An Orphic Love by nala_ontheweekends_

I don't write on here anymore, I just want ideas for this :) ** THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 31, 4:00 AM Mercedes isn't in the mood for pretty much anything besides her comfort murder mystery books movies and spending time with her best friends. Especially not after her boyfriend cheats on her. More importantly, since her brother just got falsely accused of murder. Saying that she has a lot on her plate is an understatement. She has a five-course meal, that's getting harder and harder to swallow. Dario is just trying to keep himself together for as long as possible. Remembering to breathe and to put on a smile for his siblings takes up enough mind space, not to mention the fact that he's in his senior year and he has absolutely no clue what he's supposed to do with his life after high school. But then, on a roller coaster of a field trip, Mercedes and Dario find themselves at the same gas station, on the same Thursday, at 4 AM. Somehow, against all odds, they bond almost immediately. Soon, they find themselves on an adventure of a lifetime, still barely managing to get by. They don't know much about the future. But they can hope that they will be included in each other's.
