<Hazel POV> (that's the reader)

2 hours doesn't seem that long when you you say it out loud.
But my batterie died half an hour into this taxi ride.

2 months doesn't seam long either when you say it out loud.
But that's two paychecks technically.

My mom doesn't actually get paychecks, you see, she's payed for every service she does, and with service I'm not talking about anything innocent...

It wasn't always like that, back when dad still was with us we were a happy family of three, one that would only stay happy for 10 years sadly...

Mom has distanced herself from me. She claims she loves me but she really just doesn't act like it... her words are empty and meaningless just like her gaze and her motions, she's not the fluid and happy Florence she used to be.

I feel like a burden to her, if I didn't exist, then Mom would be able to save up money and finally move out of this City and get a new job.

That's why when I received an advertisement in the mail for 2 months of vacation on the azures (island belonging to Portugal) I immediately signed up.

To my mothers and my own surprise I actually won.

(But ofc the main character always is special so shhhhh about probability)

And that's how I ended up here. After a long ass plane flight I'm here. In the taxi, with a dead phone. Staring out of the window and wondering why the hell we have to take a car ride up the mountain cliff thing instead of the highway.

Was there a highway?

God nows.

And if God's listening, then god better charge my phone or smth.

Or make this car trip a bit more interesting, because all I can think of is looking at things, and I've looked the driver enough for him to think I'm a psycho of some sort.

Well you can't really blame me he is handsome and I've got nothing else to do so...

I hope he's young enough.

Like not over 22

4 years are a lot of years

But maybe I'd push it to 5 for him...

Eeeeh that's kinda creepy

"And so is staring at me"

Bro. I know that I didn't say that out load

"Excuse me?" I asked bewildered
"Yes?" He turned his head slightly, still watching the road like a GoOD dRiVeR

"Did you just say something?"
His brows furrowed in confusion. Shaking his head he turned back facing foward, probably thinking I'm even crazier than I came off.

Suddenly the vehicle pulled over, I was slightly scared, he was handsome and all but also intimidating.

He looked back over his shoulder with an embarrassed look on his face and muttered head tilted down a bit: "I'll be right back, somethings wrong with the engine"

As he exited the vehicle I sat where I was listening to him opening the back and moving stuff around. Hey at least he wasn't running away from me.

After what seamed like hours, probably only was 20 minutes, he returned and apologized one again for the inconvenience.

"It's happens" I said as I shrugged
"As long as it works now"

He gave me a thankful grin and started driving again.

But this bitch of a car lasted 20 meters.

"I-I'm so sorry" he seamed really nervous

Aww this poor baby. This poor scary handsome baby.

"It's ok, it happens" I gave him a reassuring smile.

He got out once again, after a couple of moments he stood by my door and asked: "hey umm... do you think you could like help me with this? I-I really don't know what's gone wrong this time"

Now here's your turn to choose
(I might not write options sometimes if they don't have enough people choosing them, please comment what you decide to do/say)

Option A
"Sure of course! I don't know much about mechanical stuff though... so I may not be much of a help"

Option B
"I'll try if you give me your number" you said with a smug look on your face.

Option C
"I'm sorry... I'm not much of a help, and my phone died so I can't look anything up"
