   "DADDY!!!!" I yelled as I woke up from the same nightmare almost smashing my head on the windshield, I have been this same nightmare for the last month. I know he, my sister, puppy, and my confidence all died that day but that doesn't me that should be affecting me now that was over 13 years ago when I was 5.
   "Jess are you ok?!" Veronica asked me worried and scared while swerving off the road. Veronica is my OVER protective mother that worries and is curious about everything that involves me.
   "Jess are you-"
   "I'm fine"
   "Same nightmare?"
   "..." I didn't want to say anything cause I know if I said yes she will think I'm going crazy.
   "No it's not the same nightmare... it was nothing."
    "Then what was it?"
   "It has to be something?" She exclaimed out of curiosity.
   "It's nothing!"
   "What is up with you? Ever since your father died you have been-"
   "YOU SAID WE WERE NEVER GOING TO SPEAK OF THAT AGAIN!!!" Has tears in eyes and sits back in seat.
   "I... im really sorry mom I just...-"
   "No it's my fault"
   "Don't blame your... DID YOU SEE THAT?!?!"
Mom swerves seeing the same shadowy figure on the side of the roof that I saw.
   "WHAT WAS THAT JESS?!"
   "How am I supposed to know?! I'm just as confused as you are!"
   "I think it's our minds messing with us we need some sleep. Oh look there is a hotel up ahead."
   "Mom I have a bad feeling"
   "You always have a bad feeling"
We continue driving and it was around 5 am when we get there and I see the owners on the porch. An old lady maybe in her late 80's, a 40 something year old man, two twin brother... but they don't look like it, one is a ginger and the other is a blonde, and they have a German Shepherd.  The house looks old... like from the late 1800s. But, it looks like it's brand new... strange.
So me and mom get out of the car and gathers our bags and heads of the stair.
   "Mornin y'all. What brings y'all here such early in the mornin?"
"We came for a few days till we had enough gas and enough sleep to keep going on our journey. I am Veronica and this is my 18 year old daughter."
"What's the smell?" I say holding my nose.
"Fertilizer, for the soil." The hot looking ginger said. I tried so hard not to blush in front of him.
"Ben, Lucas-"
"Ruin actually papa"
"Lucas, don't back talk me, now you two go help them with there bags." Ben and Lucas go help us with our bags. Lucas... that's his name... I mean ruin... I want to keep my knowledge of them to a minimum for now.
"So ... how old are you Lucas?"
"Ruin, and 19. I'm sorry y'all had to see that... I don't like papa calling me Lucas at all... I don't look like one."
"I... I think you do" I blush and he saw me and I got so red I ran into a wall.
"Well, here is your room little missy. I hope you like it here." Before he left he handed me his number and smiles.
"See ya at dinner? I will have a seat next to me open."
"Thanks but..."
"Please it will be a huge honor if you did"
"Ok I will, only for someone as sweet as you."
He smiles, kisses my cheek, and leaves and I blush so hard that I almost faint. I... I think I'm in love with him.
