Chloe Knight is a caregiver to younger brother and sister after her parents are murdered. Not long after the parents death Chloe's younger sister become seriously ill and is diagnosed with leukaemia. In a desperate attempt to get a job she meets Jai...
I look at the at the time on the dashboard and it says 8:15pm. I have been driving for five hours and I haven't pulled over to have a break. There's a sign for a rest stop and I follow it.
I need to have rest now. Some coffee will help me stay awake until I get to Monterey Bay.
I park my car close to the main doors of the restaurant. I stretch my body before moving towards the door. A guy holds the door open for me. "Have a good night, miss."
I smile. "Thanks, you too." I watch him walk towards a black SUV and he climbs inside.
The car takes off out of the parking lot and nearly crashes into another car.
Why is that guy in a rush for?
I shake my head trying to clear it from that guy's behaviour. I walk over to the counter and order a coffee and burger. While my food is getting made I head towards to the restroom. I do my business and wash my hands. I step out of the restrooms and make my way back over to the counter.
My name is called and I pick up my coffee and burger. I take my stuff to the car and climb in. I switch on my phone. There's eighteen missed calls and thirty texts.
I feel popular today.
I scroll through all the calls and see four from Jai and the rest are Nate. Two texts from Jai and the rest are Nate.
Looks like my brother wants to talk to me now. Am I really ready to talk to him after the last couple of days of him ignoring me? No, I'm not.
I pick up my phone and call Jai. The phone rings twice before my fiancé answers it.
Jai: Are you okay, Chloe?
Me: I'm fine. I miss you.
He laughs.
Jai: I miss you too. Thanks for calling me.
Me: You're welcome. I will call you before I go to sleep. I still have a couple more hours left until I make it to my half way destination.
Jai: Talk to you later. Love you.
Me: I love you too, Handsome.
I end the call and put my phone back in my handbag. I pull out of the restaurant parking lot and head to my next destination. I crank up the music and sing along to some Jessie J song that comes on the radio.

It's 12am, when I pull into the closest motel that had a Vacancy. All the other places was filled. I look at the building and see things that need fixing. As I step out of my car I see a part of the room fall on the ground close to the office.
The manager steps out of his office. He looks at the part and starts swearing. I grab my duffel and head over to the office. As I get closer to the part that fell off I notice that it was a tile.
