Married to a criminal

18.Sketches- Drawings

I look out the window as the sun sets.
"We almost at rest stop" West said.
"You better be for real. Last time you got us lost when you said that. That was an hour ago!"
"Sorry." He says.
We pull into the pit stop area.
"what about those drawings?" I ask.
"Fine" he says as he gets his bag from the back.
He flips through some pages.
Finally he finds a sketch.
"Don't laugh."
He shows it to me, a beautiful girl.

"That's amazing." I say.
"You think?" He looks into my eyes.
"Yeah."
"Thanks." He gets out of the car.
"Your driving!" He yells.
I groan and slide into the drivers seat.
He gets out his pencil and starts to sketch.
  I drive as it gets dark. By now, West is already asleep. He has headphones on and his head is leaned against the window.
   I see his sketch book open to a page. I grab it and look at it.
It looks like me?

I flip the page to find another sketch and its if me on that day at the dinner.

   I put the sketch book in the back seat and pull into another pit stop area.
   I tap on West's shoulder and he wakes up.
   "My turn?" He groans and mumbles out.
   "Yep" I pop the p and get in the passenger seat as he eats out to go to the other side of the car.
   West backs up the car as some car pulls in and I see the people get out. It's Peter and Ash.
   I punch West on the shoulder.
  "It's the people I ran from." I say.
   Ash looks at the car.
"Wait!" He yells
"What?"
   "I got to piss!" He yells as he pulls the car back in.
  I roll my eyes as we get out and he runs as I run after him.
  He goes in and as I follow him, staying in the lobby area... I yell "you idiot dick face!"
  I hear him laugh.
I look over and see Ash on a chair and Peter standing, looking at a map. He looks up at me.
    "West! You better hurry!" I yell.
   "Look, I'm fucking taking a shit!" He yells.
    "Ewe! TMI!" I yell back. Our voices are faint to each other.
   I walk to a seat and set down, pulling my phone out of my pocket.
    I hear the toilet flush.
Then my phone rings and I look at my caller ID, heart racing.
   It's Ash! Wait.... I look over at Ash to see him with his phone out, starring at me.
   West walks out.
"W!" I yell.
   He looks at the situation.
His eyes wide, he runs over to me, grabbing my hand.
   I stand, a frozen Ash looking into my eyes and a Peter just confused.
     Finally Ash gets up and runs after us as we get into the car.
   I make eye contact with Ash as a tear falls down his face.
   "Shit!" West yells.
I look at him.
   "What?"
"I left my sketch book." He says.
  I open the door and slip out the car.
    "Yeah!" I yell.
West slams on the breaks.
"Are you stupid!?"
  I run back in. Ash grabs my wrist.
    We stop and look up, into each other's pained eyes. I sling my wrist and escape, running to the guys restroom.
   I find the book and take it. I run out of the restroom as Ash and Peter both grab me.
    "Heyyy....." I awkwardly say.
Ash pulls me in and hugs me.
   "I've missed you."
Peter hugs me too.
   We pull apart
West walks in as Ash leans down to kiss me.
   "Nora! We need to go!" West yells.
   I slip away, leaving a hurt Ash.
   "What?"
"I'll explain later." West says as we drive away.
