Crazed Heart (jai brooks)

Chapter 18

Riley's POV:

A week has passed since my last encounter with Jai. My time consisted of the same old shit at work yet my mind was always wondering off to Jai and how he is coping. Is he okay? Does he need help? Does he want to see me? 

As those three questions circled my head I finally broke out of my thoughts and glanced at the clock as a smile spread on my face when the two hands shown six o'clock. I pretty much ran to the staff cloak room and grabbed my bag and coat while skipping out onto the street. 

I ran to my car situated a little down from Shine and dived into the black leather seat as the warm stuffy air of the car engulfed me. I started the car and it came to life with a roar and set off on my journey to my warm inviting bed. The black 18" wheels of my black range rover rolled through the soggy snow that left them in a coat of water.

Eventually, I finally reached the last highway that lead my straight to the street which consisted of what was heaven in my eyes. Home. However, my car had a different idea as it let out many groans and grunts along with smoke and came to a complete halt right on the side of the highway.

"Shit"

My cold hands reached for the keys to try and set the car in ignition again but nothing but a few puffs of smoke and a grunt came out of it. My hands hit the steering wheel out of frustration before finally setting on my forehead where a light headache began to form. 

I had no idea what I was going to do. I had no one to call. All my friends were either drunk or working. 

My mind pondered for a further while before one name came to my head.

Jai.

I contemplated my decison for a little before finally deciding to go through with calling him otherwise id be stuck here.

My fingers skimmed through the contacts on my phone before his number came into view.

My fingertip hovered over his name before clicking on it.

The phone sounded with a few short rings before they were cut off.

"Riley?"
