Stay

Ready, Set, Race

It was tuesday morning i finally got at least  2 cities away. I got the lincsnce changed and drove a block or two and found a cheap hotel that only paid 50$ a night. I had 75.32 $. Id need to make more to be able to stay a few nights til i get a place.
I got in my room with all my belongings and set it up like home sweet home. I put a do not disturb sign on the door and locked up. I went to the bathroom attached to the single bedroom and had a shower. The water didn't hurt as much because the cuts had started to heal. I stood there letting the hot water drip down me. I knew this was wrong... Luke would be up any  moment. He would search and destroy me. i love him. He's an idiot though. I didn't feel well. I washed up and got out and layed in bed with a towel around my hair and a robe on. I turned on the t.v. across from my bed. There wasnt many channels. But there where property brothers, spongebob and Sam and cat. I didn't know much t.v because Luke never let me watch much.
I rolled over and picked up my phone and texted Matt forgetting he doesn't have my number.
"You asswhole! You sleep woth me one night and never call me back!" I giggled behind the screen. I remembered i must of had a power block somewhere i looked threw my items and found one i bounced on the bed and charges my phone with the charger Matt gave me. 15 minutes passed by and finally my phone buzzed. "Im sorry you must have the wrong number..."
"Isn't this Matt?"
"Yes"
"The Matt from Patties Pub"
"No"
"Im kidding its kaele...i was expecting more." I smile at my phone.
"Ohhh explains it. But im not that kinda guy sweety. You busy?"
"No im just sitting here at a hotel planning my next move to hide this dead body laying in front of me. Why?"
"The fundraiser is today in 2 hours"
"Do you mind if u pick me up?"
"Sure drop me a pin and ill be there in  am hour or so"
*drops pin*
I get up get dressed in black skinny's and a light blue tee with my purse and converse. I walked around a d found a drug-mart. I walked in and filled my purse with black hair dye, red hair dye, blonde, light brown and make up. With a few small snack bags. People started looking at me cuz i had been walking around for a while and looked suspicious. I took a pack of gum and sunglasses and went to the cash. 10.49$ left great. It was now 11am and Matt was supposed to be at the hotel by now so i rushed back. Once i got there i didn't see him so i went upstairs and took out all in my bag. I placed everything where it belongs and put o a bit of make up to hide my cuts and to look pretty. I put the hair dyes in the bathroom and waited watching tv when my phone went off. It was Luke.

Matt came and i let him Come up while i was on the phone with Luke. "Sorry there was a family emergency my mom isn't doing well." I lied. Matt sat down with bis head down and hands holding each other. All you could hear was screaming then nothing at all. He hung up. I looked at Matt. "Ready?" I asked. "Im so sorry" he sounded hurt. "What..?? Are you okay Matt?" "Your mother...." "oh my gawd Matt ...no no no.. that was the crazy ex i was telling you about he doesn't know why i was gone. So i lied for now. He doesnt know what actually happen to her" He looked up a little pist off, He looked around. " So....why here?" "No where else to go." I replied. "Well once i get to know you and know there's no dead body hiding maybe ill let you crash in the spare room at my place. So you dont waste any money. I know your tight on that and i know this is big for two people who just met but id love to help." I smiled. "Lets go" i got up and walked towards the door and put my shoes back on.

We pulled up to this dirt road kinda deal. I got out of his truck and looked around. We where in the middle of nowhere with thousands of people. I sat up in the bleachers that had just been assembled and Matt got in a sports car with his stores logo on it on the dirt trail.
"Todays winner will be getting a gift certificate to ............." an announcer announced. I wasnt info cars so i didn't understand half of what he was saying. There where girls here in booty shorts and crop tops with boobs the size of triple D's. I look down at my converse and C cups then shrugged. I looked up and there where many mechanic store logos on cars. They all lined up and some reaved their engines. In a blink of an eye the cars flew off. After a few minutes i got confused so i walked by stands. Some had donation box' and sign sheets.
"Hey how are you doing today!" I lady asked me as i glanced at her table. "Im good how are you?" I didn't look up. " im great this here is i pledge. To our group. MADD. Would you like to pledge you support?" "Sure, pen please?" I signed my name and put 2$ in the jar. It wasnt much but its all i had on me and it was better then nothing.
I continued looking around and saw more stands with car parts and things to add to your car. Another table was necklaces,bracelets and rings. They also had tees,jackets and hoodies at the next table. i herd my name being called. I turned over to see Matt running towards me. " I didn't get first place but i came very close. I got 4th!!!" He had a pretty big smile on his face for 4th place. "That's great!" I replied. "I know it isn't much but its closer than last year and at least its donations. This is practice for me so i can get into real races." He sounded like it was the most precious thing in the world to him.

Later that day after the fundraiser we where driving around talking about each others life. He had a stable family. One sister and 2 brothers. His parents where together and happy. Me on the other hand i didn't wanna explain myself... it was sad. "My parents divorced when i was 4years old shortly after my mom got very sick. Her lungs and heart kept fail. Eventually a year she died. I haven't talked to my dad since i was 4. I have  a younger half brother he's about 18 by now. He lives with my dad so we dont see each other. I dont even think he knows me. I dont have anyone really now except Luke." I look up because he pulled over. "Wow.... who's Luke?" My heart dropped. I just spilled my life onto this random guy who helped me once. Kaele.. prepare yourself to get damaged once again. "He's the ex..so i guess you can consider it aa he's not there for me either. Unlike he ever was but.." "i am..i will if you let me" Matt touched my back. "Swiss chalet?? I point towards a red and amber building" "hungry" he looked at the time and realized it was almost 5pm.
