If only everything's just that easy, if only fairytales are that simple, if only the first person you've said I love you first is the one you'll end up with, if only everything goes smooth sailing and no complicated twists, and wish that every perso...
What is going on? I hurriedly got out of the car and ran to where Logan was.
"Shit! This just can't happen right now!" He slammed his hands on the car and ran his hand on his hair.
"What happened?" I asked, coughing and swatting away the smoke away from my face.
"The tire exploded" he poured water on the wheel and more smoke came out.
"Well, that's okay, y-you could just fix the tire then we'll be on our way" I said sarcastically trying to think positive
"No it is not okay" he's expression turned grave as he examined the tire
"Why what's the problem?" I smirked. This kinda thing can clearly be fixed
"I don't have a reserve tire" he gritted his teeth, emphasizing every word.
"What?!" I took a deep breath and closed my eyes "wait, so you're telling me,.that the damn tire exploded with us stuck in the middle of nowhere,..and you don't have a reserved tire?" I was was trying my best to keep my anxiousness and anger, before I lose my shit and strangle him to his death.
"Well yeah, isn't it obvious?" He has that annoying 'are-you-dumb?' Expression displayed on his face
"Of all the things that you could've possibly forgotten, why the heck! does it need to be the reserve tire?" Ughh!! He's so stupid. What was he thinking? He's car is like 2nd hand, but then he didn't even think of the possibility that his tires might give up! How dumb!!
"Well yeah, I didn't expect this to happen since my dad gave it to me as a birthday present a few months ago" he explained
"What did you expect? That things like this won't happen? You car isn't brand new!" I tried to make some sense out of him. But it didn't seem to be working my statement about the car caught him off gaurd. He simply took a few steps back and flashed a quick smirk to the ground.
"It's true it may not be fancy and brand new just like your cars, it may look old and ragged, but the fact that my dad gave it to me and worked so hard just to buy me this car even if we had no money,.. is what makes my car completely different in a special way from the others" he looked straight deep into my eyes, it made me feel bad to see him in emotionally in pain. And to know that it was all my fault, was like almost wishing that the earth to swallow me and hide me from embarassment.
"I didn't mean to put it that way, it's just that you should never forget about bringing a reserve ti-"
"Emily would you stop blaming me for not bringing the tire" Logan cut me off befor I could finish
"when in the first place we wouldn't be here if you have just told me sooner that we were lost, but what did you do? You kept on leading us on the wrong way! So stop acting like this is all my fault" he bellowed
"Well maybe if you haven't insisted on having navigate then we should've been it Tammany right now!" I was completely losing my cool now
"Well maybe if you told me that you don't know what you're doing and insitently declined then maybe the tire wouldn't have explode and we would've been in Tammany now, but look at what happened we're stuck in the middle of nowhere !" He said more loudly this time.
I hate him, so much. He was acting like a complete jerk and blaming me for getting us lost when it was partly also his fault. His smile was too charming, reassuring and hard to resist at the same time as if to tell me that everything will be just fine
"Ughh!!" I turned around and started to walk my way back to the highway. Stupid jerk I don't need him anyway I can find my way back home without his help
"Yeah just leave, that where you're good at, leaving when the damge is already done and when you think everything is hopeless already then you walk away" he shouted behind me. I continued to ignore him and kept walking until he was already out of my sight
"Stupid jerk, I don't need him and his crappy car anyway" I grumbled. " I will find my way back without his help" I kept on walking under the hot blazing sun.
"This was all his fault though I wouldn't have to walk all the way back if he hadn't been such an absent minded jer-" I froze on my tracks and sucked in a breath. Holy shit!! 4 meters away from me lies a rattle snake lokling at me with those devilish eyes ready to strike if I make any attempt of moving.

I let out a shaky breath and very slowly took one step away from that slithery slick creature. I took another step but then the snake slithered towards my direction
"Shit! Ahhh!!" I ran back the direction where Logan was. I take it back,.I need his help. The snake just won't stop chasing me. I ran as fast as I can and didn't even bother to look back.
In the distance I could see Logan's car on the road. Logan was kneeling beside the tire with his tool box.
"Logan!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs still running. "Help!!"
Logan's POV
"Logan!"
"Help!"
I stood up and saw Emily running my direction screaming and shouting for help. What wrong with her?
"What is going on?" I asked her. She suddenly hugged me as soon as she stopped running sobbing and panting at the same time.
"It's okay, it's okay" I wrapped my arms around her to calm her down. Jesus, she feels so good in my arms.
She pulled away, she was still panting from the run. Tears falling from her eyes to her cheeks. She calmed down a few moments later. But a few tears still manage to escape from her eyes.
"What happened?" I said to her in a soft voice. The sight of her crying and holding back tears makes me want to hug her again and comfort her. But managed fight the urge of hugging her again.
"T-there was a snake an-and it chased me I-i don't know where it is now" she sobbed "God I hate snakes!!"
"It's okay it's gone now" I wiped the tears from her cheeks and kissed her forehead "I won't let anything happen to you" she closed her eyes and burried her face in my chest
