I went back and read my previous chapter because it's been so long since I've updated I forgot what I wrote... I swear I was half asleep writing that..
Alexis POV
We land back in my original home state. Florida. The plane ride was rough with Hunter, I had to explain to him that he was going to land safely multiple times, but we made it here in one piece. Luke walks into a rental car building while me and hunter wait outside, I smell the hot thick air and sigh.
"This is where I grew up" I tell Hunter with a smile, he looks around and then at me.
"Really?" He asks and I nod
"Well I mean not exactly right here, we have to drive about an hour and half before we get to the house." I watch him as his smile fades into a frown. I feel like me and hunter are making progress, he speaks a few words now, I haven't heard him say a complete sentence before, but he does say some words every once in a while. I feel like he's getting to trust me more then he has previously.
"Daddy!" He perks up as we see Luke walking towards us.
"That right there is our beauty for the week" Luke points to a car on the lot, it isn't horrible.. It'll do.
"It's not bad" I say and Luke nods, as we walk over to the car we see the man who gave Luke the keys of the rental, staring out the window at us, as we look over at him he quickly looks away, I furry my eyebrows and Luke pops the trunk open, the immediate smell of dead body hits me and I plug my nose quickly
"Oh my.. Gosh... What is in here" I say backing away keeping my nose plugged tightly.
"Oh yeah, we found a dead body in there last time the car was rented, no big deal right?" The dealer says popping in from what feels like no where.
"Actually it sorta is, I don't want to be driving this thing around for a week, it stinks, it's unsafe and we could end up being framed for something we never did." I say and Luke nods.
"Is there any other car.. Maybe.." Luke asks politely
"No." The man grabs the keys from Luke's hand and runs inside, I'm confused and pissed now. we have no way to get anywhere, were in a dirty shady town. I grab my cell phone and dial my mom.
"Mom, were off the airplane and everything, but we're at a car rental, the car had a previous dead body in it, when we asked for a new car the man refused and now were stranded with no car because of this psychotic bitch.." I mutter 'bitch' under my breathe knowing that Hunter has ears.
I hear my mom sigh from the other end of the phone. "Your father will be to pick you guys up, until then please find somewhere safe to be." She talks to me as if I'm still the 16 year old naive girl who left here.
"We will mom." I say before hanging up. I look at Hunter and Luke
"We need to find some place to wait, my dad is going to come pick us up." I say and me and Luke start to look around.
"Why don't we just go back into the airport?" I suggest and Luke nods in agreement, I pick up Hunter and Luke carries the luggage back in, we take a seat on a few chairs and look around, Hunter rests his head on my shoulder.
"You can take a nap, I'll let you know when grandpa arrives" I kiss the top of his head, he nods and begins to drift off.
We wait for what seems like hours and hours, a few girls came up to Luke asking for a photo every once in a while, other than that nothing crazy happened. Soon my dad arrives and helps Luke with the luggage, I don't want to wake Hunter up, this is the first time he's slept since I slept with him cuddling him the one night. I carry him to my dads car and sit in the back with him, laying his head on my lap and slowly running my hands through his hair, he moves every once in a while but I tell him it's okay and I'm right with him, he continues to sleep, my dad quietly asks things about Hunter as he helps Luke load up the car, I don't say much because I don't want Hunter secretly hearing, Luke and dad get into the car after loading it and we're off on the ride back to home, we figure we will drop off our luggage at home first, and then I want to go to the hospital to See my sister.
sorry for the short chapter but I literally feel like I'm going to pass out (first week of babysitting was this week) and I knew I needed to get something up.. So goodnight (:
