Chapter 28: Ride Home

(Brandon)
As I was being bailed out of Jail and walked out to the lobby I seen Monica
Standing alone waiting for me.
As soon as I walked up to her she said nothing and walked out of the building.

"Thanks for bailing me out," I said as I caught up to her she was standing by her car.
She was about to get in when she looked dead at me.

"You owe me two thousand dollars,"she said with a serious face.

"One more thing,"I said.

She rolled her eyes.

"What," she said clearly annoyed.

"Can you take me home?"

She just stood there thinking about it. Then she looked at me and said "Fine but this is just a ride home nothing more."

Then she got in her I walked up the passenger side and got in the scent of lavender hit my nose. She started the car and pulled off from the parking lot and onto the street.  I noticed it was starting to rain.

"Thanks again," I said with a shy grin on my face.

"yea."

She turned up the radio and kept her eyes on the road as trees we're surrounding both sides of the road into the night.

She was dressed kind of odd she looked like a sexy church lady.

But any I ended up in Jail beacuse
(Flash back)
I was sitting in my truck at mountains looking into the ocean of trees below. I like to come here sometimes to think
about life, relax and make life
decisions it's just so quiet and so peaceful it's nice to be away from the city.

Sitting in the driver's seat with my feet up on the dashboard and drinking a beer. Since it was kind of chilly tonight I decided to wear a blue sweater, jeans and brown boots.

Taylor Swift was playing from my phone into the truck. That's my guilty pleasure plus I like her music.
A bright yellow light flashed into my dark car the light hurt my eyes.

Then I heard a tap on the my window next to me.

"Open your window sure I heard a cop say to me.
I rolled down my window.

"Yes, officer I said trying my best not to slur my voice.

"Can I see your drivers license he asked with the flashlight still on me.

I opened my sun visor on my passenger side and it wasn't there. I was surprised.

"Do you have one or not sir," he asked.

I checked my wallet and looked all inside the truck and it was nowhere to be found.
I looked down, "I don't have it I told him.

He looked at the beer I was holding in my hand.

"Sir I need you to get out of the vehicle."He said.

I looked over at Monica who's eyes were still on the road.
I looked at her.

"Did I interrupt something?"I asked.

"That's not your business,"she said straight faced.

After that she turned up the radio and the drive become awkwardly silent.
Every time I try to talk to her she either ignores me, turns the radio up or she gives one word answers.

It seemed like forever riding in silence but we finally made it to my house.
As I got out Monica reminded me that I owed her that bail money.

"Also don't tell anyone about this she told me before she pulled onto the road.

I watched her drive off into the night then I pulled out my phone and seen that it was ten thirty.
Thank God I made it home before curfew my parents would have my ass if they found out I was drinking and got arrested that's why I didn't call them.

I couldn't think of anyone else to call plus I remembered her number by heart. I thought about calling Brittney but my pride killed that idea. I would've called Jake but we still haven't talked to each other since homecoming. I honestly think Jake is in the wrong I was into Monica first.
I made it up the stairs to my room and closed door and changed into a grey t-shirt and red pajama pants and got into bed.

The house was quiet my parents were home but didn't even wait up or asked what happened.

I turned off light and went to sleep.
