Chapter 18
Carly
I wake up in guess where? Nebraska, and from what I've heard it's the most boring place in the universe. I blink hard, and rub my eyes. Damien sighs and looks over at me, he smiles. We get off the plane. He rents a car, I didn't know it was this cold in Nebraska. As you may have noticed, most of the vampire myths aren't true at all. Thus, we get cold too. I wonder why Damien hasn't killed me. I know he loves me blah, blah, blah. Still he shouldn't risk his own life for me. His stupid best friend who just might be in love with him.
The roads are icy, we're silent. I don't risk talking to him. We've almost crashed 5 times now. It snows, not a pretty snow, it comes down furiously. I hate Nebraska. I grip the door handle, my knuckles white. I grit my teeth. It goes on like this for hours, there is nothing in Nebraska. Damien promised me we'd check into the first hotel we see. I am freaking out. Driving on ice is not fun. There's a sign. It says there's a hotel. Thank god.
The hotel is nice, new. It's the most glamorous thing I've seen in Nebraska so far. The rooms are even prettier. There's a living room with a leather sofa, and a T.V. In the bedroom there are two beds and another T.V. I flop down on the bed nearest to the window, and pull out my cell. Aunt Ginger has been trying to call me for hours. I can't give away our location. I can't call Aunt Ginger and tell her I'm ok. She probably thinks I've been kidnapped, but for real this time.
Damien orders room service. I watch Nickelodeon. I still can't believe Damien didn't keep my secret. Even if it just slipped, he should have been more careful. I don't know. Am I over-reacting, or is this a problem?
