Him

8.Marked

after i had woken up, i realised everything that had happened from yesterday. i squeezed my eyes shut in hope that i would wake up in a bed not in car at a truck stop, that it was all a nightmare and none of the incidents happened. i was then pulled away from my thoughts by someone having a tight grip on my waist. Alex had woken up and asked what time it was, i looked at my watch, and we then realised it was 6 in the morning.
"five more minutes please" alex asked while putting his face in the crock of my neck. he let out a sigh that had tickled me neck and made me giggle and move around a little. "ill give you an hour how about that, cause im tired to" i laugh. he lets out a breathy laugh and tickles again and i move around again at the feeling. "stop moving around like that its to early and your making things happen" he says and i can feel him smiles. i simply stop and we go back to sleep for about another hour or so.

i jumped up to the sound of the honk to a semi-truck and woke up and to have alex jump to at the sound. i was breathing unevenly and was sweating from the nightmare,or shall i say reality, that was in my dream and from the honk. Alex had noticed and rubbed my back up and down and asked if i was okay. i simply nodded and laid back. "nani....we need to start driving again we can't just stay here okay?" i looked at him tired as he told me i simply just nod and we both make our way to the front seat and start the car and drive.
"Alex where are we going cause.... pretty much everywhere know our faces since he was big news and not just some guy" i say biting on my lip, a habit i do when im anxious, and he just stays quiet and keep driving which is not helping with my anxiety. "alex..." i say hoping he'll answer me, i it my lip harder trying my hardest to keep calm and not let my anxiety get the best of me, but of course he keeps quiet letting the anxiety eat away at while i bite harder on my lips. "ALEX WHERE ARE WE GOING AND WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO" I Yelled once we stopped at a stop sign before i knew what was hapening i felt a sting to my face and realised he had hit me. before i knew it i was crying from the pain of the hit and the hurt i felt that he actually would hit me. his face softened when he saw me cry and put the car in park and scooted closer to me in the seat but i tried to get out of the car but he pulled me towards him. i tried everything to get out of his grip but he held me until i stopped my struggling and crying. he kept on repeating how he was sorry and he didnt mean to. as usual i hugged him and cried a bit more until he  moved away to check on me i haven't been this unstable ever besides the a whole moth after being told about philips passing. now that i think about it, philip is the only thing passing through my mind since it happened, nothing else. alex pulls out a box he found from under the seat and gave it to me, he went back to driving and i opened the box. I smiled like a 5 year old when it revealed the casset tapes i had, "i forgot how old at heart you were before i left... so who you got there?" alex says smiling while he looked at the box and back at the road i looked at the cassets and saw who i always listened to. "earth to nani, you here" alex chuckles.

"sorry... lets see i got,uh, the warrant, AC/DC (my real life secret favorit band ever), some bon jovi, guns and roses, sex pistols, the beatles..." i smiled at my "babys" and pulled out the warrants casset and the first thing to play is cherry pie which is my favorite so of course i sing to it

"she my cherry pie, cool drink of water sweet surprise..."
*sings whole song, listen to it its my fav. and it awesome*

" nani i know someone who can help us out give us a place to stay for a bit somewhere we can trust him okay" alex tells me as he turn into a neighbor hood.

"alex how do you know this town good?" i asked and he explained its one of the places he left to and remembers well. i just nodded and stayed quiet as we entered someone drive way. when we got out of the car some guy came out and smiled at alex. i stood there still a little nervouse, as soon as the guy looks at me he looks back at alex waiting for an answer.
