ASLEEP // A DOVE AND RYAN FAN FICTION.

Chapter 2// Roadside help.

Ryan's POV:

I quickly packed away my stuff, getting a paper cut in the process "Shit!"I muttered under my breath.

I sucked my finger to stop the bleeding. 

I knew i had to get home 'quickly' for some reason. 'It better not be another one of those "Thank god you're home, I NEED YOU TO BUY ME ICE CREAM!"situations again' i thought to myself, loading the car.

I got in front of the wheel, and started up the engine. After about 5 minutes the car started making weird sounds, like it was coughing. I revved the engine, it started up..and then about 5 seconds later it started choking and stopped completely. "Fuck!"I cursed.

I did know that there was a gas station close by, thanks to the 'Gas Stations for Goobers' app i had downloaded the previous night!

I pushed the car for a couple of yards, which, even though i wasn't unfit, really hurt my arms and back.

"FUCK FUCK FUCK!"I yelled, smacking the trunk with all my might which resulted in a bruised hand.

I didn't know what to do. There was no signal, so i couldn't call Chloe and tell her i'd be late! She probably thought i had just blown her off or something.

As i closed my eyes which were dry and tired, i heard the faint sound of an engine rumbling in the distance. I opened my eyes to see a dark green, grungy looking truck rolling down the road towards me. I stood up, dusted the gravel off of my back, and smiled at the driver of the truck.

He grinned back , and pulled up beside me.

"Need any 'elp boi? I'm Tom! You right?"He asked, opening the door of his truck and stepping out.         "Yeah, help would be great! I'm Ryan!" I smiled, holding out my hand.                                                                    "Well run me over 'nd call me Roadkill! The Ryan McCartan!?" He grinned, baring his 8 remaining teeth.                                                                                                                                                                                                     I nodded. "Yeah, you know me?!"I laughed. He grinned again,                                                                       "Course i do! I don't live under a possum!" He laughed.

"So son, where you gotta be?"He asked. "Well..I need to get home to my Fiancee. She needs me urgently and i can't call her because there's no signal!" I ranted, wiping the sweat from my brow. 

"Where d'ya live?"He asked. "LA,..why?!"I replied, scratching my neck. "I can get ya home, for a small fee of one of your toes!"He laughed menacingly.

I gulped. "Just kiddin! But i wouldn't mind an autograph!"He laughed, taking a small notepad out of his jacket pocket and handing it to me at arms length. I raised my eyebrows, then smiled awkwardly at him. "Sure.."I muttered, taking the notepad from him and pulling a conveniently placed pen out of my pocket. 

"There!"I smiled, handing him back the notepad and grinning broadly. "Per'fect!" He said, shoving it back into his pocket.

"Okay!Let's get move'in!" He chirped, getting back into his truck. I got into the truck and sat beside him. "Thank god!"I thought to myself. I didn't really know what to do about my car, so i asked him, and he told me he conveniently had a cable to pull the car in his trunk!

We connected the two vehicles, then set off.

When we reached the main road and my phone FINALLY received cell service, i texted Chloe.

RYAN: I'm so sorry baby! The car ran out of gas and i had to wait like..2 hours until this guy showed up and now i'm in his truck!

DOVE: OH! Thank god your okay, i called you like..6 times!

'Woah..that thing she wants to tell me must be REALLY important if she's being this consistent!' I thought to myself.

RYAN: It's THAT important?

DOVE: Yeah..really big news..

I looked over at Tom who seemed to be closing his eyes. His head was propped up against the window. "Tom..?"I asked, nudging his shoulder. He didn't move. "TOM! OH MY GOD..TOM!"I yelled, realizing his mouth was hanging open and his eyes were shut. "OH FUCK!"I shouted as the truck  swerved  and hit the curb. I tried to take the wheel from him but his head was in the way. My car was smashed up and was on it's side. "SHIT!"I shouted, as the truck continued to roll down the road, dragging what was left of my car behind it. 

Then there was a *SMASH!* 

And everything went black.
