"You don't need to be sorry."

by **Queen Reyna Arellano** Mon Sep 07, 2015 4:10 pm

"I know."

by **Annabeth Chase** Mon Sep 07, 2015 4:11 pm

I buckled myself in and started the car.

by **Queen Reyna Arellano** Mon Sep 07, 2015 4:12 pm

"Jerky?"

by **Annabeth Chase** Mon Sep 07, 2015 4:14 pm

I nodded and grabbed a piece then started driving.

by **Queen Reyna Arellano** Mon Sep 07, 2015 4:25 pm

I reached back and grabbed a water bottle.

by **Annabeth Chase** Mon Sep 07, 2015 4:27 pm

I focused on the road.

by **Queen Reyna Arellano** Mon Sep 07, 2015 4:30 pm

I took a sip before I closed my eyes and reclined my seat.

by **Annabeth Chase** Mon Sep 07, 2015 4:31 pm

I chewed on the beef jerky and sped up a bit.

by **Queen Reyna Arellano** Mon Sep 07, 2015 4:35 pm

"Don't crash," I muttered.

by **Annabeth Chase** Mon Sep 07, 2015 4:39 pm

I smiled a bit, "I won't."

by **Queen Reyna Arellano** Mon Sep 07, 2015 4:45 pm

I gave a small chuckle before I drifted off.

by **Annabeth Chase** Mon Sep 07, 2015 5:02 pm

Walkers were harder to spot at night so I focused entirely on the road.

by **Queen Reyna Arellano** Mon Sep 07, 2015 5:03 pm

So far, no dreams.

by **Annabeth Chase** Mon Sep 07, 2015 5:05 pm

I glanced at the amount of gas left and sighed in relief I don't have to stop and fill it yet.

by **Queen Reyna Arellano** Mon Sep 07, 2015 5:09 pm

Then, the dream started.

by **Annabeth Chase** Mon Sep 07, 2015 5:10 pm

I stayed focused on the road, but occasionally glanced at Tony.

by **Queen Reyna Arellano** Mon Sep 07, 2015 5:12 pm

It started in my home, my home with my abusive foster family. I was in my room, alone.

by **Annabeth Chase** Mon Sep 07, 2015 5:14 pm

I could tell something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what.

by **Queen Reyna Arellano** Mon Sep 07, 2015 5:16 pm

There was a pounding on my door.

by **Annabeth Chase** Mon Sep 07, 2015 5:20 pm

I forced myself to focus on the road.

by **Queen Reyna Arellano** Mon Sep 07, 2015 5:24 pm

I looked around. I had no weapons. The pounding got louder with the yelling. The usual threats of more abuse. I looked down at my arms. Permanent bruises and cuts everywhere.

by **Annabeth Chase** Mon Sep 07, 2015 5:28 pm

"Tony wake up," I said shaking his arm with one hand while still focusing on the road.

by **Queen Reyna Arellano** Mon Sep 07, 2015 5:29 pm

I jerked awake.

by **Annabeth Chase** Mon Sep 07, 2015 5:30 pm

I held onto the wheel with both hands and kept driving, "You were having a nightmare."
