Never Leave My Side

Chapter 3 Spare Tire

(Andy's POV)
"Is everything alright?" You yell after you open the bedroom door.

The driver, Alvin, turns his head and has a look of concern on his face.

"Yeah! I think we have a flat tire!" He yells back, wiping sweat away from his forehead.

He drives the bus on the side of the road, and goes to check on the tires.

"What are we going to do?!" Juliet asks, tugging on your sleeve.

"We'll figure it out." You reply.

You decide to look out the window to see where you stopped. You spot a sign: "50 miles away from Phoenix Arizona" your eyes widen as you look around more to see nothing but barren land and mountains.

"We're 50 miles away from our first stop, but it looks like there's not much civilization near by.." You say as you turn to Juliet.

Her mouth flies open, "What?!"

"We'll figure it out." You try to calm her. Your hands rest on her shoulders and you look her in the eyes. Juliet stops panicking and looks at you.

"Everything will be okay, I promise." You explain.

Before Juliet could reply Alvin slams the door open, "We need an extra tire!" He looks around frantically.

You and Juliet start searching around, in the closet, under the sink.. no tire.

"Where would you keep a spare tire on this thing?" Juliet asks.

You lift up the mattress, your eyes drift around, "If we can't find a tire, there's no way to travel! We would have to-" He gets interrupted by you,

"Found one!" You point with a smile ear to ear. Under the bed had compartments of tools, supplies, and a tire happened to be included. Alvin smiles and walks towards you, he takes a peek at where you pointing and grabs the tire and heads out the door.

"Thanks bud! You're a life saver." Alvin thanks you before exiting.

"Thank god! Who keeps a tire under a bed though?" Juliet laughs.

"I don't know but I'm glad I found it!" You smile and kiss her cheek.

"I told you everything would be alright." You look at her. "I know."
