Charmane hummed as she went through the back pack John had given her.

Her hair was braided into a halo braid a few curly strands poking out here and there.

She smiled as she pulled out an ipod nano.

"What's this?" She asked raising a brow to John.

"Oh, you know, I fount it and I uploaded quite a few songs." He said with a shrug.

They were still on the road and it was still the same day.

Charmane just laughed softly before going through the bag some more.

"You have any headphones?" She asked.

"Well I have an aux cord and a car radio." She noted the slight smirk on his face.

She looked at the radio and around for the aux cord before grabbing it and connecting the two.

"You actually have a great taste in music." She said as she went through the device.

"It's been forever since I heard this song!"

A second later the soft tune of Somewhere Only We Know began to play out the speakers.

Charmane grinned an insane grin when Lilley Allen started singing.

"Out of all people I would have pegged you as the kind that only listens to originals."

"Well what can I say. She sings it good and I couldn't find the original." He said this as a true smirk fount a place on his face.

"Oh, simple thing, where have you gone? I'm getting tired and I need someone to rely on." The soft sound of Charmane singing along sounded through the truck.

The beat picked up a bit and John's voice shuffled in next to hers

"I came across a fallen tree, I felt the branches of it looking at me. Is this the place we used to love? Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?"

John stop for a second and watched Charmane out the corner of his eye.

"Oh simple thing, where have you gone? I'm getting old and I need something to rely on. And if you have a minute why don't we go; Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything. So why don't we go somewhere only we know? Somewhere only we know."

The beat slowed down again before picking back up. John looked to the road, a sign welcoming them to New Jersey was off to the side.

"Charmane, what do you say stopping by an oil refinery?"

"We need gas?" She asked with a quirk ed brow.

"Yes, lots of it. The only bad thing about my baby is that she burns a lot of gas. I've only have 4 gallons in the back." He said this as he looked to her.

"Well let's go to the oil refinery."
