon Nicky. I have a reserved table for us."
"You can do that"?
"Yep. Now C'mon." she grabbed my hand and yanked me to the table. It was a table at the very back. Not many people were back here. We grab our seats and a waiter comes up to us. Before the waiter could say her line, Lindsay already said it for her.
"Hi, welcome to Annie's fun house, what can i start you with. We have 2 specials today and 34% of all food." Lindsay said. The waiter looked confused. Lindsay looked at her.
"I have been here so many times i know what y'all say." she giggles. I smile like im forced to.
"I don't even know what to say since you have said it for me. What can i get you guys." the waitress says.
" i will have a beer." Lindsay says. She looks at me.
"I will have a beer too". I barely get out.
"Ok so 2 beers. Do you girls want any menus?"
"Yes please. 2." says Lindsay. I nod. The waitress leaves and i notice Lindsay looking at me.
"Yes." i say.
"I was wondering. Why did you come here?"
I ponder. Should i tell her the real reason or make up something? I go to speak and the waitress comes back with our beers.
"Here you ladies go and here are the menus. I will be back in 2 minutes." Lindsay and I nod our heads at the same time.
"So, you gonna answer my question?" Lindsay says.
"It just happens where i be."
