Vanessa POV

The truck was parked in the parking lot of a Shell gas station. I tried to get a hold of Matt all night, bit he wasn't answering. Taylor walked out of the general store with bags of food. He opened the truck door and tossed the food into my lap. It was a silent ride for the most part with some cars engines and sneezes here and there. Suddenly my phone buzzed.

"Hello?"

"Hi.."

"I was wondering where you are?"

"I'm at a shithole on the side of the road,"

"I'm serious we are hiding from Hayes.."

"You finally came to your senses..." he scoffed.

"Wow, I'll remember that..." and with that I hung up. Hating myself for talking to Matt like that. I stared blankly at the night sky. I hated being a wanted person. I betrayed the people I could trust the most. Taylor put his hand on my thigh. I put my hand on top of his and our fingers intertwined.

"You don't need to be scared.." he said as I was resting my head on the window. I could only imagine what my family is thinking of me. I am a failure. I let the tears rush down my face. I let Taylor whisper in my ear. I let my mind empty and drifted off into which seemed like an endless sleep.
