Stranded

Taylor was right. I never should have agreed to go to a desert party with Cameron. Where are my shades, did I put them in my bag? Oh my gosh there is so much sand in it. That’s better, less sun blinding me. Time to change playlists that one is getting tired. Whoa warning lights on the dash. What does that symbol mean? Ok think Brooklyn. Maybe I can just keep driving. I can make it home, probably just needs an oil change. I love this song. I wish that Riley had been there. I wish he could think of me as more than a friend. What more lights on the dash! What is that coming from under the hood? Smoke steam oh no. Crap! Better pull over. Well at least I am half way home. One bar of signal, no this is not good. Yeah Brooklyn, because you drove to the middle of nowhere for a desert party. I wouldn’t be in this mess if Cameron hadn’t been such a jerk. I‘ll call triple AAA, hopefully they can find me. How will I tell them where I am? What highway is this? Ughh ok ok don’t panic the directions are in your notes app. Where is my card? Wait in the middle pocket no the side pocket with my gift cards. Here it is! Call failed call failed no no no I am not getting stranded here. I’ll turn the car back on and drive a little bit more maybe I can get more signal. No no no turn on. Oh crap more smoke, maybe it’s over heated. I’ll wait a few minutes and try again. Cameron just had to take it too far. My hands are dry, Ill get my lotion some lip balm. How much water do I have? When did I tell Taylor I would be home? 5 minutes probably not enough time. It’s 7:12pm glad I left early before it got dark. Podcast I’ll listen to my True crime podcast while I wait. I think the boyfriend killed her but how did he manage the timeline? I knew it, his friends clocked him into work but he didn’t get there until an hour later. Yay video cameras. I hope he rots in jail. Ok I’ll try again. Nothing. The sun is going down. Dont panic. Ok maybe call 911. No cars have come by in the last 30 minutes I am not staying in my car all night out in the desert. Ok well it’s now or never. Yesss it connected. So embarrassing hopefully the highway patrol can find me with the information I provided the 911 operator. My hydro is half full, I’ll dig into my snacks since I am not making it to dinner. I should text Taylor I hope she gets it. Why did Cameron have to tease me about brining a periwinkle blanket, like who cares. Now it has those little tiny burrs on it. Jerk face thought it was so funny throwing it in the bushes. I just wanted to have fun why do I do this. Dating sucks men suck. Headlights, finally! Highway patrol car. Stay in the car. Get out of the car. No stay in the car and roll down the window. Its dark turn on the interior light. Which button is it? It’s a he from the shadow. Whoa he is tall. Hmm nice shoulders too. Oh crap he scared me. Stupid! Wave at the guy, that‘s smooth. He has blue eyes, nice. He asked me a question, what was it? Ok yes the car over heated that makes sense. Hood latch, where is it? Ok he is getting water. I hope I don’t smell bad. I wonder how last much longer I’ll be out there. Water is in. Turn it on. Wait. Yes!!! He will follow me until I make it to town.
