Just Drive
Introduction
“She’s sick of this town, she’s sick of that boy; yeah she’s sick of Dreams that never take flight.”
Nothing in Riley Andrews’ life ever went right; from her cheating boyfriend, to her dream school rejecting her. Her life was getting unbearable.
Seriously, what else could go wrong?
Seeing as how she had no future, no boyfriend, she realized she had no obligations, no expectations and no explaining to do.
So, she did what she felt was the right thing.
She packed up, and left home.
She was ready to drive, and only drive (Mainly because she hated flying)… all the way to California, that is.
She needed a break, but would she get it?
She has no sense of direction, she can’t work a GPS, let alone read a map. How would she get to California without getting lost or worse, break down in the middle of nowhere?
So, she made up her mind. She wasn’t going alone.
She needed to get to California and it didn't matter who got her there.
Feeling desperate, she made a bold move.
She paid a visit to someone she despises; to someone she hasn’t seen in over a year.
She isn’t sure whether she’ll regret ever getting him to ride along with her, or if she’ll be grateful in the end.
“Just Drive.” She told him, and so he did.
Saving the life of the infamous rookie pirate, Captain Ruben Kirk, catapults Jessica Red into a sea of magic, jewel heists, and world-saving adventure.
