    Stella's Pov*

It had been 10 minutes and James was still talking to that old guy. He was not even letting me get out of the car, I wonder what they are talking about. Suddenly James expressions turned soft,maybe because of what that old guy said to him. I was kinda suffocating in here, sitting all alone in the car but I don't have a choice. James looked in my direction and then said something to the guy, I tried my best to figure out what he said to that old man, but couldn't but before my curiosity could kill me, James came to me and opened the car door. I immediately stepped out.

" James wha-"

James cut me off.

" Stella,I'll explain everything to you,Now, just please come with me ." He said that all in just one breath.

I was confused with whatever the hell was going on that I couldn't reply. I just stared at him;my face held a confused expression.

Seeing that he said, " Just trust me, okay?" He stuck out his hand,without really thinking I grabbed his hand. We both walked over to the guy. The old guy who was probably in his late 50s was looking at me with a smirk plastered on his face, which made me really uncomfortable. I held onto James black coat.

"You okay?" James asked his eyes locked on the man.

"Yeah." I whispered.

"You have my car now, As promised it's all yours. I fulfilled my promise now it's time for you to fulfill yours." Wait, What? He's trading his car for a stupid ride!? Well, it's not stupid in this situation we really need to get home as soon as possible or else some animal will eat us or some gang can also kidnap us and murder us, the thought sent shivers down my spine.

"Very well then, hop in." The guy replied.

James took my hand in his large one and lead me to a... truck? How are we suppose to get in this? James walked to the back of the truck and pulled up the shelter. He placed both of his palms on the metalic floor of the truck, " It's covered with dust," He said jerking back his hand and clapping them together to clean off the dust. He then got in the truck and helped me get in that too.

When I was finally in the truck I looked around, it was empty, There was nothing there not even a seat to sit on, I guess we have to stand then. I could feel form my peripheral vision that James was staring at me, " Stop staring, you're creeping me out." I said, my eyes still on the empty dark side of the truck.

"S-sorry"

I looked at him and hit him on his arm.

"Hey! That hurts!" James said, rubbing his arm.

"That was a stupid joke you dumbass, you didn't had to say sorry."

" And why isn't this truck moving?What's he doing there?" I said annoyingly.

" He's connecting the car with the truck through a rope, It will take him about 5 minutes I guess." He answered. Yeah, right... how can I forget ?

" I still cannot believe you gave away your brand new car for a ride. You could have given him you're watch or you're ring or something , I;m sure he would've agreed on that."

" He demanded it. I had no choice. Plus I would've given him all my money if I had to, to get out of this place."

"Bu-" I was about to say something but that guy's raspy voice cut me off.

" Is there a problem?" He said, his eyes going from me to James. His gaze was so intense as if he was reading right through me. After giving us both a weird smile he walked away.
