Forever Lost

Chapter 4

Somehow we manage to get up and clean up the pizza-y, egg-y mess of my kitchen.

We sorta pretended like this was normal.

When she was sits on the recliner in the corner it just looks like a normal day but for me it was like the queen of England was in my living room trying to work.

She was reading an old book I didn't recognize but her face showed me all the emotions the book made her feel. Every time she read something bad or that she didn't like she would scrunch up her nose and shake her head, and when ever she saw something she liked she'd smile her beautiful smile, cuddle up in her blanket more, marking the page.

I didn't want to distract her so every move I made had to be silent and careful.

I tiptoed around my whole house before I realized she was staring at me with an amused expression.

I sat on the couch pretending to watch an old basketball game I had seen more than once.

"What do you want to do today?" I ask her trying to start a conversation

"I don't know, we really don't have to do anything. I'm fine just staying here." She responds not wanting to tell me that she's as anxious to leave as me.

"Yeah well I'm bored as hell, let's go!"

Not that I know where we are going but hey I can be spontaneous.

"So where are we going exactly?" she asked me

"I don't know, I'm just gonna drive till we find something to do." I looked over at her and she looked worried.

"Okay then." She said then resumed reading her book.

Little did I know spontaneity required both money and gas.

I had driven 2 hours in no general direction just looking for something to do when the gas light turns on.

"Hey Hannah?"She had fallen asleep as some point during the drive.

"Yeah what's up."

"We need gas and soon. My lights on and I haven't seen anything out here for a while."

She looked at me like I was the biggest idiot she had ever seen.

"So you knew we were driving. Once we pasted the limits of the city into the hills, it never occurred to you to get gas?!"

"Well we didn't need gas then!" I said trying to defend myself.

I had never seen her like this before I scared and intrigued me.

She put her hand on her forehead, rubbing in circles.
"Well right now there's nothing we can do but hope for a gas station to appear."

So I kept driving through the hills and the car gave out about 6 miles from the nearest gas station. I look at Hannah, her arms were crossed in annoyance.

"Does this mean we have to push the car?"

"Um.. or we could call a tow truck?"

"Good idea." She settled back into her seat.

Rolling my eyes, I get out of the car and slam the door. God when I fell in love with her I never realized what a Bitch she can be.

One part of my mind tells me she's under a lot of stress but the other is angry, wanting me to leave her on the road.

Instead of acting on my anger I just called the tow truck and starred out at the mountains.

I love watching the sunset and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect view.

Hannah got out of the car and stood beside me. She looked at me and then to the mountains.

"It's beautiful." She said trying to start conversation.

"Yeah it really is." I said I'm still mad but I can't ignore her.

"I know I've been a Bitch to you." She says looking down at the ground. "I really don't want you to think of me like that. Over the past month I've been into some trouble and I just...I'm sorry Kyle."

She looked up at me expecting a response that I didn't provide. I could see disappointment across her face as she starred back at the mountains.

"It's okay Hannah, let's just forget about it."

I don't want to argue right now all I want is her.

She laid her head on my shoulder.

It was the perfect moment; beautiful view, beautiful girl.

The tow truck eventually showed up giving us a ride to the nearest gas station and sending us on our way with the bill.

Back on the road I ask, "So do you just wanna go home or..."

She looked at me like I was insane. "Go home? What fun is that? Come on Kyle, we're being spontaneous."

In the mirror I see a bowling alley. Looking over at Hannah with a smirk.

"How would you like to be destroyed at some bowling?"

"Sounds great." She said smiling back up at me.
