Chapter 13- No Trust, Just Need to Survive

Nevaeh's POV

"Are you ready for the best road trip ever?!" Lora cheered, hopping into a family van.

Ashlin was already seated with a book in hand and headphones on. It was going to be a long trip so they packed lots and lots of snacks and drinks. Why am I going with them? I don't really know, they say it's a family trip and that I'm a part of their family. It made me feel a slight warmth inside before it was gone.

Two years had passed and we had only gotten closer. Like Ashlin I would help out in my spare time meaning on the weekends. I'm not surprised I go this far with working because I could never sit and do nothing, I was at wall with the tracking of my family's killers and most of the major and serious thing for the business as been taken care of and I handled those on the weekdays.

It took us roughly 6 hours to get there not including bathroom breaks, it was an... interesting ride. It turns out Ashlin does indeed have a dark side and been locked up in a tight space for long makes even her agitated. She had threatened to throw Lora out the car and worse if she didn't stop her singing, by the way she shut up so quickly I don't think she was joking.

"Let's go buy some food." Ashlin chirped, dragging me off before anyone can say a thing.

We spent hours trying out games and rides and most of all food because Ashlin just loves food. I was pretty much just a ragdoll to keep her company. Though I've never seen her excited about something other than a book or the diner. Her eyes sparkled at each game, she was a star sparkling in excitement then you just have my ray of gloom beside her. Yeah quite the pair.

I stared blankly at the game she picked this time, it was one where you hit the platform or whatever with a big sledge hammer. She is no weak little girl with all the work and voluntary service she does. She is always doing something, it's exercise on it's own but it didn't help with this game. She just wasn't strong enough to win this thing.

Men were chuckling as she pouted and huff, staring calculatingly at the high striker then she joined the line and tried again and again and again.

"Oh I almost reached it this time." She did not, I stared blankly at her form.

"Why don't you just try another game, Ashlin?" She looked at me, before pointing to the prize section.

"I want that giant stuffie." I stared at the stuffed wolf toy that look bigger than me. You have got to be kidding me, when was she ever so childish.

She tried one more time and again losing before joining the line again. I sighed, I can't believe I'm going to do this. I stepped in front of her and gently pushed her out the line.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to get the damn wolf for you." I could feel her eyes ran the length of my body.

"Nevaeh, you're very tiny and could pass for a child if you didn't have all that bust and butt." I rewarded her with a fierce look.

"What's your point? You want the toy or not?"

"I want it! I just don't think with your small body you will do much greater than I did. That thing is really hard." She explained, glancing at the machine.

"We will see." That was all I said as it came my turn, the guy in charge of managing this game looked down at me and full out laughed.

The other men too weren't chuckling anymore, now they were laugh like they seen the funniest thing ever. I grabbed the sledgehammer from the man while he was too busy laughing his ass off.
